I'm new to vaping, quick piece of advise please!

[AttyPops]

..........What am I gonna do! I love vaping and it seems the best way to give up the cigarettes, in fact it seems like cheating..

It is "cheating". That's what makes it so frigg'n cool and a LOT easier to give up smoking if you wish! Solving the nicotine thing is another issue.

Oh, and I see you've said:

ARRGGHHHH

Welcome to the e-cig learning curve. Don't worry. You'll get over it quickly. Keep plugging!

The flavorings are food flavors normally added to food . I have on the side of one of my flavors to add 3 to 5 drops per 8oz serving . That would be when it is used to flavor food of course . If you do buy the 36mg stuff you can mix it down to the strength you need for example if you use 2/3 36mg unflavored eliquid and 1/3 propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin or a combination of them you will have a 24mg strength eliquid . You can also find eliquid calculators online as well such as this one eJuice Recipe Calculator or this one you can install eJuice Me Up - e-Juice e-Liquid Recipe Calculator that is the one I use .

 

[Bdbodger]

Depending on what flavor your using I like 2 to 3 drops of flavor per ml of base eliquid . The eliquid should have time to steep as well .

Haha Well I thought I was getting nicotine all these days and have smoke only 4 cigarettes in 6 days! Turns out I've had hardly any nicotine intake whatsoever lol
Well, today's the first day I'm trying a nicorette patch and It's been stuck on for a couple of hours and the head rush has just worn off haha! That will also explain that me thinks =)
It's just the feeling of the smoke hitting my throat that I love so I think vaping really is the only way for me

I'm so glad that this forum exists and I'm really happy with all your responses and warm hospitality

Thank You

Bdbodger, Thank You, this information really helps. I don't think I'm gonna start DIY as yet but probably in a few weeks when I know what I'm doing I will do This info really helps.

Chrissie,

OK guys,
One more question for the time being..
What do you think of these for my Tornado..?
510 XL Clearomiser (SMOKEY BLACK) - 5 Pack

 

[Bdbodger]

It can be trial and error . The first link I posted they seem to suggest 20% flavor . I find that to be too much but to each his own I guess . I think start at no more than 10% flavor and then add more if you think it needs it . Premixed is much easier though but if you want to try DIY then it can be hit or miss . Either way good luck you made the right choice by switching to vaping .

Clearomizers can come apart easy so grip it at the bottom when you put in on the battery . Cool color though . I prefer metal cartos though they don't come apart or crack like the clear ones do and I like to put a drip tip on them . I pulled the tube off of a clearomizer by accident taking a drip tip off . That would not happen with a metal carto .

Oh yeah, and also what is OHM? Should I get 2.4-2.6 or 2.6-2.8?

Thanks

 

[Chrissie]

If you want to try some cartomisers, I can highly recommend these dual coil ones (stainless steel option)

Dual Coil (5 Pack) Clear & Stainless Steel £8.49 - Vaping Spares - Cartomisers Vaping Devices | E-cigarettes | Accessories | E-Liquid

The OHMS is the resistance rating - basically, the lower the resistance, the hotter the attie/carto will burn. The 1.5OHMs in my link above are ideal for your Tornado.

Did your e-cig come with the "Vaping Meditation CD"?

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmm........................................

 

[AttyPops]

Ohms are electrical resistance. So.... the higher the number, the less electricity....and heat... and performance. Try the 2.4. Stay at 2.0 ohm or higher for the eGo type units IMHO.

 

[TurkishBeauty]

aww guess what.. i wanted to order the item b4 3pm so it arrives tomorrow and no one replied b4 2:50pm & by this time I'd purchased the 2.6-2.8 :S
will it be ok?
I will remember all this for next time tho

 

[Chrissie]

I was a minute late I replied at 2.51pm re the OHMs

The 2.6 cartos will work fine on your Tornado but the ones I linked to would give you more throat hit & vapour.

BTW, in case you don't know, the Tornado is TW's rebranded eGo & a Riva that so many folks talk about is a good (& usually cheaper) Tornado/eGo clone

 

[Hoosier]

Wow! Reminds me of that review saying how bad the juice was from TPA. I remember posting that TPA only sold flavorings and didn't even have juice and wonder how the OP mixed it. The reply made me chuckle to myself for a few days because the OP didn't mix it, just vaped it.

I can see how a mistake can be made at TW since they carry so much stuff. (like their Patriot Range Tobacco flavorings there)

Yeah I definitely think that @ TW site they could make things a bit clearer haha Typical...!
I've received my proper ejuices today and the vapour is so different haha

Ah well, I was too impatient then. And guess what, it didn't even arrive today!
I will defo use the informarion for next time though.
The throat hit is what its all about so thanks for explaining the OHM thingy.

Cheers
