Congrats on a year of vaping
That Plume Veil + Nemisis is a great mech setup, and good to hear you are enjoying the high VG mixes - give the NCV juices a try if you haven't already
Enjoy the forum
Hi everyone, already introduced here and it's been a while. Got my Smok M80 and Subtank Mini 2 weeks ago and having a blast. Rebuilding coils now, even tried a vertical coil setup on the Subtank and it rocks! Doing the DIY juice thing as well and must say, it's been easier on the wallet ever since. Welcome to all the newbies that signed up since I've last been here and enjoy the journey, it's really addictive when you start buying mods and sub-ohm tanks. Happy Vaping!
Thanks for popping in and giving us an update. Vapingwise everything looks swimming on your side. Way to go!
Glad to hear you are getting along nicely with the vape
DIY is a fun sub-hobby in the vaping world, and of course does help with the increase in juice use
Keep it up
Hi everyone! I'm Erica and I've had an unusual vaping journey so far. My best friend (rest his soul) used to work at Twisp and a year ago introduced me to the Clearo. Although I'm not a previous smoker, (highly asthmatic so that was a nope) I use nicotine as a therapeutic alternative treatment for my ADHD (hyperactivity) since I've been off the meds. And it's been surprisingly very effective.
I've recently changed from the Twisp Clearo to an Eleaf mini bcc and an iTwist 1300mHa battery.
Really have a big sweet tooth especially for the dessert and fruit flavours.
I look forward to using this forum!

Most welcome to the forum. Very interesting to hear nicotine is effective in helping for ADHD - so glad it is working for you. Happy vaping.Hi everyone!

Welcome @Ravynheart
Glad to hear that vaping is helping you out in a different way than most of us (who stopped smoking)
As we move away from the association of nicotine with cigarettes and they (being the dudes/dudettes in white coats) start really looking at the various positives of nicotine hopefully vaping can become a useful tool for other ailments as well
Juice flavours are of course a big reason why we all love vaping - getting a sweet taste in your mouth without it ending up on your body somewhere is a really nice bonus But you should still eat fruit, they're healthy
Enjoy the forum, and the vaping

Just an update on my journey to date;
Had to go to the doctor for a check up, been two weeks since my operation, I told him that I had quit smoking and only vapng, his exact words to me: "Oh thank goodness, fantastic news". Wow I thought, this from my doctor and there was NO lecture or anything negative to say about vaping. He wished me well and told me to "keep at it, no excuses". With the usual stethoscope procedure to listen to the lungs, again his words, "so nice to hear the air going in". Wow again I thought, he then sent me to the procedure room to check oxygen saturation and the machine registered 99...Wow again! Blood pressure totally normal, clean bill of health.
To celebrate, I went directly to VapeMOB and purchased some chocolate to celebrate, Beard Vape Co No 88.
Keep at it guys, I have only been at this for such a short time and already I can feel the difference(s), no tight chest, no coughing, no smell, no headaches and no need to chew endless amounts of gum. Only downside is at work I am now a "snob", as I do now want to stand with my colleagues when they have a smoke.
Kind Regards

That's great to hear
Hello to you all! I started vaping nearly 2 years ago and managed to give tobacco cigs up completely. I started with the Evod and a 650mah battery but soon it wasnt enough so I upgraded to a 1100mah battery. I have tried some of Vapemobs products (Pro tank & vv battery) and wasnt that impressed. I have tried other brands but havent been able to find something that satisfies that kick you get from smoking a tobacco cigarette. Might I also mention that its not my intention as of yet to give up vaping because I enjoy it too much! The only suppliers I have dealt with up to now are Vapemob and ECiggies. Could someone please advise me on what I could try, does battery size make a difference to getting the perfect hit?
Welcome @Vanilla
Congrats of giving up the cigs for two years - very well done
As for that kick you are looking for, there are a few things that contribute to it - but even then it's always going to be something different (but that's not necessarily a bad thing)
First thing would be to get a decent device which is capable of delivering enough vapour - there are so many options, and currently I have high hopes for the incoming Subox mini kits in this department. Finding the right power setting with devices like these is quite simple and painless to match what you need.
Next, and probably most important, is finding a juice that works for you - this should have a high enough nicotine level (which varies based on the device you use) to give you the kick - 18/12mg being highly recommended.
Throat hit is what is most closely related to how it feels when you smoke - it's that "thump" you feel in your throat as you take a drag. Higher nicotine, some flavours, and the correct way of vaping (mouth to lung inhaling) improves this "hit" you get while vaping.
Personally this is what satisfies me most while vaping - a good strong hit in the throat
Here would be my recommendations: wait a few weeks and give the Subox Mini a go (supposedly it will be the new standard for what you are looking for, but it's untested). If you don't want to wait, the iStick 30W + Aspire Nautilus is a tried and tested setup that should satisfy your needs. The two juices that provide the best hit for me are both from SkyBlue, they are Strawberry Snap (strawberry + a little bit of menthol) and Melinda's Nilla Custard (sweetish, and gives a great hit).
Good luck with the vaping - hopefully you find that satisfaction you are looking for

Thank you@ free3dom for the advice! My head spins every time I start investigating what to move on to! I have no idea what to look for. I use liquids that are 18mg. Will have a look at what you recommended, many thanks

You are very welcome, and feel free to ask if you are unsure about anything - it can be quite daunting
Hi Dude enjoy your stay here
Hi Vanilla
As you can see, I am still a noob at this vaping and like you, wanted that kick that ciggies gave, that is why I only "vaped" in my car, because it was new and smoked at work. In my work I travel a great deal, spend so much time at airports and in hotel rooms, always looking for a smoking lounge or insisted on a "smoking room" in the hotel.
After the advice received on this forum, I purchased the Eleaf iStick 50w battery and an Arctic sub tank, and as free3dom stated, purchased both the 12 and 18mg nicotine juice, believe me, 18mg nicotine strength in a 0.5 ohm tank and firing at 35 watts, damn, you get the hit and in my case, I almost passed out during my first chain vape session I had, new equipment, nice juice and I thought I could chain vape like I chain smoked on some occasions, like waiting to board a plane, needed the nicotine to get into my system to last me for the flight.
I learnt my lesson with the 18mg strength, quite happy, within the short space of time, to enjoy the 6mg strength, when the going gets tough, I have my eGo ONE primed with the demon brew of 18mg, two or three vapes, back to the 6mg strength in the sub ohm tank.
I can no longer sit in the smoking lounge and quite happy with a non smoking hotel room. Strangely, when I wake up in the mornings, my first thought is; 'I vape and do not smoke" and it is that thought, almost like a motto for me now and damn, I am proud to be a vaper.
Good Luck to you, hang in there and hope you find the right "tools" to help you find what you are looking for.

I echo what @free3dom said, coached a little differently:Thank you@ free3dom for the advice! My head spins every time I start investigating what to move on to! I have no idea what to look for. I use liquids that are 18mg. Will have a look at what you recommended, many thanks
- The tried and tested duo, still the devices of choice for many experienced vapers, are the iStick 30w with the Mini Aspire Nautilus with BVC coils.
- The new kid on the block - the Ego One combination. Good reports so far on this. Small, less expensive and effective. You have a choice of 1100 or 2200 mAh batteries. If it is to be your main vaping device, go for the bigger battery. Great deal on this as a starter kit from www.skybluevaping.co.za - you get 2 juices for free.
- The hope: The Subox Mini. Modern, caters for all type of vapers. Good pricing.
