Everyone learns those lessons at first. Rule of thumb is if it is available at a place that is not specifically a vape shop then it probably is garbage. Never heard of the brands or items you are referring to but I would just do a chargeback on my credit card by calling the card company and telling them you got ripped off and want the charge removed. They should oblige.

There are WAYYY too many good suppliers out there to mess around with ones that are unknowns. The VaporTalk store is great and when they have something I need it is almost always cheaper. Sweet-Vapes.com is also a great supplier and where I go when VT store doesn't have what I want.

Anyway welcome and you will always find helpful people around here!

Actually I kind of suspect if anything allows vaping to continue at all it will be "Big Tobacco" I am pretty sure to avoid past mistakes they investigated vaping pretty thoroughly before getting onboard . They must be pretty confident they can survive the legal and political attacks that are in the near future. I have noticed that health insurance companies have extended their language for tobacco use to include nicotine delivery devices.

By government order, analogues are now RM 13.50 per pack. I just changed my counter to reflect the price increase. I have now saved well over RM 15,000. I of course realise this isn't dollars, and of course I didn't spend that much when I first started vaping, but you've got to admit it looks impressive. Too bad I'm still looking for where it goes. Oh yeah, divide by 3 to get approx US dollars.

If you Google Samsung 18650 they all look cheap and cheasey like that one. Not sure what difference it makes if it worx and was priced what you wanted to pay. After saying all that I will say if buying clones is a concern and their existence bothers folks they should not be value shopping on Ebay and other sites where counterfeiters offload their stuff . Buy from reputable dealers who stand behind and support their merchandise . Just my opinion ,honest people are entitled to make a living just as you are and they have to charge a fair profit margin to make it.

I just had another thought. Quitting smoking is really now fun! I've never let myself even dare to think this. I am so OCD about smoking and I don't ever want to go back to it, but I've never really allowed myself to think of vaping as fun. If, in my warped mind, I actually enjoy it, maybe I'll feel the need to go back to damaging myself. Intellectually, this makes no sense at all, but somehow it seems risky to get too comfortable, as you never know what's sneaking up on you. But after I really enjoyed chatting with people while waiting my turn at the bank, and getting back in the car and happily spying my vaping stuff, and then taking a few enjoyable (not craved) hits I suddenly realized I'm actually having fun and pleasure with this. If quitting had been this easy years ago, or governments had spent to develop an actually functional quitting device, I'd have quit then. To quote the ubiquitous McDonald's, " I'm lovin' it".

I have been vaping over 6 years and I would recommend something simple. After all this time I just use a Vivi Nova , Vision V3 or Boge Ce5 clearomiser @ 3.7 volts on a plain old cheap box mod or an Ego battery. In my opinion finding the right juice is the key. And for that you just have to try a little from everybody until you find what suits you.

Ok, so I'm not naming names, but a few people from this group helped me out immensely. Lets just say its like Christmas around here.

Buuut.... Someone provided me with an aero base for my protank 2, and I have to say, it is the best thing ever! I filled my protank with the usual juice (dopey drops), put the tank together using the aero base, and 2 things are immediately different. 1. it does not leak! no more flooding the battery head! and 2. the flavor is soooo much better now! This may all be in my head, but I am so happy right now!

To those of you that decided to bless me and my hubby, I thank you again. I honestly can't believe how helpful everyone on this forum has been (I don't have very good luck on forums and such, I seem to be a troll magnet).

Thank you for reinstating my faith in humanity, apparently there is hope.

Hugs to everyone!

I do buy all my hardware at the VT store btw.

I'll give Sweet-Vapes a try.

I used to buy the VaporTalk juices, they were always prettty awesome so I'll give that one a try.

Hi. I'm Jon from at the moment, Malaysia and I've got a few insights that's hopefully helpful to those new to this wonderful activity.

Firstly, I was a 2 pack a day smoker for nearly 50 years, and had really given up the idea of ever going a day without a cigarette, cigar or pipe. I really thought I'd hack myself to death, and at the time 61, sooner rather than later.

