Lol thanks. Its been a pleasurable experience thus far.
cool @Tiny_Ninja
Welcome @Keith Milton
Best of luck getting off the cigs. It's a bit of a struggle but it is definitely worth it. Vaping itself is much more than just a smoke replacement
Don't be afraid to ask if you need anything, there's always someone willing+able to help on here

Welcome @Marshan GAjanand
Enjoy your new hobby
Soon you probably won't enjoy cigars anymore - vaping is just that much better than anything combustible
And if you look into NET you can probably find a juice that will be similar to the cigar taste

Welcome @Ashley A
Well done on kicking the cigs...8+ months of vaping is a great achievement
You seem to have take a nice leisurely pace through the various stages of vaping, glad it has worked out for you and hope that going forward it will be just as rewarding
Enjoy participating on the forum

Hi All
The names Viashen from JHB, i was never a very heavy smoker so gave it up completely now.
Attempted Vaping for about a year now on and off
I finally got some starter kits so want to do it properly now
I have a eVic with an eVic Easy head and Aspire Nautilis tank
I also have a X6 Mod Kit on it's way
I even have some Mechanical Mods i believe it's called but i kinda went overboard when i was shopping around lol
Only juice i really tried was Hengthavorn Blueberry but not sure how it ranks amongst the other brands
I have plenty Liqua Brand juice but also not sure about that
Anyone from Alberton, Meyersal Area by any chance
Welcome to the forum @Viashen and congrats on giving up the stinkies
Never heard of Hengthavorn juices. Have heard of hangsen though.
You should check out the e-liquid reviews threads. Most of those juices are locally available and we have some really great juices available locally these days.
All the best.
Ps - Am pretty sure there are quite a few forum members from the Alberton area

Welcome @Viashen
Best of luck with vaping take 2
Stick to it and it will be a very rewarding change.
Enjoy your incoming vape mail, we've all been there - no shame in buying like a crazy person, it's part of the fun
Thanks Free3dom
Lol yeah i really want this to be the be all and end of of smoking
One silly question but i know this might not be the right place
On my Joyetech eVic with Easy Head and Aspire Nautilus tank i get this burn at the back of my throat then if i hold it upwards it sometimes doesn't burn
I'm using 0MG Hengthavorn Blueberry Flavour and the Mod is in Unrestricted mode
Could it be the coil perhaps or maybe the flavour ?
Thanks Silver
I want to attempt making my own but will get there eventually i think lol
The most popular one i see on all websites is the Liqua so i got some but haven't got around to trying them out yet
I suppose it's all about trial and error and finding the ones you like and dislike
I have a lot to learn
Thanks Free3dom

The burning can be due to various factors. The coil and/or flavour can definitely cause this. The power level usually also plays a part - using too high a power setting can sometimes evaporate the juice in the wick faster than it can re-saturate which causes the wick to burn and you actually get smoke
You should taste when this happens though - it's horrible Some flavours are just naturally more harsh due to the ingredients used and may cause some burning. Also, when first starting out your throat may just need some time to get used to the vapour (especially if it is warm) and the burning should subside fairly soon.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "hold it upwards", but it could be that the coil is not wicking properly and if you change the way you hold the device it wicks better...but I'm really just guessing here
My advice would be to first lower the power level and see if the problem persists. Next try some other flavour - you'd have to then also use a new coil since the old one will still contain traces of the previous juice. If the problem persists, maybe just give it a day or two and see if it goes away.
If none of this works, then perhaps you should pop into a store (Vape King has two branches in JHB) and have someone take a look at your setup, and/or try out some devices/juices they have in store
Thanks Silver

Indeed
The juice journey is a long, never ending one in my view
And the choices available are growing all the time
My suggestion to you is to try two juices from multiple brands, both locally manufactured and international juices
Also go for cheaper sample sizes if possible. Then you can try out more juices without it costing a fortune
You need to sample quite wide to find your preference
Its a fun journey and probably the part of vaping that I enjoy the most - ie firing up a new juice for the first time.

This actually makes a lot of sense
By holding it up i meant holding the device parallel to your body if that makes sense
That sounds like a good idea, pop in and meet the guys and get some advise on voltage and flavour and settings etc etc
Great community over here i must say

Definitely, you can't go wrong with meeting the vendors, from my experience they are all fantastic and very helpful people
Holding parallel to the body is in fact the intended way to do it as the coil is at the bottom of the device - which means that holding it with the tip upward ensures that the liquid gets to the coil faster and more consistently
I have some sealed juices at home that i'm itching to try but i filled about 5ML in my tank and it's taking forever to get finished lol
On a side note, how are the Chinese juices like the below ?
Oh and this is the one i have currently

Not sure about the Chinese stuff...they seem very sketchy to me generally
That Hegthavorn is clearly a Liqiua clone...same branding different name
