Soon to be new E-cig user

[outbackblackjack]

I recently made a trade on another tobacco related board for a Black Volcano e-cigarette with V-pack pcc, 2 batteries 2 atomizers wall charger, 5 empty refillable cartridges, USB charger and cable. It is in original box and has less than 20 hours of use on both batteries. I also have a black Volcano Magma with M-pack pcc, 4 batteries (2 auto 2 manual) 1 atomizer, 1 aluminum drip tip, 5 refillable cartomoizers, wall charger, USB charger and cable, USB pass through. It is in its original box and has less than 40 hours of use on its batteries. Also included in the trade is blue foam for the "blue foam mod", medicine droppers, and a syringe (no needle) to fill the carts. I am completely new to e-cigs and a long time analog cigarette user. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and yours,
Steve

Welcome to ECF and it looks like you scored some good loot. I would suggest getting online and ordering some juice. You will need it. Get a few different flavors in small bottles so you can figure out what you like.

pick up some juice and you're good to go, thats really the only tip i could give. check out litecigusa.net, they've got good prices on juice and i think they're in your neck of the woods so shipping would be quick. you've got some nice equipment coming, thats literally everything you could possibly need or want. enjoy. happy holidays to you as well.

A few quick questions about juice. What are the differences between juices? What do the percentages mean? I remember being told a while ago that you can make your own juice with snus or nasal snuff is this true?
Also a little bit more about me I smoke(d) full flavor menthol cigarettes for 25 years about 2-3 packs a day, smoke(d) cigars hand rolled & machine made about 1 to 5 a day for almost 30 years, smoke(d) a pipe mainly non-aromatic pipe tobaccos with the occasional aromatic i use about 4 to 12 ounces of pipe tobacco a week for almost 20 years, use(d) dry/nasal snuff about 5 to 20g a week for over 5 years, moist snuff and chewing tobacco about 1 to 7 cans a week and 1 to 4 pouches for almost 33 years, and snus about 4 to 10 cans a week for almost 3 years. So I guess it can be said that I'm a vitamin N - nicotine junky and have been one for a long time. Any recommendations for juices to help me kick the analog habit?

xg4bx thanks for the suggestion but I would rather try to avoid purchasing e-liquid from within PA to avoid sales tax. Warren PA is located in NW PA about 15 miles form the NY border and about 75 miles east of Erie PA. I am within 30 miles of the Seneca Indian Reservation in Salamanca NY which is part of the reason it has been so hard for me to try to quit analog cigarettes, cigars, and smoking a pipe. I would be willing to purchase juice in PA if I could find a shop that sells it in any towns near me or where I travel to in PA, OH, NY, and or WV. Are there any juice dealers on line that offer fast decent priced shipping and decent prices on juices and possible samplers?

Welcome to ECF, you have a big section full of dealers in this forum, it's hard to recommend only one of them, please check them, there are many that offer samples.

"What are the differences between juices?"

1. The amount of nicotine; the higher the # of mg, the stronger the juice.
(36 up to 48 is the maximum for most 'good' suppliers, do not go above that.)
2. PG or VG based or a mix of both.
3. flavored or non-flavored

"What do the percentages mean?"

A percentage of 80 to 20 would normally mean; 80% PG to 20% VG, but you can order it just the opposite.

"I remember being told a while ago that you can make your own juice with snus or nasal snuff is this true?"

I haven't tried, but I'm guessing you would only get a small amount of nicotine that way.

GoodProphets.com is in Pa. and has a store you'll have to go to suppliers forums under good prophets as I cant get the google map link to work but there is 1 there. I have an order on the way but have not tried anything yet.Im not sure but Stephens Pa. does that sound right?

 

[Spills]

Its probably been mentioned and you are at this forum which is good. Check out youtube because the videos can be really instructive. It has helped me a great deal being able to actually watch the information at hand.

Good Luck to you

Ah just read your other post. I could be wrong and please someone chime in if I am. But I know someone who lives in New York and ordered from New York and says they were taxed. I dont believe this is the case when you order OUT OF STATE.

unfortunately i don't know of suppliers in those states. the 2 i mainly use are vapor renu (they're in CA) and Madvapes (in NC). Both are good suppliers with low prices on juice. vapor renu only ships priority for $5, its an option at madvapes for $5 or $6 (don't remember offhand).

Freedomsmokeusa probably has the best supply of samplers there is. their prices are pretty low too.

ScotTex thanks for your help on the numbers.

Riverwolf after checking a map Stephens Pa is SC PA near Reading about 5 hours from my location.

 

[outbackblackjack]

Spills I think YouTube videos are one of hte big reasons of what got me interested in the idea of trying e-cigarettes.

 

[o4_srt]

litecigusa is in avis
good prophets is in stevens
ikenvape is in whitehall

vaporbomb is in akron, OH

Clouds of Vapor is in New Jersey

I smoked Kools for 40 years. Try VaporBomb Fire n Ice. They have 5ml bottles at decent prices and are running a 20% off code until christmas.

 

[Woodsmith]

I havent tried fire n ice yet but was going to soon...!

Welcome to the world of vaping! I've been vaping for almost 6 months now and I love it!!
I was a smoker for 20 years before I was introduced to vaping. It only took me a couple of weeks before I quit smoking analog cigarettes for good,
and thats not long considering how many years I smoked. I started to noticing the difference right away! I can smell things, taste things, and I no longer smell like an ashtray!
I couldn't imagine smoking a cigarette now!
Happy vaping to you!

The best place for juice is Ms. T's bakery

Thanks guys for all the suggestions for where to purchase juices from. I just received my Black Volcano e-cigarette with accessories and Volcano Magma e-cigarette with accessories now if just had somewhere in my city to buy e-juice I'd be set to start vaping. But I did score some juices from some members here at ECF in the Buying & Selling > Classifieds and swaps section of the forum so I should have some juices to tryout coming soon. Till then I'll just have to finish up my RYO analogs and start vaping when my juices arrive.
Merry Christmas to everyone here and Happy Holidays to you and yours,
Steve
