Awesome! Keep it up. If after a few weeks you are tempted to have a stinky, by all means do! Two puffs and you will know for sure you never want to smoke again.So excited to have found this forum. I started vaping a few months ago, to quit smoking, and what an experience... I have tried this a few times before, but it never stuck. But now, with all the Flavors, better Vapes, and enough nicotine content, I did it. And I didn't have to force it either, it just happened naturally. Isn't that just amazing? I currently have a GeekVape S100, with a Vandy Vape Berserker V2 MTL rebuildable tank atomizer. My favorite vape juice right now is a mixture of Hardwicks Calamity and Very Ice, it kinda reminds me of an old-time favorite I used to light up. I love kitchen witchery, and all things magical. For now, I want to start exploring mixing my own Vape Juice, using a bit of magic .... It will start as a hobby, but who knows where it could lead? I want to write down my recipes, come up with cool names for the juices, and design my own labels. So any advice with regards to my hobby would be greatly appreciated. View attachment 247591
Well Sparkles, you could not have found a better place to be. Welcome.Henlo Frens
TLDR : I want to learn more about all aspects of vaping and contribute to the conversation !
Most people CallMeSparkles ...lol
I am 24 years old currently and I got into vaping about 3 months ago in October of 2021 when a family stopped smoking and then chose to stop vaping.
I started smoking like most of us do , parents smoke, grandparents smoked. Got in with the nerdy kids at school. They started smoking , I decided to also start smoking. I was 14 back then. I attempted to stop a few times after finishing high school to no prevail.
I used to believe all the myths surrounding vaping, before I knew better, and I had quite an elitist attitude toward vaping thinking smoking was the more "hardcore" of the two. All that changed when a family member started vaping about 2 years ago. They don't live in SA so we often video call one another and one day I noticed that they were using a device I had recognized but knew nothing about. After they explained the details I was quite rude and discouraging about it (elitist attitude) but it planted a seed and I started to do some research. I first just YT'd vaping and that was a terrible idea if you don't know what to look for. Finally I found the articles and information by the Royal College of Physicians and I was convinced after that.
I did more research about devices by watching reviews on YT , checking this forum actually , and other places online. I took what I had left in my account and went and got 3 vapes (I convinced my 2 other family members to switch/try it as well). My reasoning was that I would spend the money on smokes anyway.
I chose a simple pod mod to start but one with a screen cos I like numbers lol and since getting it and filling it I didn't feel the need for a cig. I encountered a few leakage problems as I had bought the incorrect vape juice (70/30) but the coils fitted were rated for (50/50) juices according to the manufacturers website. Once that was sorted it was smooth sailing.
After a month of vaping I wanted to cut down on costs a bit more and one of the biggest things mentioned was DIY juices. The family member started DIYing so I was once again convinced it would be the best way for me to expand my new found hobby and keep me off cigs. I checked online a bunch more and went with base liquids + 2 one shots and I haven't been happier since but I want to know more !
Apart from all that I really hope to learn a lot from the members on the forum and I hope I can add to the conversation in a meaningful way. Thank you for reading

So glad I found the community!!!
First time vaper here. Will be spreading the word of this forum. Went on holiday and decided to start vaping because I don't always want to smoke a whole cigarette.
Off to bad start with my purches of a big device (Voopoo Drag Max 177W). I'm on my second coil with leakage into the mouthpiece. This is so unpleasant!!!! Now I just want to get rid of this vape and get a smaller one.

Already happened, and I was just "nope, this ain't nice at all"Awesome! Keep it up. If after a few weeks you are tempted to have a stinky, by all means do! Two puffs and you will know for sure you never want to smoke again.
Keep us posted please!

I will make use of the generous offer for advice, thank you so much, and once I have it figured out, I will pay it forward with some recipes I come up with. This is really such a great and supportive community, I should have moved over to vaping years ago. I haven't had so much fun with smoking, well in ever, not even when I was sneaking around as a teen, and that was the fun bit then, as a grown-up, well having to sneak a smoke once in a while isn't half as much fun as when I was 16....Welcome to the community @The Golden Cauldron. We have several threads dedicated to noob mixers and you can benefit from great advice by our fine masters! You’re also welcome to share some of your magical concoctions recipes, at least the ones you experimented with successful results
Hi,
First tried vaping around 10 or so years ago (judging from the expiry dates on the juice I found in the garage ).
Anyway I tried an Ego-T with various atomizers and mods.
Think I managed 2 days completely smoke free.
Recently decided to try again and man what an evolution in technology.
Old vape and new side by side...

Yup, Thank you. Still trying to figure out why 200w when I can not find 200w pods/coils anywhere?Congrats @AstroT and welcome to the community. You haven't seen anything yet!
Congratulations @AstroT and welcome to the community.
The vast percentage of vapers vape way below 100 W. The 200W + mods are dual or triple battery mods and are bought for battery life rather than wattage abilities.
The Voopoo PnP Pod Tank that you are using was a revelation to several of us that have been vaping for a number of years. It's easy to use and produces good flavour. Some users complain that they can leak but I have only had some condensation issues. I don't know if you are aware that you can rebuild coils for your tank. Instead of paying R70 per coil, you can rebuild them easily for about R11. If you want to know more just ask. I noticed that you are vaping at 57W so the rebuildable coils will work for you.
I would love more info on rebuilding the coils thank you for the advise and assistance.
Also currently vaping throat to lung 6mg/ml juice but think I may need to either try something stronger or salt
