The new guy.

[SomberKing]

Hello everyone, i'm new to vaping and this seems like a great place for information or to find answers to any questions i might have. I started vaping just over a month ago and have been cigarette free ever since!

Time to spend countless hours researching all the cool and interesting vape stuff i can try out!

Welcome to ECF SomberKing, make yourself right at home

Hello and welcome.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

 

[SomberKing]

Thanks for the welcome but i have so many questions i think it's best if i do a little research first, i'm a total noob... I dont know where i would even begin. Tanks, batteries, ohms, mods, temp control, sub ohm, RTAs, RBAs, etc... There's soo much!

Hello SomberKing and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your vape journey. Once you get 5 posts/replys in (you are at 2), then wait till half past the hour for the forum to reset/update (anti spam thingy) there will be more areas of the forum open to you. Good luck.

I should probably mention what i'm currently vaping on... Im using a Vapros Nunchaku VW Battery 2000mAh with the matching Vapros V-Spot Tank and i picked up some juice from MTBakerVapor. I think the juice is pretty good but its all ive tried so i can't really say much about it. All in all everything so far has been great!

Welcome to ecf there's some great people here can answer about any questions you have

 

[Denvap0r]

Mount Baker is a good all around budget friendly juice maker. Another option, especially for the price would be Mechsauce. Great prices and good flavors

@SomberKing , hello and welcome!

Yes, you've definitely landed in the right spot. This forum is full of friendly, helpful people willing and able to help newbies. I started vaping about the same time as you and quit the cigs as well. Congrats by the way!

I agree, it can be difficult to choose where to begin where questions are concerned. What I did/do is use the "search" when something pops into my head. If I can't find the answer I ask (or obsess about it til I get the nerve to ask )

I read different threads every day hoping I'll learn by osmosis.

Why not jot down say, your top 5 questions and start there? Gotta start somewhere, right?

Cheers

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

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

• A Good Starter's Setup

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:

• The Three Main Types of Ecig
• Vaping Slang and Acronym

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.

Welcome to ECF!

 

[SpyderBite]

Welcome! Good instinct as this is THE place for vape info.

 

[HighPlainsPuffer]

Welcome and congrats on quitting the cigs! As you already know, ECF is a scary knowledgeable place! I think the best place to start is checking out ohms law, and than start with what you know, namely your current setup and similar types. You'll end up in tanks and batteries, than come the rebuildables when you're sick of spending money, than back to ohms law. Its a heck of a cycle

Welcome! I'm new on the forum but I have been vaping for a while, probobly not more than most people on here, but if there is anything you need, let me know! I am a fan of sub ohming, mechs, and coils. If you need a tutorial or a little explaining, then of coarse, feel free to ask anybody. I'm sure you will find what you need here!
