None....Just get on here and pretend that you are not a newbie... I do it all the time

Somehow or the other, my good man, I can relate to your statement here. BUT I wish to make it fully known that I am a noob. This way I can beg out of making stupid and incorrect posts more easily

I feel sorry for the two folks in that video clip. I think they both have motor neuron disease

You know who I feel the most sorry for? ME. Because I just barely know what I am doing when it comes to this reply stuff

I remember being a newbie.

I remember thinking how "fiddly" this electronic cig stuff was.....it was daunting, and I was using pretty simple stuff back then.

My advice for newbie stuff, unless you're a hobbyist, is get something simple and something that is not going to make you cough your brains out, etc. You can ALWAYS upgrade and the first thing you buy can be relagated to backup.

therefore, I err on conservative side with newbies. I don't think they need to learn about temp control, single batts, chargers, and all that if they have NEVER picked up an ecig. Just the first few weeks of vaping and finding ejuice they like is going to be more than enough challenge.

A simple regulated PV with some safety controls is fine.

U will get used to it.......... Just click around on stuff to see what it does. Nothing will blow up.

Hey, no fair @Cognator ..you already have a member support badge .... I was waiting for @dcfluegel , @Susan~S , and a few others on here to help me out with that but for some reason they are taking their sweet time

I just could be wrong about this, but I think you need to let some moths out of your wallet for that badge. I figured I would just buy myself into this joint because I am a nice guy. Which is basically a lie

Yeah but I am learning in this day of socialism to try to get everything for free

I make stupid and silly posts all the time. I don't care.

Man can I ever relate to this post. Thanks so very much...!! I have only been cigarette free for two weeks, but the road has been a rough one. However what little vaping gear I own, sure has made things a lot easier. Plus I had help from my Brother whom is a forum member as well. This is why I am here

Vape on !

Looks a little foggy in that room

lol

Well Bro....this is the TRUTH. I see no reason to state anything different. The ONLY problem I have ran into is one of the e-juices that I purchased and tried. Learned a valuable hacking and vibration lesson over that one

Yeah that's why @Racehorse said what she did.... Getting the e juice correct is one of the important first steps in vaping that often trip people up as you found out from experience. Some beginners get a horrid juice or two and then they quit vaping and go back to death sticks because they think vaping is horrible. Getting the e juice right is important for sure.

Very well then. Personally, I am still in the grips of USDA certified death sticks to have much humor here. I just typed that for the heck of it >

 

[Susan~S]

@Cognator, have you found some juice that you love? What type of flavors do you like?

man - what was i slacking on now? had to actually leave the vape cave for a bit - had to pick up 500# of chicken feed, some dog food, some chinchilla food... and donuts... zomg... donuts... huh? what? axiom? did you say something?

 

[dcfluegel]

I surely appreciate the post here. I am not much of a gamer, so therefore the entire meaning is unclear to me. No problems. I am a confused individual anyways

actually from the tv series Game of Thrones... it's a wacky one, based on George RR Martins book series - though I understand they have gracefully excused him from creative direction (read, booted him to the curb, as he was trying to keep things actually in line with the book series...)

never underestimate the value of a good baseline for confusion - makes it easier to scale everything else

Susan......don't know where he ran off to but I will answer for him......... He likes tobacco flavors.......... A juice he just bought and is in love with is Space Jam Eclipse tobacco flavor. He tried Space Jam Pluto prior to that and it about did him in because he got too high of nicotine in it. He is vaping 12mg now and is handling that fine (tootle puffing).

40 years is a long habit to break. I was a 20 year smoker myself and it is hard to do. Very cool that you helped him through it, but also he had to have a strong desire to change as well.

And yes everyone makes mistakes, mine are just too numerous to name here and would be off topic.

I think that I missed this post while doing my homework. Seems to me that this business of batteries is a bit "touchy" for lack of better wording. I am betting that many fellow vapers must have had some really bad experiences with these things. Quite understandable. The science or workings of these batteries has already been explained to me by Axiom_1. I did my own personal research this morning prior to joining the forum here. I had a fairly long winded telephone conversation with my teacher concerning this matter as well. I am certainly not on any kind of a band wagon to support ANY of these battery products due to my lack of experience. I just know one thing, for fact. The Efest batteries that I first mentioned at the beginning of this thread are within the correct specifications for the KangerTech Subox Mini that I am using. They are right at the thresh hold when it comes to amperes rating, but I have not had one single problem yet. They hold a long charge. They do not overheat. They fire up the coil just fine. Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't think so. None the less, I certainly appreciate all the fine comments, feedback and knowledge presented to me...!!

The only thing I'd add to this is a Zample Box subscription. We are new (6 months) to vaping as well and without ZB id never have found IF's Awakening or CL's Vader.

I don't use the same equipment but it's such a personal decision. I do COMPLETELY agree however .. Get some help and buy a decent rig/consumables out of the box. Your pocketbook will thank you.

I certainly thank you for your kind reply. This was greatly appreciated

 

[Cognator]

Right on Brother and tough job well done. Vape on!

I think that I just may be going around in circles by now. Trying to cover all these replies if you know what I mean. THANKS!!
