Im quitting smoking cigarettes and switching to vaping. You /b/ros got any tips? I smoke about a pack a day (15 on a good day) so what nicotine level should i begin with? How long should i use that nic level before i lower it? I want to avoid being addicted to either one.
>>
start with 24, rip for like a month max until you drop and do not go back up under any circumstances dropdown one level. 24-18-12-6-3-0

1. Dont Buy the cheap shit, you want something thats going to help you not give you more cancer.
2. Kanger or SMOK are reputable brands that sell in all price ranges.
3. Try to go to a vapeshop for juice, trying that shit is better than buying something at random.
4. start on a 6, one pack a day isnt that much. You can use that for as long as you want then go to a 3. the 3 shouldnt be hard to switch to after youre used to vapor instead of smoke.
5. Dont give it up just cuz "Its not a ciggarette though" dont be a bitch, just fucking use it.
>>
Depends what you're going for. A small vape pen (or e-cig) won't produce much vapor and usually has a tank, doesn't allow for much smoke and flavor, but you can start at around 24nic. If you grab a mod (the boxes or big ecigs that you see people produce a ton of vapor with) then you probably want to go with a lower nic, I wouldn't recommend above 12nic.

cool thanks guys. ill be going to my local vapor shop tomorrow ill be sure to ask about kanger or smok. If they let me try different juices before i buy ill try different nic levels to see which is more comfortable.

Hardest part i found is breaking the routine, I used to go outside for a smoke and when i started vaping inside i still had the urge to go out and have a smoke. Best way i found was to go outside and vape as if it was a smoke and slowly ween off the routine. Managed to get off cigs for over a year now. bol

Start with a tobacco flavor about 12 mg and at least 50% PG for the throat hit.
>>
>>684723529
nice. im sure you feel a lot better and healthier since you havent smoked for a year but i have a follow up question, are you addicted? as in if you had to quit vaping how hard would it be to kick? like is it easier to quit vaping cold turkey compared to quit smoking cigs cold turkey?

Also dont let anyone tell you house is better than premium or vice versa. The premuim came from a plant where they make large ass amounts and its all pretty sterile. House juice is made in house where they buy all their juice from a plant thats the same as the premium. It really doesnt matter which kind you get. The biggest difference is going to be consistency of flavor and nicotine levels. The premium is always the same where as the house juice may be different.

im trying to quit smoking too, i have a sub ohmtank but i regret getting it cause it blows thru juice like crazy and its cheaper just to buy a pack

>>684723976
tbh it would just as hard to quit vaping as it would be to quit smoking. I stopped vaping at work to try and cut down but I think it would take me a lot of willpower to fully stop.

Propylene glycol. Its a component of the e juice. It produces the throat hit. The other component vegtable glycerine. The more PG the more throat hit. More VG more vapor.

Vaping is literally for faggots. Be a real man and smoke a pipe. You don't inhale, and you get to enjoy the flavor and the nicotine. It's a win-win situation.

>>684723984
why does this exist
>>
>>684727836
That is an RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer). It has no tank, but it has a coil with the cotton usually on or through it. You just drip the juice directly from the bottle onto it and the cotton soaks it up. Then you cap it and when you fire the vape up, the coil heats up and produces vapor. There are other kinds that also have coils and cotton but inside a tank that you refill instead of dripping into. If you want more details, lemme know

Nicotine depends on what setup you have. Remember that the mg/ml is a concentration rating, and low concentrations on high amounts means the same as high concentrations on low amounts. I started with 3mg/ml, but I jumped straight to high powered devices with RDAs.

If you're going to do "subohming" which generally refers to low resistance high wattage vaping, you might want to start with 6.

If don't let it run dry the cotton shouldn't burn. However, it is very easy to replace the cotton when you want to change flavors or if you were not careful and burnt it a bit by letting it run dry.

The coils do deteriorate from the constant heating and cooling, so after a few weeks you have to change them.
>>
>>684729184
As long as you top it off every few hits it can last a while. But yeah once the cotton gets gunked up you replace the cotton and clean the coil. Or just put a whole new coil in. I like to play around with building coils so I change the pretty often.
>>
>>684728223
It's hard not to. Literally the guy vaping has a baby's hand.

Then get an E-cig or vape pen that doesn't make a bullshit cloud, and don't smoke around other people. It's obnoxious.
>>
>>684729807
so you manually drip juice onto the cotton after each few hits?
>>
>>684729565
Don't listen to his advice of buying a Vuse. But listen to his advice of not being a faggot. You can have a nice satisfying vape without being a dick and blowing it in people's faces. Seriously, if you're going to be a vapebro just kill yourself with cigarettes.