Then I discovered vaping. I'd discovered it a couple of years before, but the devices at the time didn't work very well. They looked like cigarettes or pens and you had to refill cotton or whatever fabric pieces in the filter looking part which contacted the coil to produce vapour. They weren't consistent, didn't produce quality flavour, and the batteries weren't reliable.

Then I got into the much improved devices with clearomizers, atomizers and tanks, batteries that would last a whole day, and that was a whole new world. I stopped smoking 4 May, 2013 and with a few bumps now know that I'll be vaping for as long as I live. I truly expect that to be quite a bit longer because I feel better than I did when I was 12 and bought my first pack. That's basically my credential for saying this. I know nicotine has addictive qualities, but in my opinion it's not nearly so addictive as the FDA would have you believe, If it were, those nicotine patches and gum along with a dummy cigarette for the hand to mouth habit would be a highly effective way to quit smoking. Basically they don't work for most people. They certainly didn't for me. My joke all those years ago was, "Yeah, I tried those patches, but I couldn't keep them lit."

I really think that the other 4000 or so chemicals produced in cigarette, cigar and pipe smoke are more important than people think. It's really easy to just blame nicotine. I'm convinced from the rush I get those few times I've been caught short and had to smoke analogues, that those chemicals have properties that are also highly addictive, probably more so than nicotine. They probably mimic narcotic analgesics to make you feel good about what you are doing even though you know intellectually it's killing you slowly. Other chemicals probably act as bronchodilators to ease breathing and calm wheezing. Still others probably are like steroids to reduce inflammation to keep you from noticing the damage being caused by the tar particles. Maybe that's why your lungs feel so bad after a night's sleep and deprivation from these chemicals, so that you're inclined to immediately want to feel better so you light a cigarette and almost immediately after hacking up a lung, feel so much better.

To conclude, the nicotine in vapour is a great help in overcoming the cigarette addiction, but so is the vapour cloud, and the hand to mouth activity. I strongly recommend you to buy a reasonable device and not one of those convenience store disposables before you decide if vaping will help you. I'm not very familiar with the names, and many here can direct you to some good starter products. My real point is to keep vigilant of those cravings that come from sources other than nicotine, and be prepared. If I had known this before I started I would have had an easier time making the decision to change smoke for vapour. Instead I actually listened to the idiot, easily swayed, easily lobbied FDA that nicotine was the major bad guy. I write this because I so want everyone who tries this to succeed. Plus, as many here say, it makes an awesome hobby. Best of luck to all you newbies. It really works. My real difficulty was deciding to switch, because I was afraid that life without cigarettes wasn't worth living. Then the discovery that quitting was almost totally painless.

It's been 504 days, and I'm loving life even without cigarettes!

Try the VaporTalk store no crooks right there.

There once was a Sergeant Marine
Who invented a vaping machine
Concave or convex
To suit either sex
With a drip tip attached for the steam.

Some times a person just needs to spend some time with what they gots and explore all the potential. Seems to be a lot of folks going from one device to another around here. I have been at this a long time and have found you can get a very good vape from most all the devices out there with the right liquid and technique.

I have left the analogs alone now for about 2 weeks and I will never go back....finally free. The Vape thing is truly working for me.

Stealth vape: smaller battery with tank set up with 70/30 or higher pg/vg juice to reduce fog but still deliver the nic.

welcome.You have to make a few posts in the areas you have access to ,I think it is five and then they cut you loose if you don't do anything against the rules. The V button I would assume would increase the voltage and the P button increases the watts. Either one will heat things up and make more vapor . I don't mess with APV's so other than that I can't tell you much.

Sorry you had to go through that.Three times is gonna blow.There are a lot of reputable vendors out there so don't hold the whole industry in blame.

I wait until the quality and quantity of vapor decreases.No sense waisting monies you can use for more tasty liquid.
