just another newb

Hi, I'm Amy The long term effects of smoking are becoming very taxing so I'm giving vaping a shot. I wish I had found this forum earlier! I purchased a Blu starter pack on Friday, had a defective charging pack so I exchanged it for another on Saturday and got home to find ANOTHER broken charging pack lol! On Sunday I did a quick bit of looking around the internet and ended up buying an ego twist 1100, a couple of clearos and 2 bottles of juice, both tasting a bit questionable even though I tried them in store haha.

I've only smoked one cig since I purchased the ego, so I feel really positive about this. Lifelong smoker, I've quit 4 times the last time for 4 years. I've been smoking again for about a year now and my body is just screaming to put it down for good. I've put in an order with alhusions for 6 10ml bottles, and 2 bottles of juice by suicide bunny. Thinking of buying another battery, I mentioned that to the guy in the store when I bought the first one and he looked at me like I had two heads but it seems like most of the people here, from the lurking I've done at least, prefer to have a few batteries.

How much juice does one typically go through in one day? I'm pretty much letting myself hit it whenever I want and constantly worrying I'm overdoing it, but I haven't even gone through hardly any juice so maybe I'm allowed more? I'm vaping at 18 mg and 4.2 voltage. I still crave cigs non stop pretty much, but I expect that to some extent.

Also super curious about dripping? Tell me your ways drippers!

Hi Amy!
Welcome to ECF. Congrats on making the switch, and I love that you're jumping in with both feet.

The cravings will dwindle in time. For me, I enjoyed ordering and sampling lots of flavors to distract me.

I agree with you on the extra battery. You need a second for when the first is charging. Plus if that one should die on you, you don't want to be without.

I think a good average for most people is about 2-5ml a day. Your body will definitely let you know if you're over doing it. For me, just like if I smoked to many cigarettes - nauseous.

I just started dripping, so I'll let someone else tell you more about that...but this explains a very basic set-up. (helped me, thanks again to the ocelot).

Best wishes on your vaping journey.

Hello Amy, nice work on only smoking one cig! If you feel yourself slipping there's plenty of friendly people here to offer support.

I think the amount of juice a person goes through pretty much differs person to person. Some vape a bit harder than others. Vaping as you feel the urge is pretty much the norm for all I think.

As for dripping, I've never done it, but I'm planning on it. Some of the GURU's can give you much better advice than I on that front.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on quitting analogs. It's been 4 months for me and no looking back. Sounds like you are going the right direction with everything. I suggest keeping a good variety of flavors on hand to help keep cravings down. Plenty of knowledgeable people on here to help you along the way.

I like your name! LOL. I haven't tried any thing from suicide bunny but I want too. I hear great things about Mother's Milk in particular. Extra batteries are always good. Just like emily n portland said. You want to make it as easy as possible to vape so you don't have an excuse to pick up a stinky.

Congrats on quitting, and on!

I used a similar e-cig to blu as my 2nd purchase. I used or refilled 2 or 3 cartomizers a day. It didn't help me stop smoking, only cut down.

Then, I got an eGo. I stopped within 2 days. I use under 2ml most days.
