Hi all. Im new to this site and recently joined this community to help aid in my vaporizing journey. I smoke about 15 a day and I've tried a few ecigs. Early last year I went down the sky cig route (ones that look like a cigarette) but the hit just wasnt there. Still tho as quick as I started I was back on the fags. Then I saw many people while walking thru town one day with the eliquid pens and tanks ect. The ce4's and ce5's and what not. Didnt know what they were at first but soon learned about them. Decided to give it ago and loved it. Simple starter kit, ego battery, charger, case, and some ce4's. Worked a treat and was smoke free for 2 weeks. My gf offered me a ... and its the first time I hated the smell, hated the taste. First time ever I gave it her back half smoked lol.
I started to have problems tho, leaking mostly. I bought some more ce4's from a local. It just seemed hit a miss after that. Some were made well then some not so and leaked. Tried from different places to rule out the vendor but seems they get them from the same place probably china but slap there name on it. After a few times at work, you know your at work, long day, take the ecig out. It leaks or somethings happens then thats that. Found myself taking a pack of fags with me just incase so at least Ive got something if it goes bad. And yep.... you guessed it. Back on the fags. Christmas came so got that out of the way and thats brought us to today.
I loved and still do love vaping. Those 2 weeks were fantastic and want to bring it back. If you get the right set up, strength and flavor its a match made in heaven and much better than the fags. I love it. I've spent the better part of last week searching, googling, and watching you tube vids and review. Grimmgreen being my favorite. And basically just swatting up on whats out there. I've already spent a small fortune on ecigs and replacements and spares and so on. But I am all pumped up to getting back on the wagon and getting a great set up and going for it with the right e-liquid.
Im far from an expert but these last 3 days of learning and searching have made me the more wiser towards them. Ive looked, watched, and read and come pay day this 15th I'm going to be putting in an order. I've gone off the wicks from past experience and like the cartomizers so want to give that a try. I just wanted to see what you guys think. Its difficult because I realize its all personal preference but.... I dunno, is this a good set up? Any problems I should look out for with it? Any advice really would be greatly appreciated. I just dont want to spend another small fortune and be riddled with problems again. Ive had a bad experience but its a new year. And I'm ready to get back on the wagon as it were.
This is what Ive settled on unless someone gives me a better alternative or heck even if a website I've chosen is one to stay away from.
Ok:-
Ive heard good things about boge. So from CoolVapes.co.uk Im going to get the £39 Kit. 2x Boge F16 Tanks, 5x Spare Cartomizers, Ego Twist 1100mah, Plinth, Charger, and case. Also Getting a nice Drip Tip for £2.99 and an extra ego twist for £18.99
And for flavour, again I know personal preference but this is mainly because im quite new to the whole ratio thing. Ive learned what I can about blockages and being too thin it can leak and so on. But reviews can only go so far, heck some are paid for so bit of a learning curve. Heard 70%pg 30%vg is a good mix for boge cartomizers. Apparently I'm going to get some good smoke from this and its still thick to lessen the risk of leaks yet still not thick enough to cause a blockage. Please correct me if Ive gotten this wrong. Found a site I liked the look of called Vapology.co.uk and going for a 60%40% mix. Bit of a contradiction from above but on there site thats coming up as recommend in brackets for this flavour :/ Not sure if it matters. Hopefully someone here can advice me on that one. But yea, Tobacco 18mg flavor 60/40 with an extra flavour of caramel at 20%. Hoping for a nice tabocco flavour with an after taste of a hint of caramel. Time will tell. Thank You and I do apologize Ive wrote an essay here lol.
Thank you all again in advance for your help and advice. Fingers crossed no problems with what Ive chosen and hopefully this time my experience will be better from these fantastic machines
