My first month

[arbogast]

It's been roughly a month since I started vaping. I took to it immediately, liking it better than smoking analogues. As a beginner I opted for the EGO-route, cartos and premixed juices.
I did have a few obstacles though.
As a heavy smoker I naturally thought I'd need 24-36 mg nic. I had a cpl of baaad days with polyrhythmic heart rates, headaches & dizziness until I found out the correct chain vaping NIC strength for me is around 8 mg.
As I needed to dilute my juices I bought a couple of flavours to add. I overdid a bit on adding vanilla ice (from TW) while gobbling brandy with my GF.
Don't overdo this particular flavor! It lingers in mouth, throat and lungs for days! I'll never touch that flavour again in my life! This was the only point at which I seriously considered smoking a cpl of analogues.

My next step will be purchasing a mod or two. I think I'll get the Precise 18650 or the Prodigy. I'll certainly get me a Buzz pro (waiting for it to show up at LF). And I hope they'll stock up on Dibley's passthroughs again.
At some point I'll try attys w carts as well.

A big thank you to you wonderful people on this forum - vets and fellow newbies both.

Congrats on your first month and making it through some learning curves! I'm also puffing on my eGo,
waiting for my Reos to get here.

Congratulations Arbogast

I can highly recommend the Garry Dibley passthroughs. When you get one, get your self a high powered mains USB hub & you'll get a 5v vape from it I use this hub with mine -

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for LF to stock up as I'm not allowed to import ecigs from outside the EU

Congratz! I didn't start with the ego, but I didn't end up quitting for good until I got one.

 

[rx7andrx7]

That's good

You're all so terribly, terribly nice.

Congrats, and plus one on the Prodigy. 6v on a 3ohm Boge carto with Boba's Bounty or Gorilla Juice = Heaven.

Those are shipped from the US, no? Unfortunately, the authorities here in Norway do not permit shipping ecigs / nicotine from outside the EU
On the other hand, the market seems to be growing by the minute here in Europe, so I'll probably manage

I started with a mall bought e cig...STUPID...lol. Then I researched some more and bought an ego-T... not bad. THEN...a friend introduced me to the REO, I have to get one of these. When you go 6v it's pretty amazing...the flavors seem to pop more and the vapor is insane...lol
