Intimidating information!

[Fog-e]

Wow, this world is a whole lot bigger than I imagined
I have been a smoker for 33 years. NEVER thought I would be able to kick the habit but have been smoke free for 5 weeks now. Only been vaping for the past two. Pretty much nicotine free. It has been hard, but I don't think I would have made it if I hadn't bought an e-cig. Are there members on this forum who are not into the complicated "big-guns" and just here for some moral support and to follow info re juices and other people's experiences, good places to order, etc?
I have a "JustFog Maxi" (in South Africa and don't think we have the variety available that most of you do). Is that going to be ok to use on an ongoing basis?

Welcome Fog-e! Yep there are tons here that are into the simpler set ups or mainly discuss juice flavors, etc! After you reach 5 posts you can post in all the different sections. It is an intimidating amount of information, but it's fun too!! Just take your time.. all the answers to your questions are here! You'll quickly get the hang of it and start to realize that it's all not as complicated as it seems at first.

even us people with "big guns" are here for the support of others. when getting people to switch this is the first place i try to send them so they realize what they see around town is just a small percentage of the real vaping community.

many of us here, even after settling in or looking for more complicated toys to play with like to be around like minded people who enjoy and understand vaping.

I have gotten several people into vaping but they have no desire to go further then hey it works. So im alone for the gadgety or technical coolness and i stay here where people actually understand WTH im talking about.

you will find many people here are friendly and a lot of us know each other well. there will always be someone willing to answer your questions no matter how silly or redundant it seems.

relax, sit back, enjoy the ride................. your now among friends who understand and have probably been through everything you can imagine

3 months quitting a 35 year habit here and ya, I'm more than happy with my Ego type setups.

 

[Fog-e]

Awesome - thanks all. Really appreciate your friendliness and look forward to learning more.

 

[Joeyjoe]

Congratulations on making the switch, If it works keeping you off cigs than its good! Always learning myself..but it's a great place here to learn more.

 

[airkaos]

congratulations and welcome I was a 30 year smoker until I tried an ego with a c4 and haven't looked back in almost 3 months.
Lots of info on this forum.

 

[Melis]

Im a small one!! Smoked for 20 years and quit with a halo g6, still vaping it. But, I love learning on this forum, just in case i wanna join the "big guns" one day! And, everyones quick to answer questions and very friendly.

 

[Saltraker]

Only a few days into vaping with an ego c4 starter and loving it. I still have an analog every once in awhile, but have seriously cut down on lighting up since I started vaping. Happy with my setup, but looking forward to getting bigger mod, etc. as time goes on. And I think this was my fifth post!

I got a lot of use out of an ego-T, but I really started to only like it fresh off the charger. The ego type batteries have an output voltage that degrades rather quickly. When I switched to my first mod, I didn't notice the degradation until right before the battery needed to be changed. I also started liking an increased Power/Watts and Energy/Volts output, being able to decide if the power comes in all at once or gradually, checking resistance of coils without taking them off and using a multimeter, and keeping track of my batteries capacity. Not only is there all of that, but it just looks sexy.. I get the vibrator comparison a lot, but those people are just jealous.

Hey, it's a hobby, I'm going anywhere my whims take me!

 

[Aquam]

Congrats!!! 20 years for me, ow I'm strictly ecigs 2 months in. I'm fascinated by the high end mod collecting. Have a few already and don't even know how to rebuild. Still learning. Love it!!

grats on kicking the habit, so long as your happy with your setup that's all that matters.

 

[Uncle Ralphie]

Its been a month for me with no analogs......I still prefer the ciggy type with carthos. As long as it does the job.
Besides, I see that mod building stuff heading to a guy hauling around a 55 gallon drum of E-Juice with a car battery on top, a garden hose for a mouthpiece and a rather large red wagon to haul it all around.

Welcome to ecf. I noticed you are from SA and ecf happens to have a forum for your country. Here is the link
South Africa Forum

good luck

I'm not sure how difficult it will be to order supplies from the U.S. but here are the companies I do business with:

For batteries and cartomizers: Vapor4Life.com
For Do-It-Yourself E-juices: Wizard Labs.com

So far I really haven't had a reason to go beyond these two companies. I use the Vapor-Zeus large battery, tanks, Smilomizers (made especially for the Vapor Zeus, 3.5ml and 6.0ml sizes) and tanks. I'm sure there are other good products out there but the customer service from both of these companies is fantastic. Wizard Labs has had some stocking issues but I believe it was due to moving to a bigger facility to handle the increased demand for their products. Vapor4Life has always been great to me. If I received a defective cart (it happens) or any problems they would ship me a new unit no questions asked.

Good luck my friend,

Thank you Sugar and Spice

Vaping is so much better than smoking. I'm almost 2 months in cig free, and don't miss it one bit. Vape flavors are so great, don't know how I enjoyed a reg cig, they truly taste like crap and stink.

i have a simple setup and a big setup, one for mobile and one for at home.
