New to the forum, decided to quite smoking

[4Packs]

So I'm new here, I figured I would sign up to this place because it appeared a lot of times in my serch results while I was looking for a vaporizer and eliquids to use to help me quit smoking.

Right now I'm smoking roughly 70 cigarettes a day, anything between 60 and 80 a day, I've been a smoker since I was 11 or 12. My sister managed to quit smoking using a vaporizer and even gave up nicotine completely using nothing but a vaporizer and gradually reducing the amount of nicotine in the eliquids that she used, she now uses her vaporizer with eliquids that contain no nicotine, so I'm hoping to do the same thing.

So I just bought myself - they actually arrived on Monday the 02/10/17 I haven't started using them yet, a couple of Kangertech DripBox 160w mods - so I have a spare one to use while one is charging or in case one of them breaks, I've also bought myself a handfull of RDA's, as everything I have watched or read about the Kangertech DripBox 160w have all said that the RDA that comes in the kit is rubbish - I do plan on using the RDA's that came with both of the DripBox 160w kits I have bought until the cotton in them is worn out and needs replaced before I give any of the other RDA's that I bought a try, and enough of the 18mg strength of tobacco flavoured eliquid to last me a month - that's assuming the person at my local vaporizer shop got his math right. As far as batteries go I got myself 4 Sony VTC6 18650 batteries and then found out that a company called ''Fogstar'' make a better battery that is 3500mah, so I bought 4 of them and plan to now keep the Sony's as spares. Not to mention all the accessories I figured I would need, pre made clapton coils, several packs of cotton bacon, ceramic tweezers, RDA coil brushes, 24g/32g clapton wire, a coil winder, extra squonk bottles, and some other bits and bobs.

I'm planning on giving up the cigarettes tomorrow morning, or Monday morning depending on how good the weekend is. Is there anything that I'm missing or need that I haven't purchased yet, don't know that I need yet or would make things easier for me?

Thanks

I know youve said you have a prety hefty daily stinkie rate but you could do with some lower strength nicotine as vaping 18mg in the kit you mention will be a challenge at best or make you ill at worst.
You seem committed so good luck and don't be frightened to ask for help on here.
Hi and welcome by the way.

Hi and welcome to the Planet

good for you for wanting to give up the dreaded smokes.
now i have to ask this but have you ever vaped before.
reason i ask is it looks like you have jumped in at the deep end (im reading up on the mod as im typing as never used one before).
firstly fogstar is the place to go so you got that right.
3500mah batteries im not sure that these are really for vaping especially as you have a 160watt mod.
we tend to use either 2500mah for high wattage and 3000mah for under 80watts. i personally use samsung 25R and 30Q.
i think the 3500mah are more for things like high powered torches but someone else in the know can clarify this.
a dripper or sqonk is a big step for most people and not just for a beginner. hopefully someone else can clarify this would be ok with 18mg nicotine as most use low 3-6mg
high nicotine like 18-20mg are more associated to mouth to lung tanks with high ohm coils run at 10-14watts max.

im not trying to put you off in any way but wouldnt want you to start with what you got without clarifying the kit,batteries and juice will work together.

have a gander at this video

Hello & welcome 4Packs, All the best with quitting the coffin nails.

Welcome and good luck with quitting, mate. Are you also known as Slash lol! (Guitarist from gun's n' rose's, for those who don't know; he's a 70-a-day smoker).

Hi and welcome, well done on making the decision and getting prepared. Fogstar is a very trusted seller and I'm glad you found him, don't dismiss your sonys tho, they are a very good battery. Amps are more important than mah, all to do with ohm's law, plenty of reading material on here to get up to speed. Good luck with your joirney

Hi @4Packs
Didn't notice your username before. Class.
@MrDJ is bang on the money and better put than me.
We just want to make sure the combo you've chosen will be suitable to help you get off the ciggies.

The 18mg liquid will be okay if you take fewer puffs but see how it goes, the Dripbox should be a good piece of kit once you get used to Squonking and the VTC6 batteries are fine to use in that mod. The 3500mAh sould be fine just check their Amp rating, you won't be at 160w anyway.
Oh and Welcome!

I'm inclined to agree that if you've not vaped before you've got yourself some pretty complicated kit there. Also, subohming 18mg is really hardcore.

If you've not vaped before I'd suggest a low wattage MTL (mouth to lung) setup for your 18mg liquid and some 3/6mg liquid to use with what you have already once you get used to something simpler.

Good luck!

this is all guess work on my part but reading your post again you mention youve bought other RDA's. best mention what make they are as they might not work on your mod as its a squonk and has the hole at the bottom to push the juice upwards. most rda's you drip the juice onto the cotton from the top so you wouldnt be able to use the internal juice bottle.
its a learning curve for me as well as ive been vaping for over 2.5 years and only use tanks with pre built coils
