Need advice on my first vape

Perhaps better titles.
Perhaps you should stick to quiting smoking before looking at making rain clouds.
An ego one is a decent device.
A subbox mini is also worthwhile.
Why do you want massive clouds to begin with?

i agree keep it simple for starters and work from there get off the stinkies 1st have a good browse through the forum and then if you have questions ask away
It happens in your mind first. Get that "makes a lot of smoke" out of your head. Vaping does not produce smoke, it produces vapor. Go to a vape shop in your area and have the experts there help you make an informed decision. Check the vendors list on the main page to find a vendor that's near you and go see them. All our vendors are awesome folks who will quickly get you on the right path 
Im used to hookha with allot of smoke .. sorry for saying smoke instead of vape☺ i saw on youtube people bulding a vape that gives allot of vape .. im close to quitting the smokes . I have been smoking allot less than what i used to .

It does require some self discipline as well, but not nearly as much as going cold turkey. If you can find a proper device and juice that will satisfy your craving, then you're more than halfway there. Then it's just vape, vape, and vape!
Sounds awesome . Naah i have been laying down on the smokes fo a while now .. but i think my only option is going to be to buy online . Because i stay in sasolburg and i think the closest proper vape shop is going to be in jhb

Welcome to the forum @newbie15
Good to see people doing research before buying
I agree with @zadiac, try go to a retailer where you can try a few things out and they will be able to find you something you like as a good start. I would imagine a good starter device (not a cheapy that you will need to upgrade fairly soon) will cost you about R600 to R1,000
If you tell us where you are based, we can recommend a good retailer if one exists near you
All the best
Ok, no shops that i know of near you, but I could be wrong
Perhaps come up to JHB and visit one of the retailers - VapeKing has a walk in store with a big selection and you can try a lot of the juices as well before you buy. But there are several other retailers too.
Also, we are having a VapeMeet on Sat 28 Nov in Sandton. There will be 4 retailers there and i am sure you will be able to find something great.
Check out the following thread with details of the vape meet:

There is actually a small shop in Vanderbijlpark that has a vaping section. They sell some of the local vendors' juice and some gear. Shops name is Orbi's or something like that. I can PM you Hashim's number so you can phone him and get precise location from him.
Most welcome to the forum.
Check out this thread - might just be what you require: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/intro-to-vaping-the-subox-mini.t12498/
All the best with you vaping journey. Shout if you have any questions. And keep us updated please.
Hey bro,I'm sure the members here can give many ideas for economical vape gear I just want to tell you that as an almost 50 yr.smoker I can attest that vapeing is a mighty tool for quitting.You still need some will power but it can make the quitting easier and you may even like it as much or more than cigs like I have.On top of quitting you'll find the forum a great place w/good folks who'll be there for you.Good luck!
The ego one is a supprisingly decent mod at about R700.
If you are serious about quitting, you will need at least 2 devices and a nice selection of juice. Reason being electronics occasionally fail. Batteries go flat at the oddest of times. Tanks fall and break.
2 devices ensures you always have a backup to vape.
Most rain clouds made are with 0mg nicotine.
That being said you can still make decent clouds on something like the subbox mini.
Keep in mind that you will have to buy a few batteries and a few juices and a charger and possibly a second tank so keep these in mind for costs.

If i understand where @newbie15 is coming from, the "big clouds" do indeed help with the quiting (atleast from myself and friends perspectives). For me, i stopped the smokes and was using a twisp (sies). Then i upgraded abit to a quake, now im using a subox mini. I wish i had saved myself the money spending and just started on the subbox. For me smoking stinkies was a mind thing.. As soon as i got the subbox things got so much easier purely because i was "blowing clouds" and it settled my mind and cravings completely. If i could advise from my side, if you really want to quite the smokes.. Get the subbox...purely because of thr fact that you have the choice to rebuild your coils or not (i chose to do this to save some money where i could). But yeah, go for the subbox, great way to start off even though its abit pricey to begin with.

Ro bro one word... I just 2... Makes tones of vape and gets you of the iggy sticks helptt me and now im a vapper
Congrats @newbie15
Glad you got sorted.
I hear the iJust2 is a great device
What juice did you get?
Let us know how its going
I was going to suggest the iJust2, I suggested that my BIL get one and he is off stinkies for nearly a month, he claims he doesn't even miss the stinkies one bit, after decades of smoking. The Subox Mini kits (including Evic mini etc) are great but I knew he wouldn't be interested in building his own coils etc. Good choice, best of luck on your journey.
So I've been trying to get my dad to quit for a while now, Something I didn't realize until today was that not everyone can sub ohm from the start.
I found it very easy to switch between mouth to lung devices, lung hitting, above ohm, sub ohm really anything goes.
My dad, the champ that he is, has been coughing for a 2 months now on an ego 1 mini with 0.5 ohm clr. switching between cigs and the device to cut down. This weekend I got an ego 510 adapter and put the k1 on the ego mini battery for him and he has been loving it. No cough for the whole day. When I gave him the sub ohm coil on the ego 1 mini he started coughing again. Since then I've rebuilt the clr at 1.3 ohms and he is fine again.
I feel soo shit since so many people have tried my devices and coughed there lungs out swearing never to try again.
Is this a well known thing for beginners that I some how missed?
