Noob from Ohio saying Hello!!!!

[jose45]

Hello all,I'm a 58yr.old guy who has been a 2pk a day smoker for 45yrs.I've tried every quit smoking gimmick out there and nothing has worked.I've tried patches,pills,gum etc.

As I sit here today I'm almost 3 weeks analog free.Puffing away on a VisionspinnerVV w/protank2.Puffing MBV juice.

I still can't believe that vaping has let me leave cigs.behind as easily as it has.No real cravings which is great.

I'm having some issues with the PT2 but learning to deal with them and learning as I go.So much info here it's amazing.

Thnx,Joe

ETA: Forgot to mention.My sense of smell and taste is coming back.What a wonderful feeling.I'd forgotten how good things smelled and tasted.

Welcome from a fellow Ohioan! It is really admazing how easy the transfer from analogs to vape has for me as well. What kind of issues are you having with the Pro Tank? Maybe we can help you out.

Gratz on your success I remember when I first noticed my taste returning. I was fixing dinner. Seasoned it in the usual way, took a taste and about gagged on all the salt.

Most PT issues are coil related. Sorting them out is a learning process. The longer you work with them the easier it becomes to figure out what needs tweeked on a coil head.

Hi and Welcome! Grats on the quit

Welcome to the ECF, and a big congrats on your success! Vaping is the only alternative to smoking I've seen with the success rate so high! My father's story is very similar to yours, made possible via vaping. Good luck.

Gurgling and spitting juice mostly.Seems to me to be the coils.Replace with a good coil and works great.Got a new PT2 yesterday and assembled with 1 of the 2 heads that come with.Couldn't get anything out of that one.No draw whatsoever.Replaced that coil with the other in pk.and it worked fine.

I've been watching a lot of rebuild vids and trying to learn as much as possible about how these function.Right now I've got 5 coils to play with that don't work.Still new but have problems.

I notice a few are fellow Ohioans.I'm east of Cleveland and have looking for a B&M store in my area.Can't seem to find a one.I hear they're booming in a lot of areas but no luck for me locally.Anybody out there in the Cleveland area can point me to a Vapeshop?

Welcome, and good for you for switching! I smoked all my adult life, 40+ years, and it has been a painless transition for me. Amazing!

There are a few listed here, although at least one is just website only, not B&M. You can check and see if there are any in cities close to you. I'm not originally from ohio, so I don't know what cities are close to others. State of Ohio

 

[jose45]

Hey thanks,I see there's one that's not to far from me.I've been getting everything online but it would be nice to actually see some of the products and hold them in hand.Appreciate it greatly.

Two just opened on the near west side suburbs. One in Parma and one in Middleburgh Heights. There is a facebook group "Cleveland Vapers Club" where we have been discussing the local vaping stores. I am also in the Cleveland area but south west suburbs.
