Go down even further to 12mg and you can take bigger hits. But 12 i think is the lowest I will go.
0

52mg.
still not stronk enough, but getting there.
it also needs a bit of 24mg added to get some flavour, like tobacco, orange or mint.

im considering going all out with the 100mg, and mixing it with 24mg flavoured at 1:1.
This 52mg is not to be used until diluted below 36mg
36mg is the max strength you should consider using above this amount is not recommender
Before using this or any e-liquid base please take the time to read the safety notes on this site
This 52 mg base must be diluted before use.
Approximate strength of finished liquid you may find suits you
6mg = Low
16mg-26mg = Normal fags
36mg = Very strong
Above 36mg = the pack of fags you got on holiday in the former eastern block that tasted like road tar and turned the filter black.
headaches are a good indication you need a lower strength
Please read the safety guide on home page of this web shop


This mixture is classified as “Toxic”
Toxic if swallowed (R25)
Very toxic in contact with skin (R27)


lol. exageration much?

too many damn recommendations on this thread. there's too many of these things! I need to know what "the best" one is so I can have that feel-good feeling inside when I buy it! I'm looking to try this out but have never made the jump

The best and cheapest one is NOTHING

You quit, vs substitute your addiction from one thing to another.

ESPECIALLY since the entire "ECIG" thing seems WAY more dangerous than even cigarettes. We are talking CHEMICALS here, things that you will not much know about for YEARS to come.

If you REALLY think tobacco companies wants you to quit and give you a product to do so you are completely out of your mind.

Ecig = just another way to make MORE money, at the expense of YOUR health.

If you think it's safe, you are very ignorant and blind.

If you're willing to wait a week or two for shipping this kit here is a great performing unit, and at this price you wont find anything better. Look up reviews on it, besides the slightly unintuitive LCD display it creates a great vapor.

Um, one of the best things about the ECIG movement is that the major Tobacco companies are not behind it. The backbone of the ECIG movement is local mom and pop stores mixing their liquids and selling chinese parts.

In fact I expect the regulation against ECIGS to increase dramatically in the next few years as tobacco companies try to lobby to protect their market.

I don't smoke, but come on man, please don't pull this "CHEMICALS ARE EVIL" nonsense .. I have no idea how the word got such a connotation when literally every substance larger than an atom is a CHEMICAL. How about those evil chemicals H2O and worse C6H12O6!!!!

E-cigs are obviously safer than cigarettes. Pure nicotine > nicotine plus a bunch of other crap, despite the fact that it's made of evil chemicals.

I was like you before I bought it. Clueless and overwhelmed. Do you have a local tobacco store near you that might have a decent selection? I can tell you what to buy exactly if you want to duplicate what I have. If you want "the best" you are looking at over $250.00 for a battery and something like $60.00 for a tank + accessories. You probably don't want "the best".

Review for my battery:

Review for my tank:

They are very much well regarded and I can say they work well.

Sounds fine, but there is no way in HELL I would trust the chemicals they are putting in that crap.

I would rather take my chances with cigs.....

Do you REALLY know that it's just nicotine though? How?

They can put whatever they want in it.

And think about it, replacing nicotine with nicotine really doesn't do much for addiction.

It blows my mind people are actually buying this Ecig crap. WOW

But hey, more power to the companies that sell them. Sucker born each and every day.

If you want to quit, just quit. The best tool to do that is will power.

Okay first off, you can make your fucking own liquid mix if you really want to make sure what you put in it is just PG and nicotine + flavouring if thats your thing.

Secondly, the point for MANY people isn't to stop nicotine, its to stop smoking nasty dirty cigarettes.

Do you REALLY know what's in Pepsi?

Quitting is easy, I did it a thousand times.

lol@ vdub

vaping will save my life. i used to inhale pipe smoke, i'd wreck cigars (even the huge ones) and when i'm stuck in a non smoking area for more than 1 hour i take a tiny chunk of tobacco and EAT IT. since i started vaping i have less cravings, i dont feel like shit anymore, my lungs dont hurt and i dont smell like an ashtray.

if i smoke a cigarette (a roll up one, too, not a proper ciggie) i immediately feel a hit of toxic crap which just isn't there with vapes. AND STILL i get to take nicotine.

really i cant think of a single thing wrong with it.

The sale ends soon so buy it now if you want it at that price.

It is a fully digital mod meaning it reads ohms, and has adjustable voltage and wattage. This lets you dial in your preferred temp for whatever atomizer you use. Everything but higher end RBAs and RDAs will work on this unit.

And yes it charges your phone or ipod. It has a 2600mah battery that provides I believe 1.5A output. So enough for phones and stuff, but wouldnt charge newer ipads.

it uses 510 thread which is standard size and will fit most clearomizers on the market.

Kind of torn between trying these out for batteries for starters.

Thoughts?

http://www.aspirecig.com/products/aspire-cf-battery-series/cf-battery-150.html

http://evic-evic.com/

I have an an evic and it works well. A bit expensive and has a lot of features for vaping like setting atomizer voltage, it auto calculates the voltage needed when you connect an atomizer, you can set special features such as number of puffs until it turns off. Battery lasts a long time. I use mine in the house when my pen style ones are charging.

There are cheaper alternatives like the itaste or ego spinner.

Yeah I kinda of liked the looks of that for those reasons a bit.

Still buying cartons of cigarettes for the last 40 years is what is expensive :p

Getting a decent E-Cig setup from the start would be a drop in the bucket compared to that.

You can go super high end and get a HanaModz V3
Variable wattage 7-30W in .1W increments.
at $250 it's a bit pricey, and it's still pretty new so it can be hard to find it in stock...

Realistically though, the one you are looking at looks nice.
