Hi Guys

I am from Cape Town in South Africa. after numerous attempts to quit the analogs with failure I finally got hold of an Ecig on Monday and have not looked back I have been analog free since Monday and intend to keep it that way for good.

I got the mini vivi nova and the ce5+ tank with 2 ego batts I think and vaping on some digital juice watermelon and Liqua energy drink and turkish tobacco. I have been chain vaping the lol is this bad?

Any advice for the newbie would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forum.
As far as advice goes drink lots of water especially if you're chain vaping. The juice dehydrates you so plenty of water keeps you both well hydrated and helps clean out the crap from smoking that's built up over the years.
Watch out for headache and or nausea as this could be a sign of nicotine overdose.
Good luck.

i'm a newbie at vaping too. but you're quite right about staying hydrated. ive been chain vaping and my Throat's been dry hahaha. i forget how much it dehydrates a person sometimes. Have you traveled internationally with your PV?

hi, i am new vapers to. hope we can quit analog

Most new vapers have a tendency to chain vape. Just drink water, not caffeinated drinks (these will increase the dehydration). As time goes on, you'll settle into a regular personal vaping style.

Welcome, all!

Hello Sharief and Welcome to ECF,

Well done on making the switch and congratulations on being smoke free.

Nothing wrong with chain vaping. I think we all do it, some more than others. Buying gear is all part of the fun.

Nice to see another South African join the forum.

Hi Meli

Welcome man!

South Africa is beautiful! I can't wait to visit it again. Do you do any fishing/hunting? I have been kicking myself for not doing more of it while I was there!

 

[Sharief]

we fish quite often along the garden route. I love cape town lol

 

[Sabroso84]

The next time I come to Cape Town you'll have to show me your local fishing spots

 

[Sharief]

no problem

Chain vaping you can easily go through 4 or 5 ml a day so having a 150 ml of juice on hand for a month is an idea. Juice if it is kept in a cool dark place will stay good for quite a while. It can get expensive buying prepared juices so you might want to consider making your own. You might also consider buying from places that have sample packs which allow you to try out numerous juices to find what best suits your tastes.

Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay! My advice for you would be to try everything that you think that is seems interesting and good enough to try it. That's what I did. It's a great experience

Hi Sharief, I'm originally from Gangsters Paradise, Jo'ies to be exact. I don't live in za anymore but visit regularly, my parents still live there.

We do have a South African Forum on ECF, it didn't have much traffic but has slowly been picking up. All are welcome. I'm sure you've already worked out that the e-cig business in SA is extortionate. You would probably be better off importing your products. A few of the threads in the SA forum have links to some tried ans tested places to shop from. From what I've gathered best to import your nic separately to your hardware, just in case sapo get clever with your packages.
