Just starting out

[BadTuna]

Hi all: I quit smoking about 5 years ago and I am trying to help my wife swith from cheyenne cigars (1 pack a day) to vapor. I read some tips on the fourm and shared it with her and we decided to start her out with a Chuck mod with a 901 atomizer. went with the dual 3 volt batteries and 36mg totally wicked smoke juice. I did not order any carts cause I thought she could just drip. Everything is here except the Chuck (It's being built now). The more I read, the more confused I get. Was I wrong to start with a Chuck? Is 36 mg juice too much? should she use carts? Please give me some advice. She'll still be smoking Cheyennes for a few more weeks so I've got time to alter the course. Thanks

Yep! BadT,You've made a good choice wiff da Chuck!! Personaly i would use it at only 3.7v with a 18650 battery,vaping at a higher voltage may burn out atoms a little quicker than @ 3.7v. Jeff @ Thagbuilt will do ya right and will stand behind his work!!...Hecknaw

I would get a few carts and some lower mg liquid,you can mix it to get what works for her.Ive used a cart and dripped a few drops on the atomizer.I like to have the carts and a choice of juice strength.Its not much more $$ to give her the options and let her see what she likes.

Thanks for the advice. That's what I need. I thought we were on the right track then I wasn't sure.

36mg seems a bit high, but all you need to do is buy some food grade VG/PG and cut it down if you run into problems. I personally started at 24mg and found that it was killing my throat, lowered it to 18mg and found my happy place.

Also different e-liquids will have differing TH independent of the nicotine level. Halo's Harley 56 at 18mg had as much TH as others at 24mg. The key is to experiment and the more you do, the sooner you find what works for you.

If she is used to smoking Cigars and Cigarettes. 36mg should be fine.

I was about 1 pack/day and now I vape 36... it's a little on the strong side for me.

I smoked just over half a pack of non-filtered American Spirits and 36mg was the nic strength that killed my cravings. I think you are on the right track, but having something to cut with if it is too much will not hurt.

What part of Indiana do you stomp around in?
