Hello all,

Been lurking the forums for about a month now soaking up a lot of info and decided to join in. I started with e cigs to quit smoking (21 days now) and haven't looked back. Any advice or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Only advice I would give at this point is to stick with it. You are doing great. There is a world of stuff available to us vapers. Just experiment and find what works best for you and run with it. Anything that keeps you off the analogs is a great set up. Good luck!!!

Hi Bawse, welcome to ECF.

Tell us what you have and what you are looking for and we can help with recommendations. The more specific you can be on what you like and dislike, the better our recommendations will be.

Thanks syeroc! I have zero craving for analogs especially with all the delicious e juice flavors available. I have been using a dripping atty lately and I really enjoy that after the work day. I just have to be carful with the credit card, especially when a sale is going on lol.

Welcome to ECF. The best advice I can give is to have backups, and then backups for your backups. Even extra chargers. As time goes by it is easy forget how much we end up depending on our equipment to be there for us. There is more thought and maintenance involved in vaping than I thought. But it is a lot more fun than smoking too. Glad you decided to join us here.

If you are using unregulated mods and RBAs, read up on battery safety. Buy only recommended batteries with high c-ratings from reputable vendors.

If you are using rechargeable devices like eGo style batteries, always have a fully charged backup battery within reach. You don't want to get stuck with a nicotine craving and a dead battery.

Keep it simple for a while. The most important thing is that you have a satisfying vape at the ready. Growing your collection and experience will happen naturally over time. Keep browsing the threads, and once you get access to the other forums, you will be able to get a lot more valuable information.

Keep asking questions. Lots of them. Search YouTube for reviews on products before you buy anything so you can make more informed decisions.

You will make mistakes. Don't sweat it. Tastes in flavors change as do preferences in aesthetics. Get verified so you can buy, sell, and trade in the classifieds section. You will reduce losses that way over time.

Keep at it!

Hello devauto,

Thank you for warm welcome. I have a ego style twist with a boge f15 carto tank that works but is temperamental lol, and a mvp v2 with a dripping atty. Not looking for anything below the 1.5 ohms just an enjoyable vape that's very flavorful and vg based. I've found that I really like fruit flavors and some desserts. Maybe at some point in the future I'll be looking to purchase a mech or hybrid mod to round out my gear if I find a good deal. I really like the aesthetics of the all brass mods.

Thanks ShariR,

I currently have an ego that lasts me all day at work and a mvp v2 that I use at home. I was thinking about a back up ego just in case also.

hello Xfoo Yen,

thank you, I plan on getting verified and continuing to scour the threads and youtube. I don't have any mods yet but hopefully when I venture off in that direction I can keep it to one or two lol.

Welcome Bawse!

I am only a few weeks past you and have not looked back. Yes, you will still get an urge or two but puff it away! Also, keep things interesting with new juices or even cool equipment. Also, get one of these cool signature banners to remind you why you quit. The cigarette count and money saved are a real eye opener!

 

[Bawse]

hello Harlen,

thank you and I will. One thing that is still surprising is that I knew cigarettes didn't smell good but man, I'm like I used to smell like that? smh

I like the advice of keep things interesting. You don't need a ton of money to buy a different topper/clearomizer/tank/ carto thingy. Think of it as a new toy that is roughly about the cost of a pack of cigs. Have fun, its a a great distraction.

Noob here too! I've been off cigarettes for 2 months now! I started off with a cig-a-like and LOVED it! I've just purchased an Evod and am just getting used to it...

Find one you like, click on it, and it should take you to the page that allows you to customize it for your own use. Most will even provide specific instructions on how to enable it in the forums ... it's pretty simple though, IIRC it was a copy paste thing into my signature block under my account settings ...

I did mine through the settings page BUT I just saw that you can go up top to Form-Actions-->Generate Sigbanner for an ECF one.

You're right mare ze dotes. I have come across several deals online. I definitely will be setting a budget.......after Christmas lol
