If you could only one tip to a newbie what would it be?

[flexsr]

as title reads. speak up if you wish. maybe it will help some vets too. try and steer away from device oriented tip but if you must feel free. curious what some will say... maybe the tip should be for a "vet" to post this in the proper section..shhhh I don't know i figured it might hit more intermediate and vet vapers here.

Don't read ECF.

ECF turns vaping into an expensive "hobby".

Never buy version 1 of anything.

This is so true! I've been vaping for a week and already spent over $800 on gear and juice! Keep finding interesting things on here

 

[nebulas]

Always have backups of your backups!

 

[erazzz]

Don't wait till the last minute to re-order your favorite juice. Always have plenty on hand!

 

[Singaw]

Inhale slowly into your mouth, pull the vape into your lungs and slowly exhale through your nose. Vaping should be enjoyed like a good cigar, not rushed like a five minute smoke break.

 

[Robino1]

When first getting liquids, only get sample sizes until you figure out what your flavor profile is. Also get a couple of different nic strengths until you find what works for you.

 

[Singaw]

You said one tip but I can't help but add another...

Don't buy the molasses looking e-juice that has been sitting on display at a variety store in the bright sunlight for God knows how long. Buy from a place that keeps their e-juice nicely tucked away in a cool dark place.

 

[Maurice Pudlo]

Stick with it, it is so worth it.

Don't worry about labels, except in regards to the contents of your juice. Find a simple, tried and true set up while you are trying to quit. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to re-invent the wheel while trying to quit smoking.

Stick with it, even on "bad vape" days.

Drink lots of water.

No, your cold/flu is not caused by vaping and if you spill some juice on yourself, you will be ok.

(I know I was only supposed to give one...)

 

[Jugband]

No matter what, stick with it!

Nothing will ever be a true replacement to cigarettes!;but I do only spend 7$ a week on juice.

It wasn't until I tried some really good tobacco ejuice in a mini protank 2 on a vision spinner 2 that I was able to quit smoking. Cig-alikes dont work nearly as well as a decent e-cig setup that can be found online for less than 20$ shipped, get a decent mid level set-up like that and save yourself that cigarette money! Plus if you somehow cant commit to it like the rest of us, your only out 30-ish dollars.

I vape on a MVP2 which I believe most would consider the step up to Spinners and Twists, yet still a step below the more expensive full mods.

dont buy stuff to "start with" when you start. just get the best

Disagree COMPLETELY.

Buy stuff that is simple to use and won't cost a bunch of money. Concentrate on finding good juice. The rest will be gravy.

Don't discard juice that you initially do not like.

You will be amazed at how much your tastes will change during your first few weeks/months of no tobacco.
Also, the juice itself will change as it steeps. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much!
After you are at this for awhile, the mad scientist or gourmet chef inside you will have fun mixing those juices together and maybe inventing something new and amazing!

And if not, then play those juices forward to someone else who may just love what you do not! Win/win!

 

[Ease]

Concentrate on finding good juice. The rest will be gravy.

Fantastic advice. The juice is key, you've got to find something you can stick with long term.

 

[Ryan Kelly]

first find flavors that you love and are quality made in the US. no point in spending 1000+ bucks on vape gear if you have no good juice to put in it IMO
