Advice for complete newbie who's struggling a bit!

If you want juice to cover 6 weeks I would say take around 150ml. Most people seem to use around 2 - 5ml a day. I use about 2-3ml. So 15 x 10ml bottles lots of different flavours. If you find any a you particularly like at joosejuice their 30mls are bogoff though it's not advertised there is also a discount code on the discount thread. Smoke rainbow do 1 ml samples for around 60p of most of the higher end juices they have hundreds of different ones to try they take around a week to arrive. www.smokerainbow.com

Hi, I'm in the same boat, I've had the my epack starter kit for about 2 weeks now and realise it's just not stopping my cravings for a real fag, when I vape on it I'm just not getting the amount of vape and taste I thought I would even though I'm using tobacco juice at 2.4, do I need to upgrade? I was looking at the Nautilus from My epack, would this give me a stronger vape? could I use it with my original e pack? or could you good people advise me on an alternative, after 60 years of smoking I need something quite strong, I have seriously thought of saying to hell with it and reverting back to the chemical sticks but if I can find something suitable I'll stick with it. Thank you all, Jamesrd.

Do you live anywhere near an experienced Vaper, or near an impending Vape-Meet? I really think a hour spent with someone with experience would help. 24mg should kick the cravings, so it must be the ecig you are using. You don't actually say which one it is?

Is it variable voltage or a fixed voltage ecig? let us know and we'll help you.

Thanks again everyone! - all ordered, let's see how this goes..!

@ wibble: ah yeah, I'm going to Brazil for 6 weeks! A work trip, though: working on the World Cup. Keeping fingers crossed it might not be ALL work, although most of it will be, haha.

thanks babs! - I went for 120ml for the 6 weeks, so... maybe slightly low, but it might be enough... One thing's for sure: if I get through all the 120ml, it's going to mean I like the thing, anyway!

Hmm, not sure they sell e-juice in Bahia, or even in Rio come to think of it!! I would rather take too much than end up vaping like a train and running out in week 5!
I suspect that cig-a-likes might be available, but not sure about anything more sophisticated!
Have a good trip, and try and visit a samba Escola if you're in Rio, the energy is awesome

Hi Disco Des, the type I'm using is the evod and it's a fixed voltage battery, to my knowledge there is no one around Durham where I could get advice. I did see on youtube that the Nautilus was about as good as one can get hence my interest, I've looked at all the other types that My epack evod offer but I'm damned if I can make my mind up on just what, all I want is a e cig that gives off a really good throat hit with lots of vaper, I can't afford to waste money so it has got to be right. thanks Des, Jamesrd.

Hi jamesrd, you will get more specific advice if you create a new thread in the absolute beginners/new members section. Look for the "create thread" button in the top right hand corner.

I wonder if you issue is with the liquids you are using, how many different flavours have you tried from different companies?

As far as I'm aware e-cigs are illegal in Brazil so doubt very much there'll be a vape shop anywhere.  I don't think it's illegal to use one, but importing or selling are.
