Howzit Vapers,

I've been browsing this forum for sometime now, thought I'd finally intro myself. I have never smoked cigarettes ever, however I have been heavily into hooka, oka pipe, hubbly or what ever other names there are. I never smoked a pipe in just over a month now. My daily device is an MVP v2 with a Nimbus at 1.6 ohms. My evening device is a Kamry KTS with a Trident at 0.9 ohms.

Looking forward to these exciting new times with my local fellow vapers :D

Big ups to Melinda who recommended this site :)

Hi Rifaat glad that you decided to join, this is an awesome crowd of people, looking forward to your input on the forum...
 
Hi Rifaat - Welcome, good to hear from you. Make yourself right at home. Seems you have advanced quite far down this road already looking at your equipment - a quick and steep learning curve. Vape on mate.

Yeah, I had a Twisp clearo & iTaste vv v3 as well, just not enough clouds for me lol... Its difficult leaving the oka since it had so much smoke, so the rebuildables basically works brilliantly in that department. I have an iClear 30s which I got from Sharief, but waiting for pay day to get some more liquid. I had a Pro tank 2 from Skyblue but just couldn't adjust to that burnt taste every now & then, even after removing flavor wick. Tried micro coils in the Pro tank but kept on gurgling so just gave up lol..

Brilliant, I'm not a cloud chaser, but also do rba (Reomizer2) for it allows met to build and position the coil to suit my vaping needs. Presume you have already enlarged those air holes!?

Yip, all good and done ;) But think I'm getting or have vaper's tongue(read this on ECF I think) because I hardly taste the flavor with my drippers. But with a normal atty I can still sort of taste. Maybe due to the fact I only vape 1 flavor at a time?

Rifaat - My taste buds played havoc with me in the first 2 months or so. The same juice tasted differently from day to day. Seems to have stabilised now. Drank (still do) quite a lot of water in between. Some peeps say you should vape unflavoured juice if this happens or give it a longer break in between (difficult for a chain vaper like me). With the drippers maybe go a bit higher with your ohms and get your coils closer to the floor and further away from the posts.
 
Thanks again gents & ladies for all the warm welcomes. Very loving community (BBM hug)

Cannot say to much about SA as a whole though... maybe the country should start vaping? Then we would have more shared interest such as this forum :rolleyes:
 
Hi all,

Ive been on the site for about a week or so, but havent formally introduced myself yet.

I am from JHB and work in the financial services industry.

Funny how things turn out. I had a goal for 2013 to stop smoking. Been smoking for about 16 years. About a month ago i bought a Twisp Clearo and to my amazement i really liked it. For about a week, i smoked real cigs and my Twisp, but found myself spending more and more time on the Twisp and less on the real cigs. One day i didnt have a real cig, the next day i tried one and felt nauseous. From then i havent touched a real cig. Its been nearly a month now and i cant believe how easy its been not to smoke real cigs and vape instead. So amazingly, i may just be able to tick that goal off. I never thought i would become a vaper instead.

The past few weeks have been a real eye opener for me. The vaping journey has just begun and i am loving it.

This forum has been super. All you guys and girls are great and friendly. Thank you. I look forward to checking in and seeing what has been posted and i find the forum insightful and entertaining. I hope it grows from strength to strength.

In case you're wondering what my picture to the left is. Its a photo i took in Rome earlier this year. Its of the Colosseum. I actually spent about 4 hours there to try get the perfect picture and took so many from different angles and from daylight through sunset into the evening. This one is my best...

Another snippet - my nickname is Silver1. It comes from the nickname my friends gave to my motorbike back in the days. It was called SilverAngel.
 
Thanks Derick. Will place an order tmrw for some of those HC flavours and have my first go at dIY mixing :)
 
Cool. Melinda and I have done a lot of mixing, so if you need any help give us a shout.

All I can recommend for now is to get yourself a syringe or two, so that you can measure exactly and secondly to work in a well ventilated area, those flavours are quite strong and can linger in a room for quite a while
 
Hi Silver, we've met and already talked some, so this is just the formal welcome!
 
Thanks for the advice Derick, will do

And thanks Andre for the formal welcome ;-)
