I smoke. Tobacco cigarettes.

Might switch to vaping if I knew anything about it.....which I don't currently.

Can anyone recommend a "Starter guide to vaping"......or maybe a book like "Vaping for Dummies" or something?

I didn't read through the whole thing but this one seemed ok. Tutorial: Beginner’s Guide to Vaping – MistHub

I just googled "Starter guide to vaping," theres a ton of them out there.

I started on "gas station" vapes (Vuse, Mark 10), learned how to break into them and add my own juice on YouTube, then read this thread. I went to a vape shop, one that had been around for a couple of years, and got a tutorial in person. I bought what they call an eGo kit that included battery, charger, lanyard, and a tank.

Over time, I've tried a few different types of tanks and elements, and juices. I never wanted to get into the gear too much so I've learned just enough to know what I like and how to do it. My gear suffers an occasional leak, maybe once a month, that I've never pinned the cause down other than it's liquid in a container and S happens.

The gear, the liquid, etc, all sounded like a big pain in the rear before I switched. It really isn't. And trust me, I started smoking cigarettes in the womb, stopped for awhile after being born, and resumed again 13 years later and smoked for 40 years. I love cigarettes and occasionally still like the smell, but I'll never go back to it.

It costs me less than $20 a month to "smoke" now.

I haven't had a cigarette in almost 3.5 years but I still miss them. I haven't decided on the actual age but I promised myself that if I make it to 70 or 75, I can start smoking cigarettes again. Of course, when I quit, I promised myself that I could have one cigarette on the one year anniversary. That day came and went and I never bothered.

NRD!
It's a Kangertech TopBox Mini...the new one.

I'm running it at 24.6v...something about even numbers...they're friendlier.
Down from 18mg nicotine, in my old 'pen' vape, to 6.
BIG clouds!
I couldn't be happier...:thumbsup:

Can anyone recommend a decent low/mid wattage tank (say, 20 watts or so) that makes nice vapor/good flavor? Loving my Aspire Cleito tank for the cloudage and flavor but it doesn't wake up with less than 40 watts and this drains my single-battery mod in a hurry. Would rather not have to go to a larger, multi-battery mod. Running a VTC Mini mod and the tank it came with is just kind of meh.

i have a Youde Zephyrus2 and love it ... currently running the RDA deck in it with a 1.95Ω 28g microcoil @ 17w ... filled with my diy menthol tobacco (flavourart glory @3%, 50/50) ... also have a old skool kanger subtank (the big 5ml one) running 1.6Ω rebuilt heads with non-menthol glory. all my high wattage low nic stuff is saved for drippers.

People don't believe me now.. In high school we had a "smoking hall". Yeah I was a heavy smoker from 1977 till about ten years ago when I made the brilliant decision that cigars would be better for me. Yeah well maybe if you don't smoke them like cigarettes. So feeling my age I made a command decision to buy a battery, tank and non flavored liquid injected with nicotine. That was February three years ago. Haven't lit up since.

We didn't have a smoking hall, but my friends had a smoking room at their school. We had a line in the parking lot about fifty feet from the school that we had to stay behind. That was pretty cool, because we could go out there and smoke weed really easy. :hyper:

Has anyone here dropped their Kangertech KBox mini...from about 2 ft, onto a hardwood floor? :banghead: The fall forced the spring behind the negative pole up into the interior black casing...so now it's not making a proper connection with the battery. :dead:
Is there a fix?

A lot of people say that their first cigarette after a long absence is disgusting!

Not me! :roflmao:

After nearly 5 years of not touching a cigarette, I drunkenly shared two cigarettes with a co-worker at the office Christmas party. It was every bit as awesome as I remembered and imagined it would be. Pure Nirvana! I regret nothing! :woot:
