Hello to all.

I'm a Durbanite who has been vaping since July 2016. I have not had a cigar in 4 months!

As some one once said "Smoking is history, Vaping is the future and the future is now"

I have just recently started mixing my own DIY vape juice and got my first RBA this weekend.
Im running a Smok Alien 220w with the TFV8 Baby Beast on stock coils that come with the RBA.

I really enjoy the hobby side of vaping.

Thank you for a awesome forum

Brad

Welcome fellow Durbanite! Always happy to see another one of us popping up!

That is a beautiful setup you have there. Best of luck on the DIY, please feel free to send me any of your juices to validate your skills.

As for the RBA, it feels like you're disarming a nuclear device in the middle of San Francisco when you first do it, the second time, you're putting a PC together, the third time... Well you're just building a coil

Hey
From Joburg
I'm super new to vaping - bought my first one 2 weeks ago, Kangertech Subvod. Now using the eleaf istick pico with the ijust 2 tank....so far very happy with the device but looking for a different tank and different juices.
Been reading up and watching lots of youtube reviews on different mods, tanks, coils, etc - tons I don't understand but will get there. Happy to have found this forum!!!

 

[GregF]

Welcome @R0sak. I like the way you said you "bought your first one" haha like you knew what lay ahead.
You have moved quite quickly. There are a lot of helpful people here so ask away and enjoy your stay.

@Rincewind , Welcome to the forum.
What vape gear are you using and what is the nicotine strength of your juice ???
If you are trying to quit the cigs, it's best to get high nicotine juices (12mg-18mg)

.

 

[MamaBear]

Hey all
So I've seen the light... started off vaping with a Twisp... don't hold it against me! Knew there had to be more to this and I started doing some research. I'm now on Kangertech Subvod starter kit and having some teething problems with it but I may just be missing a few basics. I'm sure I will find all the answers I need from the esteemed vapers on this forum though.
Looking forward to chatting with you all!

I have 2 IJust2's, got 6mg in the one and 12mg in the other. Most of the juice I have is 6mg, but I will be getting all 12mg for a bit. See how that works for me.

@Rincewind , that's the challenge ... finding what works for YOU.
here's a list of vendors that make higher nicotine juices - http://www.ecigssa.co.za/any-vendors-with-12mg-18mg-juice.t25931/page-2#post-408495

Thanks GregF, just kidding about the Twisp... I still use mine now and then. I just got too little use from the coil before it tasted burnt and I had to replace it (even with proper priming). Anyway, I love the thick, tasty clouds that I get with the Subvod starter, but I've now replaced the SSOCC coil that it came with with a 0.5 Clapton coil and I just can seem to get the balance between clouds and flavour right. It also gets really hot with just a couple of hits and I have to leave it to cool down. Is it really just a matter of testing coils until I find the right one?

So you are a cloud chaser. I'm sure there are lots of guys here who can help you with that. I dont have much experience with the Subvod... my son has one but I have never played with it. I must add though that he did have a few problems with some coils.... which ones I don't know. Hang in there I'm sure you will find something that you like

Hey @Rincewind no need to apologise. All in your own time. Don't stress. When you find the right juice and gear for yourself you will be one happy camper.

Hey everyone, newish vaper here. I've been reading the forums and learning alot.

I smoked for about 15 years and thought it finally time to quit, so far my eLeaf Pico has been working wonders in trying to kick the habit. I'm down from a pack a day to only 1 or 2.

Looking forward to reading more threads here and hopefully kick the cigs for good.

Most welcome. Baby steps for sure. You shall prevail - especially with your Latin phrase as morbid reminder. Happy vaping.
