Been watching a lot of Phil Busardo trying to learn stuff. Man he can sure vape! Doesn't seem to matter what system he uses either! My vapes are getting better. I get some good and some... well I'm still trying to get the long and slow thing down. Sometimes I forget and blast away at it like a tobacco cigarette. It's not pretty. When I grow up I wanna vape just like Phil!
I have vape envy!

Well congrats on the two weeks. 
Before you know it you'll be vaping like its second nature. 
Before you know it you'll be vaping like its second nature. Sonso, if you need info here, kiwivap has been very supportive and informative for me. I can also give you hints on vaping. I've been vaping for almost 3 years and I love it over smoking. After trying many vendors, I've settled on a few faves, so I can give you hints in that respect as well.
I'm open and ready to hear any advice on anything. I'm using a eGO C 1100 with clearomizers. I seem to be most satisfied with 18 on the nicotine. Just now trying to figure what kind of juice is good for me but have several lined up and switch around a lot. I was a chain smoker and use as much vaping as I need to not feel the need to run run for a cigarette. Anything you tell me will be appreciated for sure.
Sounds to me like you're doing fine Sonso. Good pv, have your nic level where you like it. Got a range of juices you can choose from. You're more organized than I was two weeks into it. If you have any issues with anything as you go on let us know. Except blowing vape rings. I'm not that good at those. I'm trying...
Vaping is the opposite of smoking drag wise. The slower you go the more time the atomizer has to produce vapor----no hot boxing it like a cigarette or you get cool air.
Welcome to vaping and the ECF forum. I was creeping up to 40 analog years when I found vaping

Speaking of how reviewers vape... this is Scott Bonner doing "smoke" rings. I end up pulling funny faces trying to do it. 
Welcome to ECF! And most of all, congrats on your new journey of giving up the cigarettes.
I have the exact same problem...LOL! I usually do this when I'm distracted with something else and grab my PV for a quick hit. Although I'm getting better at the long and slow drag, I'm not consistent with it yet.
No issues with the long and slow bit. If I can do it, it's just a matter of time and you'll have it down pat too! Just trying to the smoke ring thingy ... now why is that so hard

Hi and welcome to ECF. Yes it takes a week or two to break the fast hard draw I had the same problem at first and now I think I have it down 
After 42 years of analogs that was a challenge for me.

Sure is hard not to hot box as one poster said. All those years of habit just kick in before I know it. I'm realizing the success of using a pv happens because it so closely mimics smoking cigarettes. When I get busy or involved in something is when I get those bad, dry hits. I forget it's not a regular tobacco cigarette and puff away. Sure does taste awful though. Many more of those and I bet I improve my vaping style!

Smoke rings hurt my jaw, i look like im trying to eat my nose when i do it.
But it took me a good month to get the different vaping draw down. Now it's just like second nature, when i let one my friends or my dad try my pv and they draw like a cigarette and i hear it i just cringe and calmly tell them what they are doing wrong...unless they keep doing it over and over again XD then i cry.

Lots of vapor has a lot to do with your vaping style, but it also has to do with other things. For one, if you get juice with more VG in it, you'll get more vapor. Also, if you vape at a higher voltage, you'll get more vapor. When you need a new battery, get an eGo Twist. It's variable voltage, and you can crank it up a little. Or....I don't know what ohms you're using, but get a low resistance (1.5-1.8 ohms or so) atomizer/cartomizer and it'll help. There are lots of variables to these things...all good.
I smoked for over 40 years and I've vaped now for over 2 years. Vaping is soooo much better. Never thought I could give up the cigarettes, yet I have. Easily.

Oh man, that line helped! I've been getting minimal cloud until I tried this! Now I just need to get the lower nicotine level in to appreciate this - the 24MG is killing my throat!
