Very strong, not even thinking of cigs. Wonder how all the other guys are doing however.

Well done Stefan!!
I used to be worried about even attempting exercise because I was getting so out-of-breath and dizzy. I used to be seriously into weight training and smoking just ruined that. Even standing up was making me dizzy, I don't think I would have lasted to age 35 smoking at the rate I was. It's sickening to think I was voluntarily poisoning myself for years, I'll never touch a cigarette again.
Solo next month I'm gonna try DIY E-Liquids. Here is a forum link and a video to a well-known vaper called ghoti who shares his recipe. Very meticulous and detailed explanations. (You should find this easy-peasy with your food education background)

+1 on that. I'll make 2 weeks as well tonight. All the words Oli posted in his first post are this thread is true. I had a hard day at work, moving some big furniture, lots of stairs, couple of hours of effort etc. and I didn't felt suffocating like I used to. Somehow , I can't stand smoke smell anymore....
I hope other guys are doing fine. It's been quiet lately.
Cheers everybody! -
Kayfun 3.1 just arrived.
Speechless. Works fantastic, adjustable airflow, just perfect. Cracking taste, so sweet. My coil and wick worked first time too
Will post photos later.

Cheers Oli and enjoy your vaping!
I bought that Evod clearomizer to see if it's better. And it is.I'm vaping right now one of my first juice (24 mg Coca-Cola). The TH is stronger, clouds of vapours. I bought a new liquid, 18 mg apple, but I don't like it. It gives me a bitter taste at the end, although when I inhale the vapours I feel apple and smell like apple. I should mention it's a "VG" type of E-Liquid. Any thoughts about this matter? I mean, none of us talked about this, as far as I can say right now, I definitely prefer PG juice. It was another brand as well. I should dig some more about this, as I'm going to buy another Evod and some spare pins.
I'm still waiting for others opinions, as they didn't said nothing after they started vaping. I'm most concerned about Frederik. It was kind of disappointed, mostly because of the E-liquids. It seams it is important as well, what you're vaping, not only the rig you got.
Cheers,
Stefan -
Getting the right juice is important and in the beginning it's a hit and miss. I got Turkish tobacco (tastes like Camel) Island tobacco (tastes like coconut) Razzlemint (tastes like raspberry and mint) and Premium menthol, I hate the menthol as it's like sucking cold air on a frozen morning, I occasionally use the Razzlemint but it's meh!, I have however created an awesome juice by mixing the coconut and Turkish liquids.
Next time I go to Vape store I will take the time to try everything (they have over 300 flavors so I best take the time and some water as it will be a long day)
I did find this online that discusses pg and vg, I use a blend of both.

Basically nicotine is suspended in a PG base normally. PG gives throat hit and flavour, VG creates plumes of vapour.
A 100% VG E-Liquid is very thick, like treacle and is normally watered down with de-ionised water. A combination of VG and PG is usually preferred, see video above.
Good news on your atomizer Stefan.
The Kayfun is great, but not without beginner issues. You have to get the coil and wick perfect. I'm getting a burnt hair taste at the moment which is revolting. Plenty of support from cloud9 though and I'm getting better at making the coil. By tomorrow I will understand it.

Here is an image of my Vape store, all that stuff in the back are sample juices to try.

I am in as well
since a week or so
I used to smoke over 20 blonde cigis a day
Now I just vap . Quite good .
thanks olishea
great finding
my favourite flavours are : black tobacco , red bull and menthol ,
all with 6 mg of nicotine .
I had to buy a second battery to keep vaping all day for it only last over three hours each one . I think the filter will last over month .

I was coiling my wire too tight which resulted in a disgusting burnt hair taste.
Too short and curly adds wafting notes of fish?
-
I think that may be wishful thinking there!
Tried some new E-Liquids today.
Bubblegum...very nice but slightly minty, great if you're a menthol smoker
Blackcurrant...would get annoying after a while, taste is too obvious
Blackberry...as above
Banana...surprisingly nice but not for me
Grape...very nice, subtle natural flavour...a keeper.So I got 12mg red bull flavour and 11mg grape to mix things up a bit.
-
I don't smoke but the way you're on about those flavors I might have to pick up a vape.
-
You're not the first to say that!!
That's why they banned fruity flavoured tobacco in some places....non smokers wanted a piece of the action
-
I know I haven't been posting much in this thread lately...
I have to admit that I have a hard time getting used to the different flavors...
Good thing is that I've cut down the cigs to 5 per day and I'm vaping more each day, so hopefully I'll manage to quit the fags completely very soon...Yesterday I tried the Pinacolada flavor...
Surprise, surprise... I actually like it...
Guess I'll need to experiment more with other flavors... -
Kim, that's a fantastic achievement. Two family friends did the same as you; cut down to around 5 cigs a day and then weened off completely. Whatever works best for you.
Please try visiting a vape shop to sample some flavours. Or if you must buy online look at reviews of the liquid you intend to purchase.
Lots of people are recommending a tobacco flavour called RY4. It's a blend of tobacco essence with hints of caramel and vanilla (apparently!)

VAPE PORN!!
Sorry if slightly out-of-focus, I don't have my macro lens with me. Difficult to get close ups with a long lens.
Took some photos in-hand and next to the EGO for size comparison and scale.
-
Cheers for the encouraging words, Oli...
Your new vaper looks... ... ...
HUGE... The name is somehow funny...
ProVari Mini...
Wonder what it will look like in normal size, not to mention XL size... -
Cool new toy Oli, just when you thought you had everything I give you the pro-clip.
Now you can hang your vape around your neck.
