Hello and welcome to the forum @CyrilTAY. Glad to have you here!

Check out this forum: SG Vapers. Make sure you read all the "stickies" as there are special rules you must follow when posting (in the SG forum) due to the sensitivity of vaping in SG.

You won't be able to ask where to buy hardware/juice in SG (or share/post your sources) as your government monitors/reads ECF forum posts. It's all explained here => Newbies Q&A Thread. [PLEASE READ]

====

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

eLiquid/Juice

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome!
just a simple background of myself.
I've been smoking for close to 10years. On average 5-6 packs of 20s per week on Marlboro Lights.
Just started vaping for about 3 weeks and was able to cut down to 2packs a week due to the fact I'm not able to vape legally in public. Otherwise I'm sure I can completely survive without cigg.
Anyway, saw my fellow vaping friends cool and stylish mod and tank making me feel like upgrading already. Wondering what's recommended for such a newbie like me?

If you have a local source for mods/vape products, check out the Kanger Subox Mini Kit. <=video (watch as it shows how to rebuild the coils).

It includes a mod, tank, 2 factory coils and a RBA base should you wish to try making your own coils.

The kit does not come with an 18650 battery or charger. The mod required a 20A (or higher) cell (like the Samsung 25r). Those can be ordered/found locally (see below).
