Hi all.

Just signed up last week. Moved from analogues to vaping just over 3 years ago. Started off on a good old eGo-T, then added a Protank III, then moved onto the twisp range and finally moved up to an iJust S a couple of weeks ago. Whole new (3mg) world opened to me. Twisp was great as a convenience, but so glad I've moved on to something with a little more oomph. Just got some Complex Chaos Mallowshake and Freaky Loops which I'm dying to try, but got a tank full of Cosmic Fog Nutz at the moment.

Hobbies include: Scale model car building, gaming (on PC and Xbox) and photography.

Welcome to the forum @FiveStarZA
Congrats on the vaping and glad you found something you like
All the best for your journey from here.
Enjoy

Hi. My name is Wynand and I am a nicotine addict.

I started smoking very young and thus have been smoking at least a packed of 20 for the last 10-12 years. In that time i have stop smoking a few times but never longer than 4 months.

I had a twisp for a while but it did not last. At this point in my life I am ready to leave the smokes behind for good. I were referred to this site by a member of another unrelated forum called wild dogs adventure riding. I have not started vaping as of yet but will dive into this forum to find help full info and tips to help me choose the correct device.

I am very new to this and very uninformed and could use all the help I can get. My aim is to leave smokes in my past and if I can do it cheaper that would be a plus.

Just for reference, I currently smoke a 12mg tar and 1mg nicotine sigarette. I will need something thats capable of handling that need.

For now I think that is all the info you guys and girls need from me. If there is anything else, you are welcome to ask. I will be doing alot of reading and will ask a question from time to time. I will also be stopping at vapemob in willowbridge within the next week to see what is out there and what I need and what is the cost involved.

Thanks for having me.

Welome to the forum @Franky3
Congrats on deciding to investigate vaping as an alternative to smoking

For me it has been just over 3 years smoke free and it has been the best thing I ever did. I too smoked a strong cigarette. Rothmans Blue - more than a pack a day - for nearly 20 years.

What helped me to switch to vaping was to find a great mouth to lung vape (similar action to smoking) with a strong 18mg juice in a flavour that I really loved. I liked the fruity menthols and the tobacco flavours but each person is different.

All the best and let us know how it goes.
Enjoy your stay

Welcome @LeeGov ! That is quite a while you've been on the vape scene!

Love it when a lurker decides to jump into the pit with the rest of us!

As a matter of interest what has kept the stinkines in the picture considering you've been vaping for so long?

@Stosta It's more of a physiological thing, i feel there's something in a cigarette that satisfies a specific craving, I just can't put my finger on it
Also my job stresses me out alot so I tend to reach for that cigarette sometimes

 

[LeeGov]

Glad to have you here vape veteran, @LeeGov. All the best in kicking those last few stinkies. Happy vaping.

@Andre Thanks Man

Fair enough, I think for some people the stinkies just have a certain something to them. Hopefully we can help you find what that is and then you can get rid of them once and for all!

Franky3, welcom!! Wynand, I also smoked for approximately 25years, that was 25 years to long. I STARTED VAPING 17 days ago an use a witcher from Rofvape. It works very well and almost functions like a mechanical mod but not close so "complicated" I would suggest start of with something simple and then you can upgrade. Just get the mindset right... I still have a packet of smokes in my vehicle with a lighter, but didn't touch it!!! Good luck and start vaping!!

@LeeGov - I know what you mean
For the first month or two after switching completely to vaping, I also felt something was missing.
But that went away after a while
But I hear you. Does take a bit of willpower. That said, the equipment and juice variety available today compared to 3 years ago I think makes it much easier.

Welcome @Ethan katz !

Glad you decided to join us! Three years is a long time for this game, you must have started on the old EVODs or something?

I first tried an electronic hookah pen (disposable) and right after went to an old Evod. (Back in the day )

Howzit guys, my name is Shaun...

I've been vaping for quite a while now. Old faithful twisp device was my poison back then ha ha ha...

I've got 4 mixed and matched devices. Do my own builds , mix my own juice... (Whole 9 yards I guess) Defnitly here to learn a trick or 2 with builds and wicking and...etc

I still fall off the wagon now and then. More then than now though!

 

[SKYWVRD]

Sup everyone my names Sean

Started vaping around 2 months ago after about 2-3 years of contemplating getting into it, main reason for avoiding is because I didn't have the money at the time to sustain all the juice I knew I would end up buying
Started vaping to one reduce the chances of me smoking again and two I really wanted to be able to easily smoke ookah without needing to set one up.

I have no began to look into both cloud chasing at tricking to bring some more joy out of it to give me more of a reason to stay away from cigarettes and hopefully will actually achieve something with regards to both but as I said I'm new to the scene and have a long way ahead of me

Besides vaping I have my diploma in mechanical engineering and working towards my degree, currently working at an Industrial Refrigeration design company as a support engineer, enjoy my job and hope to see it progress into something even bigger.

Currently My Builds are all using my Alien 220w and I had the baby beast but quickly went out and bought a Avacado 24 and then bought a clone twisted messes 30mm but didn't quite look right on my mod and recently decided to buy a Troll V2 and I am loving it
Avo 24 for when I'm on the road
Troll V2 for chilling somewhere where I can constantly wick without problems

So thats basically my introduction, I look forward to exploring this new world I'm in and look forward to meeting new friends through it

Cheers

Hello @Franky3 and welcome to the forum. Personally, for new converts, I like to recommend the aspire nautilus mini on a pico mod for a beginner. Its a great mouth to lung tank which best simulates the act of actually smoking a cigarette. It's what worked for me and I still use it on occasion till today.

i quit smoking 11 years ago (the craving never goes but vaping does provide an alternative)
BTW my son calls my iJUstS the "Doom"

Hello @SKYWVRD and welcome to the forum. From one mechanical engineer to another... You will surely love the complexities and simplicity of coil building and wire making. A lil but of chemistry know how can get you into DIY juices as well... The possibilities are endless and those long hours spent in boring lectures take on new meaning!!
