Hey! :) Another newbie with questions....

[ELTIEN]

Hi y'all,
Wanted to break my lurker silence and make a post & say hello & a wee thanks for all the info everyone's been piling into these forums, they've been a huge help.

I started vaping on Christmas day....
I wasn't actually intending on giving up smoking... at all.
I didn't think I was ready to... I've been smoking for 26 yrs or so... quite often chain smoking. (I smoked rollies, so hard to keep track of how many, but a 50g pouch would last 3-4 days)

I had more of a "I'm gonna start vaping" attitude.... rather than a give up smoking mentality, so I blithely picked the day where I'd be stressed out with cooking, and squiffy drunk by the evening... (which is normally the kind of day I would smoke a LOT)... (so *not* a day you would choose to stop smoking, if you had any sense)

Well, as it turned out... I like vaping rather a lot more than smoking!

I had one roll-up cig on Boxing day, coz the vape pen was charging... and it was horrid.
I mean... really horrid.
I didn't think that'd happen after 24 hrs, but it gave me a dirty head rush & queasy stomach that I don't think I had felt since I first started smoking.... I'm presuming it was the carbon monoxide?
Either way... I haven't had even the teeniest urge to smoke since.
Vaping seems to be ticking all the addiction urges, but with nicer flavours... To me, its like discovering a Willie Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper, with nicotine.... awesome!!
Wish to feck I'd started vaping sooner!!


But cheers for all the informative posts in here... they've especially been helpful finding juices I like... I'm sure I'll be posting questions about box mods and tanks soon enough. I'm currently using an Aspire pockex and finding it a nice starting point. I can mtl and dtl on it, but am wanting something that gives better flavour, coz some of the juices I've bought I really don't think its bringing out the best in them. (Manabush.... Druid's Brew.... there are flavour notes I am just not finding on the pockex .... at all... some of them taste downright weird to me, like Two Arrows.... I love rhubarb, I even eat rhubarb raw... on the pockex its tasting like someone stirred a glass of water with a stick of rhubarb and forgot to give me the biscuity part... and I seriously doubt its the liquids fault)

Am eyeballing the Eleaf iStick Power 80W... and also the N-vape Midi Pro tanks coz they look simple & cost effective to re-wick and the reviews seem v positive.
I'd like a versatile mod where I can switch tanks for dtl/mtl coz I enjoy both... and I'd like to be able to vape DTL at 3mg or 6mg as there's more variety juices and easier on the pocket...
At the moment I'm finding 12mg MTL on the pockex to be harsh but hits my craving, but 6mg juices on it seem to be much, much nicer to vape, taste much better, but at that strength I'm chain vaping between dtl/mtl to satisfy cravings, I'm just not getting enough vapour from it, I don't think.

Does that iStick sound like a good starting place?
Does anyone use it with the N-vape clearomizer?
Any recommendations for a sub-ohm tank option for it?
Ah bloomin' newbie with loads of questions... sorry

Ahh was gonna say - you could pop up to our shop in Notts if you were in the area - as in the other thread .. do have a think about looking into rebuildable .. that is where you are going to get the best out of the kind of juices you are vaping

Hi and welcome to the community @WonkyFox . The Innokin Kroma R kit is worth considering for MTL

Cheers! I went with this suggestion in the end... after much dithering... seemed like it, and the eLeaf T80 are both similar enough mods, but since the Innokin kit comes with a decent tank and a wide choice of coils I thought made it the more cost effective next step. And sure... even if my next purchase is an RTA, it'll stay handy to have around.

I will definitely be looking at rebuildables, it does seem the sensible option long term, but its a lot to learn so I just need a slightly more satisfying vape than the pockex in the meantime while I'm getting my head around wtf I'm doing.
My boyfriend is trying to get into vaping as well... but not adapting as well as me... but he's definitely never, ever, everrrrrr going to be the rebuildable type... lol...
Lets just say, whenever we go fishing, I have to deal with the hook end of his line for him, coz its just too much of a faff for him... he gets pissed off and starts roaring at it... and I'm seeing a similar trend with the Pockex, coz he's managed to drown two coils now by screwing them in upside down...
so I guess he can eventually inherit that Innokin Kroma when I tire of it. (coz I'm not gonna be fecking building coils for him)

It's a good safe choice. I quite fancy the mod myself. There will be plenty of help when you decide to take the plunge into rebuildables.
