Newbies Q&A

[sotong]

Sorry, got confirmation that the used set was snapped up by one of the members in the north.

 

[benetay]

No worries! Thank you, will continue to camp for good deals. This 'collection' is more like an addiction by itself. I love collecting things and it becomes a hobby in itself.

Cheers!

If you like collecting, then you are looking in the wrong places... try the classifieds in the main section.

Hello, been wanting to get a pv for awhile now. but heard of the ban and gave up. but i see the light now!
Sorry but can someone please guide me along!

 

[benetay]

Thanks sotong. Tried my first vape. Kind of scary. Can hear the battery actually burning up the juice and on the first few puff got me coughing. Now I'm not sure if it is the vape that got me a slight headache at 3 in the morning. Can't seem to doze off.

any new guys that needs help, feel free to approach. will try my best to help ^^

Could you help? I have just PM you my problem

 

[sotong]

@benetay. Hope you got rid of the primer in the atty before you vape. Noises are common... Do not over-vape especially the first few days, and keep an eye on your nic level.

@Episht. You might want to send a PM to Kee who is the leader of the Northern Branch, who will give you good advice.

@benetay, as sotong mentioned, it is a common mistake for new vapers to over vape. Take note of how much you vape and keep a good phase. It's easy to over vape coz the kick will come slowly as compared to analogs. Got a few times I over vaped too much when I just started last time. Can really give super head ache if you over vaped

 

[benetay]

Okay thank you sifu. I only vape now when there is a craving for analog. I don't quite like the menthol taste, but no choice. Guess in future will get the no flavour kind.

I'll prime a few times before I drag a long one in. Th is okay. So I roughly drag around 7-10 times before I put it down. I'm using 12 mg. So how often do I have to keep topping up?

Cheers!

 

[Flamethrower24]

When you start tasting the burnt taste already then you can consider topping up the liquid. But be careful not to over flood your atty. If you using 510 atty + dripping method, just drip around 2-3 drops only

 

[benetay]

Thank you. I'm using something similar to the echo. So the carto is really big and i drip and let rest, drip and let rest until it flows out from the other side. So i think i'll top up the carto everyday with 2-3 drops? Quite 'laychey' (troublesome) isn't it. Hope to do it once a week, but i know it depends on how much i vape. I guess i'll just vape like normal cigi.

Just wondering those who are working, where do you vape?

Cheers!

 

[Flamethrower24]

I usually just vape at my office's toilet. If my friends ask me to smoke with them I just vape with them. But usually I'd prefer not to coz now my nose very sensitive to smoke smell already (unlike when I was still a smoker)

things to share with newbies that using dripping method..

‪Removing The Bridge (mod)‬‏ - YouTube

watch it, learn it and do it..

Benetay: cartos and atty is different, u only refill cartos when it's getting dry and when u feel abit dry taste or not getting the full flavor. You can roughly estimate by looking at how dry the filler inside is also.

Normally people vape 1ml a day on average, so you just need to refill every 2 days or so.

 

[benetay]

trying so hard just to not take up an analog.

 

[Necromancer]

First few days is hard. After a while u dun get the urge anymore. After a while, when u try a puff of analogs, it taste weird and bitter .. Hehe

 

[Flamethrower24]

@trini, I second that. Just tried a few puffs from my friend a few days ago. It doesn't feel shiok for me anymore. I'm used to the thick vapor of my PV already and I like it this way. When I took a few puffs from my friend's analog, the smoke is too thin for me already. I tried puffing harder and longer but it's still not as much as my PV's vapor. It's been around 7-8 months since I've been using my PV and this is the first time I've tried analogs again. After the few puffs I've confirmed I'll be sticking with my PV

 

[benetay]

These are words of encouragement. I guess i'm not vaping correctly? I don't have thick smoke at all, the bad after taste actually make me want to stop vaping. I actually feel that my energy level increases by a lot when i vape.

Not sure what causes it too.

Cheers!

 

[benetay]

Remove the batteries, took the carton and with the mouthpiece i blew hard into it. What came out from the other end is some juice and dirt. Black specks of dirt. After that the draw was much easier. Didn't know what happened to it, and realise that i have been using so much strength and drawing it so hard.

Cheers!

 

[benetay]

I tried re-filling today just put 2 drops into the carto and the liquid came out from the other end. Does that mean i have not been vaping a lot?

Cheers!
