New here...

[Sevarin]

Hi everyone, I'm new as a user, but a long time quiet reader. I started vaping in April, 2012 and still going with it. Before I was a heavy smoker 1-2 packs a day and vaping made my life so much better. I would never go back.

I decided to participate in some of the discussions and maybe help out new vapers here and there. Since the forum requires 5 posts first, here's my first.

welcome to the forum. Glad to see you are never going back to cigs. congrats

 

[Sevarin]

Thank you. Yep, definitely not. I can't stand cigarette smoke at all anymore. I work as a Karaoke hosts and some of the bars I do allow smoking. I have to take my clothes off and jump in the shower as soon as I get home. Just nasty...

Sevarin,

Glad to hear (read) that you are an experienced vaper - I'm relatively new to this. I was a long time smoker (20+ years) and decided to quit this year. Lasted almost an entire month cold turkey, but all I could think about was that darn cigarette. My daughter took me down to a local vapor shop and helped me pick out a decent mod to help me. Started vaping and haven't looked back.

Best Regards,
F2V

Hello and Welcome Sevarin

 

[Sevarin]

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I appreciate it

@Susan~S : My daily vape equipment at the moment is A Sigelei 100W and the Kanger Subtank Mini (modded). Sometimes the Lemo 2. I just prefer the flavor on the Subtank Mini over the Lemo 2. Besides the Lemo 2 leaks sometimes, haven't put an effort into why that is, yet. I'm patiently awaiting my IPV4 black pre-order. But I'm in no rush, the Sigelei works just fine. And if I need TC, I use my Vaperflask. And no, I don't really have any important questions at the moment, just wanted to give my 2 cents on some threads here. But thank you for asking

@Freedom2Vape : Stick with it, it's so much better and I'm sure your family appreciates your effort

Forgot, I also try to convince as many friends as I possibly can to start vaping and give up smoking. Since I have so much stuff here, I usually give them a good deal on an older setup of mine. So far I got 4 people vaping and one of them already quit altogether. I just enjoy vaping so much, I don't see myself quitting, even if I hit the 0mg level. At the moment I'm at 6mg, I started out with 24mg.

Welcome to the forum!
Just curious, what do you mean by a "modded" sub-tank Mini? Are you using the RBA? What ohm build? I'm finding anything less than 1 ohm is way too hot for my taste.

I found a video on youtube by accident, that showed two little holes drilled into opposite sites in the RBA section. I tried it out with a really tiny hole first, then I opened it a little more and now it's perfect. Every time I take a hit, I get the full, fully saturated vape and flavor from it. Running it with a 26g 7 wrap 3.5 mm spaced coil (0.7 ohm) at 28 Watts and chain vape the tank empty without problem.

And no leaking either, the holes basically sit right in front of the cotton on the side of the RBA.

Here's the video, which probably explains it better:

Just another noob as well! Stoked to be here. I feel like if I try to get info from other vapers in person it's like I'm asking for their SS#! Hopeful to learn a lot!

Welcome!!

That's strange. All the vapors that I know are usually very helpful and friendly. Why wouldn't they?

 

[Joheartsclouds]

Good question!!! Luckily I have two pretty close friends that ended up teaching me quite a bit down the road, but it was a little intimidating initially.

Thanks, Sevarin. The family is pleased that I quit the analogs. My brother is concerned that I appear to vape a lot more than I smoked, but I'm not sure that is really accurate. I would frequently smoke 2-3 cigarettes each time I went out. So while it may appear that I vape more since I don't go outside as much, it works out to about the same - and I'm not getting all the garbage that the analogs had.
I was thinking about getting the Lemo 2, but decided that building the Squape R looked easier (and it is an easy build). I just wish that it was easier to tell how much juice you had left in the tank.
