New to Vaping

[brbeel]

Hello everybody,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I started vaping about 4 weeks ago and I am really enjoying it. I have cut down from a pack a day to about 8-10 smokes a day. I am still searching for that all day vape flavor. So far I have tried blueberry (pretty good) grape(meh) cherry(decent) and virginia menthol(yuck)all at about 12mg. I just ordered some waffle from Tasty Vapor as I have heard alot of great things about that one. Oh, by the way, I am using a Joye 510, but thinking about upgrading ta an EGO

Anybody have any tips on cutting down on the analogs?

Thanks for reading,
Brian

Welcome brbeel. Try to find a flavor you like and I would say since you are just starting out bump the nic a little. You may still be smoking (or have the craving) since 12mg/ml is pretty light. I am at 9-10mg/ml now but when I started I was at 28mg/ml.

If you want an entire EGO kit you can get one for $55 at LiteCigUSA. However, if you just want to get an EGO battery to use, you can just do that. Your 510 charger will charge an EGO battery - it will just take a lot longer... FYI.

I quit smoking analogs as soon as my e-cig came in the mail. I used 24 mg nicotine juice, which is what I still use 6 months later. I'll eventually cut that down but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to quit my pack a day habit with a much less nicotine than that. You might look getting some higher nic juice, you could even mix it with what you have so as not to waste it, if you have similar flavors.

One last note on why you may want an EGO battery to help cut analogs - low resistance atomizers. With the standard 510 you aren't supposed to use them as it is too much drain on a small battery like that....

The LR atty's have a much stronger hit- more satisfying...

 

[brbeel]

Wow, thanks for the quick replys!

I was thinking the same thing, that I could just buy the EGO batteries and a charger and still use the 510 atomizers on them. But now you've got me interested in the Low Resistance atties. After all, I think it is the throat hit that I crave.

The waffle liquid I ordered is 24mg plus a doubler so I could cut it down. When I got my 510, it came with some pre-filled carts with 18mg juice in them. I think I kinda vaped myself sick a little. Probably because vaping was so much fun. That's why I went to 12mg, cause it felt like I was hitting that thing all day long instead of every hour or two.

Which brings me to my next question:
Do you just hit your ecig whenever you feel like it, or do you treat it more like a real cigarette where you just take 10 drags or so and not use it for another hour or two?

Thanks for all the help,
Brian

I use mine pretty much non-stop throughout the day. Hit it a couple of times every 5 minutes or so. I was smoking a pack and a half a day and was completely off analogs in about a week. I started with 24mg juice because I was smoking Camels and they were fairly high on the nic content. Trying to get used to 18mg now

Welcome to ECF, Brian!

I tend to be a bit of a chain vaper, so unless I busy myself with work or doing things around the house I hit my eGo quite a bit. When I'm out running errands, I treat it more like a cigarette.

I started with the Ego and 16mg juices - have 1/2 a pack of cigs in the drawer since 24 hrs after I touched the Ego
I have ordered different juices, a couple of 18, a 26 and a few 30's to mix and match since I haven't quite hit the right combination yet... hang in there Brian! it gets easier and better... my ego might not ever leave my hand for a few hours, but much like WomanOfHeart, when I'm running errands its different...

 

[brbeel]

Thanks yall!

Now I can't wait to get my new ejuice 24mg. I hope I like the waffle cause I just ordered a whole bunch of it

What are your favorite flavors so far? Where do you order from?

Congrats! I'd definitely recommend upping your nic level a lil bit if you want to completely quit the analogs. I started at 16mg and quit cold turkey and OMG I was such a bi*** for a good 3-4 days, now I'm fine on the 16mg and the people I live with have resumed talking to me...lol j/k. I have a 510 too and my favorite juice is Green Mint (tastes like doublemint gum) from cignot. Their spearmint is okay, I hate the menthol. I have yet to try anything other than mint come to think of it so lemme know how the waffle one is!!

HAHA! you're funny! I really didn't like the menthol flavor either. I almost bought the mint chocolate chip from tasty Vapor, but went with the waffle because of all the great reviews. I'll definitely let you know how it tastes.

Thanks!

I carry different strength ejuices... here are some of my favorites:

FSUSA: hypnotic mist 24mg (can't explain the flavors, but it's really good), menthol ultra 36mg, strawberry banana 24mg
Johnson creek: Summer peach 18mg
Vaporbomb: Blueberry 24mg, strawberry waffle whipped cream 18mg
Backwood brew: applewood 24mg

 

[brbeel]

How is that Backwoods Brew juice? I was thinking of trying their menthol. My cig of choice is Marlboro Light Menthols.

 

[KissMint]

Yeap I'm Marl menthol light as well. I never tried BWB menthols. As far as other BWB juices , not sure, I just got them and letting it steep a lil. Have tested and they were somewhat light. I found FSUSA menthols, like it and already ordered 240ml more of it. If you order BWB menthols let me know how you like it. Would love to know.

BackwoodsBrew has a pretty big following - you can check out the e-juice reviews on here but I'm warning you now - don't be doing the reading with your CC in hand!

FSUSA got it in today but have french toast in the cart now, have to say cotton candy and a champagne has been my favs so far but I've got more to try out
