newbie here (just got my ego C last night)

[winx19]

hello to all,

just wanna share my exp here in ecf and my 1st taste of vaping.

the pple here are fantastic, sharing their knowledge and offering advice. i thank all who have given me their advice and suggestion.

my 1st taste of it, was pretty normal, nothing spectacular. As i am a menthol analog user previously, so the lack of menthol was the only obvious thing (how to add menthol into the juice?). I tried HC green apple and RYU 4 on 50/50 18 mg. One thing i observe is that my throat feels quite dry throughout the day (vape 4-5 times, every 1-2 hrs) and there seem to be a little of chest being tight. (anyone else feels the same way?)

Other than being offered by customers of 2 analogs, i have been able to stay clear today.

btw, i dun feel comfortable vaping in public places, only in my office smoking room or in my car.

Thank you all for your help.

Usually 1st week is the hard part of switching.
Just drink more water, if got sore throat vitamin C and salts water help.
All the best man

Try Seavepe & Sg Juice menthols their pretty decent.

 

[civician]

i am on menthol as well, try TPA juice
anyway for other flavours, just drop a note that you wanna add menthol
supplier will be able to help you

I think you shud try get menthol juices from USA...there is really a big difference when it comes to vape... i too was a menthol smoker so yeah, anything that has menthol would be my sweet spot...

Just vape discreetly , but I must warn you in car there are times where 'eyes' are still looking so you must be careful...unless you vape when you drive in a highway then that would be nice...

i recommend that for your next order don't add menthol to all ur juices 1st. menthol from analogs works differently from juices. I've got 3x30ml of menthol juices and I've been defecating min 3 times a day. No prob when using non menthol juice.

Just try out 1 bottle 1st.

"One thing i observe is that my throat feels quite dry throughout the day (vape 4-5 times, every 1-2 hrs) and there seem to be a little of chest being tight. (anyone else feels the same way?)"

The 18mg nic is too strong for you; lower the nic level to about 12 and you should be alright. I used to get that when my vape was too harsh for me. Oh btw, the higher the nic, the harsher the throat hit. And the more the PG, the stronger the throat hit. So say if you're vaping high PG + 18mg nic, the throat hit is going to hit you hard and harsh, thus causing the chest tightness.

Hope this helps! And drink water, cause the ingredient PG or VG or PG400 (read this somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong guys) is very dehydrating. It sucks up the water as well.

Get menthol; tick the add methol flavor, and your mouth and throat is like vicks all over.

From personal experience (and feedback from some of my vaping colleges and friends) I also felt some chest tightness and breathlessness but it goes away after a couple of days.

After purely vaping without analogues for about 2 weeks I developed a cough with very thick phlegm and when I do spit it out the color is very dark brownish which got me worried and I did some searches on the net. Found out that it was my body purging the tar and bad stuff from my lungs. (I may be wrong)

After stopping for about a month or so I noticed that I breath better, taste better (I used to eat very saltish stuff) and generally feel better. Sadly however I went back to analogues after 2 mths.

I'm back to 100% vaping now and will keep it up this time and I wish u all the best in your vaping journey as well.

Cheers!

Oh yes Drunkendori, I hope this helps you but...

Look at the banner below your signature. Don't cheat on it, and make it go for months and months and then a year and then celebrate your anniversary cigarette free with a vape meet.

hi linkin20,

thanks for comments, i bought 3 juice, only one is 12 mg nic. will try that out.

 

[Whoopin]

Note that my advise is opinionated based as well together with some research alright

I hope this helps you out.

 

[Whoopin]

I will! Notice I didn't use the word try... It's a dirty word.

Don't worry; after first 2 weeks it gets easier. And on the 3rd week, buy a pack of cigarette and light up. To me, it will taste like mothballs and not any flavor D:

You still buy a pack of cigarettes? I just ask my friend to light up 1, and I took 2 puffs.

Yup. I'm cheap.

I am curious......how you know what mothballs taste like?

I mean, i know what they smell like, but have no clue what they taste like.

You too hungry go makan mothballs?

 

[Ace of Spades]

Waliao! ...Dunno why when I am small, I like to smell those mothballs... Is it just me or is there ppl doing it to!? hahaha!

 

[winx19]

went a fully day without analogs, think the nick is too strong for me. Looking at getting 6mg menthol for a try. btw, how do i maintain the kit? what part can i wash and which part cannot?

thanks.
