Long story short. Pretty much everyone around me smokes including my gf. I always had the urge to just pick up smoking again but I didnt want to. The other part of the reason is I wanted my gf to give up smoking as well. She has been putting it off so far so a friend of mine then suggested I try very low nic vaping or 0 nic. I know it might be hard to understand why I took up vaping. I realized I vape more than when I was smoking. You profile says you're located in Bangkok?
I get this! I stopped smoking (again!) And bought my vape about 40days in. Went straight to the nic-free liquid cause both times I have quit smoking I have felt the same way, not too much of a nicotine craving (average was 20-25 a day) but craved the sensation of smoking (especially the with coffee/beer smoke[emoji14]). I was purely drawn in by the idea of awesome flavours, being able to still smoke but no nicotine, saving cash!!! and the modding/hobbyist scene, it just really interested me. Like you I just won't let myself give in and this wasn't giving in, this was kind of more like picking up a hobby? [emoji4]

That is exactly how I feel right now. I havnt really found a way to stop the craving until vaping but I managed to stop smoking. I havnt quite figured out if I'm drawn to the nic or the sensation of smoking yet. I need to try 0 nic to find out.

I havnt really seen a lot of vapers as it's illegal to be imported/sold here but no laws against using them (as far as I know). The fact that it's illegal here it makes it quite hard to find parts. I am thinking of trying the RBA soon.

The ohm readers may be off.

If you have a friend who vapes put your tank on his or her mod and check the resistance.

Both of them though? All the old OCC coils read correct on both mods, it's just those NI and SS that were way off.

As much as I don't like taking my at home gear out of the house, I'll take it to the this vape shop where I used to live and have them check it in some of their readers and mods. While I'm at it, I'll bring the RBA too so he can show me some builds and pick up some of my favorite Certified 365 juice i haven't had in ages. It's about time I finally get to this anyhow.

I think I just found out I vaped too much b4 I go to sleep.

For my ni coild I get 0.19 to 0.20 ohms

Well, that's a closer reading than mine. Thanks for the confirming!

Yeah, what you described in your first post sounded "oh too" familiar to me man. Just remember that after a week or two, your body will develop a tolerance. I remember at the very beginning right after I got my subox mini kit, 12mg was so strong for me with just a 0.5 ohm coil It reminded me of the time when I drank 3 cups of coffee before going to work along with washing that down with a 24oz Monster Energy Drink!! I kid you not! By the time I drove into our parking, I was too wired, jittery and uncomfortable I didn't want to even walk in there.

Now, a few months later 3 to 6mg is perfect for me! Everyone's experience is different though, this was just mine.:cool:
