Taking the plunge!!

[BeeDawgg]

Hi everyone, im brand new to vaping, so im a little nervous about it. Been using "analog's" for 14 years, and im picking up my e-go tomorrow. Hoping this can help kick the habit, ive tried everything else and no luck, so hopefully this can work. Nervous and excited to try, glad theres a good forum for this, all the info on here is amazing. Any tips for a "noob" would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of vaping! The only advice I have is drink lots of water and order more juice...you always need more juice!

don't be nervous, I was suprised how easy it is to make the switch 30 years of smoking here (I started really young) and even if you don't quite smoking right away and just cut back at first it will be a win. good luck keep us posted on how its going

I ordered 2 30 ml bottles of juice, how long does it last?

That's a tough question to answer- depends how fast you vape it! It would last an average vaper a couple or three weeks on an ego, but who knows whether you will be average! I do know that I am happy for you and you picked a great pv to start with! Drink a lot of water and ask questions as needed, all of us did!

I currently smoke close to 2 PAD(ultra lights), and will probably be an above average vaper, any way to determine how much ill use based on what i smoke now? thanks again for all the help, its a huge confidence booster for me

What mg did you order- the nic level will matter. Sorry I keep leaving, can't refresh on ths new phone skin!

 

[kabonk]

I think the average is about 3-6ml a day

 

[BeeDawgg]

no need to apologize I ordered 16 mg, said it was "medium" strength....

Heyas BeeDawgg,

Welcome to the ecf

Gratz on taking the plunge!

I've only been vaping a month or so. I'd say I'm probably a moderate vaper, and I go through about 5-10ml of ~25mg juice a week. btw, I personally think its better to get lots of small (5ml ish) bottles of juice to start. Almost everyone I've seen post here is suprised at what flavors they do and don't like. My first vape was a menthol prefilled cart. Loved it. Second vape was another menthol. Liked it better. Ordered a kit with along with about 20 different small bottles of juice. Over half of them were tobacco or menthol flavors. After trying most of them, I don't like the tobacco's, menthols are meh, and I love the chocolate flavors, although I rarely eat chocolate

I've found that I like some other desert flavors also. My point is just that the flavors that I tried on a whim are the ones that I REALLY like to vape. So be adventurous. Most places sell the 5ml ish bottles of juice for ~$3, so if you don't like a flavor, it's not a whole lot of coin wasted. Then when you find a couple that you really like, go for the larger bottles. That's just my opinion though.


Happy hunting,
Maximillian the Mostly Mischievious

Ok, if you go through that in two weeks or less, and find you vape a lot to kill the nic cravings, get 24mg next time. It doesn't hurt to keep various levels around. I vape 24 by day, but step down to 12 or 18 at night dePending on my stress level. But you may be great at 16! There is a personal learning curve- it's a PITA, but everyone goes thru it!

In addition to lots of water a multivitamin woudln't hurt.

 

[36tinybells]

Lol, paxxoo, you are right- a multi vitamin never hurts!

 

[BeeDawgg]

thanks for the advice maximillian!!!! thats a great idea, im definitely gonna get those "trial" sized bottles to see what i like. I have to say this is an amazing community to be in, and look forward to contributing as well as learning.... so far everybody has been really helpful and i cant say thanks enough for the advice

Haha..I'm a newb too. I think you just taught me what a pass thru is. That would definitely come in handy for me. That may reduce some expense due to battery life.

I have this little auto battery, but I'm skipping the ego, and going straight for a variable tube mod Provari. At first I didn't even like vaping because I was going through cartos without getting flavor because I didn't now how to pull properly. I didn't find this forum until I had been vaping for a while. I got some lower resistance cartos for my Vapor Nine, though from a suggesstion from some vets on this site. I just got that in last night, and got my first actual taste of my juice.

This is going to be just as addictive as smoking for me at this point. My Vixen Vapors Tigers blood should be coming in this week. I'm more than a little stoked about that. There aren't even reviews of the juice I'm using right now. I'm anxious to see what good stuff is like.
