New to E-cigs

[gasher1985]

So i have been browsing around for like 3 weeks and have been looking at random stuff. Got a njoy and found out it was complete crap. Read some more on here and decided that njoy was really crap and might as well check out the real stuff. So went from just buying 1 njoy to buying a halo triton starter kit.... Got to say im loving the cafe mocha 18mg. Got it yesterday and was like hmm ya taste like crap but today its like OMG i love it. Not vaping much i think from 2.4mL to 1.4mL (today in all). Idk if thats alot or not alot. Was smoking a pack of marb reds a day. After vaping the mocha im a tad worried about the other 3 flavors i got. Tribeca, torque 56, and a free southern classic. Im letting the other 3 i got "steep" aka age by having them sit open till im out of my mocha. From what i heard/watched on youtube torque taste better after its been open for a few days.

Only concern i have is after like one day im getting semi sore throat. Like i can tell something is wrong but its not all there yet. I had one normal cig today but after i had it i would rather go back to the triton which i did cause i like the taste of the triton.


Also one more small question.... When i drag on the triton i feel/hear small popping noises. It seems to happen no matter how fast or hard i suck.... Is that normal. FYI i stuck my tongue in front of it to see if any thing is shooting out of it like warm juice/liquid and i felt nothing.

A sore throat can happen if your nic level is too high, but since you were smoking reds that's probably not it.

Are you drinking lots of water? Vaping will dehydrate you, so always have water nearby. That might help.

Sore throat = getting used to vaping

Your body will be detoxing for about a week so expect some odd things to happen...but it will pass

Welcome and Vape On!!!

more diet pop than water

Not a lot of water i drink more soda im a semi-ex drinker (like a case of beer a day) and like something more sweet than water.

Vaping, alcohol and caffeine will all dehydrate you. Try drinking water instead for a day and see if you notice a difference.

I got a sore throat too on my 2nd/3rd day of serious vaping using a heavy VG mixture. After a few days of stubbornly and relentlessly powering through, it went away. ... The water thing is pretty serious too. I've usually been a water drinker, but I've had to really up my intake since vaping regularly.

It seems that I usually go through about 2ml a day or so.

Can you tell us what your vaping? PG/VG ratio, and nic level. Strong nic levels will hurt the throat. Also just gettting used to vaping might do it. If that don't do, we need to look at PG/VG. Some vapors here end up going 100% VG. Some like 50/50 etc.

Idk what what my pg/vg mix is(hope im using that right) all i know is i take slower longer hits off of it since i read something that there is a difference between smokes and ecigs. Have been trying to take like slow longer hits than what i would with a normal smoke. Funny thing is i still take my normal smoke breaks cause im kind of a introvert and the vape every where thing dont work got to be alone out side... Any way i had a tad to drink so im going to stop responding to this or i will go all night and it will get more confusing.... Either way i love the triton and it cut me down to like no cigs which is awsome i hope in a few in months i can take a run and not feel like im going to die after jogging just a block. Thats the reason i was looking into this cause after just what 15 years of norms i couldnt run more than a few block felt like i was breathing through a lead sac.

So im hoping this will help out with that in a few months to a year since once in my life i hope i can be in shape. (be 28 in November) Also i never noticed the damage till i took that small run.

Also havent had a buzz when i wake up. Which is not a big deal since i hated it any way

Even after a long while vaping I have to be watchful of my water intake. Make sure you drink a lot! I can tell now if I haven't drank enough if my lips start getting chapped. If it seems like I just can't hydrate enough I drink Gatoraid or something like it instead of water.
I had many different problems when I first started vaping. Almost what I called "the issue of the day". The detox process is different for everyone but if you stick with it it will pass soon enough.
Congratulations on your choice to live healthier!

vaping using ego, drink lots of water, quit for 13 days now,
still get urge once n a while, so I just vape , and the urge is gone.
I find if I vape just a couple of times , then put it down. the dryness is less.

Tingle in throat went away over night seems to be fine now. Still love the the coffee flav. Tried the tribeca flav today and must say i dont like it at all. Going to order a 30ml of the coffee stuff maybe a lower nic lvl cause i want to vape it all day but now im worried about other flavs i got. sothern classic and torque 56. Suprised was at bar tonight and some one had a strawberry and it really taste like strawberry. So ya idk need to order more but want more than coffee but idk any tips on good flavs since tribeca tasted kinda like crap dont want to taste other tabacco flavs
