New vaper signing in

[jibber]

Hi everyone. I'm very new to vaping, five days in but my journey to start vaping is I'd imagine a lot different than most. OK don't shout at me. I quit smoking four years ago January just gone using Champix and haven't touched a cig since. It was a struggle but I did it. The problem though is that I have gained almost two stone in weight and the final thing which pushed me into trying vaping was when last week I struggled to get into a suit I'd bought last summer. So I thought I'd try vaping to curb my appetite. I never put weight on all through my life, I could eat anything and my weight stayed the same but off the cigs I couldn't stop gaining. Sounds a bit crazy I know but that is where I am. I purchased a Sigelei V3 telescopic kit and received it on Monday. Didn't like the burnt taste I was getting with the supplied clearomiser and after reading up on here and other places ordered a Kanger protank which I got on Wednesday which performs a lot better. Just need some decent e liquid now as the vanilla one I'm using is getting dull.

Thanks. I got it from a shop in town. I did a lot of research before I took the plunge regarding mods etc but very little research into e liquids. I got a vanilla and one called green mint made by 'crystalclear vapours'. The green mint is way too menthol for me but the vanilla one is ok. I've got some Vanilla custard elixir from Totally vaped on the way and some Very Berry from Vapology on the way. I hope these will give me more flavour than the ones I've tried.

Lots of vapology fans on here ... also have look at vapeescape.co.uk and the grizwalds range ... am sure others will chip in with suggestions

The holy grail of the vanilla fans is grantsvanillacustard.com/

But why not get a sample pack? If you want to stick with sweet flavours then www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/5x10ml%20samples would be good.

If you want to try a wider range, including tobaccos, www.miragecigarettes.co.uk/shop/oasis-e-liquid-sample-pack.html will give you the most tastes for the least money.

Some protanks give a very airy vape which reduces the flavour. If yours is one of them you might like to try blocking up one of the holes.

Hi Jibber and Welcome

Try adding a few drops of green mint into the tank with the vanilla might spice it up a bit until you get new juices. Watch out as menthol can overwhelm any other flavour

I did hear about the grants vanilla custard but it seems it's hard to get hold of. One I'll try to kop when it's available. The sample packs sound like a great idea so I'll definitely look into that. The vape is very airy with the protank like you said so I will block one of the holes up and give it a whirl. Never realised that blocking a hole up would increase flavour but it makes sense when you think about it. Thanks for the advice.


Ash - thanks for the links, I'll check them out.

Thanks. Never thought of that, might try it.

Welcome Jibber. As said above it's a better choice than smoking and it can also be a bit more of a Hobby than Smoking.
Your wallet will, of course, be worn out quickly

Hi jibber and welcome
seems a shame that after so long you start to consume nicotine again, i have this wonderfull workout dvd set which only takes 30-45 mins a day and you get great results i think anyone who cannot spare 30 odd mins a day is lieing to themselves take a look il post the link below as if the vaping helps it will still not burn of the excess weight.

it can be a little tough but if you want super fast results its the one for you

Hi jibber, and welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find all the advice you need here, although I do agree with posters above, what a shame to start back on the nicotine after so long off it. Not sure that vaping will stop the pounds piling on though . . .

A warm welcome to you Jibber.


I've a huge sweet tooth, so I vape mainly sweety/candy/dessert flavours . . . vaping them, stops me from munching them. All the pleasure without the calories, if you're the same then it could be worth looking at getting some of these type of flavours.

You could also buy zero nicotine eliquid just to see if the mechanic's of vaping and a yummy flavour are enough to curb your munchies with needing any nicotine to satisfy them.

Good luck, don't forget there's generally always someone about if you need any help.
