As someone new to vaping, and have failed at vaping, there are so many things I wish I would have known, cause I may have not failed as much.
1.People smoke different. Some go strait to the lungs, others put the smoke in there mouth then inhale it to there lungs. Mouth to lung seems to need a higher nic content to curb the urge, while strait to lung seems to need a lower content. I am mouth to lung, and 18 mg is my sweet spot, gf, strait to lung, and 6 is her sweat spot.
2. Smoking a cig is NOT a fail. Far from it. Dont be afraid to smoke a cig, in time, you will learn to HATE the taste of cigs. Give it time, you will get there.
3. Never get your Mods, or Juice from the internet. Go to your local vape store, try different flavors, Find what tastes good to you, Rotate your flavors often, Smoking the same flavor to long is such a BIG mistake. The same flavor all the time, you get way to used to it, and will get vaper's toung. You wont be able to taste the flavor any more.
4. Are you vaping to quit, or replacing smoking with vaping?. If your quiting, then you dont need a super expensive vape machine. I use a simple, single battery set up.
5. Vaping is not a "magic bullet". YOu will have urges, Vape through them, the urges will pass. Vaping is not smoking, you wanna vape slow, and exhale through your vape through your nose, the nose seems to absorb the nic better. Just remember, vape SLOW!! give your body time to absorb the nic.
6. Keep a back up vape machine if you can. Keep a spare battery fully charged on hand. That way your machine goes bad, or battery dies, you have that back up.
7. Try not to chain vape. If you have to chain vape, maybe up your nic content. The machine is to help you over the urges. Vape trough them, then set your vape aside.
8. Set your vape machine to best match the cig. I use a low wattage single battery Mod. I start at 30 wats, then adjusted it to match the cig. 34 wats is the sweet spot. I burn through a 5 mil tank a day. Sometimes less. I wanna keep it there.
9. I find, as well as the gf, that keeping the nasty cigs around helps. We dont panic, there there if we have to, but we choose not to. That is just a personal thing, and you may find not having them any where near you works best for you. Just do what works, do whatever it takes to keep on vaping, and not walking around stinking like a ash tray.
In the end, you have to decide how you wanna vape, is it something you wanna do full time? Do you wanna quit?
When it comes to your vape machine, 20 people are gonna swear to 20 different machines. Just find something simple, vape, and quit smoking. Dont drive your self crazy trying to find the "right vape machine". Try not to drive yourself crazy finding that "super flavor".
Buying your juice from the internet, as someone new to vaping is SUCH a big mistake. You may find the juice you got, may not be to your liking, tastes horrible. You get what you pay for.
Best of luck, you can do this, tons of people do.
