Introduce Yourselves:

Howzit guys and gals,

I started vaping last Thursday to try cut down on analogs.
I bought an eleaf ijust one as it fitted my budget.
I made sure I bought spare coils and juice.
I can't say I miss the analogs although it's early days, but I haven't touched one since.

Welcome to the forum @87hunter

Congrats on the switch. You are doing a GREAT thing
Wishing you all the best with it
Enjoy your stay here and feeel free to ask questions as you go along
 
Hi there peeps.

Had some issues getting in but the mods helped me. So I can finally join in the fun.

Used to smoke up to 30 stinkies a day. Then just over a week ago I made one of the best impulse buys ever. Got myself an Eleaf ikuu i80 and my stinkie usage droped to 4 or 5 a day. Still not there yet but not giving up.

The juices kept on flowing and realised that it will burn a huge hole in my pocked. So I already started diy some juices.

Looking forward getting to know some of you and pestering you guys with some noob questions.

Welcome to the forum @Adephi
Congrats on the vaping, keep it up, well done on reducing the stinkie usage!!!

Hi fellow vapers,

I've been vaping for 2 months now and I absolutely love it, I quit smoking just over a month ago - it was quite difficult at first but vaping has helped. I have a Stick V8 but I'm saving up for something fancier :) something customizable.

I'm finding vaping slightly more expensive than cigarettes, I go through 30ml e-liquid in less than a week whereas I smoked 2 packets of cigarettes a week. I think I might need to bump up from 3ml nicotine to 6ml so I don't need to take as many drags per vaping session.

The one frustration I do have currently is with finding e-liquids I like, I buy mine from Vape King and I've enjoyed these: Grapelicious, Sparkle, Zoob, which Vape King hasn't had in 3/6mg nicotine for almost 3 weeks now - so I was forced to try new flavors. I've tried 3 flavors that I didn't enjoy, which obviously I had to spend money on so that was a bummer, I still have 50ml of orange which I don't enjoy.

I know it's a mouthful intro but just wanted to share my limited experience :) currently I'm trying out Threesome Neapolitan Ice Cream, which is pretty cool.
 
Welcome to the forum @SiyaK.
We all have the same issue, finding a juice you can vape all day long
(ADV-ALL DAY VAPE)
but, if you found it on day one, it wouldn't be as much fun.
Anyways, enjoy your stay here, and ask as many questions as you can.

Hey @SiyaK !

Firstly congrats on kicking the stinkies! Your journey when you start off will be a lot more expensive than your 2 boxes a week, especially if you're looking for an ADV as @GerritVisagie pointed out! Once you have found that your costs will reduce dramatically, and even more so if you can get into making your own juices!

Your best bet is to go into the stores and try them out there, I think these days all shops will have tasting juices of some sort, and most will be happy to help you out if you don't have the right equipment (a dripper) to try them on. Just be cautious, a lot of juices taste good the first time you vape them, but get a little overbearing after a whole tank.

I personally like quite a few juices nowadays, but there are very few that I can vape all day. I like my fruity menthols, and XXX by Vapour Mountain is used by a LOT of people on here as an ADV, so maybe see if you can try that!

But yes it will be expensive, but try focus on the long-term benefits and think of the reasons that you started in the first place!

Thank you for your feedback @Stosta, I'm gaining a lot of insight here and it's comforting to know the few challenges I have are not unique to me. I'm actually quite interested in learning more about making my e-juice but I'll pick up that project next year. Hopefully there's a lot of e-juice wizards here I can learn from :)

We are lucky enough to have quite a few guys on here that are extremely clued up and very helpful, we have an amazing DIY crew on this forum! So when you get to that bridge there will be plenty of assistance available :)

Congrats on the vaping. You are doing a great thing!
Not a mouthful of an intro at all ;-) We guzzle info here at a rate of knots!

As for the juice journey, I share your frustration and found it very difficult when I started out and for several months in to find juices that I absolutely loved. My advice is try also go to a store where you can sample juices and try taste your friend's juices. It helps to try out more without spending a lot on things you don't like. The more you try the better. My findings are that if you like 1 out of 10 you are doing great!

All the best

12 Days without any new introductions. This must be an anti-record of some sorts.

True.

But a warm welcome to all the new members that have not yet introduced themselves here. Please take a couple of minutes to tell the rest of us about yourself.

Thanks
