Noob to the Vape

[Needeles]

Sup all, just got setup here on the forum and wanted to say hey. Pretty new to this whole concept of vaping but so far I'm liking it. Been lurking here on the forums for a week or so just checking out the info and whatnot so decided to finally make an account. I started out with a Red Dragon and for the first few days was decent then just went downhill from there. Did a bunch more looking and finally got a Volt and am much more happy so far.

Well just wanted to say hey.

Ya seems people are pretty helpful from all the posts I have read so far. Still on that wonderful learning curve but at least it seems I've found a good place to start at. So much info to try and soak in...lol. I'm already checking out the DIY ejuice kits and flavs to see what i can do there.

DIY mixing is easy, just keep your stuff clean and be patient. not every mix works and sometimes a flavor will get skunked in the bottle so you ruin a batch of juice. Most people start off with a flavor they like from a stable supplier, then doctor up the flavor to suit their particular tastes. stick with smallish, 5 or 10ml batches and then experiemnt with aging. some flavors work right off the bat and stay that way. some start off a little strong or even nasty and age into somehting you might really like over the next week, others start off well then as they age they go flat or some reaction happens between the flavors and you end up with something gross. Take notes, so if you find your magic jave you cna repeat it, and don't get discouraged. One thing that ahs becme a must-have for me is sweetener. It seems like the only flavors that i have tried that don't need to have a sweetener in the mix to brighten the flavor have been tobacco flavors.

Welcome to a healthier lifstyle! The VOLT is a good first choice to test the waters. In 2008 I bought a 401 starter kit at a tavern and it worked enough to cut my analog usage in half. Just try and find a good liquid you can vape on all day, then expirement with tweeking them with flavor concentrates and DO download an e-liquid calculator to guide you to keep your nic levels in a safe range. As far as your hardware... the next step would probably be an EGO type battery and some better CARTOMIZERS. If your like a lot of us here, this progression into better hardware might become an addiction, costly-yes, but a much better hobby than chasing down cheaper cigarettes, and coupons to save on a much more unhealthy nicotene delivery system! Stick with it and you'll soon start to feel the enormous health benifits.

Thankx all, between last night and today I decied to try and make some juice. I just took some of what I had that was already made and mixed it together, got some LorAnns orange and was like wow. I think I did pretty good for my first shot at a DIY mix. Made about 3ml to start out, gonna let it sit alittle and see what happens. I haven't posted much here but been lurking and just trying to take the advice many of you have posted up. So far so good.

Welcome. As a noob myself I can tell you this forum rocks. The members are very helpful here.

This is best one stop for info I've found! Be sure to read up on the DIY mixing areas, especially on the flavor reviews... having a box full of OK flavors is a frustrating thing.
