The Vape

I stopped basically new years because I ran out of cigarettes and was at an event miles away from any shops.
Haven't touched a ciggie since then and dit a cold tukey to get nicotine free, but started vaping 0mg nicotine just until I get over the hand to mouth habit.
I still like the sensation of "smoke" entering lungs.

I always thought vaping was a bit of a joke,but I should've tried it earlier to get off the stinkies.
 
I picked up a vape 3.5 years ago and have not smoked a cig since. I use to smoke 40 a day for about 20 years.

My advice have two devices, with different flavours to prevent vapour tongue. Also helps when you have to recharge batteries.

Don't go off nicotine to soon. Stick to 3 or 6mg juice for at least 3 months then cut down if you want too.

I ake my own juice and vaping now costs me R250 per month, vaping constantly through out the day.

Any advice on making own juice?

I'm spending more on juice than I did on ciggies.

Find flavour profiles you like (some experimentation with smaller quantities is needed). Then buy those flavours in bulk, mix as much as possible at a time.

Alternatively, find clone recipes of popular flavours, read the reviews etc, then buy in bulk and mix as much as possible at a time.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone.

Received my order for VG / PG and Flavours today.

Did a whole lot of reading and going to experiment a bit over the next few days with all the knowledge I accumulated over the past few days.

Gave Vape Hyper a go. They had a few flavours that I was interested in like Turkish Tobacco.

I have to say that they were super speedy on delivery.Placed my order over the weekend and received everything this morning and they are based in Centurion or somewhere around there. I'm in Cape Town.
 
I got a vape around the 25th of Dec in order to start the cig-quitting process, but i'm struggling.

I thought of breaking the day into smaller blocks that i only vape and don't smoke, but so far i've only managed to maintain that for the 30min drive between home and work. I'm weak as a button and can't shake the goddam cigarette monkey from my back. ><

The vape tastes great though. For the record i have both a beard and a man... strike that... a bun. No pennyfarthing or anything resembling dress sense, so don't call me a hipster.

I need someone else to quit smoking for me.

So I have been smoking for 20 years and have been trying to quit for a while. Tried books, patches and pills.
Walked passed a vape shop. I overheard an elderly gentleman tell how he quit smoking after he vaped for the first time. He smoked 60 cigarettes a day. I had a look in the shop and walked out with a vape starter kit.

I received a bit of stick and mockery from friends about vaping. I have not smoked in 7 days. I have reduced my nicotine to the lowest juice and on the next bottle moving to 0 nicotine.
Plan is to be off nicotine and then stop vaping by march.

Really impressed by the vape. Food taste better, my blocked sinus is gone, I have less headaches and the constant cough is gone. I also realized that I feel more energetic and less out of breath doing sport.

I only vape in allocated smoking areas.

Congrats! Keep it up tho!

I'm in the same boat. Had my last cig on the 7th.
I however want this to be the last damn attempt at quitting, so I'll be slowly tapering off of the nicotine.

Lots of patience.

I started making my own as well. Bought concentrates from www.clyrolinx.co.za

They have a DIY mixing guide on their website and a WhatsApp group for customers.

There is a very good diy juice section on ecigssa.co.za. I prefer buying my supplies from www.blckvapour.co.za very big selection of flavours.

I settled on about 6/7 recipes that I like and are my All Day Vapes. Once you find the ones you like, the costs go down.

I'm old-school and a cheapskate. Rocking a subtank/toptank mini which I rebuild every three weeks. It's pretty cheap.

I use a Franken-twisp. Areo tank with a Vega battery. I do re-wick the atomisers which saves me a fair bit of money.

Been a while since your post. How’s the tapering off going? Asking as I started the year on 50mg salts now am on 0,5 to 1mg. Think I am going to mix up both a 0,5 and a 0mg liquids going forward. Hopefully in a month or two I will be down to 0mg then finally quit.
