I used to Snus... switching to vaping

I smoked a long time ago (last cigarette was Oct 10, 2012) until I suffered multiple pulmonary emboli and had to quit. I've been snusing since then and, after my wife picked up a vaporizer from her sister-in-law, I've been doing research on how it would affect me if I picked it up. Turns out, most people on blood thinners (I'm not currently) experience a drastic drop in red blood cell production from quitting analog cigs, which increases their clotting ratio (they pharmaceutically become hemophiliacs from the thinners) and are able to decrease their dosage of thinners. So... I have decided to pick it up myself and purchased an EVOD starter kit a few bottles of juice and a Pro Tank to get me started.

Now I'm here to learn as much as I can to make my vaping as enjoyable as possible.

Also, equipped with the above information, it also seems that vaping would be WAY safer for women on birth control as the risks for clotting increases when they are on birth control and smoking.
 
A little bit of an update... I bought a HyperTank 5mL Clearo (cost me $12). Popped it on my EVOD battery and I am amazed. The throat punch is perfect for me and gives me a very satisfying amount of vapor on the exhale. It doesn't look too good on the eyes due to the immense size difference so I'll be picking up a beefier mod soon, but I'm very excited for my new toy, lol.

I dipped and smoked until a month ago. The day I bought an ecig was the last time I did either and the transition has been seamless. Can I ask why you want to quit snus? It has a lot of the same perks as ecigs in terms of convenience and health. I've been thinking of putting the e-cig down and going back to it, but to Swedish portion snuss, instead of the skoal long cut I had been using.
 
I'm a student, currently, and ALL campuses have banned the use of tobacco products (which doesn't make sense with snus, obviously); so, as my wife was already doing it, vaping was just a natural progression. Plus, I'm still a smoker at heart, and there's a certain satisfaction that comes from seeing that puff coming out of my lungs. Another issue is that I was a huge fan of Thunder brand snus which is no longer available to me as Arizona state laws on the importation of tobacco have become too strict.

Thanks for the response, that makes a lot of sense. It's a shame they've banned importation of snus considering it's healthier than domestic chew. I've found the nicotine works regardless of how I consume it. Surprisingly I've never really felt like a smoker. I smoked mostly in the car, or out at bars, at home and work I'd just chew. 2-10 cigs a day, and a can of skoal. They're both unappealing now that I vape.

With your pro-tank, they sometimes have flooding issues. I hated them at first, but now a mini pro-tank is my go to. I use the factory coils. You can get them in different resistance ratings. The lower the ohm, the more vapor you get. My 1.8 ohm pro-tank mini puts out clouds that rival rebuildables. Also bravo on your first hardware choices.
