New vaper here

[Conner85]

I've been trying to totally switch to vape from smoke for the past couple of weeks. 29 years old and have been smoking for 21 if that gives you any idea. vaping has been difficult to get adjusted to because I haven't been able to find the right combination of products/settings to suit my preference.

Started out with a Kangertech Evod and hated it. Went back to smoking for 6 months. Then a friend wanted to sell his rig to me cause he stopped smoking and vaping. Got a Kangertech Aerotank and a Cool Fire 1 mod along with some really nasty juice. Kept smoking and only vaped when I didn't have enough time to finish a full cigarette (on breaks at work, etc). Then came across a friend who showed me his iPV3 and Mutation X V2 and some different juices. I'm now down to maybe 1 cigarette a day and learning more and more about how I can fine tune to get what I want out of these mods/tanks.

I have to make 5 posts to be able to post elsewhere. So here's post #1.

Hi Conner and welcome to the forum. Congrats on taking the first step at quitting! Remember ....it's not how many analogs you still smoke, it's how many you don't!

Welcome, I find i fully stopped vaping when I went more towards building my own rta and rda. Blowing clouds and finding a good daily vape flavor kept me off the nastys

Thanks everyone. What are some good places to order supplies to make your own juice?

Welcome Conner85 and congratulations!

Welcome Connor85. Just be sure that your nic levels are high enough to suppress your desire to analog. You can wean yourself to lower levels over time.

Welcome Conner and congrats!!!! What nic level are you vaping at? I had to go up to 24 before the cravings subsided. I see you're looking into DIY, great way to experiment with nic level to get what works for you, and to have various levels on hand. Also to experiment with pg/vg ratio to see what works for you. I prefer around 70pg.
