17 days in and still stupid!

[ant]

i thought I was having a bad vaping day as I have read about on so many posts.
I wanted a ciggy so many times, turns out I just needed to replace my cartomiser, buzzing again :-)
Still learning, now buzzing
Is there a nucular mod?

Glad you managed to get the problem sorted without having a cig.
Vaping is all about learning, so don't be hard on yourself. And I still have days when I think about a cig, there is still 1 in a pack in my cupboard and when I go in that cupboard and see it, sometimes I'm tempted, it's been there for 2 months but I don't want to throw it away yet.

And when I'm having a crap vaping day, coils/tastebuds whatever I sometimes think sod it I'll just have a cig, but something stops me.

I had half a cig about a month ago on a very bad day and it was disgusting

You should be pleased for the ones you DON'T smoke

17 days is still early days mate... its a learning curve that even a year into im still on but it keeps it fun

[bennyboy]

I've been feeling a bit like that today. Can barely taste anything I'm vaping. So had a go on a fresh greensmoke cart and that was even worse lol. I wouldn't even go and buy a cig, but if someone was smoking one near me (which they haven't) I could see myself asking for a drag........

Actually, Ant, you have raised a good point, we should try to remember, when a new person joins and has a few questions, it may be helpful if we remember to say about the vape falling off, not satisfying etc that they may need to replace the atty, I have been guilty of trying to help people get started and not mentioning important things like this. So great post

17 Days is good mate, keep it up trust me we all have ups and downs, I found my V3 clearo's were acting up, changed over my atomisers and all dandy again, on top of this i have now moved onto using vivi nova's much nicer with more liquid..

you could do what i did last week, picked up the wrong twist, not charged ran out at 1pm while in work, had no vape from 1pm until i got home at 6pm, in all honesty i was fine, but if that had been actual ciggies I would have been climing the walls ;-)

Well done on the 17days and despite what you thought was going to be a bad day.............. you didnt reach for an analogue

I think thats 2 things to be proud about

[OneDay]

Ant as everyone has said, there is a steep learning curve, and with new equipment arriving all the time even the most experienced vaper becomes a newbie again when their new superclearovisionvari v.2.3.1.b arrives.

For ciggies the initial instructions - stick in gob, apply flame, suck - never changed

Alan, I have from VapeEscape Delux, ry4 and USA tobacco and I find the delux to be the best by far, will need to order my 3rd 30ml 24mg soon. In fact with it being a Bank Holiday... bugger! Gunna place an order now.

Thanks for the support guys :-)

TBH after going through a lot of liquid,I have only found 4 I could vape the majority of the time and two that I could vape occasionally....Puffin UKs Red bull and coffee a blueberry from Smokesummit and a strawberry from TW...occasional despite not liking much from Grizwalds for being a bit sickly I then like their toffee popcorn and quite like the cocomel......I have yet to find a tobacco I like,though I have a RY-HI 5 from safercigs that is not to bad

Don't get me wrong there has been some quite vapable stuff but not a lot that would make me buy it in a 30ml bottle.

Still 9,878 to try though

Sounds like you are doing so well Ant #icon_thumbsup#

Hi Alan,

After a while you will get past the need for that "I want it to taste the same as a cigi"…. that taste was produced by burning tobacco with 1000’s of chemicals attached, it is not possible to replicate. If you are at the stage where you can accept that, you can move on....

The true flavour of tobacco, (not the tobacco+chemicals+burning taste you get from a cigi), is obtainable, but it might surprise you as not being what you thought it would be on its own.

If you have you an idea of what flavour you are looking for, then maybe DIY mixing is the next step for you and the way to move forward. Not finding what I wanted from pre mixes did it for me and was what started me down that road.

Start to mix some flavours you like and tobacco and suddenly a whole new world appears and very satisfying results can be obtained, I don’t know what your tastes are, but have a look here at a few recipes and see if anything tickles your fancy.
