New to vaping

Hi guys,

I am 30 and quit smoking analogs 4 days ago... yay! Anyway, I bought a disposable e cig and found it incredibly helpful in conjunction with nicotine patches, so I decided to buy a refillable.

I bought a cheap one ($30) from my local tobacconist and I think I got screwed, becomse it didn't work, and when I went to exchange it I was told by the salesperson (not the one who initially sold it to me) that it was a very old model.

Anyway, after getting it exchanged for one that did work, I still wasn't really satisfied. The taste was bland and there wasn't as much vapour as I would have liked. I thought this could be due to it being such a cheap piece of equipment, so I upgraded yesterday and bought a Nexxt e cig for $75 (rrp $99).

I've been using it for 24 hours now, and although it is performing a lot better, I'm still a little disappointed by a few things. I've come to the conclusion that being a noob, I've probably made some typical noob mistakes (despite doing a fair amount of research on the subject of vaping), so I've joined up here!

My questions are as follows:

1) is the lack of a 'throat hit' due to no nicotine?

2) is my level of vapour and flavour output typical of all similar e cig models?

3) if the equipment isn't at comlt, should I recalibrate my expectations?

Also, the Nexxt came with a charging case, but it only charges when plugged into a power supply... I was under the impression it was an independent power source once fully charged, but perhaps I am wrong.

I'd really appreciate some guidance, as I feel sure that these hiccups are due to my inexperience, and I'm still sold on the idea of vaping!

Thanks in advance!

No throat hit is 100% due to no nicotine, it makes a big difference.

 

http://vape.to/showthread.php?t=35589 here is a thread just started yesterday with some good advice. OH and by the way, big congrats and welcome to the Vape.to family.

 

Thanks, I thought so.

Can I get nicotine cartomizers that are compatible for my Nexxt or have I just thrown away $75?

Im not familiar with that brand, nor can I find them on google, you cant refill them can you?

 

Thanks Tyzer, very useful information, even if I only understand about 50% of it at the moment lol!

If you include your location in your profile someone might be able to direct you to a vape shop near-by.

 

Mate, the bad news is you have blown $75, good news is you have found this forum. Put your location in your profile, there may be someone close that can help or a reputable vendor near you that we can steer you to

 

Thanks Mallee00,
For some reason didnt want to be the one to break the bad news

 

Bad news but good news
You will be right now here
Only 3-4 days smokes worth

 

The problem with buying from a tobacconist is they really dont want you to quit other wise they would be out of buisness.

 

Very true! Unfortunately as I'm in regional Victoria, there isn't a local vape shop.

Hi Vapewave and welcome to Vape.to.

Lovely to see a fellow Gippslander on the board!

i think the old adage "you get what you pay for" is alive and well in regards to vaping products.

They are some seriously satisfying products on the market but I'll let a veteran fill you in on what you should be looking for.

Once you find the right products, it's better than smoking and tons more satisfying!

Its a fun and rewarding hobby and it's awesome that you came across it
