Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

I bought an e-cig as well, a very cheap one, on a whim. I'm rather surprised as to how effective 'vaping' is. And no tar!
I am curious to know if you quit smoking by this time?
-
Aw yes, vape porn!!
It's been a while since I've had my photo fix!
Great to see you still vaping like a champ Chris! That pocket egrip looks cool, reminds me of a hip flask....I also really like the billetbox.
-
. The internet is for vape porn.
I love the Egrip, it is the only really pocketable vape in my experience.
And it can take a beating as it is a very solid weighty little wonder.
It takes stock Egrip coils. I only use it's lowest wattage setting and that makes a coil last for weeks. It is a surprisingly smooth and flavorful vape. Joyetech is about to release a little rebuildable base for it that I will be getting.Oh yes, the Billet box seems a great product but a bit too costly imo.

Nice eye candy guys, I'm still using my original Provari, only now I moved from Vivi Nova tanks to Nautilus.
Still vaping strong, down from 22mg nicotine to 6mg.
-
Great work Pete! I've not managed to get down to 6mg yet, still on 12mg.
My provari has been put into storage as a spare. It didn't break, never failed....very good device. Provape have just released the new Provari but I'm stuck with the Svoemesto Semovar for now. The Semovar is great, I just can't fault it, I'll use it until it fails.
I dropped my vape from some scaffold on my house and it survived the impact, I couldn't believe it! They build these things so damn strong!
-
C'mon Oli, choke the vapor!
I'm on 6mg just like Pete. I think you need to make some lower resistance coils, around 1.5, 'cause if I remember, you prefer something like 2.2-2.4 ohm, right? You'll loose some flavor I think, but the TH will mask the fact that you just dropped the nicotine.
I'm still using my trusty mechanical mod, with Kayfun lite, I don't even touch anything else. Tabaco flavor all the way. -
Stefan,
I must have been mistaken at the time, I roll coils around 1.6 ohms.I went through a stage of adding one extra coil by mistake which was giving a resistance of around 2.4. Now all my coils are at around 1.6. I should reduce nicotine strength yes, I suppose I just got used to mixing up 12mg batches.
-
I'm down to 9mg most of the time (I still have a few 18mg 'leftovers' from a few months ago and I occasionally vape those but it's more for the flavour than the nicotine)
in fact, I'm wondering how I would cope if I vaped nic free.....hmmmmm might need to give it a try and see how I feel after a few days...!!
SO....its been a little over a year since I bought my Provari, and March 10th since I gave up on the stinkies (except for 1 stinkie in the middle of the year which I don't count...!!)
this is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, so it is probably timely to thank Oli and everyone else in here once again
my lovely lady pointed out to me that I no longer snore like a freight train...now that's what I call an added bonus..!!

E-juices: all day vapes: GoodLife "Nana's Nuts" and GoodLife "Melon Boba".
Those Good Life flavours are brilliant....thank you for putting me on to them
My favourites from them are '925', 'El Kamino' and 'Deadly Sin'

I broke my Semovar mod last week. I finally had enough!
It kept throwing out error codes, screen stopped working, would only use half a battery before saying battery was low...etc etc....so I unscrewed everything for a deep clean and one of the connections popped into the circuit board tube and I couldn't get it back out. I tried retrieving the connection with a screwdriver which eventually turned into a frustration-relieving stabbing technique! I then finished it off with a hammer.
Totally smashed the whole thing to bits. So now I'm back on my original Provari and it feels great! Great build quality; makes me wonder why I even changed in the first place. So reliable.
I have started making lower resistance coils so I can get away with using smaller battery mods; the 18350 battery is just fine. Happy Vaping everyone!

Like I said many times, no need to get into all those fancy mods, my trusted Provari will never die, still working as good as the day I bought it
-
Over the past few months a 'rattle' in my Provari has slowly worsened and sometimes it would only fire up if I held the unit at certain angles.
A few days ago it stopped working after I dropped it.
I have four 18650 batteries, two different manufacturers.
- I recharged them all...Provari didn't work
- I cleaned all the contact points....it still didn't work
I was beginning to think I had caused some serious damage after dropping it.
Then I noticed that the two different battery types were very slightly different heights.
What had happened is that the slightly larger battery had compressed the spring contact on the bottom extension cap.....this was the cause of the 'rattle' when the shorter of the batteries was used.
When I dropped the unit, it landed on it's base and the force of the impact had compressed the spring just that little bit more and therefore contact couldn't being made at each end of the battery regardless of which battery type I used.
It took me a whole day to realise what the problem was.....and was easily resolved when I pulled the spring up a tiny fraction.
It's working perfectly now, and as good as the day I first used it....!!
-
Good stuff! Yeah the "nipple" at the top of some batteries varies. I had the same issue with my Semovar which has a fixed but adjustable base cap....no spring. I would have to adjust the base cap based on the battery I was using which was soooooooo annoying.
Glad you fixed it. I'm back on the Provari and loving it. The semovar used to drink batteries; I have no idea why but I'm getting great battery life from the Provari even with the tiny batteries. I don't know why I even changed to be honest.

This test is not recent news. They overheated the e-liquid.

"At low voltage (3.3 V), we did not detect the formation of any formaldehyde-releasing agents (estimated limit of detection, approximately 0.1 μg per 10 puffs). At high voltage (5.0 V), a mean (±SE) of 380±90 μg per sample (10 puffs) of formaldehyde was detected as formaldehyde-releasing agents"
-
My point is; who vapes at high voltages?
The e-liquid would taste burnt. Burnt=Bad. It's like burning a piece of toast......it makes it carcinogenic.
The very word "vaping" implies no burning.
-
Kayfun 4 just been released. Not keen on the shape if I'm honest but it has many new features.
