Life Anyone here doing the E-Cig / Vape thing? - Page 49

**pr_capone** · 11-17-2013, 03:05 AM

Thanks to my vape, I've had only one single cigarette in the past 3 weeks. I have zero cravings for them and I feel considerably better. In fact, I still have about 5 smokes left in a pack and just can't see myself smoking those... don't want to.

Even better... 5ml of juice, which costs $5, lasts me about 2 weeks meaning that I am spending less in the long run. I only smoked, at most, a pack a week... but still.

I tried the Blu E-Cigs but they were terrible. Trying to "smoke" out of one of those was like trying to take a hit off a joint that was rolled WAY to tight.

I'm using an eGo-V v2 mega battery with variable voltage control with a gravity tank.

You can get really goofy with it...

listopencil · 02-02-2015, 05:24 PM

Or kind of nerdy...

Or old school pretend-a-pipe...

Since my goal is to kick nicotine altogether, I don't know that I will go all in like that. I will say this thing is working to curb my cravings, and I don't have to go outside for a smoke break in this cold.

I did this exact thing. I got a decent set up that worked well and slowly stepped down my nicotine level until i hit zero. After a little while at zero i just decided to keep going was a waist of of time and money. I started using it on December 31st, 2013 and the last time I used it was the day before easter of 2014. I still enjoy checking out the!mods in this so i check in from time to time. Good luck with the quit.

It is far and away the best help I've tried. I haven't fully quit cigs yet, but I've only had a few in the evenings. Through my work day, I don't even really crave one. Its nice not having to go outside every couple of hours.

Quad coils of 28 gauge wrapped 8 times each. Puts me at .36 ohms. Running this bitch at 100 watts, and it's delicious!

I've never attempted quad coils and don't think I will. I'm nearly out of juice and I did a large reorder and stepped down to 3mg from 6. Hope to quit for good soon.

That's awesome! Best of luck.

I've been trying to find the right build since with a regulated mod you want to go with more surface area to burn more juice and get more flavor. You also want to use a smaller gauge wire so it heats up quickly. The only problem was more surface area and thinner wire equals astronomical resistance. Running quads halves my coils twice over, putting 16 wraps on both sides with a .36 resistance. This enables me to run higher wattage, speeds up the heating time, and provides the surface area I wanted. Win, win, win!

I don't remember if this site was posted in here. It's RTS Vapes:

http://www.rtsvapes.com/default.asp

If you want to mix up your own liquid they have everything. PG, VG, liquid nicotine of various strengths and concentrated flavor liquids. If you do this be very, very careful with the liquid nicotine. Don't let it come in contact with you as you mix your juice because you will absorb it and overdose through your skin. They sell PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as well:

And provide a link to a forum where best mixing practices are discussed:

I was going to try and use the e-cig and or a vaporizer to cut back on and eventually quit smoking cigs. I started smoking 40 mofo years ago at the ripe old age of 12. I thought at first I'd finally found something that would help me quit. But after slowly changing over to a vaporizer, about two weeks time, I started getting a smokers cough. Every morning, for an hour or so I would get this cough, nothing real hard, kind of a background mild cough.
Two days after I switched back to ciggs the cough went away. It made me a little leery so I only use it now in no smoking areas that allow vaping.
