So I'm new to vaping..

[Flubber_Mummy]

Hi! I'm new to the whole vaping thing. I brought an ego-t from eBay and although the free juice was awful I enjoyed vaping. I've since brought different juices and have really gotten into it.

I went for a browse in a vape shop and ended up spending about a weeks wages on a few new gadgets. I'm now the proud owner of a Cool Fire IV and 2 Evod's? If I'm being honest I have absolutely no understanding of coils and atomizer and cartomizers and clearomizers. I don't want to bugger my beauties up though..

I agree with @edyle , ask here if you have any questions or before you buy.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Flubber_Mummy. Glad to have you here!

Check out this review on your mod: Innokin Coolfire 4

What an e-cigarette consists of:

1. Power Source -- Battery or Mod/APV. APV = Advanced Personal Vaporizer
2. Juice Delivery Devise -- often a clearomizer (a tank that uses "stock/factory" coils).
3. Heating element. Often called a coil.
4. Eliquid. Often called Juice.

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
1. The Three Main Types of Ecig
2. Vaping Slang and Acronyms

Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

eLiquid/Juice

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

ask here first before you buy.

+1 on this.

The past year I've been ordering mostly from:

• Sweet Vapes
• My Freedom Smokes
• My Vapor Store
• Wet Vapes
• Ahlusion -- for eliquid
• eJuices -- for eliquid

Check out ECF Forum Suppliers

I often use vapeCrawler to see who has the best pricing. If I only want to see suppliers from the USA I make sure USA is "green" and all the others are "gray". If you go down to the very bottom of the page you can see all the vaping websites vapeCrawler searches.

Welcome to ECF, flubber_mummy! I've gotta say, your username made me chuckle. It's fun to say too!

Keep exploring your options with vaping. The more you find out and learn, the more enjoyable the experience will be. And you probably won't be smoking much longer if you stick to vaping, added bonus!
