New newbie!

Hey thanks for this, I did actually pick up a black currant flavour from vampire vape, also when I want to change flavours do I need to empty what I have in there and clean it? Or can I just use what’s there and top up with a new flavour? Thanks again!

Vampire vape is a good brand, some flavours you can switch without cleaning the tank and the new flavour will come through after youve vaped off the old, but you can get flavours that linger and you cant get rid of without cleaning the tank and a new coil

Welcome fellow noob. I’ve been off the cigs for two months, and my advice is this:

1. Do not smoke and vape. Pick a day to give up and go with the vape. Every time you light a fag you are going back to square one.
2. I smoked 15-20 a day. On that basis I use 12mg. Definitely go for 50/50. 70vg is thicker and you might find you don’t get good hits and full flavour on your mod.
3. Experiment with your juices. There is an excellent thread on here with superb recommends for suppliers. Use this and order some fruits, puddings and cigarette type flavours. Enjoy trying different flavours until you find the ones you like.

Good luck and welcome to vaping! You won’t regret switching - health wise and financially!

To he fair, sometimes "dual fueling" can help.... I get where your coming from with the "pick a day" to quit the fags, but to be honest that's not going to work for everyone.

If you smoked 10 a day, but since you started vaping your down to 6 a day, that's 4 fags you didn't smoke, so your on your way to quitting smoking....

For some of us, quitting the fags and vaping full time worked (it did for me) but I know for others it hasn't, and they've gone back to the fags as they've felt like a failure .

Do what feels right for you....you'll fund your right balance.....and soon enough, you'll realise that you wont want a fag at all....

Good luck!

That's pretty much what happened for me. I just kept cutting down on the fags and vaping more. I got down to 4 a day and then decided when my baccy ran out I wouldn't buy any more. It was quite a painless way to do it for me.

I agree that’s it’s what works best for you that counts but for me it had to be one or the other/all or nothing. Also smoking and vaping are very different in terms of technique and ‘hit’ and I’m not convinced doing both is helpful in packing up. Just my experience. Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see if this works for @Bec1985 so good luck!

Thanks for this thatbis really handy! Also when I want to change flavours do I need to empty what I have in there and clean it? Or can I just use what’s there and top up with a new flavour? And the 50/50 thing is that 50% glycol and 50% glycerine?? It is showing as that so assume that is ok to use with my vape? Sorry to bother you lol Thanks again!

as mentioned above the two main ingredients in any eliquid is Vegetable Glycerine & Propylene Glycol. the 3 main ratios are 50/50, 70vg/30, 80/20 (there are others with higher pg and also higher vg).
for 1.8 coils 50/50 is bestas its not too thick or too thin.

changing flavours is a bit hit and miss. the majority i just empty the last bit onto a tissue and then fill up with new flavour which should come through within 5-10 puffs. there are a few which will linger forever like vampire vapes hiesenburg which is a fruit and anised base and this really needs its own coil and even tank as no matter how much its washed it will not clear the flavour for months.
you can wash the tank out but remove the coil first as water can ruin the coil.

Regards to e liquids, Although its the most expensive way to buy e liquid I would buy 10ml bottles of different flavours from different suppliers to see what you like.

The reason I say 10ml bottles is so then if you don't like it it isn't so much of a waste to chuck away

I was the same....it was one or the other, couldn't do both....

Different strokes and all that
