Two weeks ago I decided that after almost 18 years of smoking something had to change, many people and doctors had already given me the advice more than once. Over the years I had tried quitting multiple time, always with the same result. I keep coming back to smoking. This time I started with what I mostly do when I hit a problem, do some research online and see what others have come up with. What I noticed is how much people have quit smoking by switching to vaping. I know it still isn't healthy but for now I'll take it. I already had a kit from few years back but much has changed and wanted something which I felt more comfortable with. So I ordered a new starter kit (ego aio) online and 2 days later it was here. I felt a strange urge for taking a final moment, enjoying a last one and saying farewell to an old friend.. the cigarettes, so I did. I haven't touched one since then...
I am currently using liquid with 6mg nicotine, my next batch will be 3mg and then I expect in 2 weeks 0mg. I used to smoke 25-30 cigarettes a day and I am happy how things are going. Maybe It's me but the benefits of not smoking (even though I vape) are noticeable.

I must admit that I am very pleased with my vaper, I know it's only a starter and isn't on high lvls but it does what I wanted it for. Helping me stay of the cigarettes. My plan is to get it down to 0mg and after that see how I can build of the use and eventually stop vaping also.
Since I am new to everything (the few times I used that vaper in the past are not worth mentioning) I would like to know your experiences with vaping, what brands you use, if you use and where you get your stuff (coils, liquids,...) other helpfull tips are more than welcome!

For Dutch people where do you order online for liquids, coils & others from shops that ship to Belgium?

tl;dr: obligatory gibs

I dont smoke or vape, but my friend do. After few months of vaping he started to make his own home made liquids from components. What i've been told is with some experience you can mix liquid which will fit your tastes and your device much better than bought one. and 5 times cheaper.

Nice layout of the train but no smoking at all is the best way indeed. Yes.

I approve this thread.

I guess you speak Dutch so; Ik ben zelf pas ongeveer een half jaar geleden begonnen en haal soms wat jointjes hier en daar bij coffeeshops in Breda, en een waterpijp van een of ander merk had ik eens met een vriend in een winkeltje in Rotterdam gehaald. Zelf vind ik de "AK 47" wel interesant geuren, die je kan halen bij coffeeshops. Maar het heet overal anders en god wat zijn er veel verschillende smaken. Probeer gewoon wat uit in Nederland en je ziet vanzelf wel wat je wilt. Edit; Ik weet dus niet hoe het zit met online bestellen, maar er zijn wel wat websites die naar België gaan denk ik.

Ik ga vanmiddag eens kijken in Hulst en zien wat ik daar kan vinden. Ben woonachtig in Belgie dus heel Nederland kan ik niet rondbollen. Thanks voor de ak 47-tip. Zal eens rondkijken of ik em ergens tegenkom.

Maar die ak-47 is toch weed ofni? Anyway ik rol zelf nog sigaretten maar paar maten van mij halen het gewoon in Henny's cloud in Aalst, daar kun je ook Wiet bestellen als je overeen komt met de eigenaar.

I switched to vaping 2.5 years ago, but not like you as a method to totally quit, just as a method to change one habit for other less unhealthy. I started on 12mg and also with same starter as you, nowadays also using 12mg but now with a custom mod ;) I simply enjoy the activity of smoking / vaping, and vaping is not so unhealthy plus much better from economical standpoint. So I intend to keep vaping but not going back to smoking ;)

My current setup is:
Steam Crave v2 Aromamizer RDTA
I make my own coil for it - double vertical using twisted clapton kanthal wire
Hcigar VT75 box mod
I vape self made liquids - using 12mg OPTIMUM base and experimenting with different aromas, currently made a batch of wonderful blackberry-strawberry combo.

I know many people keep vaping and my thoughts are the same. change a bad habit in a less unhealthy one. My goal still remains to eventually to quit smoking. I'm currently satisfied with the ego and the best would be if it stays my only advice and I quit. The other case I probably will want to expand my horizon and see what other devices and such are possible. Thanks for the info and enjoy the blackberry-strawberry combo :-)

More or less 1Ω, generally I tried small resistance (0.3Ω - Quad parallel coil) making really massive clouds out of 3mg liquid but I didn't enjoy it all that much - I'm not really a fan of lung shots, never liked them smoking real tobacco, don't like them vaping - I prefer mouth-to-lung inhalation, meaning at once I will inhale much smaller cloud, so thus I prefer thicker, more condensated ones ;)

Good luck quitting! I've tried quitting more times than I can remember, never successful. The only time that it was somewhat successful was when I also switched for another addiction (an addiction that I quit shortly after starting with it), which made me last 10 months without a cigg. Hope you'll manage much better than what I've done so far!

"I am currently using liquid with 6mg nicotine, my next batch will be 3mg and then I expect in 2 weeks 0mg. I used to smoke 25-30 cigarettes a day "
Only hint i got: you're moving too fast. Just smoke a nicotine dosage that comforts you, and adapt to the new habbit. You will smoke / vape less over time anyways, once you get used to the softer hit.

(just my 2 cents, but that's what i noticed with everyone who switched)

I quit smoking cigarettes some 7-8 years ago. Recently, for the last 4-5 months, I got hooked on cuban cigars. I tried a few cigarettes during this time, just to compare them to the cubans and then I decided I will never smoke a single cigarette ever again. I still don't understand how I could smoke that crap for so long. Anyway, I'm very happy with the cubans but I'd like to try vaping. It's just that I have no idea were to start.

The easyiest and best answer would be don't start vaping. If you're not smoking now I wouldn't start, it still is unhealthy and it's a habit so trying to quit could be hard. Over the years I've smoked a few cubans too and there's really nothing like it.

I ordered this and [this](http://www.vapeclub.co.uk/vampire-vape-e-liquid/heisenberg-e-liquid-by-vampire-vape.html} one from vapeclub also. Liking the heisenberg a lot. Do you think 'vampire vape' is a trustworthy brand since a shop opened up few days ago at 10km from my house and they pretty much have everything there. Thanks for the German site!
