First Vaping October 1

[CoffinLess]

My mind is about to explode! So much reading but almost prepared. Thank-you all for your help and mega patience with all us noobies. My supplier sent note that batteries are charged - so.......... can I use them tomorrow or should I charge them first? Have eGO and 510 (hoping to entice BH) Actually I tried the eGO with a drip and it set me on my fanny!!! Ordered 18 strength cause I smoke a least a pack a day - guess I wasn't inhaling as much as I thought!!

The batteries usually come 80% charged. You can start vaping right away.

I think I posted to you in the other thread you have. The strength really does vary from the perspective of what we call throat hit (TH). Many of the light smokers I helped couldn't take 18, they needed 11 or even 6, I was a menthol light and started with 24. That's not to say your addiction might require a higher level but I don't think I've really seen someone who complained about withdrawal symptoms but had just the right TH. In the other post I suggested you might want to stop with the pre-filled carts and try some bottles of juice with the carts (you can reuse them) or cartomizers or direct dripping. There are countless places to get juice including the store here, finding a nice juice is sometimes a struggle. Many tobacco folks are happy with some tobacco flavors (like traditional tobacco here at the VT store), and some go off the reservation and do an all day vape with something totally different (like grape soda or cappuccino right here at the VT store).

What kind of cigarettes did/do you smoke?

I also suggested this not be an all or nothing thing, if you can't take the 18, get some juices and smoke in the meantime if need be. Having analogues is not a "failure", if something's not working we'll figure it out and push on. Nice thing about all of this is for most folks, once you have it working its effortless. You see us all talking about all our little toys but I don't think any one of us would go back to smoking even if we didn't have all the cute little playthings we get involved with, low resistance cartos, drips tips, variable voltage units, etc. They just make it even easier.
