New to E-cig

[TheBoom]

I dislike analog smell! But cause im a non-smoker. Always easy to tell if my bf smoked cause of the cigarette smell at his fingers. He cant lie. Lol.

Im pretty set on getting the eRoll i think. Though have to find some safe way to get it somehow. But would like to ask about the e-liquid. Is it different brand got different taste? What brand is good? And how do i know wat nic content to get for my bf? Any way to calculate or smth?

depends on what quality ur looking for. not so much about brand but where its from. china, bolehland are so so while cheap whereas US juices are much better at a higher price.


for nic level its best to start a little high if he is a heavy smoker, maybe around 18-24 mg and see how it is for him. once he gets used to it then he should know roughly what is good for him. best to also get something lower like 12 mg also so you can dilute the high nic juice if you want to.

unfortunately there is no way to calculate, but the nic absorption from vaping is significantly lesser then smoking. it takes a while to get into the bloodstream. hence the higher nic level required depending on ur smoking habits.

there are plenty of articles on this, you can google or browse ecf to learn more.

I kinda read through some posts on ecf, roughly got an idea just not too sure cause i got no idea wat is the content of nic in his current cig. He smokes marlboro white menthol, around 5 sticks a day. I was thinking of getting maybe 12mg nic for him for a start? Will that be too much or too little?

12mg would be around the same nicotine level as the brands that are more regularly smoked (marlboros/wintons/next etc). Perhaps get a 12mg and a 9mg?

5 sticks a day? not so sure about white menthol but im guessin those are menthol lights. in that case 12 mg should be ok but i suggest getting one with 18mg just in case.

different people have different needs. i know of people who smoked a pack a day of reds but vape 9 mg and also of people who smoked a pack of lights a week and now vape 24mg.

no offense, but you can't really do such a comparison. the amount of nic in smoke and vapour is quite different. on top of that absorption of that nic is also different.

not promoting ciggs, but just a fact - it takes only 8 seconds for the nic to get to your brain from smoke. and you only absorb a total of about 1 mg from one stick.

for vaping, there hasnt really been any proper research done, but it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to longer. and some studies say u only absorb about 10% of the nic from the vapour.

but i have to say, with my genesis atties its significantly faster and greater. its something you can really feel a difference in.

I find that with rebuildable,low ohm,high voltage.It hits you really fast.

Yeah 5 sticks a day. Typo.=x and yepps those used to be called menthol lights. No idea why the name change... 12 and 18mg sounds fine. Can mix to get 15 too. Haha. Thanks!

Imagine one day a pack. Make it 300 a month. 1year 3600.. Spend 2K. Give yourself 1.6K bonus Ang bao. Hahahaha still okay la.

exactly, it is still cheaper than smoking...

For the op, 5 sticks a day is still minor, you can get him to quit totally, just by using a basic setup like the ego. I used to smoke 25 sticks a day.

Im certainly hoping that he can quit totally with the e-cig! Get off those analogs first then cut down on the nic gradually. Hoping to get him started soon once i can get hold of the eRoll and the juice.

Yes bro

 

[Roadrunner]

1.8 ohm can hit max how much voltage ?

Up to 20 watts. Depending on how hot you like your vape.

it doesnt have burn smell if i set it too high?

Depends on your wick. If u use a mesh wick and it wicks fast enough, no issues. Silica wicks can't wick that fast I think.

OOOOOHH OKAY.. noted now.. gonna play with mesh 1 fine day... lol
