My First week as a vapor

[Kreegz]

So, I'm about a week into vaping and I thought I'd share my journey to this point. Please forgive my grammar and spelling, I'm lazy and not an editor

So, a guy from works shows me his ego-c at work one day, i take a hit and get a buzz. Dude then gives me the rundown of the contraption and I spontaneously get online a buy one thinking.. This .... has got to be cheaper then smokes, how can it possibly be any worse then smoking cigarettes, right?

So my little device shows up. I won't get into gory "review" type mumbo jumbo. It was crap. It started ok, but then I got some crazy gross tastes, did some googling and end up learning a whole .... ton of info on ecigs. So, I spent the next day getting my shopping list ready and order some new hardware to test out and find something I liked.. I knew this vaping thing was going to be awesome.

So, I pick up an EV4 from Electro Vapor since they're all but local and wanted to give em a go, I also ordered a DCT for ....s and giggles. The DCT is pretty cool when I'm at my desk at home but I'm rocking the EV4 out and about.

I've been tobacco free for 4 days and I'm loving it, haven't had a single craving... I'm lying. I crave looking for new flavors, hardware and ways to vape.

So my journey continues, I've ordered a bridgeless atomizer and the EV-Torch as well as an ego twist. And a .... ton of juice. I'm planning on using the bridgless atomizer to taste test all these juices and find my "all day" vape(s). I'm intrigued by the idea of variable voltage so that might be cool. and the battery level indicator on the torch is just freaking awesome.

Anyway, I don't know if anyone is even going to make it this far down the post, so I shall stop rambinling

Dear Kreegz,
Glad you are enjoying! The exploration of new gear is so fun. I have an ego twist and it is great but I don't use it very often. Mostly I am hitting my Detonator box mod with DCT from mr. Eliquid. What juice are you liking so far?

 

[Kreegz]

So far, Strawberry and Blueberry have been my go to's I also throw in a tabbco blend (have some new ones on the way) for when I want that tabbaco type hit.

yeah, I couldn't resist the $30 or whatever for the twist before I even entertain the thought of a big assed provari or volcano etc.

Hi Kreegz! Glad to meet you and welcome to ECF. I enjoyed your story and kudos on being analog free for four days (hi five) this forum and members are amazing and you will find the help and answers to anything and everything concerning vaping. I'm still sort of a newbie myself. Sounds like its quickly becoming a hobby for you too. Finding new toys and trying new juices is a lot of fun but remember almost everything about vaping is subjective.. There's quite a bit of learning curve to find your perfect vape but sounds like you are on your way and you have found the right forum. Take advantage of all it has to offer keep and keep vaping!

Hi and Welcome to ECF!! Congrats and Good Luck!!

Welcome to ECF and your new hobby.

Finding that all day vape is not an easy task. 3 months in and I still haven't found mine. Also keep in mind that as you continue to vape and not smoke your tastes will change. So that flavor you hate today you might love in a month. And vise-versa. This due to the tastebuds repairing themselves from the damage smoking has caused. Also keep in mind that your sense of smell will improve so some things may start to bother you that never bothered you before. Or you might enjoy smells you used to hate.

Welcome to Vapping, and ECF !
I was a 'burro red' man for 40+ years, started vapping- and tried many 'banco' flavors, didn't like any of them.
Found I like 'coffee' in the morning then onto some fruit or butterscotch flavor after.

Just be happy that you can drop the ciggies, and Vape On !!!

Drink plenty of water !
Best to you !

Vaper: One who Vapes Vapor and loves Vaping from Personal Vaporizers.

First Week as a Vaper.

Unless you turned yourself into water vapor somehow



If it helps, just remember the smoking analogies:

Vape(Verb) = Smoke
Vaping(Verb) = Smoking

Vapor(Noun) = Smoke
Vaper(Noun) = Smoker

Darn it. I can't remember to type clearomizer instead of cartomizer and know I have to remember "e before r, except when it shouldn't be".

I am so happy for you; in seven days I am going to take your thread title, because these first four and a half hours have been great.
(of course i will try to use the correct noun spelling of vaper now that i know it's a thing)

How True !
DIY now, found I did not care for all those 'bacco' Flavors- so when a desperate new Vaper needed some a week ago- I sent him some of my cast offs. Perfect !
And the Flavors I ordered initially needed to steep...much better now.
I think they are making ejuice as fast as they can...most of it is very 'Fresh'.

Welcome to the world of clean living. Smokes are archaic.

 

[SutterCain]

Make sure to watch videos on YouTube by Grimm Green and Pbusardo. I owe these two guys a lot with what I've learned from them by watching their vids. Knowledge is power, and 10 watts of power is awesome!

Congrats on not smoking.

Getting new stuff and looking for the perfect flavor/vape is a lot of fun.

This place is really helpful for answering any questions and giving you great ideas and advice.

Not to step on this post but I need some help. My taste buds are gona whacko...

comments welcome


Now the worse part ..
I am just geting into vapping routine at 99.99% had one smoke yesterday good day but this
Now the chasing thing is driving me crazy... getting satisfied then trying to stay there is messed up..

… it seems I have to chase the urge and head it off at the path else it gets worse... Had a pretty good day yesterday but today things changed for the worst....

I felt great at one point then cant seem to find a vape session to hit the spot followed by anxiousness and the same feeling that I had to f go through the major detox in the last 24 days

why does it feel like I have to chase it then when I SHOULD have enough i feel bad again and anxious when I already think I found the right dose time and frequency to vape
sometimes it takes the whole hour to get there than its the next hour .. and I am going slow!!!

help me sort this out Bc sometimes I don't feel good and want to vape but feel im chasing this only to feel worse??
is this the beginning cycle??
anyone??
