Non-smoker one month into vaping.

Check out Wizard Labs when you have some free time, you might be surprised at their prices for everything you'd need for DIY. Nic is about $10-$20 a bottle if you're not buying huge amounts, PG/VG is anywhere from $3-$10 for fairly high amounts of the stuff, and flavorings, syringes, bottles, etc are all dirt cheap for what you're getting.

Just checked them out and their prices are awesome. Will be highly considering buying from them when I start doing DIY. Then again it should be even cheaper for me because I vape 0 nic so no need to buy nicotine bottles. Thanks for the suggestion!

its a curse that plagues some of us. then again we get to tell ourselves that it is a hobby like any other.

Lol yes, a wallet drainer hobby

I buy most of my supplies from Wizard Labs and they do have some nice prices but...I would like to buy some flavors in larger quantities. I asked for a larger size bottle of flavors and they do not carry. It's okay but a larger size would be nice. They provide 8ml size bottles. Also buy from Ecigexpress and one flavor I like the best is Turkish by Tobacco Express.

Purchased 20 - 10ml bottles of Turkish since March of this year. To me, this is some good juice. I do have a couple of problems with them. One, loose caps on the bottles. My last order came in nice and dry (not wet with leaking juice) and had tight caps!

Sorry for the long post on this about Ecigexpress but to be honest...Ecigexpress is very good and Yes, I will continue to buy from them. Both EcigX and Wizard Labs do have great products. BUT... if Wizard labs had the same Turkish flavoring as Excigexpress, I would not buy it from Ecigexpress. Wizard Labs always sends you a small sample of a flavor and a pipette Both are fast in shipping and delivery. Purchased more from Wizard Labs both Flavors and Nicotine than any other vendor.

Thanks for the in-depth review of both Wizard Labs and Ecigexpress. I don't particularly like tobacco flavors, in fact they are the least of my preference. However I am open and will probably try a couple of tobacco flavored juices. You never know what you might end up liking.

Also funny thing just recently started noticing (or maybe it just started happening) that when I exhale through my nose, it gets watery. If I exhale a bit I get fast mini droplets of water (or whatever it is). Most of the juices I vape are high in PG although I got 1 or 2 high in VG or 100% VG. Maybe I'm catching a cold or something although I read of people having the same experience.

That happened to me for the first day or so I did the nose-exhale method, I'm positive it's to do with the vaping, but at least for me it went away pretty fast. Just your body getting used to having excess moisture drawn in from the PG/VG in the vapor. And no problem on the suggestion, you're right about it being way cheaper doing zero-nic juices, I've been mixing for that friend of mine and I can't believe how little I use in the way of supplies to do it..cost per milliliter is absurdly low, I haven't calculated it but it's easy to do, just check WL's prices and run a recipe in eJuice Me Up or similar, some simple math, and you'll have your cost per ml. It's probably pennies..

Yeah I thought it was weird because I've been vaping for about a month now and I always regularly did the nose-exhale. Maybe it's got to do with me starting to use dripping attys (It's been 3 days now). I'm using low resistance (1.5 ohms) bridgeless attys at 4 volts and the amount of warm vapor I get is overwhelming compared to any other tank/clearo I've used. But yeah probably the body will just adapt to it. Exhaling through the nose enhances the flavor a lot.

And wow, that sounds amazingly cheap. I guess without having to buy nicotine which is one if not the most expensive thing to get out of all the needed ingredients (I think ), it will be fairly cheap. Once I've exhausted most of the juices I got (a grand total of about 190 ML) I'll probably start into DIY. I like experimenting with flavors so I'll probably get hooked to it, I just need to make sure I get everything (that includes a bunch of dripping attys) to test and mess around with it. I know I can clean attys and all but I will probably want to have around 8 attys XD. Can't wait to get the gourmetvapor custom juice order with the extra flavor shots, if all goes well then I'll try mtbaker as well. At least it'll give me an idea of how well the extra shots work, and whether it will make them taste a lot stronger or nasty.

Lol, yes that is some vapor for ya! Went out on the river for a ride one nice weekend and I was vaping while in the nice fast breeze and noticed when I exhaled my cheek felt wet. Wiped it off but no real moisture. Of course here in the south the humidity is always high but man on every exhale had that wet feeling on the cheek! So yes, that is some real vaper moisture coming from the juice. I too have a nose drip and is caused from the juice. To me, it is all okay. Better than a analog!

For sure anything beats an analog . And thankfully the moist nose issue is almost completely gone.

Also I've been reviewing Wizard Labs and everything looks fantastic. It's so much cheaper than buying pre-mixed juices and you can actually trial and error to get that perfect taste you want. If I hadn't rage bought so many juices, I'd have already bought all of the materials to start DIY. But with 12 juices still left on my shelf, (all 15-30 ml) and 2 coming from gourmetvapor, I'll probably wait about a month before getting everything to start DIY. I'll also take that time to read thoroughly the DIY sub forum.

Also checked back AvidVapers and they finally got the HH.357 on stock! Went ahead and bought just one, hopefully it performs as good as everyone says and I'll get 1 or 2 more. Although I am looking into RDA's in the very near future. Microcoils at 1.2 ohms on my provari, should give a sub ohm experience should I ever want to try that without a mech mod.

Hi everyone,
New here...and also new to using e-cig (with nicotine) though I am a 30yr old non-smoker. I am however a recently sober (1 month) alcoholic so I have found that replacing one harmless addiction for a less harmful one has been beneficial to some degree. Some may disagree with my methods of coping but for the time being having something else to turn to in times of stress and anxiety has diminished my urge to drink; it also allows me to still attend parties where alcohol is rampant because smoking the e-cig gives me something to do with my hands.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Just curious

Me too - non-smoker, enjoying 6mg nic vaping. Enjoy the act, helps me relax and it beat chewing my nails until my fingers bleed.
