If you DIY your own juice, you can't help but save money! I've never tried the fancier, more expensive juices. And, mine is better than most of the cheap ones.That's good to hear, I was getting worried about that part, lol. The learning curve is costing me $$

Hi to all the older people I have just spent the last two weeks reading all the info on the Older Folks Vaping and this wonderful thread and have learned so much from all of you. Yup - I haven't managed to get anything done around here in the last two weeks but I am so glad I found ECF and both of these great discussions.
I am 58 years young, started vaping on Oct 30th when I receive the ePuffer Colibri that I had ordered. Of course I wanted something that was just like a cigarette and it definitely met that criteria I started this pretty much as a experiment - just to see if something like an electronic cigarette could help me at least cut down on the 1 PAD + that I was smoking.
I retired two years ago - I worked in IT for Healthcare for 27 years and the stress from the last round of changes was the last straw and I packed it in. However, that and a back injury gave me way more time to smoke and I figured that I needed to do something to try and cut back.
I was amazed that it was actually pretty good and within a few days I realized that I might actually be able to quit smoking. I did make the mistake of getting to low of nicotine - so I was still smoking 3/4 cigarettes a day - but within a few days I found myself wondering why I was still smoking them Then I found ECF and started reading thru the Older Folks Vaping and learned that there was another entire world to this whole vaping thing. On Nov 19th I ordered a kit with 2 eGo Twists, it came with some Stardust clearomizers and the battery charger. I also order some 18mg nic juice, a Kanger T2, some Kanger horizontal coil cartomizers and a PCC.
By the time they arrived on Nov 22 I was down to 1 cigarette a day and once I opened the kit and started using the new Twist I didn't even have that one on Nov 22. I did find the TH to be a bit harsh and had to dial the Twist down to 3.4 and have since gotten use to it and now find 3.6 works pretty good.
I do have the challenge of being in Canada so I don't want to go thru the attempt of ordering juice from the states - but I did find a vendor that has pretty good prices on juice up here and got a bunch of 10 ml samples yesterday. So I still have lots to learn and all the fun of trying new flavors - I just hope that at some point my taste buds come back so I can actually taste them. I think that is my biggest challenge right now (other than wanting to order all the things you folks keep talking about ) I am finding that I am not really "getting" all these wonderful flavors that you all are talking about
I did also order another Twist with a 1000 battery and a Vivi Nova that came yesterday with all my new juices. I originally didn't want anything to big - but figured having the extra battery that was bigger to use at home would be ok. Not sure if it is just that the juice is from another Vendor - or if it is that the VG/PG is different (I also lowered the nic to 15mg) but I do find the juice I got yesterday to be a lot smoother with less of the harsh TH - but not much flavor. I did try the putting them in hot water and shaking - before I tried two of them, one is a Green Apple and the other a Black Honey Tobacco. So I am alternating with the RY4 that I have at 18mg from a different vendor - since I did find myself for the first time in the week since I had my last real cigarette - actually thinking about one last night
So at this point I am still really amazed that I am not smoking. I started sneaking tobacco and rolling paper from my Mom when I was ten and started smoking at 12 when I started babysitting and making some money to buy them. I only tried to quit once when I was 20 and that lasted less than a week. I love smoking and really did not have any intention of quitting - but I really do think I can do this
I hope I haven't bored you all too much. I just feel like I already know so many of you from reading thru this thread. I share so many of your memories, can laugh with you at some of the challenges we face as we get "older" at least in body. I love the music and reading all the wonderful support you all provide for each other. So I hope you are all ok if a Canuck from up north joins you.
Wow - I think I just wrote a book - so I better stop for now.
same container. the size of the whole thing is way too tall for Mods. So I cut it off just below the SID button and used the top part to create the divider, which is removable. I just cut a slot halfway through each piece and joined them together....
What did you use for the dividers?

They/we don't mean inhale into your LUNGS!!!In a lot of those "testing the new tank" videos when the person tries it out they puff in, blow out the other side of mouth, puff in and blow out, etc., several times before they actually inhale. Granted that looks fine on guys, lol, but I tried doing that (took some practice) and on some of the tanks several consecutive strong and hard puffs-and-blows will clear the underwater crackling and gurgling. Many people here have referred to a "3 to 4 second inhale"... I tried to do that (and I do yoga and can easily slow down my breaths to two breaths a minute, so it isn't my lungs) but there is no way I can handle a 4 second inhale. I tried counting my "normal vape inhale/suck" and it's "one-elephant-" and that's it. So a one second suck (then the inhale after my mouth is full). Could that be clogging the tanks (and possible why I tend to chain vape, lol)?
That certainly looks like part of the problem. And you should expect a harder draw than sucking Pepsi through a straw. I usually do at least a three second inhale. And I am experimenting with training myself to inhale one second before hitting the button, then inhale three more. I have tried a full ten second inhale, but am afraid of the burnt taste.Many people here have referred to a "3 to 4 second inhale"......there is no way I can handle a 4 second inhale....

First I wanted to say a found farewell to my once trusty Ego-T who suddenly burst into flames last night while someone only known as “idiot” decided to play a game of Russian Roulette with single coil builds.
It was tragic and horrific watching this battery suddenly melt, yes...melt, due to a bad coil. The smell lingered for over an hour. It reminded me of the terminator movies...something to that effect.
Finally, a ten wrap really tight...0.0Ohms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and thats where the tragedy began..................dont want to go into details....
So sorry to here about the ego-t. View attachment 301316 But so glad there were no injuries. i can relate though, activation button on my Sigelei 19 came untightened and popped off and i came come to soiling myself and my black cat was not impressed either. If you don't mind me asking.....what is the advantage of sub-ohms? i just started doing my own coils but I am pleased with 1.8. Just wondering what my next endeavour could be. I'm still pretty new to all this but i have learned so much from everyone here.
They enjoy the thrill of putting themselves in dangerous situations. Like my ex who was into drag-racing.Geez - Xavier, be careful out there....... Mech mods let folks push the limits as there's no 'electronics' to act as a safety valve.
