Introduce Yourselves:

[Baxteen]

Hi everyone, i'm Dulcis (Pronounced Dull-chis) thanks for having me on the forum.

I'm from the Garden Route, been vaping since the 3rd of March this year as a means to stop smoking. Joined the forum so that I can learn more about the culture and to learn from those with far more experience than i have.

We bought 3 Geekvape L200 (Aegis Legend 2) Classics with the 21700 battery capacity. One in Blue, one in Red and one Rainbow one that came in a kit with the prebuilt coil. The reason we bought 3 is in case one of the others die and didn't want to be stuck without a vape if that happened.
We're thoroughly enjoying vaping and haven't had any issues so far except for figuring out which flavours we enjoy.

great starter kit to go with. I personally went with the smaller one because the 21700 models felt way too big.
a few tips on owning the line of devices:
Charge batteries externally. 3 sets of batteries is ideal. 1 in device 1 on charge and 1 ready to go. that way you can use a slower charger to increase the life of the battery.

Now the reason I moved away from my geekvape. bottom door Hinge is not reliable. be careful with it. its going to start giving you trouble after about 8 months. next up is the little issues with how the atomizer sits inside the sealed device. you have 3 so you likely wont have that issue. but basically if you drop the device at just the wrong angle one of the small screws inside the build deck under the silicone pad can break. if the device shows uneven battery drainage that has happened to you.

next up is get a good Atomizer that you like. I have tried a few. Zeus tanks are great to get started on. dead rabbit is better for flavor. and then there is the Blaze by Thunderhead creations X Mike vape. like the dead rabbit but somehow slightly better. cant put my finger on why. I find myself getting more flavor then the dead rabbit at about 5 watt lower in general.

Wow - I have been vaping for more than 7 years. I had to go check on ECF to find my start date. (13 Dec 2009)

I started sub -ohm vaping on Friday the 13th. (13 Jan 2017)

After longer than 14 years of vaping, is it time to quit in 2024?

I was part of ECIGSSA way back in 2014 (For the love of me I cant remember my logins so I`m not going to bother establishing a search & recovery taskforce) Rather I will start anew.

My name is Jaco and I was part of ECIGSSA way back in 2014 (For the love of me I cant remember my logins so I`m not going to bother establishing a search & recovery taskforce) Rather I will start anew.

I stepped back from vaping when i moved to Cape Town in 2016 and life came knocking hard and only recently started Vaping again. So its like I'm new to vaping but not entirely new. I did my own e-juices way back when I still had some of my youth. The DIY bug hit and it was all over for me. I hope that i am still welcome here and look forward to learning as much as possible from you fine Folk

Welcome to all the new and kinda new I guess lol enjoy your time here .
