Hello to all of you!

[pegasus3]

Hiya, as a newbie myself this forum has been fab so helpful & I've been off the stinkies since Saturday!
I bought the itaste vv from myepack, it's great & very easy to use. I've just ordered another battery & some replacement coils, I like the dekang Virginia gold & I also have their mint vanilla which is refreshing, have a load of others coming from Juice Juice too.
Good luck I'm sure you'll manage just fine

Iam really enjoying my itaste vv3 & you can fit most tanks on the top. Got the iclear16s with it very good but they burn the juice away quick. I still prefer my £3.99 evod on top of the itaste & juice lasts longer due to single coil

pegasus3 - I'm not far from you and Greg might be even closer if you need some face to face help ....just drop me (can't speak for gregb) a pm

Okay ....

I think I've done enough research & can't put this off forever

I am JUST ABOUT to order the EVOD Starter Kit from myepack - just have to decide whether to go for the black, stainless steel or black or blue (arghhhh) lol

JUST before I do (please don't groan & scream "JUST GET ON WITH IT, MAN!") ... as I said in one of my first ever posts in here, I was going to go for the lookalike cigs but that's way way gone now & I'm just going to go for the 'proper' stuff.

At the moment, having smoked 20+ medium cigarettes a day for so long (Rothmans, Mayfair, Winston, Pall Mall etc etc) for 20+ years, I can say at the moment I would like a tobacco 'throat kick' to start with, then after a while, try the unusual flavours available, reducing the strength & give up the cigarettes forever & ever amen.

Should I buy the 18mg or 24mg flavour & maybe 2 or 3 tobacco flavours to find one that suits me? Should I chuck a different flavour in the first order too just to see what's available?

What else should I order at my first attempt/order?

The kit (as you guys probably know) comes with 2 x 650mah batteries, 2 x 1.5ml clearomisers (2.5ohm resistance whatever that is), 5 x Bottom Coil Heads (2.2ohm) & 1 x 500mA eGo Fast USB Charger.

Sorry to go on & on & on & on, but apart from the flavours, what else do I need so I don't get caught out & run out of "stuff" and go for a real ciggie to get through the pain & suffering lol

Thank you in advance for your "Get this, this & this & you'll be ok for weeks" advice

for e liquid strength, I think its more about your 'mix' to get throat hit? Try and get an e liquid (juice) thats more near 80pg (propylene glycol) 20vg (vegetable glycerin) combination ...that way you get a kick from the pg

VG - vapour clouds
PG - Throat hit

[djs]

I wouldn't be tempted to chuck in another flavour as I can't recall finding anything worth vaping outside of the "tobacco" zone.

(Maybe a menthol?)

You could stick a pin blindfolded in the map and click on "Strawberry curd cheesecake with Lychee shreds" but it won't taste remotely like that.

That's why we have LT ecigs.

[DiscoDes]

Many will disagree but I've seen many ask the same question over the years and in my experience I say get one or 2 at 24mg, the reason being that strength will give a quick nicotine hit in the early days to stop any cravings. As your body adjusts then you can go lower later and find your level, but high first is my recommendation. Get some 18mg as well.

And for GODS SAKE press that button!

I started with a similar eGo kit, can't even remember what liquid I bought except I went for the middle, 12mg. I've recently been on 24mg, only due to the other strengths in my favourite juice were out of stock, and to be honest I've not noticed much difference.

Regarding your 'pain & suffering' quote, unless you're very unlucky you'll not experience that.

And... as DiscoDes... or was it Nike said... Just Do It!

[CaptainChaos]

I FINALLY DID IT!

Here is my order (just done) from myepack, after a lot of very helpful advice & words from you guys:


EVOD Starter Kit (Black) 1 £28.99 (I wanted the blue one but they're out of stock)
UK Iphone Style Mains USB Adapter 1 £3.99

10ml King Of Tobacco 18mg 1 £2.49
10ml King Of Tobacco 24mg 1 £2.49
10ml RY 4 18mg 1 £2.49
10ml RY 4 24mg 1 £2.49
10ml Triple 5 18mg 1 £2.49
10ml Triple 5 24mg 1 £2.49
10ml Double Mint 18mg 1 £2.49
10ml Mint 18mg 1 £2.49

Subtotal £52.90


I think that should cover my ecigaretting for a short while, don't you think?

And a huge thank you to all of you for your advice & help.

Good choices! - Chill, now you have down the hard bit -Its all easier from now.

I have been vaping for 5 months now and like you was confused at the start (understatement). I was a 20 a day man for 20 odd years and stopped smoking cold turkey after my first vaping experience. I started on Evods and loved them, still do, in fact am using one now and have a spinner and MVP in my armoury. They are great and will work for you in that I have no doubt.

Dont worry about finding that tobacco flavour substitute, when you start trying all those lovely flavours out there you will get were I am coming from -you will see

Once you are up and running from my experience I would like to nudge you in the direction of-

www.joosejuice.co.uk - Cheap as chips juices, my favs are all the mints/menthol, bubblegum (try mixing with a drop or 2 of menthol for a really great bubblygumminty attack on your taste buds) - Belgium waffle , in fact try them all, you know it makes sense! - go for 60/40 PG/VG mix and you cant go wrong. Higher the PG = More Throat hit -Higher VG = Vapour. I went straight for 12mg nicotine, but you may want a bit stronger to start with. The 30mls are BOGOF (but he does not advertise this fact you just get 60mls for price of 30mls, but you may want to go for the 10mls tasters to find your favs first.

Myepack -You already know, great for spares.

But this website is the big daddy of vaping help/wonderous advice/ patience and knowledge. In fact it should be funded by the NHS for the number of people who have stopped smoking due to the help/advice given.

Anyway welcome, sit back, strap yourself in, and enjoy the ride!

[CaptainChaos]

Thanks, bracken - I will look at joosejuice once I have started to get through what I've ordered & then try "bubblegum & chilli pepper" or something hahahahaha

[bracken]

Lol - Some people recommend washing the clearomiser out when changing flavours but me I like to vape through flavours and enjoy the mix/blends, you get by doing so.

Keep us posted by the way. And remember..................No such thing as a stupid question.

[Mrsmac]

Don't remember saying Hello previously so 'hello' and you have been given very sound advice, let us know how it goes with you're new kit!
