'Bout /÷€# Time!!!

You SHOULD be proud of yourself. My experience with e-cigs was pretty much the same as yours (hospital not included), but fortunate to find a very helpful vape store to patiently walk me through everything. Walked out with basic vape gear almost 3 years ago, put the smokes down and haven't had even one since that day. Be proud of your accomplishment and stay the course. You won't regret it.

Don't own one, but from just looking at the picture your decoration thought seems doable as long as the material you want to use is not porous. For versatility, why not consider a very thin metal inner core machined to the proper inner dimension and a variety of outer pieces you could slide over the inner cylinder whenever the mood strikes.

Following is MY opinion and MY opinion ONLY. For someone just starting out vaping, the setup you're interested in seems to have quite a learning curve. Tons of very good information can be had from the guys n gals on this forum, but a response to a question may take longer than you need. When I, and quite possibly the majority of everyone else, started down the vape path I/we started with beginners equipment to learn what this vape scene was all about and figure out what kind of equipment I thought I wanted to end up with. My "wants" changed a few times along the way to what I settled in with and still use to this day. MY advice would be to find a local vape shop and spend some hands-on time with someone you can have a face-to-face with and get all your questions answered at one time before spending money on high end equipment you will still most likely have to figure out along the way to your personal sweet spot. Since you're just now quitting smoking and looking to vapeing to satisfy your nic cravings, the learning period for the SVD could prove very frustrating and expensive. Start simple, inexpensive, learn, then decide. "My opinion. I could be wrong."

Welcome to the wonderful world of vap'n. You started the same age I did ...... almost 3 years ago. Sounds like you hit the ground runnin. I see yur wife's on board with vap'n, too. Feels great to be off smokes, doesn’t it.

Haven't had the pleasure, but some here swear by his stuff.....and he's a valued member here, so why not give Comp a shot at satisfying your taste buds. Another to try is Johnson Creek. A little higher than some, but what I've had of theirs was pretty doggone good. Still not satisfied, then try your hand at mixing your own.

Bak, whatever works for you is what you should use. You'll find there is a small learning curve when you first start vaping. Take the time to figure out what vaping is all about, get used to and comfortable with your equipment so you can stay off smokes and you should be fine. Don't get too wound up about someone's "opinion" of your setup. Instead, enjoy what you spent your money on. Once you're settled in and comfortable with vaping, then you'll probably want to explore other equipment setups. If/when you want good advice, you can't go wrong right here. Be picky about the shop you frequent, too. Too many shops want you to just buy something and leave. Make sure you know everything there is to know about what you're buying before you leave. You've probably already figured out the combinations, equipment and lingo can be mind-boggling to a beginner. You'll be just fine. Talk about overkill, I sometimes cruise around with an eleaf 20 topped off with a full size Nautilus. My attitude..... Works for me. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

Lots of us subscribe to the K.I.S.S. program. For me it's more about getting/staying away from cigarettes than giving away money for the latest n greatest cloud box.

VT seems to have evolved into an advertising spot more than discussion. For that reason I don't check as often as before.....usually on the "thinking chair" if I'm bored, to see if there's anything new worth reading.

BB vs HTML......can't help ya there. As to dropping smokes, all I can tell ya is what worked for me. After finally convincing myself I needed to stop smelling up the place and annoying everyone around me I went to a vape shop, bought a double entry-level starter kit and put the last 1/2 pack of smokes in my glove box, told myself this WILL work and on 19 Apr, 13 after 50 yrs of seeing my money go up in smoke I had my last cigarette. Actually a tiny bit more involved than that, but the results are the same. So, my "tip" to anyone wanting to quit smoking would be to first convince yourself you really want to quit, find a vape shop with topshelf customer service, try every setup they will let you try, decide on a couple flavors you want to start with, buy the setup you can afford knowing that in the future you'll probably want to upgrade, so don't go overboard at the beginning till you know for sure what you're doing. There will be a small period of familiarization for the particular setup you pick. It's not rocket surgery, but it's not totally automatic for everyone, either. Bottom line.... be committed, depend on your equipment to get you thru the rough spots, and BACKUPS. Have at least two batteries and a couple tanks filled and ready to go. Don't let some vape shop sell you stuff you don't know anything about. Buy what you're comfortable with and don't walk out till you're pretty sure you know everything there is to know about what you're spending your money on. So much for a simple tip. I'm sure there'll be more from others. This is a fine bunch here willing to help. Many here know much more than i, so, any more questions, just ask.

Dilute the 72 nic down to something more reasonable in a separate bottle/container/whatever before adding any vg or flavor. How's that resulting in a higher pg ratio?

What's wrong with getting some plain pg and diluting the nic pg down to a lower level before starting to mix in the vg and flavors? Makes sense to me ..... unless I'm missing something.

Earth..., think she might be interested in a couple of these for the scrubs? They're designed for the original EGO style batts, and 14-15ish mm tanks up to the T3 diameter tanks. Stainless steel and hold pretty doggone good. PM me if interested.

The day did turn out ok afterall.......Gators showed the Bulldogs how it's done and the Seminoles beat the snot outta Syracuse. Now the Bucks need to do their part tomorrow and everything will be fine.

Yep..... and he's not to happy about it, either.

Could be worse. What my son did to his dog......

I buy 36 nic in PG, mix it down to a 40P/60V , add my flavors (in a pg base). I figure I end up with a 16ish bottle of juice.

To begin with, to clarify something, you don't "smoke" these. You "vape". Second, you will probably need to provide much more information as to your equipment in order to get proper vaping assistance. Again, not intending to demean your post, just correcting improper terminology. I'm sure you will get the answers you need as the day progresses. Welcome to VaporTalk. You can learn much by reading past posts and asking questions of the friendly and much more knowledgeable guys n gals in here than myself.

I will second the Wizard Lab recommendation. They're top shelf folks to work with. I've been to the shop and talked to them when I started mixing for myself. They have everything you will need, but don't have a "kit" put together. I'm sure they would be happy to advise once they know how deep you want to get into diy'ing. Have no association with WL, just live close enough to drop by should the need arise ..... again.

Well, well, gee whiz, golly, wow guys n gals, seems e cigs actually are a cessation device ...... imagine that!! I've been thinking about quitting everything myself lately. Just have to wean myself down to a low nic level first, tho. 50+ years of burning nasties before finding vaping a couple years ago makes me wonder just how difficult it might be to one day be totally nondependant. Guess there's only one way to find out.

You win. Have no idea who the red raiders are, but I likes it.

Bumping an old thread. Topic parallels ..... kinda. Not sure if I'm totally onboard with the idea, but I can't come up with any good reasons to be against it. Something to think about. Could be interesting. http://www.electroniccigaretteconsumerreviews.com/the-politics-of-vaping-should-be-a-2016-issue/

He might be overstating a bit, but nicotine is still there. http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/junk/nicotine.html

Although I'm not a dripper I think it's pretty neat. Doesn't "have" to be attached to the windshield, or anywhere else, for that matter. I can see the simple benefit of just not having to fiddle with an eyedropper or anything else and count drops. Simply plug a time or two and put it back where it came from. 'Course, I refill my EVOD'S while driving, so I don't have much room to talk. Still, I like the idea.
