Well, I gotta start somewhere...

Wow........one smoke is great!!! Don't let the cravings get too bad or you might get too frustrated and smoke more. Everyone is different. For some if they have that first one, they'll smoke the whole pack. For others the feeling of depriving themselves, makes them want to give up on vaping, but if they'd smoked one or two when they needed em, they wouldn't feel deprived. Find out what's right for you, just don't feel guilty!! You're doing great!

agri pharma, Splash is the manufacturer, Do The Marier is the flavor. Tastes like DuMaurier Cigarettes.

The hardest part for me starting out and getting away from the stinkies was finding a good juice.


Without an ADV your stuck carrying 3 or 4 tanks of juice you dont like.


Find that ADV and stock up....


It makes it all soooo much easier.

Kevin littell, I'm still looking for my ADV.
Splash - Do The Marier seems to be working for now (It tastes like DuMaurier Cigarettes).
I'm waiting for my new eJuice order to arrive. (I'm hoping by Friday or Saturday !!! )
I've ordered the J C Classic : Black Cherry Tobacco.
(I used to smoke a pipe a lot, before I said !%@# it and got lazy...)
The shop I go to lets you sample a lot of different styles of eJuice, The first time there, I was there for over an hour trying out the various offerings on hand.

Welcome!! and congrats! Mark, It is a better road to travel. I just passed a year and there were challenges. When I started, I had to know that the juice would work. Since my taste buds were burnt, it did not matter so much what juice I vaped. but, I made sure the Nic was strong enough. I went higher and just went by urges. I found that I vaped about once an hour. I did keep my APV close, but not in my direct line of sight.

I went to my local B&M for my first set-up. I didn't know it but they had a huge mark-up to help them pay the employees and building rent. 95% of the time, I shop the internet now. I think most do that.

Your 650mah batteries are pretty small. I suspect that there is a lot of charging going on. Really quickly, I got a MVP2. It was well recommended and I ended up with two. Knowing that I had a spare helped. It sits in the car today with a couple of other supplies.

I didn't see much mention of APVs to consider. Here are a few and they are VV/VW, the automation will help cover some mistakes: SVD, SVD 2.0, MVP 20W, VAMO V5, Itaste VV V3, IPV Mini, there are others, but each is slightly different.

A couple require batteries to be inserted, therefore requiring a charger, but others have an internal battery that is charged like a cellphone.

Happy vaping!

Just Remember,

Fresh juices need to steep a few days before they taste right,but if it aint good on your first pull just leave it there.



I went the other route, I went completely away from tobacco flavors and went towards Liquor and custard flavors....


It makes them stinkies taste just THAT much worse.


Redundancy....I carry a mechanical mod for simplicity, a cheap VV/VW mod for checking my batterys charge (was actually main mod till I discovered how bad it really vapes.....but I keep it as a spare) 2 18650 batteries, 2 tanks and 2 flavors of juice at all time.....You need a backup in case your main gear suffers a failure.

Your gonna get to the point where you might think about upgrading your gear. I always keep everything tucked away for those "Murphies Law" days. If I give away anything its always the backup of the backup.....

GLWQ....


Try a good custard flavor......

Try the Halo Liquids.

I find their flavored tobacco flavors very balanced.

Thanks for all of the support and encouragement. I haven't had a Stinkie in 28 1/2 hours.
I still haven't turned into a ...... (for which the Wife is really grateful).
I sure hope that my eJuice order arrives at my Vape shop soon.
They said they'd PM me on FB when it came in (I'm still looking for my ADV).
