Hello everyone
I'm a new member and I just started vaping, to help me quit smoking. I've been a smoker for 20years now and quitting has been a difficult experience for me. I've quit so many times but never more than 6months!
I would like the vaping community know that my transition to vaping has been smooth and without any problems at all. This is the best decision I made.
I've reduced 25mil (at the most it could be 30mil) down to a 18mil and now I'm vaping 3mil, within 1week!
I'm having to hydrate more, though. Which is okay, considering my regular levels, for the last 20years but I'm absorbing proteins and carbs more easily and my sh***ing! Is more consistent, lmao!
I'm also working out at the gym to improve my fitness.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank the vaping community and those who are involved, for keeping this concept thriving and fighting against all those who oppose vaping you have my respect!
But mostly, Guys and gals...
I chose to join this forum because I want to make friends and be an encouragement to others. I believe there is going to be a great new journey ahead of me.

Thank you, Oliver... And the Ecf team for accepting me.

Welcome. I smoked for over 40 years. Haven't had an analog in about 3 years. I tried sooo many devices to find the right one for me. I started out with a 1.5 ohm dual coil and 24MG nic. Now I sub ohm at .5 ohm and 6mg nicotine. Use more juice so the folks here have helped me out learning to mix. . Now I spend a couple bucks a week. 30 ml costs about $1.50 to make. This forum is great.

That's great! Well done. Quitting is really hard. Well it's great to hear from you. I was a bit reluctant to go straight to a mod, cos I didn't know if I could cope with mic sickness, but yeah I bought a tecc e- electron L. It's ok. I was on 18mil strength, it blows my head off! Lol. So I'm messing around with the wattage, between 7-9w. It has 5-10watt control. I'll be switching to 3mil blueberry tonight, see how it goes. I want to get a eleaf istick 100w. since it cost a lot less than most 100w. I'll also be subscribing to the zamplebox coz, why not.
Thanks for your response, Harley Bob

Fastech has great prices and I have bought there for years. Bought Kanger tanks, 3 Eleaf mods and my Nebox. Coils are cheap too. I do rba now, but still get 100 coils premade for $5.00. But free shipping from China can be 2 weeks. Otherwise I found decent prices on Eleaf at Freedom Smokes. Remember, most of the devices are coming from China anyway. Just my opinion.

I don't get it, when people talk about products from China. On a lot of things. Like tattoo machines and survival knives. " oh they're knock offs, cheap Chinese stuff!" You must have heard them before.
But vaping, it seems to be a different story.

Hey foggy road, what's happening, I've gotten more confident with the support I'm getting.

Just be cautious of all the *this new RDA will blow your mind* and/or the *this new 2500 watt mod is a world changer* stuff.

Avoid debtors prison! Just vape. Invest in a DIY juice kit and WIN you're new Mods from the giveaways here. I've scored four just since joining last June!

On the China thing, I won't buy juice or chemicals. I wouldn't buy anything to consume. On vape equipment if they are clones they have still performed well. I just bought an Eleaf Pico 75watt mod that was in stock there for $26.00 while it is still a preorder in the U.S. for $69.95.They noted that the Eleaf security stickers were removed to allow them to sell it below U.S. price. I think they make them for a company and take some and bootleg them on the side. On Kanger items you can go to Kanger site and enter the code on the box to confirm authenticity. Mine have always checked out ok. Evod batteries always lasted for years at rated voltage and mah. China can take anything and reverse engineer it. Who really knows? Just Google and make your own decision. Might be a topic to put on the forum for other opinions. Good luck

Lol! I remember when a MADE IN JAPAN label was interpreted as THIS IS JUNK. Look what they've done for electronics and cars. I have no qualms about where anything comes from as long as it does what I bought it for.
