Hey Everyone!

New to vaping and the forum. For the past few years I have been big on cigars and pipe tobacco, but now I am looking for something more convenient and without the nicotine. After a lot of googling and youtube videos I decided vaping looks like a hobby that I would definitely enjoy, and the community that goes along with it.

I placed and order which will be waiting for me at my house after work. I picked up the Kangertech Subbox Mini along with Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk and Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey. Those e-liquids had rave reviews and sounds as though my taste buds would give em the thumbs up too.

I've been trying to educate myself as much as I can, but the endless mods and builds people are doing are overwhelming and exciting. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself quickly to the forum, I look forward to being an active member on here. Take care all.

Hi @Delro and welcome to the forum. When you get home be certain to prime the coil wicks before use. On the factory coils put a drop or two in each wick hole in the side of the coil then fill tank and cover air holes and take a few UNpowered draws. I usually let it sit for a few minutes before applying the power. The mod may come set of full power so be certain to turn the power down before use. On new coils, when first applying power start lower than you would normally vape and take a draw. Then bump it up. There will be a break in time for the coil that usually lasts 5 or 6 draws. I like the Mothers Milk. I would suggest a trip to a local vape shop where you can sample the flavors and find out what you like. Since you are coming off tobacco your taste buds may be somewhat muted to start. I would expect your taste to change over the next month.

Don't be shy about asking any questions should you have any issues.

Enjoy the journey.

Hi @Delro. Welcome. newbie here also. I quit cigs after 2 days with my Kanger Tech Subox Mini. I purchased 2 Arctic tanks so I could switch up flavors through the day. As Sir2fyablyNutz said above, prime coils before using. Let sit a few and take in no-power draws to get coils saturated. I used the .5 Ohm coils to start with around 12-16 watts. Nice flavor there. Switch to the 1.5 Ohm coil 2 days ago and run it around 8 watts. Don't think I'll go back to the .5 coil soon. Flavor from 1.5 is very, very nice for me. I have around 8 .5 coils so I will switch back every now and them. Hope this helps and ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Hello and welcome. You have made a good purchase there. Start as you mean to go on. Sub ohming is not for everybody but it is for me, it's really for direct lung hit which is what I like . Any way enjoy yourself with your new purchase and don't forget to make sure that coil is well saturated before you fire it . Let it stand for 5 minutes soaking up the juice. Good luck.

Welcome. Vaping is a great alternative to analogs and a great hobby. There is a lot of equipment out there, and I'm sure a lot more yet to come. But it's not as intimidating as it may seem. There's a lot of good, knowledgable people here, and odds are anything you may be interested in, someone here has info on. Just ask. Someone always comes along to answer.
