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 smoked for around 2 years, vaping for a couple of months helped me a lot to quit smoking, now it has been around 2.5 years since I quitted.

I started smoking cigarettes a few months ago. Relaxes me. I haven't tried vaping but the whole idea throws me off.

1 already read some things about this, as people tend to advise this. Don't really know how to start making my own juice but want to try it out maybe next month. For now I'm getting used to the feeling.
2 figured that out. the first few days were the hardest I admit
3 From the first minute I made a little on-the-go wallet with 2 bottles of juice, 1 coil and charcher. Usually go out with solar-charced battery pack for cellphone too
4 This I already figured out since I tend to vape more..
Thx for sharing some advice!

"will taste like ass of a man who eats only cigarette butts" chokes on vape from laughing
Really appreciate the help your giving, just tried vampire vape strawberry & kiwi. Already changed the coil again and the ejuice in the trashcan. Absolutely not my taste. I'll stick with heisenberg and the attraction flavours for now. Definitely will take a shot at making some juice next month. Thanks

I did try to keep the coil and put in some other juice. Tried for about an hour or 2 but there's just something awfull for me that stayed in the taste. So cleaned everything again, placed new coil and gladfully it's gone now. Since I'm using the ego aio device I can't replace tank if the bad taste hadn't gone away so luckely it did.

i use an istick pico mod, with a kagertech subtank mini and 3mg nicotine fluid, I use an RDA as well so i build my own coils (26ga. 6 turns). Smoked for over 15 years and i love vaping now, wouldn't look back at cigs these day. Glad the vaping is working out for you :D, isn't it nice to be able to walk up hills without dying!!!!!

....istick pico mod...kagertech subtank....RDA, 26ga...6 turns... looks at google and thinks, hello my friend for the next 5 hours :D
Thanks for the info, it all sounds chinese to me for now but I want to take as much advice as possible and I'm really glad so many people do find this thread interesting. Didn't think it will give all these nice comments and ideas. Ty!

Hahaha!! I would suggest having a nice long chat about the different types of vaping and vaporiser with a vape sales rep, although, make it very clear it is about advice and you are not buying that day(- and make sure you don't, they are VERY good at selling shiny new vapes), then go away with that information and google away

On a side note, I don't know about ordering vape supplies but there is a not bad shop in Leiden if you go that way in the Netherlands, its just off of the Beestenmarkt on the corner of Apothekersdijk and Prinsessekade, I tried to help a mate out there too when he wanted to get a vape from smoking, hes still vaping :D

I don't smoke or vape so don't have much to add, but I would like to recommend an episode about vaping by one of my favorite podcasts - Science Vs. It's only 18 minutes long, and in my opinion, very interesting.

also wherever or whatever liquid/aroma you buy check it for "diacetyl" since some actually contain it. Diacetyl is harmful to your lung and leads to a disease called "pop-corn lung" which is incurable. Read an article about it recently^^ Except the diacetyl you don't have anything to worry about ;)

I prefer vaping, but neither is important to me. Watermelon is probably my favorite flavor. Some bubblegum can be pretty good too.
