Thanks for this Ron.
New Zealand are being obviously a bit more progressive than Australia with this.
Really think Oz have to re-think the Government's position with vaping/ecigs.
It's great I can order from UK or US, though would be even better if you could get it locally.
Cheers

Thanks for this Des, and also other members for the great advice *cheers*

Yes Des the Smok Nano had a TFV4 atomiser with it. I just also bought a Joytech Cubis which the guy said would be a good 50/50 unit between throat/lung and lung direct and am experimenting.
Nearly all the pre-made (Apollo) juices are 50/50 ratio at 12mg/nico.
I also have all the stuff now from Alchemist's Cupboard, VG, PG, 72/100mil, bottles, syringes etc.
I have flavours from Alch, Cup, Crave, Fusion, Artistry Extracts, Natural and Capella in assorted flavours.
I haven't been "tight" with my purchases as I really want to get on top of the fags.
I also have Egos (I think?) from Apollo, Smok and Vape only, along with 3 different atomiser/cart things. Actually about 15 so I can load up different flavours to figure what I like.
I will take the advice from you guys and try using 24/28 instead of 12/14.
What you all say makes a lot of sense.
I have to say that I'm enjoying playing around with different combos cauldron-smiley

Will report back in due course re how it's going, and once again can't thank you all enough.
Cheers for now.
Rod

Thanks for the lovely welcomes everyone :-)
I am still experimenting at this stage.
I was smoking 25-30 cigs a day and have done for 40 years. Sorry to admit this :-(
I am using 14mgs of nic in the flavours but am still finding I need to have a cig here or there. Actually have been counting them (a bit anal )
I am still smoking about 6-10 cigs per day.
Am thinking I should increase the nic level but really don't know.
I have bought several pens. Some with VV and assorted carts.
Have also just yesterday bought a "Smok" Nano R-Steam which is fun to make big vapes.
I'm probably a hard core smoker so really don't care about making clouds so much as getting satisfaction from the vape machine/s no matter which kind.
I have actually had 4 heart attacks and have had multiple bypasses etc so really am a bit keen to stop the cigs.
If I don't I will not be here within a few years. As per quotes from 2 cardiologists. Eeeeek.
All a bit confronting.
Anyway re strength of juce/nic I would like some advice.
I realise the info is probably here somewhere but I run out of energy searching

Thanks again all for the very warm welcome.
Cheers, Rod

Well, the Smok R-Steam Nano looks like a good device, did you get the kit with the Nano TFV4 Atomiser?
If not what atomiser do you have?
I ask because The more efficient the atomiser the lower strength liquid you can use, because the device/atomiser is giving more vapour and therefore more Nicotine.

My initial thought is you need to up the nicotine strength of the liquid to help curb the nicotine cravings.

The next time you order your e-liquid buy some higher strengths (in small quantities) but if you can include some 24mg and 18mg. Try the 24 first, if you find it a bit too harsh then go to the 18mg and see if this helps.

Also what make liquid do you buy? Does it list the Vegetable Glycering (VG) and the Propylene Glycol (PG) ratio?
Higher PG may work for you as this gives "throat hit" which smokers can sometimes crave, VG gives clouds but is very mild on the throat.

Do not throw any liquid away we can advise how you will be able to drop or raise the nicotine strength if you need to, so you will not waste it.

Yes please tell us what you have bought and what nicotine strength the e-liquid is that you are using. Also you are still smoking, what is it that Vaping is not doing for you that enables you to kick the stinkies completely?

We are here to help.

Hello & welcome rodrocket

Out of interest, what kit did you buy?

Hi Chrissie.
I bought the "Gold" kit from Alchemist's Cupboard.
Am currently putting nic in all the e-juice flavours which I've bought

Am still at a loss with finding a good tobacco flavour and figure I might just forget it.
Love this forum.

I live in Hobart, Tasmania, am 60y/o and am trying desperately to stop smoking.

Have tried so many times to quit and failed :-(

Am now obviously Vaping, and have significantly reduced the ciggie intake which is brilliant :-)

Have read a huge amount on this forum and am stunned at the knowledge base contained within.

As a newbie it's pretty daunting to figure what and what not to buy etc, so am very thankful for all the advice.

Nicotine itself is not available in OZ which is a pain, but have bought a kit from UK and am now a happy vaper.

Thanks again for this site everyone.

Best regards,
Rod
