Thank you for the welcome Andre. Yeah my vaping experience pretty much snowballed.
Received the Aromamiser and pirate flags as gifts and looking to get the Avocado 24 next.
In time I'll be a respected mixologist and might even launch a juice line
What's up peeps! So it took me about 4-6 months to mentally prepare for one of the hardest things i have ever had to do. Quit smoking. I have tried many times in the past, the longest quitting time being about 3 days. After the mental preparation and growing to hate smoking more and more every day, my homie Peter from @ComplexChaos , hooked me up with a Subtank mini kit to start out, which has quickly turned into a hobby / obsession
Now with a decent setup, 2 months and 9days down without one stinky after smoking quite heavily for about 13/14years. Good Times. Don't miss it at all.
Officially, welcome @Greg Psaros - better late than not
Congrats on your 2 months - great achievement!
Wishing you all the best with your vape journey from here on
Enjoy your stay
Belated welcome @Moey_Ismail - i think we may have interacted on another thread
Congrats on the new vaping focus - that is amazing gear you have - enjoy!
All the best from here on
Howdy. From Joburg/Centurion. Been vaping off and on for a couple of years, via 3 different basic pen-style starter kits. Haven't been overly successful with them, to be honest. Recently got a couple of MPT3s and so far I'm impressed. They seem to be quite a step up! Of course my old pen-style batteries have now started to give up on me, and were not overly powerful to begin with, which I was told might be the reason my MPT3s with replacement VOCC = virtually zero flavour. So I'm looking into a 'proper' setup soon - trawling through a million and one reviews of each though trying to decide on which. Looks like a Kanger Topbox Mini kit is on the cards (unless anyone here gives me a reason to not go that route?).
Be warned - I have zero fear about asking a zillion noob questions, so might be rather chatty
Belated welcome @Stooge
I will also vouch for the Toptank Mini as a good starting out tank. Nice that you can use commercial and rebuildable coils. Not sure if you got it already - i havent caught up with the rest of the thread
All the best
I think I probably introduced myself already via a thread I made asking questions.
Typical twisp story, didn't know any better, which is stupid on my part since I have internet access, but I do manage to trip on flat surfaces more often than I should admit in public. I now wish I had the money back to spend on more gear.
Then met a random guy at a braai who had a kbox and told me where to go to get sorted. I am now starting to realise that nicotine goes hand in hand with an addictive personality as I read up about vaping and want to know more and yes, buy more
So far only really nice people here with a bunch of knowledge they readily willing to share.
Thanks!

@DrSirus-88 ive been on youtube 1nce for the Goblin mini v2 Build there after its just been build until its correct for me. mostly its 2nd time its working right.
Ahoy!
So I am Psy and I stumbled upon this forum to learn more about vapes and vaping.
I do not smoke and vaping interests me but not something I need or want to do really, just grab my friends on the odd occasion to have a taste.
So yeah, see you all around!

Welcome to the forums @PsyCLown . Just a heads up, any of my friends dare to touch my vape and they're going to lose their hand, so hopefully your friends are better people than me!
I can't say I advocate vaping to a non-smoker, but wouldn't want to appear hypocritical either. On the plus side, the more people that are educated about vaping the better IMO. Anyway, I've blabbered enough, welcome!
Hi all
Completely new at vaping with a twisp clearo device and will be depending on your input.
Thanks
BTW, I have been smoking since 1977 and got a scare when my doctor told me that my lungs were not looking too great. So stopped the cigs (40 a day) on 15th March 2016 and got the twisp. It helped a helluva lot with the withdrawal symptoms and I haven't touched a cig since.
Still looking for a better and cheaper option than a twisp - they are TOOOOO expensive with their juices - R180 for 20ml - ridiculous when other juices are less than half that price.
So if you can offer any advice regarding a decent starter kit, please place your comments on my thread http://www.ecigssa.co.za/e-cigarette-advice.t23184/
Thanks

Welcome to the forum @PsyCLown
Lots of info here - so enjoy
My advice to you if you are not a smoker is rather stay away from the nicotine if you can
Lots of great zero milligram juices and flavours to keep you happy
Welcome to the forum @ddk1979
Lots of info here and I am sure you will get great advice, if not already on other threads
I stopped smoking on the Twisp Clearo in Oct 2013. It worked for me. But I felt i wanted more.
Today, there is a plethora of amazing higher powered devices and a wide juice selection to give you a great vape and its so much easier than it was back then.
I would say go for the TopTank Mini setup from Kanger. You can build your own coils and use commercial bought coils - and the flavour and intensity will be far better than the Clearo. They are stocked by several vendors on this forum.
Enjoy
Hey @ddk1979, firstly, welcome to the Forum, this is a awesome place, I am also fairly new to this forum, but in my short stay here I have met so many great people and made many friends and bugged the living hell out of a couple of people with questions and so, @Silver, @Rob Fisher, can vouch for that, lmao. I'm sure you will find this forum just as informative and helpful as I have, secondly, where about in Cape Town are you, if you want to have a chat, please feel free to contact me, I live in Paarl and work in Brackenfell.

Thanks.
I opened up a thread at http://www.ecigssa.co.za/e-cigarette-advice.t23184/ regarding a setup - I see you posted a comment there as well.
Everyone has been very patient, kind and extremely helpful. Really seems as if this is a great forum.
Welcome newbies 
Hi Grant.Welcome newbies
Well I'm new here.
I generally don't do Forums these days but I got suggested to join the forum by Doug and Paulie.
I have been vaping for well over two years but only recently started getting into the community of vaping.
Started out back in the day on an Ego and went to a Kanger Sub tank then to a Kbox and so forth.
My current mods are a DripBox and an RX200.
I am mostly a dripper person as I prefer the building process.
I have been mixing for quite a while and have been honing the craft. Been working for a few months on some flavours that I use as my ADV's.
Maybe in the future I might do a line or something but for now it's all about the art of mixing and teaching myself the art.
Hi @Zacdaniel ! Welcome to the forums!
You definitely seem to know what you're doing, it's always nice to have someone join who already knows exactly what they're doing! Hope you find a home here with us, and can give us a tip or two on the DIY front!
This is where our juice makers seem to congregate...

Have fun!
