After being introduced to vaping last year as a viable alternative to analogs, I've come to an understanding that:

1. Juices are purely subjective. There's such a thing with PG/VG ratios and how they affect the overall experience. In my experience, juices with higher PG give you a stronger throat hit and less thick vapor while a higher VG amount is vice versa and burns out your coil faster (with a non-variable voltage battery).

2. Steeping is sometimes necessary. How this is done is subjective too as it can either enhance the flavor or destroy it completely.

3. Not all atomizers/clearomizers/tanks are created equally. For example, screwing a stardust/CE4 onto a battery too tightly can cause the flat top/connection to sink down further. When that happens, there's a possibility that new cartomizers won't work, eg: Kanger T3's. Also, minute defects can also prevent your carto from working properly as well as inappropriately filling the tank with juice.

4. Do your homework first and learn from trial and error. There's a difference between an ego and 510 type connectors. Going back to the issue of depressed heads, I had to go out and get myself another ego/510 extender to make a T3 fit into a standard (riva 510) battery. Coil resistances are also something you should also keep track of. Its all very technical.

Lurking is good. Asking questions is even better. That's the point of ECF right?

Work I have had to do since I started vaping:

Scrub walls in every room, ditto floors and carpeting and drapes/curtains, windows and mirrors
Scrub car inside including headliner and carpeting
Wash every item in the house, dry clean the non washables
Throw out my upholstered couch and loveseat, could not get the cigarette stench out of them, ditto dining room chairs

Found out I don't like coffee. I learned to drink it after I started smoking and 'thought' I liked coffee. blech

I can smell smoke a block away.....

YMMV

On a more serious and possibly helpful note: don't freak out about that headache you just got. Yes, it might mean that the nic level of your juice is too high (or low). On the other hand it might just mean you just need to put the PV down and drink a big glass of water.

Or, as was my case, you need to put the PV down, drink a big glass of water, and eat something. Apparently I'm now even more sensitive to changes in my blood sugar...

Sorry, but I snorted at this one! :laugh: If your PV won't do it, maybe take a tip from crime dramas and put some Vap-o-Rub under your nostrils...

What I have learned since vaping...Cigs were never this fun, for me the gadgetry of it is alot of fun ( maybe thats just a guy thing)

LOL, maybe a guy thing. The gadget part doesn't entice me so much but I do enjoy the process of vaping. Filling my clearo, smelling the liquid, tasting each flavor. I appreciate simple gadgets I can charge, fill and go that will last me hours and hours. I am a 53 yo female.
