Introduce Yourselves:

Howsit Guys

Born and bred Capetonian, I was a smoker for 7 years, switched to vaping overnight and I am proud to say I have not had an analog in 3 months! Started on a Ego Spinner with a Kanger Protank 2, absolute delight! I have now moved to a Kayfun mini V2.1 and OH my goodness, the flavour is something else!

I built my first coil last week, 1.6 ohm with Rayon wick, working perfectly. I'm patiently awaiting my Fasttech order, Hana Modz 30, Russian 91% and a Tobh Atty! Must give a shout out to @Vapemob in Cape Town, absolutely fantastic service.

Ciao

Chris

Welcome @Chris and thanks for joining up.
Sounds like you have had an excellent journey thus far.
Well done on the first coil. It is a great feeling indeed.
All the best for your new kit arriving. Do let us know how you find the new gear.
Enjoy the forum.

Welcome @BigB
You are right - our skipper @Rob Fisher is a superb motivator - I assume he has helped you to get on to vaping?
Anyhow, congrats on the switch and the benefits you are observing. You are right about that!
All the best for your vaping and enjoy the forum. We have a great place

Actually @BigB got me onto Twisp!

 

[BumbleBee]

Welcome to the forum @tomcat, best of luck on your new vaping journey

@Ccoetzee you've got some great gear on the way, hope to see some pics in the Vapemail section soon

Actually @BigB got me onto Twisp!

I don't recall getting you onto the Twisp Rob but if I did, I am glad..... I also converted my wife, brother in law, and sister as well. Got Robbie off of the hubbly bubbly too. I must mention Claus here too. Weird, sitting on a boat in the middle of Albert Falls, me smoking a stinky thing and him puffing away on some juice. I merely asked him if it satisfied him and, after letting me taste the tobacco flavour, I said it seemed like a good thing.

History shows that he phoned his wife and by the time I came off the water I was vaping! I totally stopped smoking immediately. Never looked back....

Sometimes friends influence friends and good things happen. We all read about peer pressure and how kids get onto drugs and so forth but here we see super positive peer pressure.

Your influence is legendary too Rob. Why not tell the guys here about our trip to Bivane Dam where about 15 ex smokers sat around a braai and not a single one had a stinky. Everyone vaping!!!!! That is influence in a community.... Good influence.......

Yip and that was the weekend @vaalboy brought out his REO Mini and put a new wick in for me to test it with Menthol Ice... I needed to see what @Andre was on about because he sounded like a lunatic... and the rest as they say is history!

May I mention at this point that @BigB should be a Reonaut by the end of next week!

Hidy ho fellow vapers. Quick introduction from my side. New to the forum but I have vaping for a while. Feeling so confident in vaping I stopped smoking the moment I bought my first device and I have never looked back.

After seeing what it did for me and my family in the sense that I can vape anywhere and I dont stink anymore when I play with the kids, I took the step and opened another branch of Vape King in Pretoria. Thats right folks, you can now buy all your favourites in Pretoria.

Check for our details on www.vapeking.co.za

Thanks for the intro guys. Hope to see you soon

Welcome @BoogaBooga

Maybe chat with @Rob Fisher or @Andre about getting set up as a "Supporting Retailer"

 

[Gizmo]

Time to join the community although I am not new to vaping. Rob Fisher is a great motivator when it comes to this forum. He always speaks well of everyone, I just caved in and joined LOL

Gave up a 30 per day habit in November 2013. I now run two Spinner II's with the latest Aero Tank Mini's. I use Vapour Mountain VM4 and Menthol Ice as alternates during the day.....

I have to say that I have not once felt like having a cigarette! No more wheeze!!! No more cough in the morning!!! Easier on the lungs when doing cardio at the gym!!! PLUS - I get to choose from so many great flavors as well!!!

Welcome to the family @BigB! Congratulations on your 10 months stinky free!

I'll try to remember that, can never remember who to go to for what

Hi all,

New to the forum, I'm yet to take some time to have a look around but thought this should be my first stop!

Looking to get a starter kit of some sorts so gotta make my way to the classifieds

I've stopped smoking ciggs for about a year and slowly picked it up again not too long ago. So figured maybe I should get me a decent vape and kick the ciggies for good...

 

[Nightfearz]

Welcome Zef.
You will find all the details you need here, but as this is a forum with many member, you might also get many opinions, and it might confuse you. You can make your way to the retailers section and check out retailer in capetown area. perhaps go to a store and check out how the mods and devices feel in your hand and ask question about them all that the retailer can answer.
Enjoy your stay and welcome to the "Jol"

Welcome to the forum

A good vape kit and the right juice for you will definitely keep you off the gaga.... good luck

 

[Zef]

Thanks dudes, yeah I've just realised there's actually quite a bit to learn here. I don't know half of what anyone's saying in the classifieds lol, overwhelming.

Should get the gist of it quickly though

Don't learn to much, you might like it a lot, and that tends to get expensive....

Lol just what I need, another expensive hobby

The best would be to start off simple, avoid mechanicals and rebuildables for now. Maybe start off with something like a simple EVOD Starter kit, or if your budget allows then a mini ProTank 3 or Nautilus mini with a variable voltage battery works wonders. The real trick is finding juice that works for you, here again there are more than enough options, try as many as you can afford.

 

[BumbleBee]

It doesn't need to be expensive, things only start getting out of hand if you like tinkering. A vision spinner 2 and a Nautilus mini will take you a long way. But yes, there is always something nicer, cooler or better... self control is handy around here.

Work out what you spend on cigarettes a month, set that as your vaping budget.

Yeah tinkering is kinda part of my job lol.

I've used a simple Twisp-like kit before, something like that EVOD starter kit, so was looking to get something a little nicer. I'll go post a wanted ad instead of derailing here, and lurk around a bit

Hey everyone.

Big newbie here. I actually started vaping last Friday(also had my last cig on friday as well), when I bought the MVP 2.0. Was never really a heavy smoker, but liked the ritual of taking a break during work and having a smoke outside. Non-smokers don't realise how great taking a break is

Looking forward to having some intense discussions and learning more about this awesome alternative to regular smokes.

p.s. Thanks for the great site!
