New Vaper

[babysnakes]

Hi everyone.
Iv'e been a smoker for 42 years.
I'm now on day 16 of vaping... never going back!
Good luck to everyone else giving up the stinkies.

Well done, and welcome!

What kit and juice have you been using?

Did you quit tobacco straight away, or by 'dual use'?

 

[babysnakes]

Hi there. I've got an Innokin Coolfire IV Plus.
I started out on horrible 18mg tobacco flavoured stuff, but now i've switched to fruit flavours & using either 3 or 6mg strength ( made by a kind friend) I'll be buying some gear to mix my own come payday.

I actually chucked my rolling tobacco in the bin at work on the 10th of June when my mod turned up. Haven't looked back.

Good for you ! First time vaping, then ?

I tried a cheap eGo kit a number of years back. It leaked, i had no knowledge of what i was doing, i failed.
I did some research this time & all is going well.
I'm just a bit worried if i'm using it too much.
Lung hits all day long.

I vape all day at 20mg/ml and have for 4+ years, I tried to go lower, but, it was not for me. And I use about 10-15ml a day.I was cranky and tried to vape alot more. So, I figured at 20mg/ml I could at least go 1/2 hour or more with out vaping and be fine.
Best of luck to you, it is so much healthier!

Thanks mountaingal .
I've gone from 20-35 roll ups a day to this.
Coughing has stopped but my lungs hurt & i think i've burnt my tongue! LOL

Your lungs probably hurt more from giving up smoking than they do from vaping - "quitters' 'flu" - it's a thing....

There is no right or wrong amount in vaping. Well actually the right amount will keep the cravings away.
Vaping is not as efficient as smoke in absorption of Nico..

 

[Continuity]

Also, one tends to absorb more nicotine from the mouth and nasal passages, due to the aerosol particle size, than with tobacco smoke, so rolling the vapour around your mouth and nose can help not stress your lungs as much, especially when you're new to vaping and coming over from tobacco, and you're constantly hitting the vape machine like a fiend.

Many thanks for all the info everyone.

Hello again. I'm thinking about getting an Innokin Endura T22 to use at work. Any thoughts?
Also... is it worth getting an ultrasonic cleaner for my equipment?

If I may; an Ultrasonic cleaner has fairly limited uses.
Many moons ago, when anything arrived, I would got to the bother of getting it down from the shelf, filling it with warm water (sometimes a little w'up liquid) but really.... it's too much fuss.
Rinse out new tanks in warm water, sit them in a cup for 10 minutes etc.
Buy one for general use, but it's hardly worth it for e-cig equipment. It doesn't rejuvenate coils and certainly won't 'sonic' the crud off a blackened coil.

T22 is great. Shame about the draw on the tank. I remember the iClear30S (and the original iClear30) and it would be very rare for someone to not want to loosen that draw within a few weeks, new vaper or not. You could try it, but see it as a temporary tank. You could put another tank on the mod with more airflow options, of course. The 1.5ohm Cubis would produce the same 14 watt vape with a looser draw.
Both the "T" series Innokins must run at 4.6v (approx) which makes it a bit of an oddity.
