1. How long have you been vaping?
Started vaping in 2009, but took almost 2 years to make the switch 100%...so according to my ticker below, 1 year 9 months and 14 days.

5 to 9 mls/day

3. Nicotine level?
Started at 24mg...now I'm comfy @ 6mg (sometimes less).

4. PG/VG content ratio?
50/50

5. What effects to your health have you experienced (good and bad) (vs. analog smoking)?
POSITIVES: Breathing is great, endurance is up, no more YACK taste in my mouth when I wake up and I smell good most of the time.
NEGATIVES: I gained about 20lbs over the first 6 months of 100% vaping, and still struggle to lose it. Making headway, but it's slow. Sense of smell is 400% more sensitive...I can smell a cat fart from 50 yards.

[Thefreeze336]

1. How long have you been vaping?
1 month, 1 day (have not had a cigarette since I took my first vape)

2. How many milliliters of liquid do you go through daily?
It's hard to say, I would guess between 2-3

3. Nicotine level?
24mg

4. PG/VG content ratio?
Haven't messed with this yet. Whatever Pink Spot Vapors is set at (they have been my juice for 99% of my vaping)

5. What effects to your health have you experienced (good and bad) (vs. analog smoking)?
I can smell cigarettes cars ahead or beside me, and I don't like the smell. I noticed at first a higher coughing, but it has subsided. I dont know if I am tasting better yet, but I can definitely smell more. Especially the smell of ciggs.

 

[JellieBean]

1. How long have you been vaping?
Close to 1 year...
2. How many milliliters of liquid do you go through daily?
4-8mg daily
3. Nicotine level?
12-18mg
4. PG/VG content ratio?
80pg/20vg sometimes mix 100vg with 80/20
5. What effects to your health have you experienced (good and bad) (vs. analog smoking)?
Better breathing and more stamina now...

 

[Tmcclure85]

1. Little over 2 weeks
2. Like 5-8 ml
3. 12-18 mg
4. 50/50 80/20
5. Holy .... I can smell and taste!

 

[MadQuack]

1. Two years this month.
2. Between 2 and 3ml.
3. 16 or 18, depending on supplier.
4. I prefer %100pg, but I don't mind 80/20vg.
5. I am almost never short of breath anymore, and I feel overall much more healthy. The downside is that if I drink caffeine and vape heavily, sometimes it'll trigger nasty anxiety. I coped with that by drinking water more often and generally trying to have a better diet.

[VapnWitch]

1. How long have you been vaping?

Almost 7 months. I started on December 18, 2012.

2. How many milliliters of liquid do you go through daily?

I'm going to guess 2.5-5, depending on the day and what delivery method I'm using.

3. Nicotine level?

Most 11/12mg, but I still have a few 15mg and 18mg samples floating around.

4. PG/VG content ratio?

PG free, I react badly to it.

5. What effects to your health have you experienced (good and bad) (vs. analog smoking)?

The absolute worst problem I've had was the breakouts from PG. I've had some acne since I started vaping, but when I was still using PG I was also breaking out in hives and these weird, larger red bumps that were extremely itchy and somewhat painful. I kept adjusting my PG/VG, found that all VG cleared it up, and I've been ok since. Otherwise, my worst problem is not hydrating properly some days, which is completely my fault because I don't like water and have to force myself to drink more of it.

On the positive side, I can breathe easier, taste things better, smell things better, I have more stamina for exercising and other things that require some physical exertion, and I just feel better all around. I haven't had as many issues with my sinuses, either.

[Faylool]

1 year
3-4 ml
18-24mg
70/30 pg/VG and also 60/40 -50/50 and 100% VG
I chewed Nicorette for 10 years so no changes in health and nothin negative

 

[ANNAMARIA]

Vaping for 3 weeks, started at 12 mg, down to 6 mg, PG/VG ratio is 40/60 ... I find vaping more enjoyable due to all the flavors available. I wont lie, I still miss striking up the lighter for a cig. I think I always will. But the last cig I had tasted bad to me, so I try to hold onto that. I hope to go down on the nicotine at some time. Still looking for that juice that I just love!

I still need to drink more water!

 

[23duncster23]

I'm pretty new here. I haven't really started vaping just yet. I've tried several times from a few friends and that's what lead me to my internet searches to learn more and ultimately found my way to ECF. Just about have my ideal setup ready to order so hopefully should have something coming in the mail soon! Looking forward to joining the club!
