Hello Everyone.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I'm very new to this, and at the urging of those more experienced than I, I am using it to quit smoking. I have officially not smoked in...42 hours. So far so good right?

Anyway, I'll be buried in the forum stacks for a while until all the lingo stops sounding like a foreign language. Have a good one!

Kitten.

Hey Dakitten welcome! Congrats on quitting that is awesome! I'm also nearly 2weeks since smoking a cigarette. Been vaping like a second hand steamer though hahahaha. This is the place to be if you need support or have questions

Welcome, Kitten! Congratulations on taking this step and you'll thank those who urged you to switch. There's a lot of info within all these pages, but you'll catch on, don't worry. You get the right set-up for you and the right juice, your 42 hours will turn into 42 days, 42 weeks and 42 months. You're doing good, keep it up and we're all here to offer help and advice when you need it. Just ask away.

Thanks Everyone!

I'm determined to learn allllll the things. I'm pretty happy with the set up I have now, or at least I will be once my wicked nerdy wrap gets here! I have been reading up a fair bit, and picking brains at every opportunity for the last few days. Every time I REALLLLLY want to smoke, I just start watching youtube vids. I should figure out how not to hack up a lung every three or four hits by the end of the week. I hope. right? Right?!

What set up do you have? Yeah sometimes it's easier to delay pulling it straight into your lungs when you vape take softer puffs hold it in your mouth a wee minute then draw it back I find that helps

I've got an itaste MVP version 2 with an iclear 30 tank and some other stainless steel tank with adjustable airflow that I really like. I can't remember the name off hand, but it stats with a K.

Hello and welcome to the forum dakitten. Glad to have you here!

Here's a little trick to help you. See the little dotted line under this> th or ECF ? If you hover your mouse cursor over the letters, a little box tells you what it is.

Here are some links as well. There is much duplication between these as some of these terms go back to the beginning, when I started vaping 8+ years ago.

Vaping Terminology

1. A – Z E-Cig Glossary
2. e-Cigarette Jargon and Terms – eCig 101
3. Vaping Glossary - what does it all mean?
4. ECF Abbreviations 101

#4 is very handy when trying to decipher ECF members slang.

What is the nic of your juice?

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day:

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

Congrats on getting off the cigs I've been vaping for a little over a year now and I do not even consider going back to those stink sticks!

Welcome to the party pal! (Yay! Gratuitous "Die Hard" quote!)

Starts with a K...Kanger? Kangertech?

Welcome to the party pal! (Yay! Gratuitous "Die Hard" quote!)

Starts with a K...Kanger? Kangertech?

Yes! that's the one, although...I might have a problem already lol I went to the vape shop today and dropped a bunch more money on stuff. I just got the aspire Nautilus mini tank, andthat's my new fav tank now. I can see myself going very deep down the rabbit hole!

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! Now I need to go figure out what the heck is wrong with this other Kanger tank I've got. Nothing is happening. I changed the coil, and that pretty much exhausted my knowledge.
