Newbie Introduction

[Snookfever]

Hello All,

New to the vape world and would like to say hello! My handle is Snookfever. I look forward to one day being able to contribute instead of simply being a sponge. However, I know very little at this point about vaping. I did buy some Sony VTC6 batteries from Orbtronic and was wondering if they are a trusted vendor?

Thanks
Snookfever

Hello @Snookfever. Welcome to ECF, the world of vaping and the vaping community. Glad to have you here on the forum with us.

I do believe Orbtronic is a trusted vendor and has been for many years. The Vtc6 is also a very good battery, so your off to a perfect start on your vape journey.

Welcome aboard!!!

Hello There,

Darth, Winblows, Dyanaprajna, Opticruby and Mooch. Thanks for the warm welcome!!! Well to tell ya a little about me. Live in sunny south florida. Got my first sub ohm yesterday. I went with the Smok G-Priv Kit, Sony VTC6 and Halo, Vaporfi and Black Note E-Juices. So far no traditional cigs in 48 hours as they vape has eliminated those urges. I am still coughing from the vape sometimes and sometimes not. Takes some getting use to. I have done a TON of research. Rip Tripper is very funny by the way. I believe the Velocity V2 RDA with a fused clapton coil is going to be the best for flavor. However, my lungs right now probably cannot handle the density and quantity / vape production it will produce. So the Baby Beast is where I am dipping my toe in at the moment. Plus Rip Trippers review on the G-Priv got me when he said it was sick ... ....! LOL

For a solid flavor chasing RDA, I have heard great things about the Hadaly. I've also heard that its a bit of a PITA to build on for beginners, but I cant say for sure as Ive never owned one. The Velocity build deck is a dream for beginning builders. Very easy to work with. You should be able to get lots of flavor out of it with fused claptons.

Hi and Welcome- Congrats on quitting smoking ! Yes vaping does make you cough in the beginning, just take smallish drags at 1st! Remember to that you quit smoking and that will make you cough a lot too- drink lots of water!
Watching You Tubers helps- easier to watch than try to write and explain, how your tank works,coils,mods! Most walk you through each part! Plus many videos on quitting smoking by vaping and eliquid reviews!
Best of luck to you! Stay strong against the cigarette urges, they will go away, I smoked for 30+ years and quit by vaping just over 2 years ago!
Stay Strong and Vape On!

Welcome to ECF.

Remove the word Vaporfi from that list and all is well in the world.
Halo we can live with, because they are Halo and they are nice enough about their business.

When i was a kid, about 10, used to fish for snook & bonefish at Paradise Point.
Also Gables-by-sea. Those fish were diabolical,,the way they used the Mangroves..

 

[Snookfever]

I would have to agree! A very fun fish to catch! You just made me think about how i am going to vape and fish at same time? Before, a cigarette could simply be held in mouth while fishing. Rut Row???

 

[Snookfever]

Djsvapour,

If I may ask why do you not like Vaporfi? They were rated very high on reviews as e-liquids. Now you have my curiosity peeked?

Definitely get mech mod and a freezer bag. I keep mine in a dry compartment of a cooler bag so it doesn't get too hot from the sun beating down on it. I dont do this for fishing, rather, the beach...but similar concept I think.

Djsvapour,

Oh good, you took the bait.

Much of the e-cigarette industry is not what it appears to be. There is a great deal of 'creativity' and marketing hyperbole (and lies, by the way) washing over the entire industry. It's full of sharks... big, fat, greedy sharks.

Without going into too many details; there is money to be made by reviewers and review sites pushing certain brands. Brands that charge $119 for a $29 e-cig or $59.99 for a $20 tank have only one thing in mind.

Most reviews are not to be trusted. Most review sites are part of the nauseating web of commission/affiliate sales. Entire websites built from the ground up to channel business with seemingly good intentions.

Ultimately, brands that hide where their hardware has come from to charge triple will be doing the same thing with e-liquids too.

Tread with extreme caution and please, don't feed the sharks. PLEASE.
