Hi... new vaper with a couple of questions

[phiant101]

Hi, I've been vaping for three weeks and I'm loving it. After a bit of experimentation I'm using clearomizers with great liquids from Paradise Vapes (saw the recommendations on the forum). I was smoking 40 B&H a day (for nearly 30 years) and I'm now down to two first thing in the morning. I'm struggling to get rid of those two but strangely; vaping seems too harsh in the morning, or is that an excuse - I don't know?

Is it usual to stay on a few cigarettes a day for a while? Any tips for that early morning craving and getting rid of cigarettes altogether?

I've heard and seen a lot about carto tanks and I'm interested in trying them, where's the best place to start?

Thanks for letting me join the forum - it's already been really helpful over the past few weeks.


Oh and one top tip from me for newbies like myself - cinnamon and spiced liquids can eat clearomisers  It took me a Vivi Nova and an I'M Bomb to figure it out.

Hello and phiant101

If you've cut down from 40 a day to 2 in the morning you're doing great

It can take a while to settle on the best set up and e-juice for yourself, so don't worry about still smoking a couple in the early days!

Have you tried cartos yet? A carto tank is just really a way of keeping the carto fed with juice!

Hello & welcome phiant101

Yes, it's more than normal to stay on a few cigs a day for a while It's one of the best things about e-cigs - you aren't under any pressure at all, just use them as a replacement to real cigs as much as you want to.

Thanks

Which carto tank would you recommend as a starting point?

I had trouble saying goodbye to the first few of the day. Terribly hard. I still vape like a mad man and drink too much caffeine in the morning.

I have been on carto tanks recently. My favourite is the AGR I got from Vape Gear.

Welcome to you Phiant.

It took me several weeks to get past wanting that first one of the morning, after that I've never looked back. Not all of us make a complete switch immediately, some vapers also smoke a few ciggies each day. Do what feels right for you.

You may find this list useful for eliquids/flavourings known to cause issues in some Polycarbonate tanks:

Oh yes, good point. I already knew I like carto's. Too much really.....

Hi phiant101 and a big vapey  
Wow, well done you  you've gone from 40 cigs down to a measly 2, that's excellent, good on you. There's nothing written in stone about vaping and smoking cigs, some people  take days, weeks, even months to say Tease-smileyto stinkie cigs. You need to just go with the flow, 2 isn't bad is it??  With the morning vape, maybe take lighter draws, or go for a nice mellow juice, less nic strength and have that just as your morning one?

Have you tried cartos yet?  Not everyone likes them     

For a first carto tank something like these ones are cheap and cheerful

my favourite ones are these

Thanks for all of the advice guys, really helpful.

The carto tanks look a bit complicated, do you know if there are any that come ready to use?

[Perpetua]

They sound more complicated than they really are Phiant . . . but there's the Kanger Protank, the heads are replaceable with these and is so simple to do. Plus it is a glass tank so you wouldn't have any issues with cracking.

Or there's a Dual Coil Tank:

That comes with a pre-punched installed carto.

Hi Phiant and a warm welcome.
Well done you, for cutting down by so much. 38 x 7 = 496 no 38 x 365 divided by 12 = 573992 no 38 x 12 x 52 then take away the first number you thought of? ??? ???
Blimey, that loads of money saved.

[phiant101]

Thanks Perpetua I've ordered a tank... looking forward to trying it.

Max & Paddy are a bit cute aren't they

Hugely snogable I'd say Phiant.

 Thanks, I've saved a fortune already, I might actually get off the weed this time.
