New member from South Africa

[Seanl]

Hi,

Started vaping almost exactly a week ago and in my searches for liquids, more info, and accessories I have come across this forum numerous times.

As it seems to be the only forum on topic with a South African section I thought it would be a good place to join and ask any and all questions I may have

Awesome place

Hi Seanl - I've been vaping about a week too ...... I'm still looking for good juice.

 

[BluSwatch]

Hey Washvap ..... just noticed your avitar .... DUH!
Are you up by Seattle? I'm down by Bremerton .....

 

[washvap]

Hey, how's it going BluSwatch! Yeah, I'm in Seattle. It's great to see more and more Washingtonians in here. Especially ones near my hometown.

How do you like vaping so far? See that your still looking for a good juice. Have you found what flavor you like yet?

 

[BluSwatch]

I'm having a hard time finding a juice I like - I started with a Blu, and liked them but the nic was too high ..... so then I bought 0mg nic juice ..... now I'm waiting on more juice that is "neither too hot, or too cold" .....
I'm doing ok, but sort of wishing I had all the right stuff .... oh, and I just pulled the tube off my clearomizer.

Balth - I have about 30 sample bottles coming from a few different places, but I think my maillady keeled over ..... probably ate too much turkey ....

Thanks and will do, However I do not want to post spam or nonsensical stuff (and would like to keep my questions and all that for the right threads )

Looks like a great forum and searches through it have already answered many of my questions.

Hi Seanl - I've been vaping about a week too ...... I'm still looking for good juice.

I smoked about 3 to 4 packs a day of Peter Styvesant red before I started vaping so I got several 36mg/l Heaven gifts in various flavours and a 30ml bottle of 36mg/l flavourless along with my first ecig. Been mixing and matching since. Working well and have found some nice combos

In a week I have already taken 2 atomisers apart and nearly killed a 3'rd following instructions off the net on cleaning so don't feel bad

 

[washvap]

No problem and yeah, this is the best e-cig forum that I've seen IMO. As long as you welcome other others or respond to posts in your thread. Then there's no way that's considered spam. You only have 3 more posts left. Anyways, lurking and skimming threads is a great way to learn. Although, don't hesitate to ask questions as well.

I'll definitely take a look at the thread, thanks I am hoping to find a few more local suppliers though but seems I'll be importing before to long due to local pricing and the limit on flavours available here.

That sucks but, the good thing is that you can put it back on there with no issue. Some people take the tubing off to clean theirs. But, I don't want to thread jack.

So, I'm just going to leave it at that. If you want suggestions. Feel free to make a thread here:

Yep, just hit number 5 must say, geat way to keep spammers at bay!

It just so happens I watched a vid today on modding your clearomizer, and they showed how to take the tube off (for them - on purpose) so it's all good. I feel more comfortable now maybe cleaning my clearos in the future ..... the tube came off surprisingly easy.

Seanl - do you drip? I have yet to try that ....

Yes, I drip, also tried a cartomiser but not sure if I like them all that much.

I also tried de-bridging and removing the wick but must say I prefer the atomisers the way they are.

Using an Ego-T (with 650 and 900 mAh batteries), tried 2 different atomiser types as well as a cartomizer thus far.

Next I would like to try a clearomizer but have to import so will wait till Jan.

Definitely, you'd be surprised on the amount of spam that comes into this forum trying to sell things. You only have an hour to go now before you can post in the SA forum.

Sounds good man. You'll be making them last a LOT longer that way.

Seanl - I haven't tried dripping, but have some attys coming to start ..... I'm tired of having to fill cartomizers to try juices that are not so tasty. (I have gone thru alot of cartomizers) Folks say dripping is an easy way to test new juices .....
I also have a mod coming that has top and bottom feed so I have to learn what those are .....
