So so new!

[Christina Young Malott]

Let's dispense with the formalities. My name is Chrissie and I quit smoking 5 years ago and started vaping about 3 weeks ago. Hubs thinks this is an awful idea. I've been vaping 50/50 vg pg with no nicotine. I vape hoping (successfully so far) to curb munching.

Knowing nothing but what Google and YouTube could tell me, I bought a X6 1300mAh Variable Voltage vaporizer off of eBay. I love this thing. Then I bought an Aspire Nautilus and realized quickly that it's a monster...6ml, really?

Anyway, I want to start dripping but I'm clueless as to where to go from here. I've tried looking for 510 drip atomizer and I can't find one...anywhere. I really like the Poseidon Quad Coil, but I'm not a cloud chaser. I want something small that I can sample flavors from before I commit to putting it in a tank...I'm also replacing the Nautilus with the mini tomorrow.

Please please help! [emoji5]

Well a couple of things. Most brick and mortar stores will have samples set up for you to try there, at least the B&M I to go does. If you're looking for something slightly smaller I would suggest Kanger Evods. I'm a huge fan of Kanger and have never had any problems with their systems, though YMMV.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to ECF Christina. I have heard that vaping can be a good deterrent to snacking. Good luck!

A bridgeless 510 atomizer is a super cheap and great way to get into dripping. Small form factor, cheap, and pretty durable. You don't rebuild those because they are disposable but you can clean and dry burn with ease and they last quite a while. Next step would be a basic RDA like the IGO's or anything similar. I have a $7 igo-L clone I bought on fasttech a year ago that still works perfect. Only thing I had to do was drill the air hole a little bigger. It's what I learned to build coils on. Pretty easy to do once you do it a couple times.

Expensive drippers perform great but for a new person the cost vs performance makes little sense in the big picture.

As far as vaping years after quitting smoking goes, life is too short. If you enjoy it and it brings you more pleasure in life then don't listen to anyone. Vaping is low on the list of things to avoid. Especially zero nic.

Welcome Christina to ECF. 4 more posts and you'll be able to venture to more parts of the forum....don't hesitate to ask a question. Members here are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Never tried dripping because I am very satisfied with my Aspire Nautilus with BVC's.

Good Luck to You....Happy Vaping!!!

to ecf Chrissie. So glad you are here. I would only agree with your hubby if you were going back to smoking. Look forward to reading more from you. Have fun and happy vaping.

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

Here is a great blog post on dripping by ECF member The Ocelot: Drip, Drip, Drip - The Sound of Dripping.

Hey, welcome to ECF. I heard that the IGO-W RDA is a good starter dripper. I started on a nimbus but it's rather small which makes it more difficult to build on. Good luck to you.

Welcome to the forum, Chrissie. Snacking, I know about that. I blame the wife for buying the stuff.

Hi Chrissie. Sorry to say that your husband is discouraging you from vaping. I mean you quit cigarettes, are using 0 nicotine, and aren't inhaling the nasty cig smoke with thousands of chemicals that damage your body anymore. And vaping has, so far been seen as safe alternative, and least much safer than inhaling smoke, and he says that it's a terrible idea?! That's lame.

Welcome to the forums! I personally stopped as well, but find myself drawing towards my PM lately not for nicotine, but for vapor and flavor. I get very jittery and antsy, and my hands always need to be doing something (hence why I talk with my hands). So, I personally am starting back up with the e-cig to keep my hands busy, but vape 0-6mg. As for the spouse not being happy with ideas, know that feeling. My mind has a way of making bad ideas sound good, and my fiance is good at making me realize they are bad. A lot of forums I am on would say to tell your husband off and that it's your life and if he's trying to hold you down leave him, but I disagree. Marriage is a two way road, and you're not in it for yourself, you're in it together. Talk with him, see what his concerns are, then talk with him and resolve the issue. Hopefully he comes around.
