Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

Ok so I did some "research". The liquid I bought is a 50/50. The smokes I were smoking were a "Light". The "burn" I am getting is about the same as when I would smoke a cig down to the butt. So if I go with a 40/60 that would make it smoother, or should I just wait and see if I get used to the 50/50?
Could also be the atomiser that is giving the burnt taste. EGOs do deteriorate quite quickly and occasionally I've had one that tastes terrible straight away.
Try a new atomiser head and a new brand liquid. 50/50 mix is generally very smooth. It's only when you start going to 80/20 PG/VG that you get a big throat hit. Remember its the PG that gives throat hit and VG gives large smooth plumes.
If you still don't have any success try an EVOD at least, it's a very popular atomiser and consistently smooth. The EGO is OK but strictly a beginner device which is actually quite infuriating at times as it's so inconsistent. I used one for a month or so before I upgraded.
Please don't be put off by this experience....sounds like you either have a dud device or liquid.

That was my first opinion.

Thanks for corroborating that Pete.
Might be an idea to just change the atomiser head first to eliminate what is causing the issue.
I doubt very much that a 50/50 liquid is too harsh. In fact, I find 50/50 almost too smooth so I have gone back up to 60/40 for a bit more throat hit.
Again, don't be put off I think you've just been a bit unlucky.

thought I'd better bump this topic before it moves to the next page
.....there are probably many smokers here in SketchUcation who haven't seen this topic and will miss out on the chance to experience being converted to wonderful world of Vaping...!

Spoken like a true missionary!
Although vaping did not work for me (I gummed
) ... it has been a full year since I quit cigs!
I do not miss the butts, ash, or the stink. I have a neighbor two doors down that smokes. When I walk pass his house it reeks of smoke from 75-80 feet out on the street! I used to be generating that kind of stink from our back porch. NO more!
-
Nice work Dan!
Yeah smoking absolutely stinks. Not just around your house but clothes, furniture, skin, hair, car etc....
Nearly a year smoke-free for me now.
I'm still on 12mg nicotine, will probably reduce when I get back from holiday.
Speaking of which.....does anyone know what the rules are regarding E-Cigs and travelling by air? Am I even allowed to take my E-Liquid into Switzerland?
I've got a feeling that several unmarked bottles in my main luggage might look suspicious, so should I juist buy some labelled pre-mixed liquids?
Last thing I want is to arrive in Switzerland with confiscated E-Liquid and E-Cigs!!! I am definitely not carrying anything in my hand luggage though, that's obvious.
-
Well done Dan.
I must admit I had no idea how bad my house, my car and me must have smelled while I was smoking.....and I don't miss the burn holes in my shirts and car seat I used to get occasionally when I smoked in the car..!
Hey Oli, try vaping on your flight and let us know what happened....!

9 months cigarette free!!

I think that means 11 months for me! It was the very start of March I quit.
Strange how the banner thing says 1 year, -1 month lol I guess that means 11 months haha
GREAT work everyone! I bet you all feel much much better.
-
Feeling great indeed...
....have even take up a bit of casual cycling (I've done it more than once, so I guess that reinforces my commitment to 'recycling'...!)
-
Well I still smoke about 3 cigarettes a day (weekdays). Mainly because, I can't hold the weight of even my small unit in my mouth and work at the same time
. We get into production runs and I can't stop to take a break, or my crew stops also! I tell them that "If you want lunch you better be able to have a hammer in one hand and a sandwich in the other" so I have to live to the same standards 
But I have finally got my juice and unit(s) all working where I like. 40/60 24 mg at 4.0 -
Vape Porn!! I bought a cheap upgrade for my mother to congratulate her for being smoke-free for 12 months.
I really like the Protank2. It's by no means comparable to a Kayfun in terms of flavour but it really is a great clearomiser. The Pyrex glass gives it a great quality finish. I also bought a Protank 2 for myself as a backup to the old faithful Kayfun.
The SID is perfect for the price. Can't go wrong there! First device I've ever had with an OLED screen too!
Here is the Smoktech SID with a Kanger Protank 2 on top. Sorry about poor photo quality, I just used a mobile.
Happy Vaping guys!
And here is the Protank 2 on top of the Provari Mini. It actually suits the Provari very well. I also placed the Kayfun on the SID just to show what it looks like.
And finally my usual setup....Kayfun on either the Provari Mini or MVP V2. See how battered my Provari and Kayfun look after 12 months! :laugh:
I have screwed the Protank 2 on the MVP in this photo just to show how it fits (very well).

I still haven't learned to like the smoke from these wapers...
I saw this animation the other day and will start practicing that instead...
-
@Frederik, that is quite a skill
, reminds me to re-watch Seinfeld, still a good no brain series @Olishea,
Besides the beveled top, a provari looks sweet and I like it's small form factor. The Kayfun seems to like it too, nice pictures. I like my Kayfun clones a lot , they are hassle free and consistent as opposed to clearos like errrr...protanks 1,2 or 3 , the heads seem to be hit and miss.I just bought a Touchwood handcrafted mechanical box mod . 18490 battery sîze.
Loving the feel of it and it vapes really well with that detonator style button.
Rocking it with the simple (and cheap) Igo-L dripping atomizer. Yummy

Finally got me a rebuildable mod from TKO a chain of vape stores across US. It has a 2.2 amp atomizer and I'm trying to find a good voltage and amp setting as you can change both with this mod. Not really sure yet what does what as far as the settings go maybe someone can shed some light on the subject for me.
-
Walt, good job with the mod, it's a good choice. However, be careful with the firing button, it's the weakest part. I'm not saying it will fault, but it's the most common fail of this mod.
Regarding the way you can set this, I would recommend watts. Because, once you find "the sweet spot" for you, you don't need to adjust nothing any more, not even when you put another atomizer on the mod. It will give you the same vaping experience, with every hit you take. Start with 6 watts, then go up to 7,8 and so on, until you are satisfied.
Cheers,
