NEW MEMBERS: Introduce yourself here!!!

hello and welcome to all the new members hope you enjoy your time here and learn as much as you can

 

Hey, My name is Jimmy, Canberra based vaper! Been vaping close to 5 months now. Soon to be moving remote. Any tips on getting Nic here fast so I can stockpile to avoid HUGE shipping times??

 

Hi Wonderchop, If you need to get nic ASAP then you're best to go with the canadaers Unflavoured Nicotine eLiquid 100ml - PG/VG: 60/40 |. Maybe ask them about remote deliveries if you put an order in.

 

G'day all, new to the world of vaping, wanting to change from the ciggies purely for money saving reasons.

So much info, just when I think I get somewhere I find out something new that makes me scratch my head and wonder. But I have decided to jump in head first now, time to learn from experience and mistakes!!

Been reading here for a while now, first time I registered, looking forward to all the help I can get.

 

Welcome aboard dfgdfg there are definitely savings to be made in the long run and its great to see you have been doing your homework so hopefully your mistakes will be kept to a minimum. If you are unsure about anything it always pays to ask 1st and hit the "Buy Now" button later so don't be shy

 

welcome avtek, wonderchop and dfgdfg

 

Hi guys been vaping for about 2 weeks with the odd smoke in between not bad from a pack a day just need some juice with stronger nicotine to stop the coffin nails complete. I wish i found this place before I started so much info here would of saved some $$$$.

and thanks for the info in advance,
Klompa

 

Hey guys'n'gals, hopefully just had the last one about 30mins ago. My gear* arrived last week, but i'm waiting on nic to arrive. i'm sitting here playing the waiting game for a small amount of nic a friend sent me to get me by till more arrives. I wasnt aware till after I placed the order and bought my last pouch of Champion that we couldnt buy nic domestically, or that we could buy from NZ, so currently watching the tracking info, which I gather is a common modality here. I was only linked this forum a couple days ago, after I already made my order.

I'm an avid hi-end.comdio gear DIYer; I design and make my own PCBs for DACs, poweramps, headphone amps, DSP etc, got my own reflow oven etc, so we'll see if this actually saves me any money, or just gets me off the stinkies and gives me another DIY addiction , which would still be acceptable.

I was confused about the RMS vs mean voltage on these things as its usually only of meaning when dealing with AC, rather than the DC a battery gives out, but it looks like these things, at the more tech end are running effectively Class D amps in them, so vary the duty cycle of the 'Square wave' so they probably often have some sort of basic DAC in there as well? the nice thing about designing these devices vs.comdio, is not worrying about distortion and noise in the parts per billion. That being said i'm pretty sure this hobby has its share of snakeoil, just like hi-end.comdio.

so hopefully when I get my head around the terminology specific to vaping a bit more, i'll be able to give a bit back; with what is no doubt hundreds of Q's relating to Ohms law and other basic electronics, just like.comdio forums... no doubt i'll have a bash at DIY, but was keen on getting up and running before diving into that.

anyway i'll stop rambling for now, looks like a nice little community here, i'll do some more reading before asking any questions. First up is checking out some local Flavors and grabbing a Klanger BCC. I'm a little bit worried about the bleeding gums, as I already struggle a bit with this.

*(standard ultimate EGO starter pack from vapebar, I didnt have time for too much research)

 

Welcome new members.

Yes it's that time of the thread again, for "Noe's List".

The below is a re-post but I like to keep it easy to find for new vapers or potential new vapers, be.comse it helps if you know what you need to get started:

IMO what you want for your initial order is a 1-stop-shop, where you can get everything you need in 1 order.
Regardless of what you decide to order, this makes things very simple & means everything arrives at the same time, so you can get into it immediately you open it(well almost, make sure the batts are charged first).

For the same reason I recommend Health Cabin for first orders, they have a large range of products, they ship reliably(choose EMS shipping & you will usually have you goods in a week, 2 at most), their customer service is very good & their prices are good too. Plus they have everything you need, including nic juice to get you started.

Essentials:
Kit
I think the best solution for a new vaper is an entry level device, which will serve as a back up should you have problems with your mod later on, like these kits:
eGo K Vision Compact Kit V2 in 30 styles [02-F] - $18.99 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail two of these kits will have, 2 chargers( a spare in case one fails) 2 clearomisers & 2 batteries, all you really need to start vaping minus the juice.

