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

[Blackboar]

Whatever device you use, carry a spare battery. Ego, carry a second one. Mod, carry an extra 18xxx or 2.

If carrying 18xxx batteries, keep the spare(s) in a battery case. IMR battery, loose in your pocket with keys and change = bad news one day.

If you're using a smaller tank system, anything less than 3ml, carry a bottle of juice with you, just in case.

Spend time educating yourself, understand that different things work for different people. Find what works for you!

Understand that there are some people have completely lost their minds and that they often post on ECF.

Charge your batteries while you are awake and can react if something should go wrong. Use chargers that are recommended for the device that you are charging and don't mix and match. Just because something fits, doesn't always mean that it will work for that device.

Don't smoke cigarettes.

Make what you have work to the best of your ability before you move on. What you learn will stand you in good stead and if you don't figure it out you'll never have learned that trick.

Don't get too excited and buy the first thing that catches your eye. Do some research, look at different devices, shop online if you like. You'll save yourself a lot of money and time in the long run.

Find your flavor the rest will fall into place.

 

[SabrinaLHS8]

Dont give up! Some point (many dollars spent later) YOU will find something that works for you.

If you are switching to e-cigs to kick the cigarette habit, remember this one thing. YOU HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT - or nothing will work for you, doesn't matter what you buy.

Know your source. Don't buy juice off EBay

I'm going to have to disagree here, I found an eBay US seller that makes really good juice with natural flavoring and uses a 70/30 VG/pg mix. It's Rare to find that, but they are out there. I would say Don't buy ejuice from any vendor in China.

I'm going to have to disagree here; the Hangsen and Liqua juices from China these days are for the most part excellent. They tend to be simpler flavors, but are very true-tasting.

This was not the case 9 months ago when many of these tended to be chemical-smelling with muddy flavors. Hangsen Juicy Peach has been a big favorite from Day 1, though!

Nothing's perfect.

I thought they could not put Nicotine on the E-bay juice?

I'm getting the feeling that Ebay has become somewhat lax on their enforcement of their own rules.
But it could just be that they don't have the manpower to police everything.

Not sure.

Didn't read all pages but:

Don't buy lot's of something. I have a box of unused things, and an a4 sheet full of liquids..... waste of money

 

[anumber1]

I guess I would recomend not treating starting out as just a quick, instant cure for smoking.

I know I should have done much more reading and learning before bloeing a lot of time and money on crappy hardware and crappy gas station juice.

I started off with good beginner gear (genuine kanger evod starter kit) but got a bit derailed by also buying crappy, cheap knockoff stuff to get a spare tank or new flavor on a whim. If I would have had some paitence, I would not have a dozen bottles of un-vapeable puff juice and crapply made knockoff ce4/5 tanks.

I dont regret my protanks and evods. Love love love my kayfuns and 18650 mods though.

I needed the learning curve, I just didnt want to put in the time and effort at first. I realize now that through time and effort, I have figured out what works for me and am now really happy with my stuff and it works consistently great for me now.

But I research the crap out of anything I am enamored with now before I spend the money to experiment.

Find a couple of good tobacco-flavored juices for your initial transition away from cigarettes. When you are really craving a smoke, a watermelon/strawberry/banana/whatever flavored vape just doesn't satisfy as much as the tobacco flavors. Blueberry Muffin or Tropical Paradise Dream will be a wonderful alternative (even initially) but do yourself a favor and focus on finding a tobacco flavor you enjoy. I'm a complete newbie BTW and experiencing this right now.

 

[wheelie]

Don't cheap out. Cheap junk leads to frustration. your health is what matters and that has no price.

I would advise Victory! You gotta want to win.
