Hey all, a few days ago got myself set up with an eleaf istick 40w with an aspire nautilus mini tank. So far it's going ok I was previously smoking 2- 2.5 packs of Marlboros a day and finally felt it was time to do something about it. I'm 28 and started smoking when I was 9 (young I know) I was getting to the point where I was coughing all the time starting to wheeze and was getting really out of breath. So far I've cut back tremendously from over 2ppd to around half a pack witch is great for me. I'm just looking to get more into vaping as I keep cutting out cigarettes. Any help and advice would be great!

Hi and welcome! Your doing awesome!!! Congrats! You'll find that the cigarettes will drop off in time. Many of us were duel users for a while before quitting altogether. Tons of information here for you to ponder and many helpful people who will guide you with any questions you may have. Your starting out with a great setup. 
If you find you need more there are upgrades that you can make when your ready.

20 months ago I was smoking 25 cigarettes a day. When I started vaping my daily cigarettes went down by 80% almost immediately. It sounds like you're having a similar experience. I was a dual user for six weeks and then something came up and I happened to be out of cigarettes and that was the end of it. I started with a nautilus Mini the same as you. Right now it's more important that you learn how to vape than worry about your smoking. If you don't stop vaping eventually you will stop smoking. I smoked for a lot more years than you did.
Eventually you can be imune to relapse. I've smoked a couple cigarettes since I quit. They tasted terrible and I didn't want another one.
Welcome and glad you joined. The Istick 40TC is a classic. Can use this battery with most any non sub ohm set up. Good choice.

Welcome and congratulations! I also started smoking as a teenager and was smoking four packs of Marlboro Reds a day when I converted to vaping almost six months ago. As someone told me early on, its not the cigs you smoke, its the ones you don't smoke. It is a decision you will never regret.
Damn, what a story. Did you smoke them two at a time? Hang on to all that money you're saving just in case you live longer.
Nah, but I pretty much chained all day long! I've only had six cigarettes since January 4th, and I'm using Nicotine 18-24%.
How many ml per day? I smoke one once in a great while always to prove to a smoker that I'm relapse proof. As we all know, control is better than quitting.
I go through about two 10 ml. (2 bottles) a day. Every once in a very long while I'll smoke a cigarette, but they just don't appeal to me anymore.
Thanks! The vape shop I went to the guy said this was a good set up too go with and was right about the mouth to lung hit. I am wanting a bit more vapor though and I ordered a few more juices online that should be here this week and I can't wait for them to get here. I've deff got a lot to learn cause I'm sure I'll def want to upgrade in the futureHi and welcome! Your doing awesome!!! Congrats! You'll find that the cigarettes will drop off in time.

I'm vaping with tc40 with a .34 ohm coil, is that not subohming?..
So you've gone from 50 to 10 cigs per day in just a few days. Pretty good results IMO. You'll find those trigger points (first thing in the morning, after meals). Once you can vape thru those times, you will have it whipped. Congrats.
yeah, that was the exact same age I started smoking
..... I only wished I was 28 again though lol ... My smoking habit lasted for 40 years and so I am glad you are deciding to quit far sooner than I did... Welcome aboard!Yea from around 40-50 a day to around 10-20 a day.yeah, that was the exact same age I started smoking
Welcome - you are doing well - just take one day at a time and learn to get the most enjoyment out of the kit which you have ( which is actually pretty good - some folk don't feel the need to go beyond your combo ) - and BTW should you ever decide to sub ohm with your 40w iStick you can - the GS Air tank was designed to run with an iStick which takes 0.75 ohm coils; I use just that as my outdoor set up daily.
Welcome aboard @Mark Ragonese !
Congrats on cutting yourself free of the cancer sticks. I've been free well over two years now. (I still feel like a noob - I actually tried cigalikes back in 2010, but it took until 2014 for my doltish head to come to grips and finally quit.)

You're vaping 20 ml a day of 24mg at 40watts?? Wow. Makes my throat raw just thinking about it.
