Hi everyone!
So pleased to find such a great spot online for all things vape related. I'm completely new to vaping, having decided just yesterday to stop smoking cigarettes. Today is the first day in 10 years I haven't bought a box of smokes - I'm hoping it stays that way and i'm sure that being here will be a huge help!
Looking forward to being smoke-free and learning more!

Hi all,
I bought a starter kit from a colleague towards the end of October this year and have not smoked a cigarette since. I was only about a 15-a-day smoker though, so I'm sure that made it much easier for me than for others who did the immediate switch. I did have a really good Cuban (Cohiba) after the birth of my first child around mid-November, but haven't experienced any cravings. Guess it's straight up nicotine addiction for me then.
The starter kit included an EVOD BCC, a Twisp atomizer and an iTazte VV. He also kindly got me some different juices to try out at first. These included some of VM's, a Liqua and two Totally Wicked Red Label juices. I have subsequently purchased an Aspire Nautilus Mini, which is amazing, and I've placed my first order with Vapour Mountain for a few 10ml sample juices, just to explore a few different tastes. Silver's excellent reviews were a guiding factor in my choices. I currently have Colins's Cherry 12mg in the Mini (from the iVape kiosk in Westwood mall to tide me over until my order arrives). I have been an anonymous reader of this forum over the last few weeks and am astounded by the knowledge/information one can find here.
I am really glad to have found this local community, it's my VapePedia, and am most fortunate to have a vaping mentor, who is so willing and enthusiastic to assist and support a noob such as myself, as a colleague.
With all the media surrounding the topic of vaping, I had to register here to, in some small way, add my name to the growing list of those counted as vapers.
Hi there fellow vapers... I'm Shazzi Lynn... Been vaping for 4 years this October

Cash seem to run out quickly when it comes to vaping
Vape strong and Rock Hard
Hi! I am I am working in pilot plant design (chemical) and switched to vaping 18 months ago . I smaoked some cigarettes since but they cannot compete with vaping and maybe the first drag tastes like good memories latest the third is only disgust.
Started with a Protank II which I lost, then a Protank Mini II, which I lost (I know, I know...), then a TWISP which surprised me positivly except for being overpriced and now a Protank Mini III on a Vision Spinner II. I used pure PG 3,6 and1,5 ohm coils.
Don't know if this is ther right place but whatever I need something else in hardware as my setup now is far from what I want. The Protank is likely to leak and whilst vaping too often releases liquid which I want to vape and not to drink.
The setup is plain ugly and unesthetic.
I have no time to search to the incredible masses of possibilities one more praised then the other so maybe somebody will lend a helping hand here:
The whole setup should be shorter then a TWISP with a 1100MA batterie, it can be considerable thicker though, no problem as long the it is one size allover, a straight tube. 1200mA batterie, a so called "mechanical" might be best for me.
I am not going to wind coils myself so the vaporizer should have replaceable coils which are available and stay available for the time being. Locally available.
Vaporizer only with real glass, no plastic and it must produce serious hits and three or four in row, not only one and then going downhill.
As mentioned before I tend to loose this stuff somehow, this cannot be changed, so the setup must be prized with this in mind, not ultracheap but also not far out. I would have to buy two anyways, say I buy a second as soon I know for sure that thats the real McCoy.
Must be available locally in SA better would be in Joburg directly.
I am waiting for too much items from abroad already since months, no thanks, not anymore, only Courier and thats out of relation.
Thought at about R800 for one unit with replacement coils, would take a well groomed used ones too so it fits my needs.
Thanks, and sorry for stomping in and demanding spoonfeeding of this kind, it is just to much to read here...

First off, welcome to the forums
As for recommendations, you will probably have better feedback by posting this question in the General Vaporiser Talk section.
If you are in JHB (Fourways) you can always pop into Vape King, and they can help you in store with advice and recommendations.
Edit: The devices recommended by @Andre are spot on too

Welcome @Oren
Congrats on stopping the stinkies and the birth of your child
Am honoured to discover my reviews helped you, just shout if you have any questions
All the best and enjoy the forum!
Yay I finally joined. The vape meet on Saturday was really an awesome learning experience as well as alot fun, especially watching the competitions . The Admin rockK
Warm welcome @Pet!
Lol, the name is great.
Welcome @sovielenamen
Lol, stomping and demanding to be spoonfed, not to worry. We are here to help. I found myself nodding at your comments.
I agree with both of @Andre's options.
IStick and mini Aspire Nautilus. Great combination. I have it myself. The Nautilus mini is a great flavour producer. Only 2ml of juice and its quite thirsty, but well worth it in my opinion. Make sure you get the BVC coils for it. The iStick is a little powerhouse of note. Very cute. If anything, i find it a bit small but a super power source
The eGrip is great. I dont have one but had a good 10 minutes with it at the JHB vape meet and vaped on it a few times. Very small but very comfortable in the hand. Solidly built. Vape is great. Quite heavy. Perfect travel companion in my view.
Just dont lose them!
All the best
