Hi Guys,sorry for the long intro.
My name is Julian and I recently started following this forum and find myself very drawn to the topics and discussions here. I still smoke cigarettes, but want to quit. I have a Twisp Clero 2 that I used for a while but gave up on it. I recently tried out a friends reg mod with cultivap mango on ice and did not cough at all. I was very impressed and have decided to give the vaping thing another try. Any ideas where to start in getting myself a reg mod and juice. I smoke between 5 to 10 cigarettes a day. Marlboro beyond blue 0.8 mg nicotine.
I have to quit cigs for health reasons.

Welcome to the forum @juliannaidoo.jn
Youve come to the right place for advice on how to quit the stinkies with vaping!
Firstly, congrats on wanting to give vaping another chance.
All it takes is a bit of investigation and trial and error to find the right setup for you and the right juices.
Then it will be plain sailing. As has been the case with many members here on the forum.
In order for us to give you further advice, it would probably be best if you give us some more info - for example:
- Do you like a mouth to lung draw (like cigarettes - tightish) - first in the mouth, then inhale - or do you think you will prefer a direct lung draw - ie straight inhaling into the lungs. The devices for these two styles are different so its important to know
- What is your approximate budget?
All the best and let us know how it goes...

Welcome to the forum @juliannaidoo.jn
Your vaping style (mtl or dl) will also influence the nicotine strength of the juice that will suit you best.
So, once you have made a decision regarding your style of vaping, try out juices with different nicotine strengths.

Thanks for the info and welcome guys, @Silver, I tried my friends direct to lung device, it was set at 50w and for the first time I didnt cough and really enjoyed it. I have a Twisp Clero 2 that I tried using and quoting but found the draw too tight. I'm in the Jhb North, Olivedale area, any vape shops that you might recommend I visit? I don't want to spend allot on my first Mod, what to experiment and find out what works for me, so under R500 for a mod, or any second hand that I can get my hands on.

Thanks, @ddk11979. I have been reading allot about vaping recently. Will try out a few juices once I get a mod. Want to try out the Cultivape mango on ice that my friend had. I used to dilute the Twisp 8mg with twisp zero, but since they stopped making the twisp zero I stopped using the clero 2.

Ok good to hear @juliannaidoo.jn
What setup did your friend have that you liked? Do you know what tank it was?
Was it a rebuildable tank? Or did it use commercially available coils?
Hi Silver, not sure what tank he had. I think it was a regulated mod. Dont think it was a rebuilbable tank as he is also new to vaping. What would you suggest I get? I always coughed trying direct to lung devices, this was the first time that I enjoyed vaping, the taste of the cultivape mango on ice was incredible.

I think you should ask your friend what he had - might be a good idea to get that.
Also, if you had an incredible experience on that juice then I suggest get it too. Find out from your friend what nic strength he had as well. Probably 3mg.
As for the tank, there are quite a few options in the commercial coil area. I am not too familiar with all the new ones these days because I havent bought one for years.
You are in Olivedale, I would probably suggest taking a trip to VapeKing Fourways - its not very far from you I think - they have a flagship store there - just check out their website - and they have experienced folk that can help you to pick something to get you going. Just check if they have the juice too - am not sure about that.
There are other shops but I just can't think offhand now of shops in the Randburg area.
Thanks alot for the help Silver. I will check with my friend and also go to Vapking to try out some mods to see what suits me.

Hi everyone.
I have been vaping for about a year and a half now. Just joined ecigssa recently. I am currently using an Asmodus Lustro with a Drop Dead RDA. Loving the set up, been running with it for about 2 months now. I have been through a lot of vape gear in my year and a half. Had single battery mods, dual battery, para-series 4 battery mods. Had sub ohm tanks, RTAs RDAs RDTAs. Had a squonker, a mech tube. A stacked 18650 mech tube. One thing I know nothing about is pod systems, and I was wondering if you guys and girls could give me some advice:
- how is the flavour compared to regular vapes
- what nic salts nicotine strength gives the same hit as 3mg normal nicotine strength.
- refillable pods vs premade pods
- is it cost saving compared to normal vaping
Reason I'm looking for a pod system is for convenience when I'm in town and to cut down on the amount of juice I'm currently using (60ml in 2 days)

Welcome to the gang!
Can not give advice on pod systems and would personally stay away from nic salts but then again each must do as they please.
Why not try DIY juice making? Its not difficult and saves you a fortune. Go through about 200ml per week myself and would not be able to do that on commercial juice.
In any case, welcome and feel free to ask and share. Members here are alway helpful and no request is ever ignored.
Cheers!
Welcome @VapeFTW and congrats on the vaping!
I like your username - Vaping for the win!
I am also not that experienced on the pod systems so cant advise you on the better ones. But there are several reviews on the forum in the reviews category - go check it out.
I dont think its easy to get the same kind of flavour or intensity of vape from a pod system compared to a higher powered rebuildable. However if you pick the juice correctly, you can get a great vape thats very economical. I keep a simple evod1 with 18mg normal nic juice in it for out and about and it works well for me. I find the flavour on fruity menthols with extra menthol added gives it a decent and respectable flavour despite the low power
