Hi all I have been a heavy smoker for over 30 years but fortunatley met "Hands" whom I trust is well known to all of you. He got me into vaping about 3 weeks ago and I am on the road to kicking the smoking curse. I live in KZN but make a 65km commute to the Eastern Cape each day for work. It has not been a walk in the park quiting smoking but I have cut back dramatically and want to be smoke free asap! Hands managed through the forum to arrange a second hand set up for me and I am now the proud owner and user of a KOOPOR Plus mod and a Griffen 25 deck. I am still unsure of the correct terms but I am sure I will be helped in the right direction if my description is wrong. I can't get enough of the information shared on the forum and hope to become a regular as I have so much to ask and learn from you all.

Haazit everyone, I'm Jason:)

I've been stealing my mates' vapes at every opportunity since 2015. Only now recently bought my own (Wismec Predator kit and TFV8). Fave flavor: Sugar Cookies by Vape Gurus.

Already love the community here!

Hello @JayRay and welcome to the forum.
 
Hello people! I've been smoking pipe for a loooong time, got introduced to vaping by friends and thought, let's give it a try ( no intention of putting down the pipe) and bought myself a Smok V8 stick. After one day vaping my pipe got put down and didn't get touched again. Well as it goes the stick was good enough for a week before I got a Wismec Reuleaux-RX2/3- and screwed the big baby beast on there. Pretty much started off mixing my own juices ( some of which were terrible, until I started using tried recipes) because that's the way I like to do things. I hope to learn a lot from the experienced people on these forums!

Welcome @SlayerKallie !

Pipe smokers are a rare breed! There are a couple on here, have you seen all the fancy pipe-styled mods around?

Im noob to vaping, only about a month.:)
Got a Vaporesso Nebula Mod with a Wotofo Serpent RDTA...FLAVOR chaser.... had a gemini tank which i used for 2 weeks but I love building things and moved on to building my own coils. Homemade juice's (80/20 - 90/10)VG/PG are doing me well, not as flavor potent as storebought but still trying to master the flavors for such high VG.

Vape on!!!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome and intro to ECIGSSA.
I love DIY, so if there is a way to do it myself - i will at least try! :)
Thats why im so keen on this forum with all its friendly members!
 
Hi guys, this almost feels like an AA introduction... it's been 4 weeks since my last cigarette and so far I am loooving it.
I must say it was a difficult first step to get started. So much information and too many different (paid) views on what the best starting gear would be.

So I started with a little Joyetech AIO and a few juices that all tasted the same.
Now, 4 weeks later I have found MY nirvana. A couple of Nautilus 2 tanks on some Picos with XXX and Nostalgia Yogichews.

This is only the start of what I think will be an exciting, but expensive journey. So far I have probably spent more on vaping than I have on cigarettes in the past 2 years... cheaper than smoking? Hahahahaha
And dare I say, vaping is far more addictive than smoking ever was!

Hahaha... for sure yes! Vaping becomes more of an active hobby rather than am addiction... especially once the DIY bug starts biting!

Welcome to the forum @Mr.T
Congrats on the 4 weeks - great achievement!
Glad to hear you found vaping setups you like, it makes all the difference
Yes, vaping is certainly exciting and the journey can be quite expensive to discover what you like but once you find it, the costs can be managed....
In my opinion, the costs of vaping are far outweighed by the benefits of not smoking - especially in the longer run...

Enjoy
 
Heya peeps!

My name is Lloyd, from Cape Town. I started vaping again recently, had a Twisp device a year or two ago. Stopped using that and then two days ago I bought myself an Eleaf Ijust S device. I must say i am enjoying it extremely! havent smoked an analog since lol.

Anyway, that is me :)

Hello!

I had been lurking for a while before joining!

I have been on the good stuff for roughly 3 weeks now and loving it,thanks to a few FB messages to @Rob Fisher who advised me to start off with the iStick Melo 3. Great starter device!

Problem is, I feel that the starter phase is over and am looking at moving to the next stage in terms of device and rebuildable coils and all of the nice things. Obviously nothing too high end at this point. Any advice will be appreciated.

Ps- This is an awesome, informative forum!
Pps- Expect lots of noob questions!

Edited to add - Perhaps I should start a new thread regarding the recommendations?
