I guess it's my turn...

[cg23]

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to vaping and enjoy the ablity to have dropped the cigs now for a lil more than 30 days. I really enjoy this vaping pastime and culture. I'm blessed for asking my co-worker "what is that you're doing". Lol. His reply was "vaping" with a huge smile. I think the smile, as if he had a GREAT secret to quitting the cigs, put me well on this vaping and hopefully better health and lifestyle change. Now, like him I'm smiling at folks and sharing the information, that others interested in cig quitting, will join in on the fun and better health choice. I'm also blessed to have found the blog and I thank you for your efforts to have a place for network support and information. The information here is paramount especially for newbies and vaping enthusiast like me. Thanks again.
Vape ON!

Welcome to ecf.

It is contagious isn't it. You have found your life again and why wouldn't you want to share it with everyone. I know I did and I think most members do to.
Congrats on making the switch to vaping. Wait until your sense of taste and smell come back. And then you will get to where the smell of the cigarette smoke will leave you wondering how and why you ever did that to yourself and the others around you.

It only gets better and better.
Remember to increase your liquid intake as vaping dries you out.

Good luck

Thanks for the welcome and the tip. Yes, definitely need to drink more liquids. Lol. I thought for a minute that I went Vape crazzy or Vape overload Lol. After further read on the blog more water holds true. Yes, another co-worker of mine walked into a shared space after smoking and I almost died. Lol. Now I really know what my ex-wife meant when she screamed repeatedly "YOU STINK". Ofcourse I'd never say that to the co-worker but it opened up a dialogue for an alternative. Plans to meetup at a local Vape shop in the works. I'm happy so why not introduce others. We can learn more about this vaping thing together.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I'd say perhaps you're right. I must also add that I usually go all in on my hobbies. Lol. I'm thinking this one reaps benefits that interest me a lil more than some of my other hobbies. I can only imagine the amount of $ and emabarrasment i'm saving by vaping. I hope to mello out as I find my stride with juices and equipment. All and any suggest are helpful. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your journey. Have fun with the hobby. Unlike my other hobbies I can spend money on this one and my wife doesn't complain

[Virtual Life]

[cg23]

What kind of gear are you using and ejuice?

Hope I get this right Lol. I have I have several bottom load clearomizers brand not sure. Aahh maybe srardust. Thanks. Pour out the suggestions. I'm reading many post on here and you know I'm ready to start firing out questions. LOL

Maybe you should tell us what kind of smoker you were(are). How long did you smoke and how much. This will help determine what type of gear would be most suited to your needs. And what kind of analogues....mild, full flavor?

My Bad My current gear is Itazte vv. I started with a EGO twist that lasted 2 weeks. probably fake. Thats another concern i have- how do you know and how to tell the real gear from fake. Alot of clone items flood the sites I understand.

Juice is 5 pawns Bowdens Mate 18mg 50/50 ( Love)
Steamfactory screwberry 12 18mg 70/30 ( Love)

Several other initial juices which I bought weeks ago from local shop in Baltimore that mixes it's own. Decent but i'm trying to find my way if you know what I mean.

I smoked a pack a day roughly. Newport, Kools, finished with Pall Mall menthol because they were new and cheaper. Smoked for 20+ years

The real ones will have the names or scan verifications on the boxes. Egos' should say ego on the battery or ego twist and evods the
is the same. The company name on higher end models, i.e. Provari. Same as with the clearomizers. They too should have identification on them.
Ejuice is the hardest part to figure out since everyone is so different in what they like. What I like, you may say ewww. LOL
Just start with some sample flavors before committing a lot of money to just one. It is bad when you buy 30mls of something you cannot vape. Sart with 5 packs of 5ml or 10ml bottles that will give you a variety to find some you like.

Most good vendors have these.
good luck.

You might want to consider the MPV2. The battery life is unreal and you can get them for around $40.00. That way you don't have the frustration of continuely charging the vv3 while you figure out what you want to try or end up with.

101vape is out of stock currently
but his link has free shipping and comes with one clearomizer. If you don't like the options, this vendor has many more. I have used this vendor many times and he is excellent.
