Introduce Yourselves:

Welcome to the forum @Jack, well done on starting your vaping journey! I think a lot of people start on Twisp (me included) because it's the most well known to us newbies when wanting to make the switch from stinkies :) As your journey continues you will most definitely want to upgrade to better gear, but if the twisp is keeping you happy and away from those dreaded stinkies, then have fun with it :) Also, in my experience, don't be afraid to try out all the different flavours, it's great to experiment! Rock on dude!!! :rock:
 
Welcome aboard @Jan Bike and congrats on being our 500th member! I have to agree on everything @Silver said!

I'm also an old baalie from way back and used to smoke 40-60 stinkies a day for 42 years! Changing to vaping has been a life changing event and I haven't looked back since! I'[m in the process of reducing my nicotine intake by slowly reducing the concentration over time... started on 18mg and quickly changed to 12mg which I used for some time... recently reduced to 9mg and some 6mg juice was delivered today.
 
I'm Jack. I'm trying to vaporise myself. Don't know if I have the right equipment tho.
I'm in Jozi and very very new to this. Please be gentle. Hehehe.
I use a Twisp at the moment.

Welcome @Jack
All the best for trying to vaporise yourself! Never heard it put that way - but it sounds cool
Nothing wrong with Twisp. I started on it too and it got me off smoking. You can read my views on Twisp here
Enjoy the forum - it's a great place
 
Welcome @Jack , before you know it, you'll spend more time on this forum than on Google.
 
Hi All Phanatik here from CPT

I'm new to vaping and have had terrible experiences up till now. I really don't know where to start with all the different tanks, clearo's, carto's mod this mod that!!!

I just want a quality ecog that will give me lots of flavour and lots of smoke, like a mini-hubbly, lol.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 
welcome @phanatik, like just discussed i'm sure someone on here will be able to give you help you require :) I'm sure you will soon find the right equipment and start your happy vaping journey! So horrible that you had to start off with such a bad experience and good on you for wanting to continue on the vaping path after all that :rock:
 
well, i started to hate the smell of the stinkies on my hands, clothes and breath...

Thats a good sign - where are you situated in SA, this will help other members to advise you more properly?
 
it's natural to feel a bit overwhelmed haha, but i promise before long you'll feel like an expert :)
 
I'm in Cape Town... and feeling really overwhelmed... there are names and brands of devices that i've never heard of or seen...
Believe me I know!! Spend some time hanging around the forums, play on the retailer websites, and if ever in doubt, ask away! We have plenty pro's that can help!
 
Welcome @phanatik
Firstly, congrats on making a start - even though it was not a good one - you are onto it - and onto something good.

The choice of first time equipment is debatable - but you need something that is reliable and gives a decent vape. You definitely need 2 devices. (Two atomisers and two batteries). So you can have two flavours running and so you can have a backup if one fails or runs out of battery charge. And you need enough budget to try several juices to see what you like.

There are several options to choose from. Instead of recommending a particular make and model, I can tell you what I found to be a great combination. My Vision Spinner 1300 mah battery and the Kangertech mini Protank 2. I have two of these and five months on, they are still working very well. I'd suggest you get something along these lines...

All the best for your vaping journey!
 
I was first told that the eGO CE5 is the way to go, then someone told me to get a Kangertech stuff.... but they have all these different tanks and stuff...
 
@phanatik may I suggest you make contact with some of the local Cape Town senior members and let them show you what are available and advise you on the right equipment etc.
 
@Silver is 100% on the money! Vision Spinner 1300 mah battery and the Kangertech mini Protank 2. No question the best place to start despite what any shop keeper tells you!

If the shop or online shop you are going to buy from has the Protank Mini 3 then even better!

You don't have to but there are a couple of REO forums you may want to join on ECF for research... However there are number of REO experts right here on ecigissa that will give you all the advise you could ever need without having to read a bazillion messages first. @Matthee is my guru REO man that has guided me on my road to Vaping Nirvana! And there are a few other REO experts (won't name them all) here that will always be on hand to help!
