That's a link to a power chart to use as a starting off point. It helped me a ton when I got my MVP2.0. Hope this will help you too!

Just saw this forum and thought I would sign up. Been vaping since December of 13. I haven't had a cigarette since then. Happy to find this place. Matt

Thank you all very much for all of the advice. I bought her a vv battery last night and it was like night and day for her. She is now able to get the flavor she wants and is also willing to try other flavors than just tobacco flavors. Now she is stealing my tanks with different flavors in them.

Welcome to Vapor Talk!
First, what nicotine level is she using? Second what juice is she vaping? What is the PG/VG ratio?
PG stands for Propelyne Glycol: it carries the flavor and Throat Hit (that scratchy feeling).
VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin: it carries the sweetness and Vapor Production.
She may need a higher nic level and/or a stronger PG/VG ratio. Many juices are a 50/50 mix. She may need something like a 70/30 PG/VG.
Hope this helps!

What Troy said.

Also, the tank that came with the VTR never worked for me. In my experience and personal preference, the wicks just don't absorb the juice fast enough not to give me dry hits and it mutes the flavor more than I like. I would suggest at least looking into getting a Kanger Pro Tank 2 or an Anyvape Davide with a 1.5 or 1.8 ohm coil. The two I named are basically the same tank made by different companies. For me, I prefer the Davide as it seems to give me better performance and flavor.

Vaping is somewhat similar to smoking but not quite. You'll need to learn how to take long, slow inhales. When I smoked, like you, I used to suck hard and fast and be done with a cigarette in no time.

You're no longer a smoker.

Try being more conscious of how you're inhaling. It takes some time to get used to but it's more than worth it.

The amount of vapor you're getting will also be influenced on the PG/VG ratio of your e-liquid. More VG = more vapor. Keep in mind that more VG also means thicker juice so it can have trouble wicking as fast as a thinner juice that you'd get from more PG. I would go with a 50 PG/50 VG or 40 PG/60 VG to start. The 50/50 I use gives me lots of vapor. Also, how much humidity in the air can also determine how much vapor you're getting. More humidity, more vapor.

Good luck, and welcome!

I own and use a VTR daily, it's one of the easiest to use.. But I need

What tank you have it on, and what resistance coil....Then we can set your power levels...

As far as pushing the fire button, I push it a half second before I inhale, and hold it down during the toke.

Try a slow..longer pull...lhard fast pulls don't let the vapor develop..

I think you're looking at this from the wrong angle.
It's widely known that a percentage of school age kids smoke
so there's nothing sensitive about that.The fact that he is now
of legal age and sees vaping as a better alternative is a
positive in my book.
If the reporter just presented those facts without trying to
present vaping in a bad light then this is a vaping success story
IMO.

Unless there's something more that the reporter said that makes vaping
look bad,that you didn't tell us,then this seems like a legit way to tell
the public that no matter when you started smoking there is an alternative
way to get your nic and that it can be better for you.
You just need to be of legal age to get it.

He started the bad habit of smoking before he was 18, much like a lot of us here. Im glad he switched to vaping.

I guess at 18 he basicaly gave consent to them to use his statement. Also, 10 seconds is relative to the distace.... 100yrds... no! lol But longer distances I guess it could happen. He may have been trying, in his own way to promote the benefits of vapeing. Just sucks that he happens to be so young and used analogs at an even younger age for the story.

Okay, one, maybe two weeks ago, I was reading the local paper online, and they had a second story about the newest vape shop, NiMa Vapes, in the area to open up. Not sure why they got the second article. Anyway, so I'm reading it, and I guess they interviewed the ONE customer that was enjoying the "and lounge" atmosphere that day. He was freaking 18! And the idiot actually TOLD them he STARTED smoking in high school. Was a track "star", went to state in one of his race lengths, and then he started smoking, he basically added 10 seconds to him time because his lungs weren't in the right shape anymore. So now he's switched to vaping, and he's breathing much better (or as he put it, he has much better endurance).

Okay, so yeah, he's old enough to smoke NOW, but he told his story to this journalist, and the journalist HAD to know that he was underage when he was talking about smoking in high school, how his performance differed from one year to the next, and I think it was irresponsible that they printed ANYTHING about him smoking as a high school student. They didn't come out and say he was under 18 at the time, and I guess it's not unheard of to not start smoking until your senior year of high school, but I doubt it. And would smoking for less than one year really affect his lungs to the point where he added 10 seconds to his time, or would it take more time than that?

I just....feel like they shouldn't be publishing stories from people who give the impression that they smoked when they were under 18.

Am I the only one?

Welcome to VT

Been vaping for about a year now and I work in a vapor store.

Welcome! I lived in Tarpon Springs for 2 years, used to run the new car department at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater.

Hi, I'm fairly new to vaping also. I read somewhere online that you can get "vape-mouth" by using the same fluid too often and if you switch off to another flavor that will help. Right now I am vaping a mix of peach and banana. This afternoon it may be grape. Hope this helps.

Drink more water and change up flavors more offten is what has helped me

Hey all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is CB and I've been vaping for almost a year now.

Could be crap liquid like the shops here carry too, not the mix or the nic.

He said after 2 months he started getting the burning and bad throat hit. Get a new tank or replace the coils in the existing one. Also, make sure he isnt keeping the battery on for more than about 5 seconds - that can burn the wicking and it will never taste right again. This is more of an issue on the variable batteries. Too much ppower too long.

I change out my coils in my KPT2's about every 7 to 10 days depending on how I hit them.

This is great advice too, missed that. I generally change my coils about every 4-5 tankfuls in my 2.5ml KPT 2s and Davide Minis. I have about 10 tanks in rotation so its hard to say how many "days" as there is duplication but when they even give a hint of a burned taste I just change the coil.

She loves it! She's a hypo alert dog, she sits next to me and sniffs wags her stub and smiles... got a nose that won't quit, her son chases the cloud and wiggles, its funny to watch.
