Been vaping since Thursday, and haven't had a cig since Friday morning. Using an iPV mini with a 5ml Aspire Atlantis tank.

I originally started with an ecig, ProSmoke, few years ago. Never quit cigarettes while using it. Not bashing the brand, just wasn't for me. About a year ago, a friend introduced me to her eGo, and it actually felt close to smoking. Finally got off my lazy .... and got one Thursday. A new coworker overheard myself and a longtime vaper discussing my new eGo, and he generously donated an entire vaping setup that he wasn't using. Now my wife has the eGo and I'm using the mini+Atlantis setup.

I was recommended to visit this website, and after trolling for a few days seems very friendly and helpful. I also appreciate the Tapatalk support.

Trolling for a few days ?.

Lol, they probably meant lurking. Or trawling around for info.

Welcome to the insanity, @MercilessLTD.

 

[MercilessLTD]

Trolled using "trolling" unintentionally. Yeah, I meant lurking or reading. Thanks for the welcomes.

If I ain't sane, I don't wanna be.

Welcome to the forum and to the vaping community at large! Lots of friendly and helpful folks here (and the occasional jerk, but fewer here than any other online forum I've found, so just ignore them when you encounter them)

I quit smoking using an ego-like device (T3D on an Evod VV) just a few months ago. I've moved on to other devices, but those seem to be very good setups for making the transition from smoking to vaping. Some never move past those, but eventually I needed more.

Congrats on quitting smoking! It's an amazing thing, isn't it?

Greetings MercilessLTD and Welcome to the ECF...........................Enjoy............................

Welcome to ECF. Glad you found gear that's working for you.

 

[MercilessLTD]

Thanks guys. It's working well. My only issue is a bit of flooding, but I'm doing my due diligence with research. From what I can tell with the .5 ohm coil, my low wattage (7W) setting, and lower VG fluid, I need to slow down on inhaling. Slower inhaling seems to reduce crackling and flooding.

Oh well. Can't have it perfect on a used setup and three days in. Patience.

Howdy fellow Commonwealth Vaper.

I understand how you felt in the beginning and i just couldnt quit cigs either. A couple months back i bought the Cloupor mini 50 wt, with the 0.5 atlantis tank. I have loved it since. Im saving now to upgrade to the Seg150 for the more intense clouds. I have a mech mod as well for the hobby of cloud making.

No, you should bash the brand.
I spent $800 on similar products in 2012 and just kept on smoking.

I am pleased to hear you are working it out now. Good luck.

I'm not sure how much I spent but I did it for over a year to no avail. To be honest, I haven't seen anyone use that style successfully, but my experience is limited.

I put in some 60/40 9mg, cleaned my setup, and taking much slower draws. This has reduced my flooding.

Any sites you guys and gals have had direct experience with for upgrades? I'm happy with my setup but it never hurts to look. I've been to a couple of local shops and I figured some searching would bring up threads with reviews of sites, but this is by far the best welcome of any forum, so I want to take advantage of the welcoming committee.

Bought 4 LG HE2 18650 batteries from Amazon after asking a friend for a recommendation. Here's to hoping!
