Introduce Yourselves:

Hi Guys

im new to the world of vaping still finding my feet trying to figure out this new world, much more complicated than cigarettes, but im enjoying it
Ey Mza, welcome... Im also still new, but remember one thing..if you want advice just ask...all these guys on this forum is absolutely helpful, always.
 
Hi all.

Just signed up last week. Moved from analogues to vaping just over 3 years ago. Started off on a good old eGo-T, then added a Protank III, then moved onto the twisp range and finally moved up to an iJust S a couple of weeks ago. Whole new (3mg) world opened to me. Twisp was great as a convenience, but so glad I've moved on to something with a little more oomph. Just got some Complex Chaos Mallowshake and Freaky Loops which I'm dying to try, but got a tank full of Cosmic Fog Nutz at the moment.

Hobbies include: Scale model car building, gaming (on PC and Xbox) and photography.

Welcome to the forum @FiveStarZA
Congrats on the vaping and glad you found something you like
All the best for your journey from here.
Enjoy
 
Hi. My name is Wynand and I am a nicotine addict.

I started smoking very young and thus have been smoking at least a packed of 20 for the last 10-12 years. In that time i have stop smoking a few times but never longer than 4 months.

I had a twisp for a while but it did not last. At this point in my life I am ready to leave the smokes behind for good. I were referred to this site by a member of another unrelated forum called wild dogs adventure riding. I have not started vaping as of yet but will dive into this forum to find help full info and tips to help me choose the correct device.

I am very new to this and very uninformed and could use all the help I can get. My aim is to leave smokes in my past and if I can do it cheaper that would be a plus.

Just for reference, I currently smoke a 12mg tar and 1mg nicotine sigarette. I will need something thats capable of handling that need.

For now I think that is all the info you guys and girls need from me. If there is anything else, you are welcome to ask. I will be doing alot of reading and will ask a question from time to time. I will also be stopping at vapemob in willowbridge within the next week to see what is out there and what I need and what is the cost involved.

Thanks for having me.

Welome to the forum @Franky3
Congrats on deciding to investigate vaping as an alternative to smoking

For me it has been just over 3 years smoke free and it has been the best thing I ever did. I too smoked a strong cigarette. Rothmans Blue - more than a pack a day - for nearly 20 years.

What helped me to switch to vaping was to find a great mouth to lung vape (similar action to smoking) with a strong 18mg juice in a flavour that I really loved. I liked the fruity menthols and the tobacco flavours but each person is different.

All the best and let us know how it goes.
Enjoy your stay

Welcome @LeeGov ! That is quite a while you've been on the vape scene!

Love it when a lurker decides to jump into the pit with the rest of us!

As a matter of interest what has kept the stinkines in the picture considering you've been vaping for so long?
@Stosta It's more of a physiological thing, i feel there's something in a cigarette that satisfies a specific craving, I just can't put my finger on it
Also my job stresses me out alot :-( so I tend to reach for that cigarette sometimes :-(

Fair enough, I think for some people the stinkies just have a certain something to them. Hopefully we can help you find what that is and then you can get rid of them once and for all! :campeon:

Franky3, welcom!! Wynand, I also smoked for approximately 25years, that was 25 years to long. I STARTED VAPING 17 days ago an use a witcher from Rofvape. It works very well and almost functions like a mechanical mod but not close so "complicated" I would suggest start of with something simple and then you can upgrade. Just get the mindset right... I still have a packet of smokes in my vehicle with a lighter, but didn't touch it!!! Good luck and start vaping!!

@LeeGov - I know what you mean
For the first month or two after switching completely to vaping, I also felt something was missing.
But that went away after a while
But I hear you. Does take a bit of willpower. That said, the equipment and juice variety available today compared to 3 years ago I think makes it much easier.
 
Howzit guys, my name is Ethan :OOOOOOO:
I've been vaping for about 3 years now and every year that's progressed I've gotten more and more into it :banana:
I've got about 4 mods now with a variety of tanks. Do my own builds and I'm gonna start making my own juice soon then hopefully you guys will get to try it and tell me what you think! :thumbup:
Haven't tried mech mods yet but I'll get into that at one point. I love this platform for the vaping community! Thanks for the brilliant support! Vape on!

Welcome @Ethan katz !

Glad you decided to join us! Three years is a long time for this game, you must have started on the old EVODs or something?
 
Howzit guys, my name is Shaun...:coleman:

I've been vaping for quite a while now. Old faithful twisp device was my poison back then ha ha ha...

I've got 4 mixed and matched devices. Do my own builds , mix my own juice... (Whole 9 yards I guess) Defnitly here to learn a trick or 2 with builds and wicking and...etc:banana:

I still fall off the wagon now and then. More then than now though!:abduct:
 
Sup everyone my names Sean

Started vaping around 2 months ago after about 2-3 years of contemplating getting into it, main reason for avoiding is because I didn't have the money at the time to sustain all the juice I knew I would end up buying
Started vaping to one reduce the chances of me smoking again and two I really wanted to be able to easily smoke ookah without needing to set one up.

I have no began to look into both cloud chasing at tricking to bring some more joy out of it to give me more of a reason to stay away from cigarettes and hopefully will actually achieve something with regards to both but as I said I'm new to the scene and have a long way ahead of me

Besides vaping I have my diploma in mechanical engineering and working towards my degree, currently working at an Industrial Refrigeration design company as a support engineer, enjoy my job and hope to see it progress into something even bigger.

Currently My Builds are all using my Alien 220w and I had the baby beast but quickly went out and bought a Avacado 24 and then bought a clone twisted messes 30mm but didn't quite look right on my mod and recently decided to buy a Troll V2 and I am loving it
Avo 24 for when I'm on the road
Troll V2 for chilling somewhere where I can constantly wick without problems

So thats basically my introduction, I look forward to exploring this new world I'm in and look forward to meeting new friends through it

Cheers :h:

Hello @Franky3 and welcome to the forum. Personally, for new converts, I like to recommend the aspire nautilus mini on a pico mod for a beginner. Its a great mouth to lung tank which best simulates the act of actually smoking a cigarette. It's what worked for me and I still use it on occasion till today.

Hi
My nick is FluffyBunnyFeet, im fairly new to vaping (from last Octbober). Unfortunately i made a huge mistake with buying the eLeaf iJustS. however i am in the market for the Smok Alien.

Hello @SKYWVRD and welcome to the forum. From one mechanical engineer to another... You will surely love the complexities and simplicity of coil building and wire making. A lil but of chemistry know how can get you into DIY juices as well... The possibilities are endless and those long hours spent in boring lectures take on new meaning!!
