Introduce Yourselves:

Wats up... New on the forum. Stopped smoking over 2 years ago when my baby daughter came along. Started with a subox mini and moved along swiftly since. Currently use an eleaf Ipower and joyetech ultima in the day. Chieftain and griffin 25 at home. As well as owning an evic mini, aromamizer and a few drippers. Love my vaping, been doing it long time now and love watching the pros like vapingwithtwisted420, grimmgreen, and riptrippers. Quite impressed with these forum and gonna be watching those classifieds closely. Sweet

Welcome @Scouse45 and congrats on the vaping for two years!
All the best from here on and enjoy your stay
 
Wat up lovely people. I've been cruising around here for a couple of weeks and decided to kick the stinkies for good this time...

I went out and got me a lovely black pico/melo3 mini combo and after 3 days, tried my camels again. Was so disappointed that I gave that half pack remaining to the car guard after supper. Looks like I will not be returning to those things on a permanent basis.

So far so good. I am amazed at how well this is working out for me and I hope this forum and this thread will help others make this decision too.

Looks like I came into the game at just the right time as I will be running low on juice just before vapecon.

And a very warm welcome to the forum @Atsbitscrisp! You chose a great kit to start with... I have a few setups and my Pico is still one of my favourites! See you at VapeCon! :p
 
So here goes, My name is Ikraam, i'm from Cape Town...
I started vaping like a week ago, got a Evic VTC Mini with Limitless RDTA(atomiser if I remember correctly).
I just started, so no idea what im talking about. I have another friend on here, no idea who he is on here. We went away the weekend and he truly opened my eyes to vaping. He even told me to come onto this site. So here I am. Dane if you see this, gimme a shout.

I still smoke cigarettes, but because my mom always complains about the smell... I have decided to start vaping, and instantly I have seen the reduction in cigs. So lets see how long my carton is going to last.

awe ikie its dane aka kilherza glad you join the club bra now to get your hands on all the flavours out there lol
 
Hi everyone,

I'm very new to the vape scene, been about 2 months now. Never smoked cigarettes before, so had no 'legitiment' reason to start vaping, but had a few drags of my buddy's vape and decided to take the plunge.

I went out and bought the Joyetech AIO, which was nice for a week or two, but then I realised how little flavour I got out of it compare to any other e-cig I tried. So I'm looking at upgrading to a basic temp controlled mod soon. I tried the supplied 0.6Ohm coils and 1.0Ohm one, but couldn't get enough flavour out of it.

On the e-liquid side, my favourites (so far) are Vapour Mountain's XXX, Vapour Chemistry's PB3 and Creamy Clouds Fizzy (Lemon biscuits is close to my top too).

Looking forward to participating and being part of the community.
 
Hi, my name is Anton and I've been lurking on here for a few weeks, this is kinda my coming out as tomorrow I'll be officially off cigarettes for 3 months!

I started off with a spare EWOW Mega from a kit I ordered for my mom, then watched a few YouTube vids on sub-ohm vaping, bought myself an Ijust2 and that was the end of smoking for me.

Since then I've started DIY, bought a Sigelei 213 for home and recently a Pico for portability. I have an Avocado 24 & Griffin 25 for the Cig & Serpent Mini, Billow v2 Nano for the Pico in addition to the Melo III it came with. I also bought a Tsunami 22 that I haven't really used yet, but it just looked so damn cute on the Pico! :)

I've been mixing some of my own juice but gotta confess they mostly still taste kinda 'home made' compared to premium liquid, but that's what I'm here for.. to learn, to share and to say thank you in advance for all the future freebies :)

Lastly, this forum on tapatalk makes the daily Gautrain grind a whole lot more bearable..

Wishing you all the best

Hi @NielJoubert
Welcome to the forum.
Although I would like to wish you well, I have to say that I do not recommend anyone starts vaping if they weren't a smoker. Whats the point of getting into something that you dont really need? That is my personal view.

That said, if you enjoy the vaping, all good and well but I would suggest you stick to zero nicotine juices. No need for you (in my view) to take in nicotine at this point.

Ja, I forgot to mention I'm only using 0mg juices and it's more a social smoking thing at the moment. I go through max 6ml of juice and 1 battery charge a week .

I'm also realising that I'm more interested in the DIY aspect of juice and coil making than the actual smoking. If it turns out to not be for me, I can pass all my stuff along to my friends who smokes and get them to stop. We'll see what happens in a month or two. It's going to be fun anyways.

Hi all
Been browsing this forum for a few days, with the hope of educating myself in the vaping world :)
Been a member of SaGamer for a good few years, and noticed quite a few fimiliar names.

My story :)
I started vaping 3 years ago (on the Twisp Clearo), and enjoyed it for almost two years, before upgrading to an Evolution Vape alternative. A few months back, I purchased an Ego AIO devices, of which is my daily Vape. The Ego however, does not do it for me any longer. I came across the Kangertech Top Box and Kbox 160 + Protank 4 (tested at my local Vape shop), and vaping these are in a different world, compared to what I'm used to.
I've browsed the classified section, to kinda gauge what is popular and trustworthy ... And boy is it hard to come to a conclusion. I have no clue about the difference in high wattage mods and RBA coils ... But slowly reading up on it.

When I started out vaping, I didn't want to make it a hobby, and still don't intend to. Just looking for a good device that would satisfy my vaping needs. With this said, and looking at the classified section ... This might change :)

Apologies for the long intro :)
But how would you guys rate the new Kbox 160 and Protank 4 combo ?
Is it a good buy ?
Should I have the need to experiment with different atomizers, would this mod be sufficient ?
Any help, advice would be much appreciated.
 
Welcome to the forum @Trevashen great intro,no need to apologize ;) congratulations on 3 years of vaping,as for your question,I haven't vaped on the protank 4 but I've seen some pretty good reviews and the fact that it comes with a RBA deck with pre installed coils is pretty awesome, also comes with a ceramic coil(just make sure you prime the ceramic coil properly),so all in all looks like a pretty decent setup that gives you a lot of variety and should last you pretty long:Das for not wanting it to become a hobby :think: i think most of us had that intention,but all I can say is when the bug bites its very difficult to rewist but all worth it in the end:rock: hope you enjoy your stay and keep us posted on your new gear :D
 
Howzit people,

My name is Shuaib, I have been vaping for about 2 months now. I havent smoke a cancer stick for about 1 month :).
My wife is really happy she doesnt have to kiss a ashtray anymore........Thats a big bonus.
Currently my mod is a Koopor 200w plus with a Avacado, flavour in the tank is Foggys Famous sauce ( if there is any left cause the avacado is a drinker)
I am currently studying mech mods and how to be safe using them.
I work for Mercedes Benz so if any one wants to buy a New Mercedes Benz call me, ill throw in a free flavor.

Welcome to the forum @Trevashen
Congrats on the vaping
Dont worry - this does all seem very confusing at first but you will get the hang of it.

The devices you have - Eg the Aio - tend to have a tighter draw and are suited to mouth to lung vaping - like smoking a cigarette. Many of the newer tanks are more suited to direct lung hits and have much wider airflow.

That said, the Protank4 is good - you can use it with commercial store bought coils and you can build your own. I have one. Havent yet tried the build your own on it yet. But the build deck for that takes a dual coil so its not as easy as a single coil if you are starting out.

Perhaps the Kanger TopTank Mini is a better option. Good flavour, very reliable. Also takes commercial coils and build your own - but the build deck is designed for a single coil so i would say its easier. Also easy to wick and its very forgiving.

All the best and let us know how it goes

Happy vaping bud.
