Hi!! I'm a new member from Texas and my name is Cat.

I have attempted E cigarettes MANY times and FAILED miserably and HATED every one of them. My first expensive waste of moey was green smoke. I couldn't tolerate them, made me cough, horrible heartburn every day. Went back to analogs for a year.

Next up was NJoy. Same thing. Coughing, heartburn, headaches. Back to Analogs.

Last week someone was at my house with a funny device I had never seen before. A metal tube with a clear tank on top with brown liquid in it. He said it was an e-cigarette and he had been off of cigarettes for six months due to it. I was intrigued. He said he got his from Vapor Shark and it was the Glass model. I went online that very night and ordered one.

It arrived two days later. I assembled it, poured in the 18mg menthol liquid and fired it up.

Instant disappointment. I coughed my head off, it burned my throat and within 20 minutes the heartburn was back. So I fired up the analogs again and considered sending it back.

I decided to get on Google and that's how I found this place. It seems that the issue I am having is with the PG in the liquid. So, I found a local vapor shop, took my setup in and got some VG based liquid. Instant heaven. No coughing, no heartburn, nothing but pure clouds of vapor heaven. They were very helpful there and I even picked up an extra tank and some extra atomizers.

The vapor shark glass is fine for now, but i do wish I had researched more. I would have actually saved a lot of money probably.

I do know that later down the road I am going to want that Provari. It is just TOO PRETTY. :) And my next juice order is going to Velvet Cloud Vapors. (Has anyone here used them? What did you think?)

I hope to learn a LOT here!!!

Thanks for having me!!
Cat

Wecome to ecf Cat. Glad you found us. And give thanks to your friend for helping you out also. So many would be vapers are too often turned off by those cig-a-likes. For even the moderate smoker they just don't work well enough to actually get the job done.

there is a lot to learn with the ecigs, so read and read more. LOL
Be sure to increase your liquid intake as vaping tends to dry out your mouth, nose, and throat...

Good luck
:)

welcome to ECF!

I'm glad you didn't totally give up. Some people do have reactions to PG and that's why some vendors will sell VG only based juice. Very happy to hear you found what was causing your reaction.

And very much agree with S & S on fluids such as water. It'll help a lot!!

Provari? Cannot go wrong with one. Ask anyone here, they are fantastic VV devices and come in lots of colors. The Provari is an American made device with awesome support!

Another Cat from Texas, excellent!! I'm glad you hung in there and did the research and came up with a solution. I had pretty much the same problem, but got some VG juice and that did the trick till my lungs adapted. You should notice improvement in just about everything every day now, hold the course!!

I work not far from you Cat, in Huntsville, and have worked in Willis in the past. I could probably get you a leg up on what may or may not work for you if you wanted to try out things like Protanks, RBAs, mechs and VV/VW locally as I have a small collection, as well as show you where locally to get some ingredients for DIY ejuice

Welcome to ECF and congrats!! It's difficult starting out and finding what's going to work for you. I'm glad you're sticking with it after the bad start. Definitely can't go wrong with a ProVari. Worth every penny. Haven't tried Velvet Cloud Vapors since I'm not into 100%VG juice but I have seem comments that it's good. Not every flavor from a vendor might not be to your liking and reviews of flavors are very subjective so it's best to try the samplers even though they might be more expensive. It's a bummer to end up with a 30ml bottle that you don't like.
 
Hi Cat and welcome!! My friend is having the same problem as you did when she vapes. Coughing etc....next time I get juice I'll get it with more VG and see if that will work for her. I haven't tried any juices from Velvet Cloud Vapor so let us know how they are. My top two picks thus far are Alien Ejuice and Hoosier E-cig. I do however have some goodies coming from Halo and dfwvapor. Pretty soon I'm going to have to invest in a Snap-On tool box to store my juices and e-cig paraphernalia. Provari is up next on my wish list too!! The "Zombie" mini!! Woot! Woot!
