I purchased an ego AIO and the sales clerk recommend I start with 16mg. I do not know anyone who quit smoking with the help of vaping. I tried to do some research on line, but all I found was data over load. This led me to go into a local vaping store and ask for their recommendation. I hope I have not purchased an inferior product. I also believe part of my problem is not knowing the correct way to vape in order to obtain the most satisfying results. Also, the 2 flavors of juice I purchased were flavors of food and candy which I like and enjoy, but both tasted very artificial and had a lingering after taste. I finally hooked up with a relative who quit smoking by vaping. They suggested I try a stronger nicotine content, and try caramel cappuccino flavor. I really enjoy the flavor, but am not certain I am vaping correctly in order to get the most from the nicotine. I am just drawing in and almost instantly exhaling the vapor. From what I am reading from all your posts, I don't believe I am vaping correctly. Thanks for all the feedback on my first post, your input really helped me a lot!!! Now can all of you successful vaping experts talk me through this issue?

I agree with @zoiDman in that there is not any real right or wrong way as long as it works for you. I vape mouth to lung and I inhale and exhale rather quick. From what I understand most of the nicotine is absorbed in the mouth/cheeks anyways.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I did successfully manage to quit smoking 3 years ago by vaping. I inhaled my smokes for 42 years, but I rarely inhale vapor to my lungs. Maybe I inhale once in a blue moon...when friends want to laugh at my tiny clouds compared to their monsters! (They subohm vape, use about 80%VG in their eliquids, and vape at much higher wattage, too.)

I regularly vape by pulling the vapor in no further than about 3-4" down the back of my throat, if that. I hold it for just a second or 2, then exhale through my nose and/or my mouth. I've had no problem getting my "nic fix" that way at all for 3+ years, and that's even with 6mg and 7mg eliquids I make!

Maybe you can try that way? It takes a little practice to not pull it into your lungs, but there are quite a few of us on here who vape like that all the time.

There's a lot of good info here from a lot of good people. I just want to say one thing: don't give up! It's difficult at first, but with willpower and help from places like this, it not only gets easier, it can get quite fun.

I have a special place in my heart for the Ego AOI, it was the device that got me to quit smoking and it's affordable enough that I gift it to any of my friends that show an interest in vaping. Hope it works out well for you too.

Hello everyone. Today is my first day of using my new ecig. I have COPD and have had pnemonia 2 times since October. I really want this vaping adventure to work. I have a question, it seems no matter how many times I hit the ecig I still have an overwhelming desire for a real cigarette. How soon before this crippling desire dissipates?

Thanks for all your help!!!

Welcome, I don't know the answers but best of luck to you!

I have a question. Since u like the ego AIO u will be able to help me. Why when I take a hit or vape, not sure of correct terminology, is my ecig popping and cracking? Am I doing something wrong? Is it supposed to do this?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Sometimes juice sizzles and pops. Not a problem unless it's spitting back out the mouthpiece.
