Hey now~

This is my first post here at ECF and I'm looking to make the switch as successfully as I can (as a noob). I called a local place and they sell essence, blu and Envy brands. However, being in Canada, the cartridges are nicotine-free. I'm looking to get access to the canadian threads to get that PM about nic suppliers, so here's my first post. I'll surf these forums more on the three brands and hope to get feedback in the meantime. I'm a light smoker and am a "buy off the shelf" kind of person with no interest in diy stuff or getting fancy. Looking forward to finding out more information.

Cheers!

Hi and welcome to ECF!

Welcome Rttch! You've certainly come to the right place.

Welcome Rttch! Consider a 3.7V mod with a LR carto. Good vaping and will keep one hand warm in arctic winter.

 

[Rttch]

Thank you for the speedy responses. I've already found out some information on two of the brands that I have immediate access to in Canada.

@yzer

Just making sure I understand your recommendation. The 3.7V mod is the battery and LR cartomizer is meant to be Light Resistant which is between 4.02 and 7.81 ohm's? And that mix is to provide the right "fix" for a light smoker and also to keep the battery safe with the right carto?

 

[cactusgirl]

I'm not yzer but low resistance is usually 1.5 - 2.0ish ohms...the lower the resistance, the higher the resulting wattage.

people here are amazing ....welcome to ecf

Just wanted to add that with lower resistance atomizers and cartomizers should not be used with batteries that are below 400 mah rating ~ ideally you'd want 650mahs and higher simply because the lower resistances draw more power from your battery and would deplete the charge quicker.

[lunabella]

Welcome to ECF, rttch and hugrem! You'll find all the info and advice you need around this forum. All the info can be overwhelming at first, but my advice would be to try to go with a simple set up when you're starting out.

Cheers!

Hey rttch! Hows things up in Edmondchuk? I haven't been there in many years. I worked briefly in Whitecourt and used to drive down the the smoke and noise and hit the bar on most weekends. Most folks don't realise that Ed is a fun place, especially in winter! I am wondering if there is a minimum temp to vape in? lol

Cheers and good luck!

Edmonton is incredibly warm right now. Last year at this time we had snow banks over 6 feet tall and temperatures at the -40 degree range. Having an e-cig that can handle those temps is always a plus, although I'm not sure if anything can exist that long in temperatures that cold. Even just going from the house to the car, breathing causes the eyelashes to turn white, so puffing out extra vapor could be interesting.

I was guessing at the LR carto suggestion because I have no idea what it meant. Nothing like that was explained on the sites of the three companies that I mentioned in my first post. I am hoping that any starter kit that I get for a light smoker will have the specs that yzer suggested. And yes lunabella, a simple setup is all I want!

Welcome all from another Canadian! May I sugges something like a 510 or 808 type kit? May be just what you're looking for and fairly fiddle free. I ended up with a slightly larger setup as my first go at it. eGo batteries and atomizers, but have settled in with the eGo batts and cartomizers. Good luck! Once you get the pm, you'll see how much there is available in Canada! May also want to browse the Canada forum to see what's going on over here!
