I posted a vaping funny last night and am interested to share experiences with other vapers and ex-vapers. Do/did you vape to quit smoking? How much did you smoke? What vape gear and juice do you use? I'll copy SB's comment from the other thread to kick off. Nice. I smoked a pack a day for 22 years and vaped for 4 afterwards. Just slowly lower your nicotine levels and you can wean yourself off of vaping as well. Back when I was vaping, I was mixing my own juice and wrapping my own coils. Sub-ohming as well.. I smoked for over 40 years, usually only 5-10 per day, never a pack, and mostly roll-your-own. I got my first vape about 15 months ago but it took a while to totally replace the cigs. There is such a vast amount of gear and juice flavours available, as well as different vape styles, it can take a while to find your sweet spot. I started with an inexpensive starter kit which didn't exactly gain my love. A bit more research and I decided I'd prefer MTL (mouth-to-lung), which is similar to how cigs are smoked, over DTL (direct-to-lung) which is how fanatical vapers make those massive clouds. After trying a couple more setups, I now use an Eleaf iStick Pico25 mod (the battery bit) with a VandyVape Berserker MTL RTA tank. This is a RTA (rebuildable tank atomiser) for which you build your own coils. I also have a Vaptio Cosmo which is an inexpensive starter kit but surprisingly good. It's nice to have a choice of which flavours you feel like puffing each time. Not mixing my own juice yet but it's on the cards. My favourite juices currently are fruity ones - Antivenom by 5150 - mango and pineapple with a hint of mint Truth by Propaganda - strawberry lemonade I know most of the regulars here are too smart to smoke, but if you do and are considering vaping to help quit, just do it!
