Absolute noob

[h1r3z]

Hi & welcome.

I went through quite a long stage of vaping while I was still smoking and I found that regarding coughing my guts up, the two didn't go together well. I found that if I had been smoking in the day and then had a vape, the vape made me cough. If I had been vaping mostly through the day (and got used to it), then had a smoke afterwards, that made me cough. I think if you stick with the vape and try to lay off the smokes, you'll get used to it. That's what happened for me at least.
I hope it works the same for you.

All the best with the quitting. No matter the system you use to quit, there's always going to be a good portion of willpower required. You can do it.

Hi, and welcome

My input would be the same as what has been said,

You are using a bit of kit which would normally be for the "more advanced vapers" this bit of kit is not what you want to be using whilst you are trying to come off the fags.

You need a much lower wattage coil, and a different kind of tank all together. you want what is known as a MTL tank. This doesn't need to be very expensive either. you will require a different mod too, which is the thing you press the button on to fire it. again this can be bought as a cheap kit.

This will allow you to replicate as much as possible a normal fag. Your juice would need to be either 12 or 18mg for you to feel the benefits of vaping. Once your system gets used to this change, then over time you will be able to use the kit you already have.

there is many people on here with so much knowledge, any questions and I'm sure they will help.

Good luck.

Hi and welcome to the forum! [emoji4]

I’d also like others here recommend getting some MTL kit and high nic juice which will more adequately replicate the draw and the hit you get off the smokes.

Keep the kit you’ve got around as you may find that after a while once the cravings ease off and you’re more used to not smoking that tou prefer the style of the kit you’ve got.

But for the transition period maybe think about picking up one of these.

And some of the 1ohm mtl coils. You can get 15% off with the code POTV15

Also grab some high nic 50/50 juice. I recommend Manabush. Some fantastic tobacco style flavours in 18mg

Above all. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Also. Try not to stress about dual fueling or anything like that. Kicking the habit is hard and no one will judge you.

I used to keep an unopened pouch of baccy in my bag just so I always had the reassurance that I could have a smoke if I needed to.

I ceremonially binned it on my 1 year anniversary and it was a marvellous feeling [emoji106]

Welcome to the planet. There has already been some good advice and it maybe necessary to buy another kit to help you get off the coffin nails. I know you said money was a bit tight , but just think how much you're spending on the fags (20/30 a day). Make the investment and you'll soon be saving big bucks, unless you carry on hanging about on this forum, there's always something new and shiny to buy.
