Hi everyone! I'd like to intodruce myself. I'm an 18 years old guy from Brazil, and I've recently started a plan on quitting cigarettes. I've had experiences with vaping before, and I'll tell you about that in just a little bit. Let's start talking about my smoking habits first.
I've lost my dad when I was 14 years old, and that was really, really tough to handle. I was depressed, and with depression I started to act like a rebel 14 years old kid would. Differently from many, I wasn't influenced by my friends to start smoking, I did it by myself. Good thing is, I've never been an avid smoker. When I was 14 until 16 I would only smoke in the weekends. When I turned 17, I was in last year of high school and would eventually go to parties, and I would smoke like a pack per weekend, not that bad considering people who use a pack per day.
I've recently entered college, and that made me smoke a lot more. Still not a pack a day or anything crazy, but at least 3~4 cigarretes a day and mostly kreteks (the stronger ones). I've decided that I don't want to do this anymore and I'm willing to switch from cigarettes to vaping.
My first experience with vaping was when I was 16 y/o. I find out about it through youtube videos, so I decided to buy myself the cheapest eGo kit I could find. Due to lack of knowledge about vaping, I've used that electronic cigarrete for about a month, vaping 12mg nicotine juice. After a month or so, my tank started leaking, the vapor would come with a disgusting burnt taste, and I didn't know anything about vaping so I just assumed it was broken and I threw it away, I didn't know I could simply replace the heater core. (Now I'm much more experienced, I understand about heater cores, coil, etc etc) and never had any contact with vaping anymore.
Recently, with my decision to switch to vaping, I've bought myself another "generic" (altough it looks way better than my first one) kit, which consists of an 900mah battery and a Ce5 clearomizer. I'm vaping an 18mg nicotine juice due to the recent change from cigarettes and everything is good so far. Unfortunately here in Brazil electronic cigarettes are not regulated and are not cheap, so even this cheap kit came out a little expensive compared to the U.S. prices.
I'm already thinking of stepping my game up, maybe in a couple months. As I've mentioned before, I do have certain knowledge about e-cigs and know the difference between certains models. Since I'm still a "beginner" and it's really hard to make custom mods here since we have no shops nor vendors, I'm planning on buying a robust starter kit, such as the Smok Micro One E (that's the one I'm aiming for it in a couple months).
Well, I think that was quite a long text but you guys get to know me better. Any tips or recomendations on upgrades will be appreciated. I don't like to say this but I'm sorry about any english mistakes, I've had classes for a long time but I know it's not 100% perfect.
Thank you guys, and vape on!

Think you're making a good choice with the Smok kit you are looking to get. I find Smok makes durable gear while retaining a fair low end cost for consumers. I am using a Smok kit at present.
