Maybe I'll start reducing the nicotine content of my liquid in the future and take it from there. From being a pack every second day smoker for the past 10 years I wouldn't want to relapse back to old habits.

Have to admit though quality on the charger and batteries aren't 100% so not surprised that one exploded. I had a faulty charger and battery on my starter pack which Twisp replaced without much hassle. My honest opinion is that its a good alternative if you can afford the initial cost R1320. The benefits really do outweigh the costs.

Initial cost of R1,320?:eek:
Gold plated?

Or did you stock up on juice with the initial kit?

That was my reaction too lol

I literally paid R550 for the whole kit which included battery, tank, atomiser, USB charger, wall charger and 2x 10ml liquids. After that I bought 2x 20ml liquids extra for another R120 in total. So for all intents and purposes, R670 for kit and 2+ months of liquid.

I didn't buy a Twisp - I have a Maxi from Justfog (Korean company IIRC) and it works perfectly. Cheaper sometimes can be better :)

Surely you must have noticed a big difference by now?


Ive noticed a marginal difference - but from all the stuff i've read - seems like in a couple months time I should feel vastly different.

Will see

I have been vaping for about 4 years now. The equipment was expensive and unreliable up until about a year ago, so I still smoked cigs occasionally. Since the start of this year I have not touched an analogue after placing my first order with http://www.fasttech.com/

They are cheap and reliable, based in China and offer free shipping.

Orders take about a month to arrive, and you have to pay a bit of tax when you collect from the post office. (I have never paid more than R50).

For a beginner I would recommend the following 1st order:

1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1491000
1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1341504
1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1297607
2x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1297505
2x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1297403
1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1297501
1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1360400
1x http://www.fasttech.com/products/1386200
Total cost $80.66 (approx.R800)

It includes 2 batteries – one is a pass through + charger, 6 atomisers, 5 replacement heating cores and 180 ml e-liquid.

The batteries should last at least 8 months. (I still use a battery which is more than 18 months old).
The atomisers come with heating coils, so there are 11 in total. Each should last at least 2 weeks. They often last more than a month. Sometimes you get a dud, at R10 each that should not bother you. You will want to use 2 or more at a time for different flavours.

The 180ml e-liquid should last at least 2 months. I dilute mine 70/30 with glycerine BP (approx. R10 for 100ml from any pharmacy). I also use 9mg/ml nicotine liquid. The above order is for 18mg/ml nicotine – beginners need more nicotine. 180ml would last me 5 months, and I vape daily (but not all day).

Very important: Learn how to rewick the heating cores with cotton wool.
See here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ictorial-evod-rewicking-cotton-recoiling.html

I rewick my cores about once a week when I notice less vapour production or a burnt taste. It is very easy once you’ve had some practice. I rewick before 1st use because I don’t like the wicks (silica fibre) these things are shipped with – don’t like the taste. You must also dryburn the coil when you remove an old wick to clean it properly before inserting the new wick. Some people recoil their cores when the old coil finally pops, but this is a bit too much maintenance considering that a new core costs R10 and lasts 2 weeks plus.
Google for YouTube tutorials explaining more about evod type atomisers.

There is more to learn than what I have time to explain here – prepare to experience a learning curve and be patient.

I find that vaping is more satisfying than smoking minus all the unpleasant aspects.

I see you included French Pipe in there as well - it's nice to mix with, has an interesting taste. Not so crazy about having that as the base though - I first tried with French Pipe and Turkish tobacco (Turkish has a nice maple-syrup-ish taste) and then was running the Energy Drink liquid with French pipe.

For a treat try Traditional Tobacco with Energy Drink in about a 70/30 mix... It's a love affair made in heaven :erm:

I think you're right Turkish or Traditional is probably better. I have completely lost my taste for tobacco flavour.
My preference in descending order for the Liqua eliquid flavours I enjoyed is:
Cola, Tiramisu, citrus, chocolate, energy drink, cherry, strawberry, vanilla.
Examples of one's I didn't like were apple, berry, coffee, grape, menthol, mint.

Does Liqua have a strawberry flavour as well?

I currently have 2 bottles of Vape liquids. Litchi and Strawberry - this strawberry is nice, but I noticed that when the tank gets low it gets a funny taste. Best way I can describe the taste is that it is similar to the smell of when you have been handling plants or a bunch of flowers or something. Still has a sweet after-taste though.

The Litchi is insane though. Someone described it as tasting like fruit juice - it really does. Smooth and fresh.

the twisp stalls in pavillion and gateway.

I have a twisp its an ok device. I highly recommend the kanger tech evoD. You can purchase the evod at www.eciggies.co.za. twisp make excellent flavours though. The evod can take any e-juice were as the twisp can get clogged with different brands of e-juice.

On a side note the device does matter if you buy the lame budget ones you will regret it also dont fool yourself e-cigs ARE NOT FOR QUITTING. Its a healthier alternative to smoking. Think of it as a portable vapouriser using a refined and purified solution of nicotine

EDIT:

I've broken my twisp twice. Its tank is glass so if you drop it, it will crack and the battery failed. Luckily you can buy replacement parts separately. The Evod has been through hell and back and still goes strong (im clumsy what to do)

as for champix I recommend you wait. Unless its life saving situation never rush to the brand new drugs on the market. Let the first lot of patients be the test subjects until they get data and optimize the drug etc

You stock Liqua.... I have been battling to get.

Guess I have a new supplier :)

Liqua is over rated. I added Liqua to my range a while back and it just would not take off. People gave it a try then went back to Dekang.
When the current Liqua pile runs dry I probably won't restock.

Quite a few online shops that stock it BTW.
