Hi, Long time lurker. Decided to join up. Been thinking of vaping for 2 months. Took the step on Saturday.... Have not had a cancer stick since then.
have an eGo AIO at the moment. If I bought less juice I could've bought the Smok today. But it will have to wait.

Welcome @Slash_DJ !

Don't sweat it! The AIO is a great device to keep as a backup, so even when you upgrade hang onto it for those moments when you need a stealth vape!

Hi,

So I decided to finally do something on the forum after registering for a vape con in Sandton about a year and a half ago.

Started with dreadful eGo knockoffs directly from China about four years ago in an attempt to stop smoking.
Naturally they were nothing like a proper vape we get these days but it was a start.
My first real ecig was an eGo one mega from eciggies in PTA. Knew nothing about 510, coils, ohms law, zip.
I regret not getting the Ijust then but we learn.

Currently my sweet spot is a dual 22awg 7 wrap 3mm build at .2ohms.
(Feel free to criticize :D)
Also recently got into the diy side of the juice, learning with every batch and accuracy matters.

All day vape was a limitless rdta + on a KBox 200 (not what I'd recommend had to physically modify the mod to get it to fit) but I managed to melt the outside of the mod in a failed brassing attempt yesterday.
Thus was snooping around for some brand new secondhand gear.
Meantime I'll 3D print a case for the kbox guts.

Love to tinker often end up breaking, but the journey is what matters most.

P.S. I found the video below pretty awesome if you can bare with the subtitles.

Nice intro, thanks @ChickenMan and welcome. I am fascinated by all diy aspects of the vape world and this forum is a great place to soak up info. And feel free to ask any questions, ecigssa opinions are as plentiful as sand in the Sahara.
Enjoy your stay, looking forward to your contributions

Welcome to all the new members @lawrencevapes, @Slash_DJ , @z3r0 and @ChickenMan
Thanks for your introductions

Congrats on the vaping. Stopping smoking is one of the best things a smoker can do for their long term health.

ECIGSSA is a great place to learn more about vaping, discover new things and interact with other vapers.
The members here are knowledgeable and very helpful. Feel free to ask questions as you go along.

Wishing you all the best with your vaping journey!
 
Hi there.

I'm new to vaping, been learning as much as I can this past week and I'm finally ready to buy my first device.

I'm interested in the Smok G-Prive starter kit, also been looking at second hand Smok H-Priv. I can not wait to get my device.
My first vape was around a year ago when I attended an event called DubRun, I really enjoyed it. Can not remember the kit, but it was bulky and it was a cookies and cream flavour.

Now I'm ready to finally stop the stinkies, been smoking for 21 years and I'm gatvol of it now. Gonna go straight for the 3mg Nicotine Juices and see how I cope. My mindset is prefect for it though.

This forum answered all my vaping questions, thanks for a great forum!

Welcome @DotDubb !

Congrats on deciding to join us on the forum, and with vaping! Neither are a decision you'll regret!

The Smok kits are great. The two you are eyeing out have a slightly steeper learning-curve than other starter kits, but on the plus side you won't need to upgrade after a month! Although you'll probably still be wanting to buy new stuff in a month because that's just the way this vaping thing seems to work! :-D

Congratulations on making the Decision. I might suggest that you get a 6mg juice first to help with the Cravings, then go lower. of buy both so that you can jump to the 6mg when the cravings are bad.

G-Priv with the Big baby Beat is a Rocking startup, you wont regret it!

Have fun and welcome!!
 
Thanks Stosta.

Yes I see that, I've been looking at a lot of posts on this forum, can see how addictive it can get. I do know that u want 2x kits, always nice to have a backup.

I'm not too sure if I must start to build my own coils from the beginning, or just learn how to do it on a later stage when I understand my mod better.

The only thing I don't understand so good yet, is what coils I must buy for the big baby beast. But I'm sure I'll figure it out when I use the coils that comes with the kit.

You have a point, good idea, I will get some stronger nicotine juices just in case.

That list of the 2016 juice winners helped me a lot with what juices I want to get with my startup kit.

I think I might just buy both kits, the new G priv plus the 2nd hand H Priv, the I have a backup kit.

Get something that has commercial coils to start off with, that way if things don't go as planned you will still be able to vape. A tank that can do comm coils AND rebuildable is the best choice, because then you can play at your leisure!

Coil building is really daunting at first, it seems like you're making a bomb, and there so many little questions you'll have, but at the end of the day it really is a very simply process that requires very little information to start (Just be safe at all times).

I can't suggest coils for that tank as I haven't used it, but usually tanks come with one or two of their coil options, so yes, from there you will figure out which one you prefer.
