Introduce Yourselves:

So I popped into vapemob this morning, was told they only getting the istick and nautilus mini in the week so I thought okay let me get something cheap in the meantime, walked in there and walked out 5mins later. Got myself 3 EVO tanks and 3 juices, papa smurf 18mg, litchi 12mg and menthol 0mg. Bill came to 200 odd...their papa smurf is insane...will be going back on Friday to get my goodies. 3 thumbs up to the guys at rosmead ave vapemob!!! Great service

Happy to hear you got sorted out good - nice job VapeMob :D

Unfortunately the iStick + Nautilus is such a popular combo that they do run out of stock every now and then - but at least you have something awesome to look forward to ;)
 
Hi every one, thought I should finally introduce myself.

I'm pretty new to vaping, maybe around 6 months. I was a never smoker but I loved hubbly and it was more of a social thing but since I moved to Somerset West I had no one to share hubbly with until my best friend introduced me to world of vaping and the incredible flavours and all weird and now realized awesome devices out there, I have come to love vaping.
I hope some day soon I can actually buy a Reo because it was one of those game changing moments you experience that drives you to want to know more and eventually actually own one.

I'm more of an observer when it comes to forums, I absorb info and don't really say much but I seem to be quite taken by this community of like minded people and I am very much into it.

I started with a Sigelei 50W with the rose clone and started off building my own coils using 28g with 6 wraps at 1.1 ohms. I've since then been using a Clouper mini and a Kayfun 3.1 which I'm quite happy with. I'm more of a flavour junky but I like a bit of cloud to go with it but I haven't tried sub ohm yet.

I'm so impressed with the flavours I have experienced and most of which were created by my ultimate best friend and were quite impressive due to his obsessive need to know every he can about every interest he has.

I've learnt a lot from this forum and I keep it open all day waiting for updates.

So that's my slice of bacon for now.
 
Welcome @Craig

Sounds like you've been around the vaping block (a few times) - not that new to vaping at all ;)

Very happy to hear that you decided to join us for a chat (or 10)...this community and forum is unlike any other I've ever experienced and I am generally also much more of a lurker on forums - that all changed on here :D

There are an amazing selection of juices available and it's one of the best parts of vaping - there's always something new to vape :)

As a (very) recent Reo convert, all I can say is that this little device does not disappoint - if you like flavour, there's very little (if anything) that can equal it and at the same time it manages to be exceptionally convenient and of exceptional quality. I'm only starting to see the light, and it's quite amazing :D

Enjoy the forum, the vape, and the bacon :p
 
Well, so far, so good.
Still on the same pack of smokes I opened on Friday (Being a pack to 1 1/2 pack per day smoker..) And so far being a normal work day I had one cig for the day (Would have had about 6 by now if I followed normal habbit)
Been playing with Vaping quite a bit (already had to refill the MELO 3 times) but still on the same battery charge I gave the iStick 30W on Friday.
Seriously looking at getting the iStick 50W with an Aspire Atlantis sub ohm tank combo, as a second rig.
Any suggestions on what else to look for?
Next is also to try some new Juices, preferrably not like the ones I bought @ R300 per 30ml. Cheaper every day vape juices are what I'll be looking for now.
So far I've only been to the Vape shop in Melsrose Arch (During work hours seems like my best option)
But I stay in Linden (Randburg) and would like to see what other shops have on offer (I'm normally in the Randburg area by 4:15 if I leave work by 4 as planned and not working late)
Would have liked to visit the Fairlands Vape King, but see they close by 4PM already..?

Great going @Redeemer
You are doing fantastically
Wishing you all the best for your coming weeks

As far as vape gear and juices go - many of us on the forum buy online from the vape retailers registered on this forum. But if you want to see and feel the product before you buy, the choices are a bit limited. I think VapeKing's Parkwood/Parkhurst branch may well be an option. Check out their website

Great going @Redeemer :clap:

Literally every smoke you avoid is a step in the right direction so you are doing splendidly :D

Instead of the Atlantis I would rather recommend giving the Kangertech Subtank a go - it's very similar to the Atlantis, but with one big difference - in addition to pre-built coils, it comes with a base on which you can build your own. This will come in handy when that bug eventually bites you (and I'm betting it will be sooner rather than later) ;)

As @Silver said, ordering online is probably the best alternative, and definitely affords you the largest selection. I've lost the place I posted a pamphlet I made with the various vendors so I will attach it here again :)

