Gee, that's pretty dang high, you better turn it down a bit ;)

In all seriousness, wattage is just a number. I'f you're using smaller coils made of thinner wire (28-29g), you can't really go much higher. I actually prefer MTL vaping but with a looser draw; my favorite coil is 2.5mm ID, 29 or 28g wire, ~1Ω, in a Kayfun 4 or Joyetech Mega atomizer with a CLR coil. The airflow is perfect, vapor production just right, juice consumption is very reasonable and my mods with high capacity batteries last forever between charges. What's not to like? :D

When I first time told my mom that she should try quit smoking via vaping she was like:
- oh no no no!
- why?!
- oh, I heard these e-cigs tend to explode in mouth, I'd better stay with regular ones.
I'm still under the impression from that answer.

GL with your vaping choice @jtbje
Moms are a pretty tough market!! Thanks for the welcome!

I'm saving all these suggestions, and appreciate all of you taking time to help me out today. I got everything in tonight, my husband made me some coils, we mixed up a batch of juice, and I'm officially all set for now.

I vaped with the new flavor and felt...underwhelmed. But I've been very excited so perhaps my expectations were a little high. I plan on only vaping tomorrow, although I do have cigarettes and I won't beat myself up if I need to grab one.

Again, I appreciate each of you taking time out of your day to help a lowly internet stranger and offer such kind words and patience. You have surprised me with your kindness, and I look forward to participating and learning right along side of all of you. Many, many thanks from Texas!
Don't be surprised if your ejuice starts to taste better as most home made diy juices need time to age. We call that steeping. The flavoring when mixed with the nic/pg/vg start to develop into the flavors they are suppose to be but most take a little time to get there. What did you buy(name of flavor and maker) and how much did you use in your mix? I have been doing my own ejuice since I starting vaping about 8 years ago. We have a wonderful forum here at ecf just for the purpose of making your own. If you are interested I have provided a link.

DIY E-Liquid
Do you think it’s better to start with premixed? Maybe I shouldn’t have attempted it so soon....

Not necessarily. With diy you can experiment with what nic strength you need without it costing an arm and a leg. If you try it with premixed commercial ejuice, it can end up costing a whole lot of money.

There is a small learning curve with diy but you will have a whole forum that can help walk, talk you through it.

I kind of feel like I want to reference the movie "Freaks" and start chanting "One of us, one of us."
If you haven't seen that movie yet, you kind of owe it to yourself, in my opinion.
Keep in mind this is my opinion and I love old, tasteless B movies.

Now you're on thin ice, lady!
"Freaks" is not a "tasteless B movie", but a beautiful tragic comedy thriller with truly outstanding protagonists.

If you mean that you have Started vaping to Quit Smoking by using DIY e-Liquids, then I would say Yes and No.

For Me, Quitting Smoking was difficult. So how I approached it was to get Everything Lined Up while I Dual Used before I made the Attempt to go 100% Vape.

    OK...

    If it was Me, I wouldn't try to Quit Smoking using DIY e-Liquids that I hadn't semi-perfected yet.

    Better?

    Throwing this out to the vaping wizards....

    ... while doing a Recipe Reverse Engineering here ...

    DIY E-liquid | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

    ... while trying to keep a Cat from sleeping on my Keyboard.

    It was kinda a Confusing Post.
