Feeling pleased with myself

[reefcat]

Major shopping trip this morning to the only half serious shop in the Algarve. Another Istick 50w, subtank mini, some VG, some flavours and a Mutation X V3 RDA.

I had some very old Tjuice concentrates and some made up juices, all at 22mg. So have been trying to dilute the juices down to 6mg nic, whilst upping the VG & retaining the flavour. I used an online calculator and think I have managed to get half decent versions of Vamp Vape, Red Astaire & Jack the Ripple, with a touch of extra raspberry. Have also managed to coil and wick the atomizers, first serious go at sub ohm coils, 0.6 is the lowest I have tried so far, although I am desperate to have a play at the hardcore stuff

A couple of years ago I really thought that I would never get any real satisfaction out of vaping, and struggled, unsuccessfully, to totally give up ciigarettes. I had never tried direct to lung inhaling, don't think my gear would have supported it, so am really astonished at how great it is to get clouds & flavour. Really think I'm on the way to getting it cracked this time around. Didn't have a ciggie this morning, for probably the first time in 43 years or so, and not missing it at all.....

Already resurrected my old Fastech account with an order for some clone RDAs, oh dear the bug is starting to bite again. Will have to dig out my old box of gear and donate it to some sort of museum, or more likely sling it in the bin.

What an excellent place this forum is, I've needed to research all the advances, and a simple search on here usually turns up the answers and insights I'm looking for. So a huge thank you to all the contributors, an incredible resource for new (and returning) vapers.

Sorry for the rambling post....excited

It's easier now than ever it was I reckon. Some really good stuff out now. The newbies don't know they're born !!! I remember being overwhelmed with a spinner and vivi nova lmao
Stick at it reefcat seems you've cracked the basics now. Onwards and upwards!!

Great news, and thanks for keeping us posted. You certainly stand a much improved chance of quitting the stinkies now than at any other time in the past.
I started with a little eGo 650mah battery and a CE3 Clearomiser - and it was the dog's danglies for me then. Now I'm puffing away on an MVP3 Pro at 30w with my Goblin dual-coiled at .5ohm with some homemade juice in, and still off the fags, that's the most important thing for me.

Keep the posts coming, and best of luck as you rediscover all those lovely juices!

reefcat tis my vapeaversary tomorrow (look at my signature! ) and I just found a mech mod from way back then! I'm keeping it for posterity.

I started vaping just before variable voltage was mod able. Before then it was 'just' provari and there was no way back then I was going to spent £200 on a mod!!! LOL

My first mod (after briefly dipping into cigalikes with a titan from TW) was a wee 14500 box mod from liberty flights for about £15 plus batteries; cartos etc. then I got a screwdriver clone from some modder on UKV - the rest is history.

Started on about 36mg/ml folka. I started vaping to 'get off the stinkies' then it 'took over my life' LOL.... icon_shoppingm but I know without it I wouldn't be debt free and I wouldn't be as well as I am now!

Viva vaping!!

Nice one reefcat. Good luck this time around. Now you've cracked how to get a decent hit and a flavor, the stinkies should be history.

P.S. @johanino Happy Vapeaversary. Thats a nice number to see on your banner

@johanino Happy Vaperaversary, you helped me on my way to vaping

[reefcat]

Happy vapeaversary @mod Destroyer hopefully mods are less easy to destroy these days I remember fiddling about with tubes, batteries, centre pins on the 501 connector and on the attie. On some mods it was really a black art just to get some power to the atomiser in the first place. It was like tubular meccano, but more difficult.

How do you tag?? seem to have got it wrong

I'm johanino on the tagging reefcat or go to the button with the wee mannie and the @ symbol (next to the movie symbol) on the top right of the reply box....should you tag

I have my 'mod destroying bag' - things can still be destroyed quite easily LOL
