Saying hi

[datavampire]

Hi my name is mark, I am from the uk and was smoking around 20 a day somtimes more somtimes less. i have given up plenty of times before but always returned to smoking. a freind of mine popped around and got me to try his vape. i was sold from that moment.

popping around to our local shop and buying one of those cheap pen ones with usb rechargeable battery. After around 20 mins i relaised it was no where the same as iether a cigarete or as good as my friends mod.

Talked to the wife went to our local vape shop. bought a eleaf 20 watt mod with a aspire triton tank. loade dup with juice. and i was happy from then not smoking, i am now on my third week of not smoking.

The only bad thing is this it has now turned into a hobby lol. i have bought a ton of e-liquid.

In the last 3 weeks i have bought the following:
Box mods:
e leaf 30 watt
Smok X-cube mini 75 watts with tc controle
Snow wolf 200 watt with tc controle.

Tanks
Aspire triton
Aspire triton 2
Smok tf4 mini

RDTA`s
Aromaizer Steam crave
OBS crius vs 3

RDA`s
Aliance v2
My son now has the e leaf 30 watt and the triton. he has also got the bug and has also had a new tank and another mod (we started to give up smoking the same day)
As you can see i have progresed to also making my own coils now(which i find really interesting)
So in the past few weeks i have spent a small fortune lol(so much for saving money eh)

I have also ordered a diy ejuice kit and i am going to try that.

So as you can imagine i grave and soak up information and will be glad of tips and advice.

Anyhow im waffling on.

Welcome to ECF!

How do you like that Triton ver 2? I have 4 - Aspire Atlantis IIs, and 1 - Aspire Triton v 1. I'm interested...

Hi there.

Main difference to me was the ability to take it completely apart and clean it easier. It comes with a spare tank, not a biggy but its nice.

It is smaller again some not bothered by it. and no air flow by the drip tip(this i liked).

Now down to the vape(remember im new to this and only had it aprox a week before i went to the smok tf4 mini(which i think is defo a better tank) i then got the vrs 2 triton, i feel personly it is a better vape than the vers one, but this is again subjective and my opinion.

Is it worth buying over the vrs one..... ? tbh i bought the vers 2 becuase my son stole the vers 1 and the price diff between the vers 1 and 2 was liek a few £`s . so i thought id just buy it anyhow. so if you like to have clean tanks and the ability to clean them without hassle then for this reason alone i would say yes. and as i said i do think it vapes better.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Welcome @datavampire

I did enjoy that little comment. Man, we started on plastic placebo sticks (E-Lites) and it was a miracle we actually believed vaping was possible... and yet, they go on, and on selling 2 cartomizers for £8 (£3,000 a year minimum) and making out they are the real deal.
and look, today, Vivid Vapour and Blu (tobacco companies) are taking over in one hell of a rush. Some people feel these are worthwhile products (to help people quit) but a thousands a year (£) and barely enough Nicotine to satisfy any smoker, this is what we may all be left with after May 2016.

You second comment - YES! why not. Cheaper and better than Blu. In the long run, you will save money and your health has no price, of course.

Hi and welcome.

The local pens etc are companies out for money they try jumping on the hype. I have walked past many stalls and they say come try I'm like I smoke this they say what's that I'm like its the real thing. The pens are useless and advice nobody to get one from a corner shop or stall, but welcome and hope you have a great vape journey ! [emoji100]

I have to agree the vaping experiance from a cheapo pen. is very muted and bland. in fact at the time i did not even feel like i ahd a nicotine hit lol,Hense why i had mine 5 mins and decided to go to a vape shop lol.

Btw guys thanks for all the replies and making me feel welcome.

Sorry for the bad typing in my previous comment lol. Yes your right, by the look of things all the mods you have, your set out for a long time. Also another tip, I came to the stage where I didn't know what juice to get once you get a feel of what types you like weather that's fruit flavours, cereal flavours or whatever tickles your fancy, you can subscribe to sample box, they put bottles of juice in a box for you. All the juice that is picked is already tested by them and they usually find the best juices, you can refine your juice so you can say you want fruit flavours but no cereal or sugary flavours and they will give you a loads of fruit bottles of all different flavours, usually everything they give me I like I've only had 1 bottle of juice per box I don't like at the most, it's great value for money and you can discover some great juices!

Cold here in Chicago and within 3 to 4 days, I assume a cold front from Colorado will be moving Eastward toward us. Currently at more than one weather station, it's -50F (-45.6C)...so batten down the hatches!