Yeah. That makes it easy to change flavors if you want. It's really not as annoying as it sounds. They make easy drip bottles with caps or bottles with droppers. Only thing is it is not fun to use while driving. So I keep a tank for driving since you don't have to refill as often and I keep a dripper for walking around.

i am interested in switching to vapor solely for my own health, not to look cool or show off. i am 22 years old type 1 diabetic been smoking for four years and today i woke up and decided it was time to stop. my gf is quitting with me but she only smokes a cig per week when she drinks so it will be easier for her, ive tried cold turkey but i always give in and buy a pack after one day.
>>
The only way to know what's in something is to make it yourself. A good base is extremely easy. Put glycerin USP (HAS TO BE USP) in an eyedropper with juice from a peach or apple. Then, add nicotine according to the bottle. It really is this simple.

As an outsider looking in, I feel as though vaping has gone from a legitimate way to try and ween yourself off of cigarettes (barring the apparent failure of the "patch"), to a complete and total substitute for cigarette smoking (the thing that it was normally meant to stop). Why? I am genuinely curious. It's not as if it makes you look cooler or anything, because it seriously doesn't. Sure, some may say that vaping is better for you, or rather, less toxic and obtrusive, but this ends up being negated because people end up vaping WAY more than just smoking normally (probably due to the fact that vaping is less bothersome to people, and way more accepted as socially okay in certain spaces).

I am truly curious, in the hopes that one of you could remedy this situation for me and allow me to understand it better. No matter what though, you're all still weak faggots for smoking in the first place. Get a hold over yourselves.

>>684730866
I started vaping because I had friends who did it. Then I stopped and went back to smoking, but now I do it because my gf doesn't smoke and I don't want her to smell it on me or taste it when we kiss. I also wanted to get into better health and shape. Now it has become a hobby for me. I like building the coils and discovering which builds yield which results. Which ones make more vapor and which have better flavor. It's kind of cathartic. I mean, I feel I could stop vaping tomorrow and not smoke anything else, with minor cravings.

If I had to choose, vaping. This is obviously barring any actual scientific proof that vaping is better for you, or that it could actually be worse. I'm not sure of either, but just from a pure visual stand point, vaping.

That is if I had to pick one of the two choices. The third, and CLEAR choice is to just quit. Ween off, turkey, whatever you have to do, quit smoking. There is absolutely zero benefits to smoking, and a myriad of negatives to smoking, many of which are drastic.

I've never picked up smoking so I suppose, at the barest level, I don't understand the addiction to it, but come on people. It canb't take that much willpower to quit. I'm not asking you to lose 100 pounds by goiung to the gym everyday and working hard. All you have to do is not smoke. Just dont put the cigarette in your mouth and light it. I guess I'll never truly know, but come on, it can't seriously be as hard to quit as some people make it.
>>
>>684721995
I think thats way over the top. I went from a pack a day to a 2ish tanks of 6 a day for about 2 months, then a month of 1 tank of 3 a day, to a week of 0 then nothing. 0 is boring as shit and the flavor is different.
>>
>>684733278
But you just said you dont want to get cancer
>>
>>684733399
I don't think I'm addicted, yet anyways. The last year I went out to pubs and bars a lot and enjoyed a smoke or a few when drinking. I wasn't a smoker prior to this period, but it was quite enjoyable. So I bought a vape as a safer alternative. I bought my first vape last week and I'm kind of torn whether I should give it up or not. I see that's it's kind of pointless if I'm not already addicted to smoking. I'll most likely ease up on the vape or get rid of it.

I can say I've bought and tried out vaping and can make an informed decision whether its for me or not, how many vape bashers can say that?
>>
Ill be honest with all of you. I have smoken way more than enough for me to have become addicted to nicotine. Your all weak minded. If nicotine is an integral part of your schedule why the fuck do you think that now that you vape your going to be healthy? You will just find another item to abuse. Probably a vape.

Up to 15 packs on a good day?

Shit /b/ro

Ignore all this homosexual bullshit. Nobody gives a fuck what you look like while vaping, except you.

I used to smoke a pack of king-size "regular" strength smokes every day.
I bit the bullet on cost and picked myself up a Cuboid mod with a Twisted Messes RDA from a local shop for $100. Then I went and ordered some 26ga kanthal for cheap as fuck from KidneyPuncher and 120ml of quality juice from MittenVapors for cheap as fuck as well (dont forget to check JuiceDB for coupon deals no matter where you buy from).

I started with 6mg/ml nic because I was told that was a "light" dose.
I cut down from a pack a day to a pack every 3 days instantly. It was effortless. So I recommend that.

Popcorn lung is caused by diacetyl which is used to make some butter flavours. Its called popcorn lung because it was first discovered in workers at a popcorn factory that used the chemical for flavoring.

Since the news got out, most reputable companies no longer use diacetyl, but if it makes you feel better just avoid butter flavours altogether.
>>
>>684738610
so no more popcorn lung? problem solved?

>>684736391
Ask yourself two questions.

> 1. How much diacetyl is in cigarettes?

Once you find the answer...

> 2. How many people who smoke cigarettes have come down with even a gentle case of "popcorn lung".

Right.

Aslong as you buy from a decent enough place then yes. But buy the dollar crap at a corner store and bets are off. Not that this makes vaping completely healthy, theres still other risks but they are about 5% of the risks associated with smoking so way healtheir by comparison
