My doctor put me on Zyban when I was younger trying to help me get off the analogs. I called them my "I don't give a $hit" pills because when I was on them, nothing fazed me. Then, it backfired and I got to where I didn't care if I quit smoking or not...

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

That's great that you're getting such positive responses from people you encounter. Just recently a co-worker asked me about vaping and e-cigs. She's now 20+ days off cigarettes and has gotten her husband to join her in vaping. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Keep it up!

First, why are you vaping without any nicotine? Most people who start vaping are doing it to get off cigarettes/analogs, but start with nicotine and then step it down. To me, it seems almost like trying to go cold turkey off cigs by starting with no nic. Nicotine isn't the terrible thing the media and governments are trying to make it out to be, it's the 4000+ other carcinogens in cigarettes and burning tobacco that are more harmful, imo. Yes, more PG will/should give you more throat hit, but so will a higher nic level. It's the VG that gives you the vapor (not smoke). If it were me, I would go with at the minimum of 60 PG/40 VG or 70 PG/30 VG. The first will give you more vapor. If you smoked 20 cigarettes a day, I would go with a 12 mg (minimum) or 18 mg of nic. That will increase your throat hit by quite a bit. Look into getting an Eleaf iStick 30W or 50W for variable voltage/variable wattage battery. The 50W is going to be bigger and a bit heavier than the 30W. You might try with the 30W first? Or, if you want to stick with a pen style battery, you can't go wrong with the original Vision Spinner 1300 mAh (the Vision Spinner II at 1600 mAh is known to have some charging issues).

The reason why I recommended the pen style batteries is because they are cheaper and the new vaper can buy two. If his vape budget were bigger, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend an Eleaf iStick 30W or 50W but having no back up when one is charging or should one get lost or break... is not acceptable, especially to someone who is trying to get off and stay off analogs. Back ups. Have them. Then, get back ups of your back ups. You can never have too many.

If you're starting with $100 - $150, you need to keep in mind that you're wanting/needing to get a minimum of two batteries to start. At least two tanks and two 5-packs of replacement coils. If you're going to go with something with a removable battery, you'll need to get several of those as well as a separate charger. That doesn't include the e-liquid. If you're going with something like an eGo or Vision Spinner pen style battery, you'll need at least one (preferably two) chargers and a wall wort/AC adapter. In the beginning, you're not going to know what you like so it's going to be trial and error. Small sample packs would be what I'd recommend in a 24 mg nicotine, 50 PG/50 VG blend. An RTA stands for Rebuildable Tank Atomizer. Most often, these are the ones where you build the coil yourself. This requires a working knowledge of Ohm's Law to keep yourself safe, an Ohm meter, tweezers, torch (recommended), wire, wick, and a basic knowledge of batteries, safety and vaping in general. I would not recommend a new vaper start with an RTA. What I would recommend for anyone starting, is a basic pen style battery like a Vision Spinner, a charger, AC adapter, two or three Kanger Pro Tank (KPT) or Pro Tank mini (Anyvape Davide or Davide mini are very similar to the KPT but perform better in my opinion), two 5-packs of 1.8 ohm single KPT coils (all tanks named use the same coil), and some sample packs of different flavors of juice. That would come in around $150 or a little under. For me, I prefer the KISS method when starting something new. You can always upgrade later when you have more knowledge and know what you're looking for and like.

That is a huge accomplishment if you're coming down from 3 packs a day. Go you!

I like that the cotton is "certificated," think how much better it could be if it were actually "certified."

Just wait to see what you feel like when you can let go of the analogs altogether. You're going to feel sooooo good! Congrats on cutting down this much, though. You're doing good!

Yep. More info please! You're in good hands with Bebop and Earthling. They won't steer you wrong and you'll have your money spent well. Oh, and it's vapor, not "smoke". There's a huge difference health-wise between the two.

Congratulations, Bebop! Wow, it's already two years... how time flies when you're having fun. You've been one of those who have made the lives and vaping experience of other new vapers easier and more fun. Here's to another year and another and... *raises glass*

The great thing about the Davides is that they use the same single coils as the Kanger Pro Tanks. Very much a grab and go. I prefer the KISS method myself.

If you're into giving things a try, you might try an Anyvape Davide or Davide mini. They are similar to a Kanger Pro Tank or Pro Tank mini but just work so much better.

Looks like we lost the OP.

What resistance is the coil you're using? I'm not familiar with the Imren battery, what's the amps on it?

Lol!

Put the bottle to the side in a dark, cool place and let it age/steep for a week then try it again. You might be pleasantly surprised... or not.
