Thanks so much, already used your advise and mailed a vape shop here in Cape Town, eagerly awaiting a reply.
Yip, definitely a winning combo, lekker dik wolkies, awesome flavour, no leaking and 3 to 4 days on a charge.

Congrats on giving up smoking after 15 years...the first stretch is a bit rough, but once you get over that you'll never look back - well, maybe a glance
There are a ton of options for upgrading, and it sounds like you definitely need to - the most important part of switching to vaping from smoking is a consistent and satisfying vape, and from the sounds of it that is not what you are getting. As to what to get, you could give the new Twisp Aero a try. It is a rebranded Ego One and it is an amazing vape - guaranteed. Or, you could save some money and just get a Ego One. Both of these will give you a very consistent and satisfying vape and will deliver more than enough nicotine to keep you off the cigarettes
There are so many other options too, but it might be a bit much to take in after only two weeks of vaping. But feel free to look around and ask as many questions as you need.
Best of luck and enjoy the forum

Welcome @Calvin
Congrats on being lured into a better way of life - what a happy surprise
The hobby side of vaping, and the awesome community, is something that contributes greatly to the loss of desire for smoking - at least it was in my case. Glad to hear you are enjoying it as well
Great setup, and juice...and Vape Club is amazing

Welcome @theyettie
Best of luck finding a setup that gets you off the cigarettes permanently - it's worth the effort
Follow the advice (and/or links) given and I'm sure you'll be vaping up a storm soon enough and never look at a Camel (heavy/light) ever again

Welcome @DarkSide
Sorry to hear that you are struggling, but if you follow @Andre 's advice you will be vaping up a storm in no time
The Twisp Aero is a fantastic little device too - it is so unlike any other Twisp device. It is basically a high end device from another manufacturer (Joyetech) called the Ego One which they have had modified slightly and rebranded. The vape off it is right up there with the SubTank, and the total device is tiny in size. It also produces massive clouds if that's what you are after
Best of luck finding your perfect setup, and enjoy the forum

Well done on your two weeks mate in the coming weeks you'll feel your taste buds come back to life! and the lungs feel better also! the Twisp is what I started on also and got me through the first twelve months of no cigs, the main thing with the twisp is the mouthpiece pull it off and dry any drips or liquid that are present in the top piece and blow out the mouthpiece, its pretty much the only thing other than the coil that can interfere with the quality of vaping the twisp, which in my humble opinion is a great starting point..Hey Guys.
Cameron here. Great forum!
Smoked for 15 years, 20 a day...
Been vaping for a little over two weeks now and have not had a cig since I bought my twisp...
Now for some advice... there is a lot on this forum (that is way above me)
The twisp is great, but it seems inconsistent... I want a machine that tastes the same every time I drag it. Consistent clouds, consistent flavour. Consistent nicotine. I find myself puffing on this thing a lot to maintain. I have changed the coil and I clean it regularly (once a week) Something that lasts throughout the day, that I can charge over night.
Should I just wait and get used to the twisp or should I upgrade to a better unit?
Any advice will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
C
Cheers mate I didn't give the number a second thought
Hi Guys
THANKS for all the advice from the members on this forum and a Big “Shout-Out” to VapeMod in Kenilworth for all the amazing assistance and advice, really happy with my set-up, the Grandmaster flavour really appropriate as every cough in the store was truly a masterpiece, even the car guard asked me if I was okay, coughing away happily in my vape filled car.
Getting the hang of it now, truly a fantastic “lung lubricant" and "jooce". I purchased the black eLeaf iStick 50W with a nice sleeve, Arctic Sub-Ohm tank with a box of 0.5 coils.
Thanks again to all.
Regards
Daniel

Way to go, enjoy. Those sleeves are great.
Thanks @Riaz, @Andre, @free3dom and @brett Franklin for the awesome responses. I will do the research on your recommendations. You guys rock! Cheers
Hi people name's Thaakir. I'm off the stinky for a month now can't stand the smell of it anymore.... vaping made it easier to stop, but that cravings still hit pretty hard
Hi All
Well not much to say as I am still trying to get into vaping. (hope that's what its called) I was on the stinkies for 20 years and then stopped cold turkey. The mrs also stopped cold turkey after an operation she had 3 years ago. Sadly about 2 years after stopping life got a bit much and I fell back on the cancer sticks.
I have just really wasted my money by buying 2 different flea market devices and what I am now assuming after lurking for 2 or 3 days some fake juice. I did not know there was so may devices out there and a community of local supporters. I have stayed of the stinkies for about 3 weeks now. I am having a real hard time but that I am sure is more related to the gear I have and I really don't want to get back onto the coffin nails.
Well i will be checking out the store in a bit, I am on a real tight budget and a total noob so before I go asking a million silly questions I am going to try and educate myself a bit.
oh the gear is escape and that's about all I know. Being from China mall I have no faith on anything the packaging says.

Most welcome to the forum. Yeah, the China mall gear and jooses will make it very hard on you. Browse around and shout if you have any questions. All the best.
PS: Consider going to the VapeCon on Saturday. You will get great personal advice and some great specials there.
I Will have a look see now where it is and hold out till then, thanks

First, congrats on giving up the cigs...a month is a great achievement 
The first few months are a bit rough as there are moments where the cravings creep back in, but after that it keeps getting easier and easier until one day you realize you no longer crave it at all - that is a wonderful day
What I would usually do when those bad cravings hit, was to vape like a madman - just keep puffing away like crazy - until the craving subsides. Sometimes it worked better than others, but nearly 10 months in now and I can guarantee you it will be worth struggling through those moments
Higher nicotine juices, as well as flavours that your really enjoy tend to help as well - also upgrading your devices to something with better nicotine delivery does wonders
Enjoy the forum, and the vape

I was moving with a twisp clearo for a while and yesterday I managed to get an aspire atlantis unfortunately for now I'm still using twisp juice but the flavour is absolutely amazing now.
Welcome @nemo
Congrats on getting off the cigs, for the second time - it'll be better this time, as soon as you get the gear sorted out
Unfortunately, there is a lot of crap out there - but luckily you found the forum and can now proceed to be completely overwhelmed
Good luck with the research, and please feel free to ask as many questions as you want, we do not consider any of them stupid, ever
As @Andre said, going into a store and talking to them should get you sorted out in no time
Enjoy the forum and best of luck

Nice...now you're cooking
Just a quick PSA, since you are in JHB. Try and attend VapeCon on Saturday (info here) - there will be great deals on some amazing juices
Thanks Guys, much appreciated was just informed that we have a function to attend Saturday
Well I will browse around as I am sure many of my questions have been answered already they are rather general.
The one question I am sure is asked on a regular basis is the most difficult to answer and the simplest .... don't you just love those.
I am on a tight budget (aren't we all) and would like if possible to get a "starter kit" to replace the hardware and a bottle of juice I only have about R400 - R600 to spend to get started with which does not appear to be much looking at the prices.
Any way let me get back to browsing around and see what I can find seeing I cant make Saturday now.
