Introduce Yourselves:

Welcome to the forum @sPiKeY89. All the best for giving up stinkies. Twisp was what i started on too. Loved it. Took a week to convert to vaping and i wasnt really trying. I did feel however that i needed a bit more intensity than Twisp could provide. And the leaky mouthpiece irritated me hugely for travelling. Still use them as a backup to my backup. Lol

and @Hein510, wecome. All the best. This is a great place. Enjoy

Thats the exact problem I had with it! Really enjoying the protank 2, running at 4V. Still wanna get me a 1.8ohm coil though! Also wanna rebuild the coil, duel nano coil!
 
Hi everyone, My name is Kaiden I'm quite a young guy only 20 years of age and a Bcom Finance student. I have been a smoker for 6 years and now have turned to an ecig to kick analogs for good to boost my health and save money I generally smoked 7-8 analogs a day.
 
Most welcome to the forum, @GetLucky777. Congrats on turning your back on the stinkies. Browse around and do ask questions. We are all here to help and be helped. The only dumb questions are the questions not asked.
 
I've been lurking here for some time, soaking up info from lots of informative posts. I didn't know much about vaping until 2 months ago, and have found this site to be extremely useful.

To all involved in running this site, well done, keep up the good work and thank you!
 
Welcome @GetLucky777 - congrats on your decision to stop analogs. Enjoy the forum

And to @360twin - thanks for signing up after "lurking" for a while and thanks for the compliments about the site. We have a great dedicated "team" of friendly vapers here. Enjoy...
 
Most welcome @360twin. Great idea to lurk and browse first, you get a good idea what is going on and where your interests are, and get a few laughs as well! Shoot if you have any queries. Happy vaping.
 
Welcome to all the newbies!
Please go here to add your name to the list if you are interested in receiving the taste box and sampling some juices.
 
Very glad to see that there are more options out there - TMI overload right now from trawling through the posts.
From KZN and purchased Twisp Clearo for myself and husband and whilst I am managing well - my husband is struggling to stay off the Styvies. Looking for something better that will help to keep him going. Twisp is just not strong enough for him i.e. not enough of a nicotine hit.

Any good advice is most welcome. Ideally something that can be carried in his pocket.
 
welcome @Mornat you sure came to the right place :) if twisp isnt cutting it for him I would suggest going for one of the various variable voltage devices out there :) lots of people with good advice here so dont be afraid to ask
 
Welcome Mornat, nice to have you on board.

Vape king can build you a really nice starter kit and it is affordable. With regards to throat hit, perhaps try upping the nic level. I see that you are in KZN, you can have a look at vape king's range of juices as well as Vapour Mountain's range of juices as well. @Rob Fisher has posted great reviews on Vapour Mountain's range of juices.

Here are some links to help in the search:

And then you can get some Juices from @Oupa at Vapour Mountain! If your husband likes menthol then definitely get him Menthol Ice. Others I really enjoy are the Pineapple and Chocolate Mint. But have a look at the forum thread on Vapour Mountain here...

http://www.ecigssa.co.za/index.php?forums/vapour-mountain/

When you email @Oupa you can ask him to increase the nicotine levels accordingly. I like the 12mg version but you may want to start off higher if your husband is battling.

Vape King also have a decent range of Juices and you can have a look at them here and grab any you fancy.

Wow... Thank You @Rob Fisher for taking the time to provide such a detailed response. Reading many of the posts about the "trials and tribulations" of eCigs - I see many regretted not taking the advice given or going straight to the better devices. With this in mind I intend to not make the same mistake!!
Another question - How does the Twisp Liquid (Tobacco flavour) compare in terms of strength to what you are using (12mg) and how would that compare to Styvesant Blue?

I would say that the 12mg compares favorably and is probably the best option for a normal smoker. I never really liked the tobacco flavoured juices... my favorite Twisp juices were the Peach and Cherry. I was a Menthol smoker but the menthol's in the Twisp range made me cough so I was really bummed and thought I would not find a decent menthol juice I could Vape... then I found topQ Menthol (not the Menthol Pepper) and was happy again. After that I found the Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice and I'm now in heaven!

But to answer your original question... if you were a Stuyvesant Blue smoker you should be fine on the 12mg strength. I was a pretty heavy smoker for over 40 years and switch to e-ciggies was really a breeze... I guess my bad cough and stinky environment was the motivation I needed to make the change forever! And having a nagging ex-smoker wife certainly helped too! :confused:

There is absolutely no link between the strength of cigarette that you smoked and the nicotine content of juice best suited for you. I smoked the lightest cigarette on the market (albeit a lot of them), but started out at 36 mg nicotine. This thread is a must read for all beginner vapers: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/index.php?threads/what-to-expect-on-you-vaping-journey.813/
EDIT: @Silver1 has reported that Twisp had informed him that their juices are 18 mg.
 
Yup.... as a woman I am so motivated to keep going mainly because of the stinky issues. Sound ridiculous but having hair, hands and clothes that still smell like shampoo and soap by the end of the day is such a reward.
