Hello ladies and gents
I thought I would write a post of what I experienced from doing the switch from the awful cigs to the nectar of the gods.
When I first decided to ditch the cigarettes and give vaping a bash. I was at first very apprehensive. ( was the fear of not smoking cigs again) so I bought a cheap crappy vape pen to try with. ( don't know if it was because I didn want to spend hundreds of rand on a vape pen that if i didn like would never use again or if I was secretly hoping I would not like it and just stay chained to my camel lights) and of course the vape pen failed and clogged and the battery lasted for about an hour and had to be charged. All in all it was pathetic. So I was back on the cigs.
I then decided to do some research and see what went wrong or if anyone else had experienced the same thing. And I found this forum. And it soon became my go to manual on all things vape in South Africa. So if you find yourself here you are on the right track.
Now after reading some great articles on the forum I quickly decided to spend some money and get something decent. Found vape king on the interweb and bought myself a innokin itaste mvp2 and that was it. I was hooked. I never picked up a cig since the delivery of the
Mvp
Now when I first started vaping properly it was so good.
I did however experience "teething" problems. Like
Sore throat ( found that high pg oil mixes which is the most common of oil. Is rather harsh on my throat. Quickly learned to cut it with some veg glycerin)
Dry mouth and nose. ( you have to increase your water intake to at least 2.5 liters a day for men and for ladies 2.5 liters as well. Gender equality is important)
Light headedness after to much vaping ( down to the high nicotine mixes I was vaping. So if you are going to vape 12 mg or higher I found it not a good idea to have your device glued to your face. Unless you are like a rare few who have built up a massive nicotine tolerance.
I am glad to report though that these problems ( more of quirks ) do get rectified if you keep at vaping so take heart and vape on.
Another thing I must add is that vaping is a very personal thing. It's like cigs if everyone liked the same thing there would be so many different brands. Vaping is much the same. Not everyone Likes the same oil or device. So the main thing is to find your happy place. And it will come with a lot of trial and error but don't give up. You will find the ideal ejuice mix for you and device set up.
So in all if you have had bad experiences with vaping don't just give up. you might even have a few cheeky cigs along the way. But when you do find your sweet spot ( and you will) oh man is it good.
