Lessons Learned

[bam2873]

Hi all,

As a relatively new vaper, I was hoping some of you might share the lessons you've learned since you started vaping to help those of us who are new avoid some mistakes. What do you think were among the most important lessons from your experience vaping so far?

I'm sure there a lot of us who could benefit from the examples you share!

Thanks in advance.

Lesson #1 is research before purchase

Lesson two; Wait a day before hitting the pay button. Today's must have is tomorrows garbage....

The best lesson learned is to join this site before doing almost anything...lol

Everything you want to know is here somewhere, the people are all completely supportive of each other, and no one will make fun of your mistakes.

Lesson #1 is research before purchase

Lesson: Skip the ciga-likes and eGos. Go straight to something decent.

Don't order 3 x 100 ml bottles on your very first vape order just because they are on sale (like I did). You might end up not liking ... some

Lesson 3= Do it at your own pace. and refer back to lesson 2 and 1 and lesson 4 drink a lot of water and refer back to lesson 2 and 1.

When the rest of the lessons are posted refer back to lesson 1 and 2

Good Luck

Best lesson I've learned (took me a while). Have at least one mod in your collection. It doesn't have to be a high dollar one. It can be as simple as a $35 box mod from Madvapes. As a new vaper, I found myself starting out wanting something the same size and shape as a cig.
As time went by, the size and performance of my PV choice slowly increased.

There isn't a thing wrong with having a few tiny cig looking devices (they certainly have their place), but I wish I had have bypassed the gradual transition from cig-a-like auto devices, and just bought a decent VV mod to begin with. I guess most people don't do that when starting out because they prefer not to carry around something that looks like a garage door opener, but after seeing the difference in satisfaction from a decent mod, I don't much care what it looks like.

Thanks guys, these are all really good, especially the one about waiting a day before making a purchase! That's one I wish I'd followed more than once!

Biggest lesson: Open a separate bank account/credit card that the significant other does not know about

lol!!! I can relate!!!

Lesson 1) Skip the cig-a-like and just get an eGo setup
Lesson 2) Buy high quality juice
Lesson 3) Expect to spend more money than you originally planned for
Lesson 4) Buy your significant other their own setup as well so they don't steal your stuff all the time!

Backups for your backups for your backups. Then when you think you have enough backups... get another one.

Batteries, liquids, and delivery devices included.

 

[EvilZoe]

If you don't like the juice you buy, put it away for a couple of weeks and come back to it. A lot of the time it needs to steep (age) and the flavor can change dramatically to the better.

Don't get frustrated. Keep trying to find one you can stick with in the meantime.

 

[Kuidaore]

Do a lot of research, don't blow a lot of money at once (...I'm still making this mistake, come to think of it) - find something that works and stick with it, use it as your backup. Then if you decide to get a bunch of new gear and liquids, you can tinker with those and always go back to what's tried and true.

Also if there are good B&Ms in your area (check Yelp reviews), asking someone face to face any vaping related questions you have, helps a lot.

If Your looking for a B&M check this out Home - ECF E Cigarette Store Locator

If You find one thats not listed do the community a favor and add it

I like the one about buying your significant other a PVD. Mine was sneaking all my stash. I got her started and now she buys her own and has totally different tastes than me. Sometimes she'll bring a new flavor home I actually end up liking.

HAVE FUN!!!!!! This shouldn't be a chore like "Awwww MAN! I have to run to the store for a pack of cigs". This is "Hummm should I try the caramel vanilla cappuccino, the cherry tabaco, the fuzzy navel, or the cotton candy tonight?".
