Perhaps not "Vape mail" but rather "Make a vape mail"



A mate and I are formulating a plan. He has sent this lot over. There be lots of parts that properly belong inside a mod. That is an  Evolve DNA 75 among the bits and bobs.

Nothing soon - but talks are happening and plans being drawn up.

Tagging Chrissie - just to ensure you see the request above.

Crack the window when ya vaping. Blow your vapour toward the gap. Helps to reduce how quick the build up happens.

** Yeah - I know, it's cold there *shrug* So turn up the heater. But set it to "defrost" to push the air over your windscreen which helps keep the vapour away from the screen.

All that said - I reckon the film buildup from vaping is no where near as bad as the scrunge from cigarette smoke.

Exactly as Perpetua says - if it works it's good!

Of course, everybody's different. But it may well be worth a go for your new convert.

I remember when I first swapped from cigarettes. I didn't listen to all those who had gone before. I insisted I needed something that tasted like the smokes I was giving up. So I started with tobacco flavours that were, to me, absolutely hideous (and glugged up coils terribly). Finally, in frustration, I listened to those who had previously tried to tell me "no - you really do not want a cigarette tasting vape".

Remember too - at that stage tastes are likely messed up and prolly will change/recover soon after their big change. Likely your new vaper friend may well experience similar. So, what they first like in a vape flavour is likely to change and perhaps quite quickly.

I suggest, for any potential person switching, having 2 or 3 very different flavours available (maybe including unflavoured) to give them a choice of what they prefer, and, perhaps a sample of the flavour possibilities now open to them.

Oh - and easy to understand/use/maintain reliable gear - at least to start with.

Well, that's my opinion anyway

Whatever way you go, good luck to you helping out your friend.

I'd be one who says that. And, maybe, it is strange. *shrug* But it does work for me.

When smoking, after those decades of killing my taste buds, I certainly wasn't tasting any sort of tobacco. Smelling the stuff before lighting up, sure, but not when actually burning the stuff.

It seems to me that many vape tobacco flavours do well reproducing the smell/aroma of the tobacco in the packet - especially some of the very aromatic rolly/pouch variants. But that's not what I tasted when I smoked.

I find unflavoured, especially when mindlessly vaping whilst doing other things (like messing around in the shed) to be a very suitable substitute for the smokes I use to mindlessly consumed doing those same tasks.

I'd suggest making up a small test batch and put it to the test. You never know! And, bonus points: it's cheap and ya coils/wicks last well too.

Extra idea - add just the slightest hint of just a trace of menthol to that unflavoured mix. (I mean, go really, really, really light with it). That too, works well for me.

Yeah, I know, somewhat unusual, especially around these parts (Hi Perpetua! *wave*) - but there are some of us around who do vape unflavoured at least periodically. I always have one tank of unflavoured in my regular daily rotation.

Maybe. Donno.

Just what I've seen over a coupla years using 8 or 9 different flavours (I concurrently run about 7 or 8 atties all the time) from three suppliers using two types of atties, all mixed with the same batch of nic, same supplier of PG, same supplier of VG.

I certainly am no expert in coils and I have only ever used simple kanthal contact coils at somewhat humble wattages (always less than 20 watts), but I've certainly noticed that my coils do slowly "go off" over time.

That's over a long time - like months - with numerous dryburns over their life. Finally, after a good while, I sorta get the feeling "that's not quite as qood as I remember". Wind a new coil, rewick and presto, back to how I remember. Somehow, it's sorta cleaner and fresher tasting.

I cannot explain why - just that I've found kanthal coils, for me, do seem to age with use.

Not that I find it to be any particular problem - kanthal's cheap and it really doesn't take that long to make a new simple coil (when I can work up the motivation to do so).
