Welcome o the forum. I used the cigalikes to start with. I think they were 1.8% or 18mg? Once I got to where I was actually buying juice I got down to 6mg pretty quick. Now I drip and I usually use 3mg. I get my juice from Happy's but if you want to go DIY you might try Flavor Envy.

Try the vape shops around you and don't be intimidated when you walk in, there just going to ask you what flavors do you like and your going to have an awesome time vaping some good ejuice and hopefully they will educate you about nicotine ratios, honestly and sad to say but the amount of satisfaction from vapor production to nicotine level is going to change from a cheap clearomizer to a good cartomizer which amounts to more money or a better way to look at it is you get what you pay for.

Wohoo, my kit arrived at lunch time and I have been happily vaping away. The kit is foolproof, I was not too stupid to use a different technique and I do not crave any cigarettes. WOW. I do miss lighting up, flicking ash and moving in and out of the house as a behavioral pattern.

The Kanger Evod 2 BDC is working straight out of the box and idiot proof but I can see how refilling the little tank and charging the batteries throughout the day could end up bothering me. As stated at the beginning of the thread I do not mind spending money on a kit at all but I needed to find out if vaping was for me, before spending money on a kit, that would end in my cabinets.

An easy life is important to me, so I do not want to venture into dripping and coil building A kit like my current with power to last me all day and a tank that will last me all day would be just fine. If the tank would also allow me to try some juices with more VG, I would be sorted.

I shall keep you updated how I am sticking to it and I know that I will face my first big challenge tomorrow morning.

Habits & environmental triggers are no joke. They've done animal studies where they'll give them XXXXXX in a specific place over time, then when they bring them back to that place and don't give them XXXXXX their heart rates and such change as though the body is priming themselves for it. I'll spare you all the tips and just if you find yourself in any way discouraged or struggling with something, give a post and you'll get inundated with support and tips.

You should eventually consider a backup -- but the evod is one of the better economical tanks out there -- when you can get them for $5 as authentics, can be worth having a few with different flavors to keep things easy as well as the novelty. If you're enjoying it, there's no reason why you have to upgrade just because others have different stuff.

Just remember to be careful the eliquid in it is OK with plastic tanks. They should be fine with 60% PG and up, and many have no issues with 50/50 -- but you'll probably be happiest staying 60-80% PG. If you start using 50/50 and feel like you're getting a dry-hits or burning at the end of the vape, you can remove one of the flavor wicks from the coil.

It goes further than that if you look into Epigenetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Epigenetics simplified is learned behavior that is actually passed on through the generations! One topic I know more about than vaping
