One month in...my "top ten". lol

[pascloud]

Just some experiences I want to share being one month into vaping/quitting smokes. Hope you enjoy. LOL!

1. I've now officially spent less on vaping than I would've cigs, after all my start up purchases (lots of juice). It's all less and less from here out!


2. Washed a juice bottle in the laundry. And thought "I'm official!!" for some reason. Strange proud moment.


3. Figured out I am definitely a 70-80PG/30-20VG type a vaper. FINALLY. My current nic level is somewhere between 0 and 24mg. I know.


4. Got a back up for my back up!


5. Cracked 3 plastic tanks so far. All with the same juice. All in the same day. My husband did it to his. And I did it to mine at home and the one I went out with. Oooops. Wild Cherry MBV. We are now both proud owners of mini protank II's.


6. Got a little menthol juice in my eye. Okay, A LOT. 8-o

7. I am using my old Caboodle for all my vaping stuff that I gave to my daughter and stole back!

8. Made the mistake of showing my mom (a smoker) EVERYTHING I have for vaping. Including the syringe. D'oh!!!! Her --->


9. Haven’t touched a cig!! Though I’ve thought about a few times. I still have a brand new pack from the day I bought my starter kit. My goal is to keep it….for years and years to come. Like Memorabilia?


10. Still laughing at the day I first went into the vape shop and tested a flavor without attaching it to a battery first.

BIG Congratulations on 30 days!!! It feels good to not smoke, doesn't it.

My personal best is: I drip into a Joye 510 atty 95% of the time. So I took my spinner with an Evod with me grocery shopping. I get back home and put all the groceries away. Done. Great. Out to the sunroom to vape a bit. I started dripping into the drip tip of my Evod! I was so clueless as to look at the thing and wonder what happened/why didn't it work for a second. Take Evod off and put the atty on and all is good. Ended up dumping the bit of juice and cleaning Evod good.

And the best part is that I have done this on two separate occasions! Habit.

You should be proud. You just discovered our advanced steeping method.

No silly wabbit. You run it through the DRYER. That's the advanced Steeping method

I'm progressing in much the same way. Funny how quickly it all happens. My workbench has turned into my steeping/tinkering station and my nonsmoking/nonvaping husband just doesn't get it, though he is pleased about my not smoking for the past 3 months.

Awesome post and fun to read.... Those are all some of the growing pains we all go through......

I get sick of flavors so easily and want to start experimenting with steeping but still don't really understand dripping. In my mind - you add a mouthpeice thingy to a tank and drop drops of juice in every time you want a puff? I may be off!!

I've actually tried to light my cig-a-like with a lighter

Hi again

Take out the tank in your description and you got it.

At it's most basic you are attaching a drip tip to an atomizer.

The drip tip is needed to draw from, and to act as the insulator between the heat of the atomizer and you. You can be as practical (cheap) or go as crazy as you want here - they all perform largely the same function. Glass? Plastic? Aluminum? Stainless? Shape? Size? Totally up to you. Examples here. => Accessories - Drip Tips - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

The atomizer can be as simple as a basic 510 atty. These can be cleaned, but they aren't rebuildable. Once the coil pops or you can't clean 'em effectively any more you toss and get a new one. Something like this. => Smok Dual Coil 510 LR Atomizer - Stainless Steel - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

To try out dripping that's as basic as it gets. Put 3 to 5 drops of liquid in the atty, attach the drip tip, vape away. And repeat.

A bit more advanced would be these:

SmokTech RDA - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes
SmokTech Mini RDA - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

The size is different, but functionally they both work the same. The coil & wick in these is replaceable (you can buy pre-built coils even) and they hold more than the 3 to 5 drops of basic 510 atty. More vape time before you need to drip again.

I just used the stuff at Mt. Baker as examples, because I knew it was all in one place. This is the kind of stuff most vendors carry.
