Introduce Yourselves:

Howzit guys

I started doing this vapidng thing a few weeks ago and outgrew the starter kit within a week of strictly vaping...
I bought the Subox mini today from VapeKing as soon as I heard that the truck had just delivered them (also one massive thanks to @free3dom ) for that lovely intro post.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot more on this forum and also just plain having fun!

Regards Stoef

Welcome @JacoV

Happy to hear you are enjoying yourself on here ;)

Enjoy the forum
 
Hi. Been stalking the forum for some time, but decided to join today. Myself an my wife went from smoking to gaping about 6 months ago. Started with the Evod kits. Recently bought myself two sub tank nanos with two ego one 1100MAH batteries. Not brave enough for the .5 ohm coil yet, but really enjoying the sub tank flavor and vapor production.

Bought a subox two days ago but haven't fired it up yet(midnight impulse buy) can't wait though

Upgraded my wife to an eleaf iJust 1300MAH on the weekend, and bought her an I stick mini with GS16s tank that she is getting tomorrow. (She doesn't know yet)

Been struggling with finding nice juices and wasted a lot of money on juice I don't like. Really wish the suppliers would sell sample packs. Anyway, any advise is welcome on the juices.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
 
Warm Welcome @R8B84 and to the wife and "to the little one", Glad you stopped stalking and decided to come in form the cold. I see that you have been "gaping" for 6 months now, anyway, I think I (we) understand and congrats on this amazing achievement, always nice when there is two ... ends with three, as we all can see.
Nice devices you have there, good luck and keep it up, you all will be better off for "gaping"
Kind Regards

Welcome @JacoV

Enjoy the forum!
 
Welcome @R8B84

Congrats to both you and the wife for giving up the smokes - 6 months in and you sound like you are on a roll, nicely done :clap:

I've been raving a bit about the Subox since I got it so I'll just say this: fire it up :rock:;-)

As for juices, recommendations are difficult as tastes are so difficult. And without knowing what you've tried (and did/didn't like) it's even harder - so tell us about it and we'll do our very best to give you some ideas of what might be suitable to your tastes.

Enjoy the forum

Welcome to the forum @R8B84
All the best for you and your wife and congrats on switching to vaping
Regarding juices, if you tell me what types of flavous you think you like, it will be easier for me and others to advise you.

Do you like tobaccoes, fruits, menthols, desserts?
Do you like them strong or mild?

Give us an idea of juices you have found (if any) that you like - and that will also help
Also mention ones you really didnt like and that will help too
 
I liked the twisp tobacco flavours, but they become very sweet after a while. Perhaps the high PG? Vape Elixir shipwrecked was too spicy to my liking.

I like coffee flavours but most I found was also too sweet for an all day vape.

Liqua tobacco and cherry flavours was very harsh on my throat so couldn't use that for long.
 
A Welcome @Hero from a cold and rainy Cape Town, enjoy the journey with these learned ones, as I am also starting out on my journey and have received nothing but excellent advice and support, thanks again Master....you know who you are!

You sound just like my mom. She loves tobacco and coffee flavours

Tobaccoes are difficult. Not too many locally manufactured great tobaccoes. Try black cigar from Vape Elixir as well. You could also try VK4 from VapeKing. Several people like it. It is a bit sweeter.

But the best tobaccoes for me are the naturally extracted ones (NETs). Heathers Heavenly Vapes (used to be sold by Juicy Joes, they may still have stock) are great. Huntsman, Dark Horse and Gaia are my favourites. Another juice you could try is Witchers Brew Blackbird from VapeMob. Probably my favourite tobacco of all time. Pricey but very good.

As for coffee, thats also not easy. You get the creamy sweet ones and then the bitter ones. VapourMountain's coffee is strong and dark and roasted. Vapeking's coffee is lighter and creamier. My mom mixes the two with just a bit of the roasted VM one. Superb vape. Both are local.

I also found the Liqua juices were quite harsh. They have a higher PG content. If you want something a bit smoother, then go for something with a higher VG content. But the very high VG juices wont work as well in the basic tanks because they dont wick as well.

Just a few suggestions - but check out the ELiquid reviews in the eliquid section. You will get some ideas there too.

All the best and let us know how it goes

The Twisp and Liqua flavours are not really meant for use in the SubTanks (and other modern devices) - they are strong (over?) flavoured because their intended devices aren't really that good at delivering flavour. This is why in modern devices they tend to be a bit much. The higher PG also contributes to this.

It seems that tobacco is your flavour of choice?
I'm not personally much of a tobacco vaper, so I'll leave the recommendations on these type of juices to the experts ;)

Once juice I will recommend that should suit your taste would be Vapour Mountain's VM4 select reserve. The VM4 standard is an RY4 type juice (so a sweetish tobacco), but the Select Reserve variant is steeped in oak barrels which removes a lot of the sweetness and makes for an amazing vape.
