Noob questions

[Pingu]

Hello welcome all!
I'm a new user, I've ordered some kit! Ordered the Innokin itaste Express VV! I'm 34 an currently smoke about 10-15 golden virginia rollies each day, not good. So thought time has come to see what all the fuss is about! I've gone with 18mg tobacco flavour liquid and 18mg grants vanillia custard. Will 18mg be strong enough to ween me off the rollies or is that in fact too strong? How long will 10ml bottle last roughly? Do I need to vape less than I used to smoke if I go for fag breaks in work?

Whats the difference between clearomisers and cartomisers, which is better? I ordered a pack of both. As far as I can see the cartomisers are like filling a zippo lighter with fuel the cloth bit. The clearomisers you can change the wick is that right?

How long will the battery last for? And whats the life span like on them? Should I stock up on other batteries?

Cheers in advance.

Hello and welcome
I used to smoke 15-20 drum rollies a day and now I vape 12mg, you should be fine with 18.
I think I vape more often than I used to smoke but it's less each time if you see what I mean

Hello!

Yeah that kind of makes sense! I think someone checked with HR and we not allowed to vape in the office. Seems a shame to walk miles to go to the smoking area only to have a couple of drags to get the same hit as a rollie and walk all the way back, plus what about all that second hand smoke I'll inhale in the smoking area lol!

Hi Pingu and welcome :wink:
Most average cigs contain around 11-18mg of tar per pack,, based on this and using 18mg e-juice aka as 1.8mg meaning PER 1ml of e-juice is the equivalent of 1 pack of stinkies ( Yes I know brand varies) but it's a good guide .... I think its is assumed a 10ml bottle could/should last 1-2 weeks. dependent of quantity of use or the user.

Whatever way its looked upon it is way cheaper than ciggies and a million % safer.

I would think some heavy vapers are grossly unaware of this fact and possibly vape some 3-5ml or so a day and on that basis, Although nice fruity flavours taste yummy ..... are actually vaping the eqiv nicotine of 60-100 fags per day!!!!

Between 12-18mg strength is fine for me and I am/was a 20 per day smoker of B&H and a few rolls on top being I preferred taste of rollies but pissed off rolling them lol

As for clearomisers they are just easy to use/clean and produce good vapour along with the fact they hold a decent amount of juice. and yes they are repairable (mostly)
Cartos are probably said by most to give a better vape or throat hit used simply with a drip tip, also are real simple to top up or change flavour of juices with no fuss of fiddly wicks/coils etc.

Trial and error will determine what is preferable to the individual, yourself included no less.

I hope this helps.



ps: thats a nice starter kit......

Good point didn't think of that!

OMG try draw blood out of a stone why don't ya lol..... I cannot answer that never having used one But it's a good brand so I would think a good while... some still have egos a year or so later........

I would honestly think that the savings you make not smoking rollies... or at least as many wont even allow your worry if/when a new battery is due
