So new to vaping...hence the post...here I suppose that gave it away.

Used to smoke back in the day...Marlboro Lights and would pull the filters. Went on some business trips and will buy a pack Ony way there then smoke while I'm there. Return back home and no smoking. :)

Well I like the nicotine...so went to snus and found General...big fan...just don't like the taste a ton. Sooo as I'm at the gas station today I was going to get a new can of General and looked to the right to see E-cigs...

Well this is where the hate I feel might begin. I bought a Vuse Solo in menthol. Well day one and just a few uses and I am 100% sure I found my new traveling buddy.

Smells good...still tastes like and feels like smoking a cigarette but no need to worry about how I smell.

Anyways that's my gateway into this world. Thanks in advance for all of the help I will get here. Ok....fire away!


55g to a 120g down to a 55g down to a 6g back up to a 20g high mixed reef...I'm done...I think... :)

No hate, Uciowa - it's all good. There's a vape for everybody.

In here, you'll see heated debates over all kinds of gear - enough of it, in fact, to rival any hobby. At the end of the day, though, all that matters is that you've made a healthier choice that you're happy with.

For the frequency and amount that you smoked, Vuses might be all you ever need or want. That's up to you. If you do want to climb down the rabbit hole a little farther, just keep popping in here to read and soak it all up, and I'd suggest you spend a little time in YouTube watching vaping reviews to see gear in action. It'll be greek to you for a time, but you'll get it sussed in no time.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you're here! Sounds like you weren't a heavy smoker at all, but pleased you chose a healthier alternative to the smoking. Keep it up, keep posting, and then look around the forum. You'll find incredible amounts of info here, and as has been suggested, YouTube is an excellent resource. :)

Yep that's what I was thinking...debates are the best part of any forum and hobby!!! That's what makes it fun. I pretty much lurked all night so I knew I was on a good forum. :) thanks for the welcome!

Hi Uciowa! Welcome and congratulations.

I like General snus--but only mini mint dry portions. :D

Vuse is a nice intro to vaping. If you decide that vaping is what you want to do, there are much better (and less expensive) PVs out there.

Keep us posted and good luck!

Ahhh yes General was my downfall again :) But fortunately it really is only when I'm around people from work about once a month or so :) thanks for the welcome!

OMG! How could you buy that convenience store crap?!?!*

*Is that enough hate? lol

No but seriously anything is better than buying a pack of analogs. If it works for you, and it seems to be, then there should be no hate whatsoever. We're here to encourage and inform!

Hello, Uiowa . . . Fortunately, we have reached our "hate" quota for the day. As such, welcome aboard to the ECF Vaping community.

It's great to have you aboard.
Well that sucks! I will shoot for today then! I mean there is a lot to hate about me....just sayin!

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! Can't wait to show off my first real purchase. I'm sure it's like any other hobby....always something "better" out there that I just have to get :)

Welcome, glad to hear you enjoy vaping so far. I remember the days of the good ol' cigalike. I still use my 510s from time to time when I'm in need of a stealthy small device. There is equipment aplenty and not everything is right for everybody. Budget permitting it's always a good idea to try a few different things. Anyway good luck and high health.
