Newbie have quit smoking have few questions

[Raccoon_Canada]

hi guys
i'm new to vaping and i actually like it, i have quit smoking and its amazing what you can smell i have bought a ego-c upgrade plus a mini nova style tank just so i can be cool hahaha, anyhow i find that useing the tank system that come with a kit i get better suck on it and a bit more flavor i guess, but i also like my aspire bdc ( mini nova )tank but its way too easy to suck on it too much airflow?

my questions i have for experience vapors are did i bought a good system? also are there better ecigs out there to get better vapor and a hit? sure i get the hit from this one but after a while i want to have more throught hit , i also use a high strenght ejuice from urbanvapor its 70% and 30% i think its a good juice, should i go out and buy new tank maybe to get more vapor and taste and a hit? or just stick with what i got? i was 2 packs a day smoker and now i chain vape ahahahaaha but i do love to smell people on a bus they smell like a astray and to think that i smelled like that anyhow, any better systems or stores that are located in Toronto, Canada are appreciated to know where to buy the best. and should i know anything else to achive the best experience from vaping, i have read how to properly smoke e-cig i wait 2-3 secounds and then i suck on it slowly. but i want more throught hit and more vapor so please guide me thank you i have attached a photo of my e-cig with a aspire tank.

There are always going to better items out there. To get more vapor it's the amount of vg. To have a better hit it's the amount of pg. So maybe a 50/50 blend or you can start DIY to experiment what works for you.

Thank you for the info i will look into the %, so its mainly matters what ejuice is used right? not the hardware?

Hi

It's both actually.

As already suggested liquids with higher PG give you more throat hit - some times too much and it can feel harsh. Liquids high in VG give more vapor - at the expense of throat hit. You adjust that PG/VG ratio in either direction depending on how you want the vapor to "feel".

The one thing you are missing out on with the eGo C battery is it's not variable voltage. If that is your only battery right now you will need at least one more anyway. If you get an eGo Twist that gives you the flexibility to change the voltage to fit the resistance of your device on the battery. And as you can discover with variable voltage, even a small change in the voltage - up or down - can make a big difference in the taste of a liquid. Different flavor components in liquids work better at different voltage (heat).

Also, an eGo Twist uses the same charger you are already using for your eGo C battery.

Hope this helps some!

many factors come into play, the biggest one is your own personal preference. whatever keeps you off the analogs is the right device / e-liquid for you.
if you want more vapor production, using e-liquid with a high VG (%80-%90+) content will do it. VG is what makes the visible vapor. but some devices will not run high VG e-liquid because it is thick and will not flow / wick well. and you will get dry / burnt hits.
i find dripping attys work best for %90+ VG e-liquid. with something like and EVOD (bottom coil style) might handle %80 VG. something like the vivi nova will handle like %50 or %60 VG.

if you want more throat hit using a high PG e-liquid will help. PG is very thin and flows well. so just about any device will run high PG content e-liquid.

Watts: the Watt is a unit of power, Volts x Amps = Watts. the more watts you have the more power your device is using. this is impotent because if your under powering your atty you wont have a decent vape from it.

Airflow: 2 things keep the coil cool, e-liquid and airflow. (i already talked about e-liquid above). if the cool gets to hot you will get a nasty burnt flavor. so by increasing airflow over the coil you can keep it cooler for a longer period of time (given the power level and e-liquid stay the same). now because you running more air over the coil keeping it cool you can increase the amount of power (Watts) and thus make more vapor.

There are many variables, one being the hardware and one being the VG/PG ratio in the juice.

You have not mentioned what concentration of nicotine you are using. Suppliers differ as to what they call high strength. The numbers are more important than vague labels. It will be described either as mg/ml or %. A medium strength juice would usually be 18mg/ml or 1.8%, but certainly the B&M around me describes that as high strength. Several people on here have said they needed to start on 24mg/ml or higher for a while after they quit.

The more power you put through the atomiser, the more vapour it can produce, (wicking and airflow allowing), so certainly hardware will have an effect. You could try a low resistance coil, which will give you more vapour, but it will degrade the flavour a little. (On the other hand, you may like the effect.)

thank you i will definitely look into that as well tomorrow shopping time

thank you i'm using 18mg nicotine and since i was 2 packs a day guy, i just fire the sucker and puff as much as i can till my brain tells me ok you got satisfied so far so good and i am definitely want to upgrade just fell in love with the toy and feeling my longs actually getting better its even better for me

Everybody has to figure out the nicotine level question for themselves. There seems to be a pretty wide range of how much nicotine different people absorb from vaping, so there are no hard rules we can give people new to vaping. On the one extreme, as long as you aren't getting symptoms of nicotine overdose - things like palpitations, restlessness or a nervous feeling, headaches - you aren't overdoing it. But if you are having bad fits of cravings you may want to pick up a next higher nic level to see if that helps.

When I started it was pretty hardcore quit smoking withdrawal for me the first two weeks. Beyond that I had cravings for a long time. During my first four months I used two different nic levels, heading for the higher nic stuff for craving fits. For me, that was first thing in the morning, and those couple hours before bed. It's just something to consider. You can change up the nic level as needed during the day.

Best of luck with all of it! Vaping is the only thing that ever got me completely quit from a 30 year 2 PAD habit. It can be done!