Give the local juices a try - they are usually in the R100 to R150 range and some of them are as good or better than the imported expensive juices. It's a bit of a ride to find the juices you like, but it's worth the trouble and very interesting too :D

NOTE: there is a new store I haven't had time to add yet:

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen found this forum a couple of weeks ago never knew such a great South African Vaping forum existed. I was always very active in two of the biggest American forums since I started Vaping. So I was pleasantly surprised to find such a great Vaping forum for South Africans! :clap:
I was looking around and reading the forum for about two weeks now and finally decided to join. As you can see from my signature I maybe a Noobie Vaper on here but definitely not by far a Noobie to Vaping at all and in that time I never ever fell off the wagon the last Cancer Stick I had was on the 16th of October 2010. :D
I use to smoke a pack and half a day sometimes more and I started smoking at the age of 14.
I can still remember the day I stopped like it was yesterday I was sitting in the garden and I was Vaping at that stage still one of those Electronic Cigarettes that looked like a cigarette. I had the eCig in the one hand and a Winston in the other hand Vaping and smoking at the same time when I just decided it's ridiculous it's time for the Winston's to go! :(
I went into the house and fetched my last nearly full box of Winston's broke it up in the toilet and flushed it away. I can with all honesty say I never looked back again. I never had a reason or even the desire to stop smoking I never coughed and never got sick not even a common cold and if I did get the flu it was usually gone within 24hrs.
So why did I stop smoking you would ask. The plain and simple truth is I'm more addicted to gadgets I think than I've ever been to Cigarettes so yes being a Gadget addict saved me from the bad habit of smoking!;)
So there my journey into the world of Vaping started. But that I will leave for another time it was and is still quite a journey but one that I really enjoy! I have lots of experiences and stories to share about my Vaping journey and will from time to time share it with you only if I did not bore you to death already! :rock:
 
How would a Kanger Sub Mini do @ R700?
I see that's all that's available from the Vape shop in Melrose Arch unfortunately....
Still awaiting a reply from the Vape King shop in Parkhurst's side on their trading hours, so I can go pop in there and see what they stock
 
That's quite expensive, almost double what most of the vendors on this forum sell them for.

Skyblue just restocked on subtanks. Check them and the other vendors out before you buy.

Sent while vaping on Okkum my Smok M80
 
Will just have to do my research on shops I can walk into and see what I buy..
so far Vape King seems like my most logical option, but my weekends tend to be hectic busy, limiting where I can go.
So any shop that's open till 5pm at least, between Melrose Arch and Randburg will get a visit asap

Welcome to the forum @Vapor-Caper
Wow, its rare to see someone that has been vaping for that long. Congrats on sticking with the vaping.
You did not bore us at all with your intro. Its lovely to see someone take the time to share their experience and I can identify with it.
Hope you enjoy your stay. We have a great place here.
 
Welcome @Vapor-Caper

Going on 5 years...well bloody done :rock:
And someone else that writes as much as I do :wasntme: you are very welcome here :D

Looking forward to hearing some tales from the annals of vaping - perchance even some pictures of rare and long forgotten devices :rofl:;-)

This forum and community is amazing and I'm sure you'll feel right at home here ;)

But before you spread your wings into the wide open forum...would you share with us your current favourite gear - just curious where a seasoned vaper such as yourself has ended up :nerd:

Enjoy, and don't be a stranger :)

PS: You may change you status message to "Vape Jedi" :p

Hi my name is J.P.
Got ditected here from a Biking forum of all places! Got interested in looking at Vaping again, since I tried the first Quit eCigs back in the day from Dischem, and build quality and flavour left much to be desired...
Found a vendor in Melrose Arch, right by work, and decided to go have a look..
Ended up walking out with an iLeaf iStick 30w with a Eleaf MELO and two bottles of juice, Ruthless E-Juice's EZ DUZ IT and SLURRICANE
Will be cutting back on the Stuivesants and hopefully make the transition over very soon!

Shot in at Vape King Fairlands and met Luke, very informative and knowledgeable guy indeed!
Got a Kanger SubTank (wow this thing takes ALOT of juice!) and an iStick 50W to fire it up... Vape heaven! Half filled it with Gummiberry juice for now, and man it hits the spot.
Also got an assortment of juices that suits my taste, loads of oorganic cotton, 20G and 28G Kanthal (all for when I rebuild the first OCC coil) and a pack of OCC coils to have extras if I need one and don't have time for a build, and finally a carry pouch for my new setup so it wont rattle around in my backpack on the bike.
Soooo, seems now... I'm VAPING!!!
