Introduce Yourselves:

Couple of posts in but I think it is time to introduce myself.

Some of you may know me from the I AM VAPE AFRICA group on Facebook but either way.

About 3 months of cigs now. Current setups include Billow V2, Plume Veil, iStick 50W, eGo One, and a Snow Wolf.

Love this not only as a healthy alternative to smoking but also as a hobby and social interaction method. Met some really cool people so far. Love it.

Welcome to the forum @Maxxis
Congrats on the 3 months off the stinkies
Great gear you have!
Enjoy your stay. We have a great place here

I actually own 2 eGo Ones and about 4 tanks for them. The mini is super nice as a stealthy vape. Lasts quite a good amount of time on a charge and produces a really good vape. I use mine almost exclusively in the car and when out and about. I don't like carrying a big mod to the shops. Unless it's to the vape shop.

They do have some issues though. They leak at the strangest times. Always through the air vents at the bottom. No biggy as it is easy to clean and fairly minor.
 
Salutations to all on here, been meaning to swing by this forum to see what all the fuss is about. After doing gold plating mods for owners of e-cigs got me thinking to put my tabaco aside and try the e-smoke myself. And so the journey begins!

Wow, gold plating - we need to see some of those mods. Where are the owners hiding?
Most welcome to the forum. Do shout if you have any questions.
Happy vaping.

Ok fantastic I want one for the same reason as an on the go that I can use anywhere and everywhere without worrying bout a huge mod. The leaking is just something that happens I guess.

Couple of tips with it.
1. Don't let the tank get too hot when vaping. Seems to cause some leaking as the coil builds up pressure.
2. Don't let the juice level get too low.
3. Lock the damn thing. Had mine fire in my pocket. It burns like a mofo.
4. Make sure the o-rings are always on the top and bottom of the coil
5. When opening the tank to refill, tighten the coil. Watch out to not pop the o-ring off.

Happy vapes otherwise.

The Ego One gives a great vape imo. Vaped on a friend's one. He also complained about the leaking from the air slots. If you can live with that - a good acquisition. Personally, I do not want an atomizer leaking in my pocket.

Will keep that in mind and check out a few more options before I buy. Thanks

Smoking was always something that I considered to be very cool and I was always fascinated by smoking and the sort of instant sex appeal and allure it added to the blandest of individuals. You know when you are young that is way more important than any health risks or smelly consequences. Unfortunately I was never able to smoke. It made me horribly sick and despite my best efforts it just would not agree with me.


So I think it was somewhere earlier this year that my other half decided to buy a cheap twisp like device. Keeping in mind that he was once a smoker, this was quite concerning to me as I thought that this would eventually lead to him lighting up the smokes again… When he explained to me that there was nothing really harmful in it (0mg) I was very eager to try it for myself, but still weary of reliving a very unpleasant episode. I was however powerless against the sweet symphony of flavours enchanting my nose every day and I eventually succumbed.


I bought myself something similar to what he had, but in pink of course. It wasn’t long before he got bored with the device and upgraded to something a bit more substantial. When I saw the amount of vapour he was producing I was totally mesmerized and knew that I was officially hooked. I also wanted to create art. Think a vape cloud is just the most beautiful thing.


I currently have the ego one mini, which is awesome. I can’t believe the amount of vapour that comes out of such a small device. I initially said I would never buy a box mod as it is too big and bulky, but I must admit after seeing the 50w Istick in pink I might just change my mind… o and the Kangertech subox mini in white is not too shabby at all. Just need to add a few pink seals to girly-it-up.

We as vapers don't like to encourage people to start vaping unless they're trying to get off smoking, but your case seems different. Well done to you both on deciding to Vape instead of going back to cigarettes.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it :)

Ps. Have you seen the upcoming Kangertech Subox Nano? It's coming in pink and purple :D

Welcome to the forum @Absolem
Thanks for the lovely and detailed introduction
Wishing you well for your vape journey!
Enjoy your stay and feel free to ask questions
 
Hi guys. New vaper here and thought I would join the forum, say hello and use the collective knowledge from the community. Quit smoking a while ago and have loved the vaping. Just got myself an Ileaf Istick 40W along with a nautilus mini tank. Really enjoying getting the true tastes from some of the quality juice out there.
@MJ INC welcome aboard, wish vapeing was invented 30 yrs. ago it's the best.
 
Afternoon guys, jus saying hello, new to the whole Vaping/E.Cig world, been of the smokes for a week now, reading through the forum looks like a made a rookie mistake straight of the bat and bought a twisp :hit:.... But hey its working so far, although i am having huge issues with the horrible bitter taste in my mouth, if someone can direct me to a link that deals with this issue i would apprecite it.
Hi guys,

semi-new to all this.

Started with a TWISP, got an ESAM-T battery with a Kangertech F-MOW atomizer. That broke recently so I decided to do it properly (well sort of) and get a CF mod and a Subtank Mini.

With my CF mod I chose an LG 3200mAh 3.7v battery. I am looking to buy another battery as a spare, can anyone recommend anything better for my CF mod?

Only got my new gear today so looking forward to vaping the NCV Frooloops I picked up from Vape Cartel East Rand.

Looking forward to advice and insightful discussions!
@Lucian Rajah welcome to the forum LGs are all I use they are a good choice

Well I'm new here. Last year on 27 May I bought a Twisp dual pack and went cold turkey on cigarettes. I had been smoking at least a pack per day, if I ended up at a bar at night it could be three or four packs. It took about six months for me to move on to an MVP 2.0 and Nautilus Mini, which is when I also started trying out the premium imported brands. There were two that I really liked but for the most part I wasted far too much money on these juices.

About two months later I moved to the Atlantis and Smok XPro BT50, which I've been using since. I also tried the Kayfun v4, but it's just too inconvenient for me so I quickly moved back to the Atlantis. I have not touched a cigarette since the afternoon of 27 May 2014 and would rather chew glass than smoke again.

@Nick it's great to be off smokes.I read on line awhile back about apple cider vinegar.Great for vape tongue and what ever ails you, one tbsp.per day.

Greetings all new members and established members alike.

Stefan here AKA StevoStevo. I'm 25 YOA, originally from SummerSet West, now living in Hermanus.

I have been smoking hand-rolled tobacco since 2010 (not long i know) but within that time it's taken it's toll on my body, I estimate to have smoked roughly 2.5 x 50g packets a month. If current calculations are correct that's a total of 6.875kgs worth, which as you can imagine has had dramatic effects...

I had learnt about E-cigarettes in 2013, bought myself an Ego CE5 but everything about it, besides the flavors, was rather unsatisfactory and lead to my, near immediate relapse into smoking. The chain smoking continued up until the middle of last month when I started having some discomforts. I have since cut down on the smoking significantly but am however not cured of the habit entirely. I have scratched out the old Ego and found that the battery had gone. I rewired to USB and luckily the atties were still usable after a good wash, rewicking and rewiring which BTW, is VERY INTRICATE! This little solution was my only option for the time being as whatever spending money I have has gone into some big orders, all of which besides one, i am still waiting to receive. As you'll see, I've gone all out, the orders are as follows.
