Hello. Just wanted to say hi. Im new to vaping. I started so i can quit smoking analogs. It worked out well. I havent had a cig in 2 months and hope to continue.

I Congratulate you quitting the coffin nails.....Welcome aboard, lots of great folks here at ECF......

Welcome to ECF and congrats!

What kind of setup do you have, what gear are you vaping on, and what kind of flavors are you enjoying?

Thanks everyone. I have a provari mini for work and when im out and about. I also have a ipv mini. I just got into mechs for rebuildables. I picked up a super t workhorse and a tugboat v2. I love it. I like desert flavors alot. Grandmaster from 5 pawns is a fave but its expensive. Im also currently vaping one thats called mvp from tasy clouds

Nice set-up! I love my Provari P3 and I'm waiting on an ipv mini 70W with a Kanger subtank mini. Looking forward to that one. Mech mods are beyond me at this point - I don't understand Ohm's law and all the other necessary things well enough to try rebuilding just yet. I just feel safer with the regulated mods. Maybe next year. Have you though about DIYing your own liquids? There are some good recipes for 5 Pawn clones out there, gotta be less expensive!

I've been vaping solidly for many months now, and I was a seriously heavy smoker for awhile. Once I found some decently strong flavors in heavy enough nic I was able to switch over...it was a transition, my lungs are sure clearing up nicely now. The wife still smokes and I don't even think about wanting one of her cigs. You've made a great step.

I have thought about diy. Still researching it though. I would definitely not mind trying to make the 5 pawns clones. How do u like ur provari p3?

Good for you, its great to not be smoking......

I wish millions of smokers knew there is an alternative to STOP smoking, most folks don't know this.

 

[Visualabstrakt]

I definitely agree with you scrappytaco. Since i started, i feel my lungs getting better by the day.

Man, you're rocking some great stuff in your vape collection for being new to vaping!

I haven't delved into the famed 5 pawns as of yet, but I vape like a hobo on the cheapest stuff I can find, heh.

 

[Visualabstrakt]

I hear you inspects. Im still new to it but i feel its way better for you than smoking. A lot of people are still skeptical about vaping. I hope more research is done on the effects of vaping. Cant be worse than cigarettes though.

 

[Visualabstrakt]

Thanks fattlestar. Im sure your selection will grow too. The whole vape thing has sorta become a hobby for me now so i forsee more mods to come lol.
