As the old one is nearly full!

All & any vaping chat welcome.

No question is too daft to ask. We've all been there at the start of vaping in the minefield that it is.

Only rule is: No Willy Waving!!

Vape mail from fasttech arrived Smile. I was red carded by postie but phoned the sorting office and they told me where the van was so I stalked him down. Vaping has made me a little crazy!

The mini nautilus is fab though. Loving it compared to my other tank

ineedausername · 06/05/2015 19:25

mine still isn't here :(

McNo · 06/05/2015 19:38

When did youorder indeed?

sherbetlemonD · 06/05/2015 21:01

Just a couple of questions all.

Firstly- when I fill up and then vape, I get a really strong throat hit. Then when my cart is about half full I get nothing. Is that normal??

Also- does anyone know of a tobacco juice that tastes like Silk Cut? The one I got with my e cig is just too strong and I don't think Blueberry is doing anything for me really as i'm starting to crave.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 06/05/2015 21:44

Hello sherbert,

Firstly- when I fill up and then vape, I get a really strong throat hit. Then when my cart is about half full I get nothing. Is that normal??

No, that doesn't sound right - are you still getting vapour? What kit are you using?

There are 3 things to consider when choosing eliquid:

  1. strength - do your tobacco and blueberry contain the same amount of nicotine?

  2. PG/VG mix - PG for throat hit and flavour, VG for lots of vapour. Most cheapo liquid is 80% PG, 20% VG unless it says otherwise. Your blueberry might have a higher amount of VG which will give it less throat hit.

  3. flavour - there isn't any juice which can quite replicate the taste of smoke (something you'll probably appreciate as time goes on Grin), however you might find one of the tobacco-ish flavours that suits you - the trick is to not expect it to taste the same.

I like Hangsen RY4 and RY6 mixed together. It's 80/20 PG/VG. RY4 is kind of sweetish tobacco/vanilla/caramel, RY6 is a harsher tobacco-ish flavour. I buy mine from Premier but loads of places sell it.

sherbetlemonD · 06/05/2015 21:48

I still get vapour. Where is the best place for liquid? I've been buying from here: www.ukecigstore.com/

groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml?compid=soc--ghs--youtube-mums_eye-allie_evans-sep14--john-frieda-hairspray-1645656&#!product/910001388180

This is the e cig I have. Maybe I need to upgrade to something better Grin

Does anyone know if these are legit?: www.nucig.co.uk/product-p/elq-slkt.htm

magimedi · 06/05/2015 23:04

I think you need to up grade - the nucig ones look like a cig-a-like type & they are not as good as some others around.

Try something like this:

www.ecigwizard.com/electronic-cigarette-starter-kits/standardbundle.html

Or if you have an independent vape shop near you go down there & talk to them.

I ordered on the 25th.. i'm just impatient lol!!

McNo · 07/05/2015 07:10

I'm not known for my patience either Indeed Grin. My order was 22nd so your shouldn't be long now.

pinkrocker · 07/05/2015 17:25

My order from Amazon (as linked earlier) arrived today, it's enormous! I thought I'd ordered a mini nautilus but I appear to have an immense machine bigger than my hand!!

magimedi · 07/05/2015 17:29

You'll get used to it very quuickly - I promise!

This thread has disappeared from my I'm on list. Glad it's popped up again. Sounds like you're all doing great.

I'm still going strong with the istick and mini nautilus. The last lot of coils I got are the best ones I've tried.

I have recently discovered strawberry champagne flavoured juice and it's fabulous. I also have banana, berry, tobacco and grape on the go and have discovered I hate menthol.

I'm in my 5th month now and not a rollie has passed my lips Smile

pinkrocker · 07/05/2015 19:49

Polter I can't unscrew the damn thing! My hands are now shredded, it's supposed to be tight but this....its ridiculous!!
Megan strawberry champagne!!? Mmmm! Where's that from? I mix my menthol with other flavours (strawberry seduction is good from ecigwiz, other suppliers are available )

Gentle go with the pliers was what sorted me out, before I learnt not to over tighten!

megan well done on 5 months & am glad you've found us again as you are the leader to the watering holes for the vipers' meet - no pressure!! Grin

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/stop_smoking/2330573-Brighton-meet-up-for-the-vaping-vipers?msgid=54200847

Really looking forward to that meet.

pinkrocker · 08/05/2015 18:46

I haven't even managed to get liquid into it as I can't open it from its "in the box state".

MeganChips · 08/05/2015 19:03

I hope my watering holes don't disappoint magi, it looks like there are a few local folk so we'll be fine. To be fair, if they serve wine, job done as far as I'm concerned Grin

Pinkrocker, I got it from my local vape shop. If you come to the meet you can get some too!

DollyTwat · 08/05/2015 19:23

Can I ask for your opinions please? I vape to try to cut down on smoking, and have caught my ds vaping he's 13. He had nicotine free liquids
So I've taken the vaping equipment away and told him off

However, he's asking why he can't vape. It's the 'cool' thing to do and as he pointed out he never wants to smoke, doesn't want nicotine flavours and I'm struggling to think of a reason why he can't
My heart says no, but I can't actually come up with a reason. Help!

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 08/05/2015 19:31

Tell him he looks like a twat Grin

Also it'll soon be illegal to sell vape equipment to under 18's, even those with no nicotine.

TBH I wouldn't worry too much, it's a fad. Almost no never-smoking youth end up using ecigs regularly and I think they found about one in the whole world who went from never smoking, to ecigs and then to actual fags.

DollyTwat · 08/05/2015 19:43

Oh I know he looks a twat! He's 13 though and thinks it's cool
He wants me to say he can vape in the house - it would stop him lying about it I suppose but feels wrong. A slippery slope

pinkrocker · 08/05/2015 20:14

Megan I live about 800 miles away from Brighton but thanks for the invite! Smile

sherbetlemonD · 09/05/2015 21:11

Is it though Dolly? If he wants to smoke one day he will do anyway- sorry to say it but it's true. I doubt you asked your parents permission to start smoking.

I agree with Plenty though- it's a fad and a show off in front of his mates. When they get bored- he will.
