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

Welcome to the board. You've certainly come to the right place to learn more about it. FWIW, it worked for me to get off the cigs.
Hello and welcome to the forums!!!! You definitely found the right place to learn more and hopefully even get you off those stinkies. Anyway, I am glad there are people still wanting to learn just to be able to understand their fellow friends.

I have a good feeling with your circle of friends you won't go wrong. It always makes me happy to think of people not wasting money on inferior, nasty, useless or rip-off products which (let's face it) is what most of the industry wants you to buy.
Blu - you know you want to!
Vaporfi, anybody?
Whitecloud.. gosh, they are good!?
I jest... but things are getting worse every day.
One day at a time. I went with dual use for 3 and a half months before I fully quit smoking. Keep up the good work. Remember, it is the ones you don't smoke that count.
welcome my friend.
If your friends are vaping and you are not, means that you could not taste a good liquid for you.
If you are looking for any disadvantages yes there are many for the big tobacco.
If you wanna find out what you can do for you this is the right place.
with right liquid and a passable device you can quit smoking in no time. even if you dont intend to.
I loved smoking I never intended to quit. But it was harming me after 40+ years of hand rolling. I had intended to use e-cigs to decrease the quantity but with my first inhale of the right liquid I saw the efficiency and never smoked one after that. There was no need to suffer when there is e-cigs which can completely substitude smoking. after a couple of days I hated the smell of others smoke. I noticed one day the smell of my cardigan I hated all the good memories we had shared with smoking. After 3 years what was smoking? Ah my late friend I loved most but in vain.
