Another newbie!!

Vapourized the kit is a great choice. 20ml of juice won't last you long - most people seem to average 3-5ml per day, often more when they first start. I'd also get a pik'n'mix selection of other flavours, as many of us find we actually prefer non-tobacco flavour vaping

Hi and Vapourized

Chrissie has linked you to a really good starter kit almost all of us have or have had one in our time vaping.

One thing I will point out is that the cartomisers and the Vision Ego that you get in the kit (they're the bits that contain a heating coil and hold the liquid) are consumable items, the cartomisers will last between 3 to 7 days each and the Vision 7 - 10 days if you're a heavy vaper. They get a carbon deposit building up on the coils that stops them working efficiently. You can do some maintenance on them to keep them running longer, but we'll deal with that later.

So in your first few days vaping see which type you prefer then buy at least 2 weeks supply of what you like to use, then keep them stocked up and do the same for the liquid you like, that way you'll not run out before you can get more.

We have a mantra here "get back ups for your back ups!"

Please keep asking questions, no matter how trivial they may seem.

And please let us know how you get on.

Agree with the suggestions already made,
Would also like to suggest these tobacco liquids, I've only tried the American Tobacco flavour so far, but I really like it and I think they're great for newbies as they stay clear and don't gunk the coil, so don't need to worry about cleaning so often. You can tell that it's good quality liquid.

OK, I'll do that as well as it makes sense to push it all into one order. If the average is 3-5ml then your right, I will need something like a 20ml bottle - noted and thanks.

WOW!! What a great, informative and friendly forum this is, I must admit that like all new posts on a new forum, I was a little hesitant as to what kind of reaction I would get but this has been a great experience so thanks to all of you who have helped and advised me tonight and I will of course let you know how I get on.

Hello vapourized

[Phoenix .]

Welcome to the forum Vapourized hope you enjoy your venture into Vaping, just a little note , if you order from Vapeescape as soon as possible in the morning you have an excellent chance of getting it Saturday morning, Jason is very quick at despatching orders.

[Bluefish]

welcome to the forum vapourized, defo get a few differant flavours, believe me there is no telling what you will like flavour wise, and even if you don't like some thing you can always sell it on or swap it in the classifieds section.

Hello vapourised and welcome to this great forum.

I've only been vaping for about a month and not had a stinkie for three weeks and haven't had any cravings at all. I'm using the Riva kit with a selection of 18mg juices so I think you'll do fine with your set up. Good luck!

Hi and WELCOME Vapourized!!

Put your slippers on, your'e in for a great journey!!

Lots of fantastic, helpful and cheery people on here, I've been a member for less than a week and feel like ive known them all forever!!

It can all seem a little daunting ( and maybe a little expensive) at first, but trust me it all works out many times cheaper once you get settled and established with what type of gear you like, Finding your favourite liquid can be fun as there are a million and one different flavours, Rum, Caramel, French Pipe, all the fruits you can imagine, they even do a Jammy Dodger flavor!! (Right Ellie?).

Its also important to remember that even though youre taking in nicotine, it has recently been established that you would need to vape for 6 months to receive the bad stuff that a single cigarrette contains, enjoy your journey to Zero nicotine and beyond !!

That was so funny as that is just me - slippers on and puffing away in the lounge.

One more question I thought of before I order this morning and that is up until Monday I was smoking on average about 60 a day JPS Blacks which have a nicotine content of only 10mg so am I right in saying that the nicotine content of an ordinary cig would be the same as for a vape or is there a formula that works out to an equivalent?

I just want to make sure that I get the right 'dosage' if that's the correct phrase, the 10 Motives I'm vaping at the moment are 18mg and I'm getting through those like there is no tomorrow, they are supposed to be (according to the packaging) the equivalent of 30 ordinary cigs and as I'm using about two a day then I guess the equates to 60 a day which is about right.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

Nicotine is absorbed at a different rate with vaping so you can't apply much logic because there haven't been enough studies to work out what the intake is, but...... I was on 30+ Marlboro lights a day and 20 seems about right for me (or 24 if I am in a nicotine mood), as long as you aren't feeling dizzy, nautious etc when vaping you have probably got the mix right for you.

It's all a bit trial and error, go to low and you are hankering after more, go too much and you feel ill.

Hello and #welcome2# from me too

[Skwoddy]

As Tim says, sometimes it's just best to listen to your body though, for people like you, or all of us for that matter, we generally know when we're not getting enough, and our bodies will complain. Too much or too little you will soon know, but great question. Nice to have some idea of where to start to avoid any unnecessary feelings. The things you notice at the beginning though are all the positives you get from giving up smoking, more energy, no morning cough, deeper cleaner breathing. Not to mention sense of smell, taste and generally feeling better.