Juice
Next you will want some juice my recommendation is 10x 10ml, 18mg/ml, pre-mixed juices in various flavors:
Dekang E-juice/E-liquid for Ecigarette
or
HC E-Juice/E-Liquid : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
Then also get some unflavored nic in 36mg/ml, 75/25 PG/VG, which you can mix later with canuk made doublers, so 1 or 2 x 115ml bottles:
115ml HC Unflavored E-liquid [Z8 HC Unflavored 115ml] - $11.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

Optional devices:
If you want to stop there, you can & will be able to start vaping with just what is above or if you want to try different clearomisers/tanks etc then these are some good ones to try:
3.5ml Ismoka BCC(Bottom Coil Changeable) Mega Clear Cartomizer [03-3A-4321] - $11.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
5pc New CE3 Bottom Coil 510 Clearomizers [05-C-12] - $10.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
Innokin iClear 30 Dual Coil Clearomizer with replaceable coil (Crystal Gift Box) [05-H-3-2] - $10.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
Vision eGo Clearomizer V3 (Exchangeable & Detachable)

While not an absolute "must have" these come in handy sometimes for your eGo type batteries:
500mA USB Power Adapter/Charger (US/EU/UK.com plug) [05-A-2-2] - $3.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

Items for mixing
A bottle of PG & a bottle of VG will come in handy if you need to dilute your juice later on & it is cheap to grab a bottle of each at the same time:
115ml PROPYLENE GLYCOL USP(PG) [Z4 115ml PG] - $3.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
115ml Vegetable Glycerin USP (VG) [Z4 115ml VG] - $3.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
Some empty mixing bottles will also come in handy, perhaps 4x 30ml & 4x 10ml to start with:
Empty Ejuice Bottle(childproof) [06-D-23] - $0.25 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
A syringe is also a good idea to grab for measuring liquids & refilling some kinds of clearos etc, I would grab one of each size:
E-juice Injector(1ml 2.5ml 5ml 10ml) Ejuice Injector /syringe [06-D-1-1] - $0.25 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
You will also want blunt tipped needles for your syringes, 4 of these, Long(XL) type:
Blunt needle for syringe [05-D-2-1] - $0.15 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

Devices not recommended
I DO NOT recommend v2cigs, overpriced, cigalikes for anyone!
If you want a cigalike, HealthCabin also stock them, look for a 510 manual starter kit. It will be much cheaper & perform the same as the more expensive V2cig kit but these will not work anywhere near as well as the gear I listed above.
If you decide you still want a cigalike & get the 510 kit, I recommend using these to put your juice in for vaping:
5pc New CE3 Bottom Coil 510 Clearomizers [05-C-12] - $10.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

 

I live about an hour away from Newcastle in a town called Lochinvar. Married 3 years with a 2 & 1/2 yr old .comghter, to whom i am also Mr Mum.

I've been watching the world or Vaping for over a year now ever since a friend came over with an ecig.
I'm now confident in the product enough to get my first kit.
Looking forward to looking through the thread and getting some further tips n tricks

 

Welcome Klompa.

We have a Perth Vape meet this weekend, might be interesting for you if you can make it
http://forums.canukvapers.com/e-cig...on-forum/15055-perth-vape-meet-september.html

 

Hi people, I'm from Brisbane ! Been vapouring for two weeks now , beats giving Coles $150 a week on my nicotine addiction..

Site looks great

 

thanks Noe, yeah I kinda wanted to order my gear domestic as I already spend a crapload of money on OS imports for my business, but I only realized too late after i'd committed to the vapebar order that I couldnt get juices containing NIC here. so here I am having had to order from OS anyway and another day has passed, i've run out of smokes and the small amount I arranged to tide me over hasnt arrived in today's express post... so I must regretfully buy another pack, havent had a smoke since getting up this morning.

annoyed, I went out to the PUB on the weekend with the beginning of what I thought was my last pouch, smoked up a storm, played pool, all that stuff as a symbolic thing. pissed off

 

Although it's a little pain to have to place two orders, it's not biggy and although canadan vendors can't sell juice with nicotine, they do provide other excellent services and products, and spending local is a good thing to do, isn't it?

For me, I liked playing around with the eGo before my nic juices turned up, in fact, after tasting the tobacco 0nic juice that came with my starter kit I quickly realised that tobacco flavours were not for me and placed an order with a canada site and had my first nic juice in 2-3 days. So, yeah, buying local is a nice thing to do and there's nothing wrong with the quality and service of local vendors.

 

yep that was the idea, I figured it would be a good idea to set up a relationship early on, hopefully getting decent support in the process. but it would have been better if they made it more clear, especially since I called up to confirm that was the case. its even worse than I thought, I didnt realize it was bloody state legislation until today rather than federal, meaning up here its illegal to even possess the stuff? (nic that is) and ive gotta say, to not mention that when I called up asking about it... not terribly impressed with that support.

 

Hi all I have been off the smokes for around a month now. Been looking at the forum for a while now and getting loads of advice, and information. So thought I should join . Although I have quit smoking I seem to now have a new addiction buying mods and other shiny stuff. So not sure its going to be much cheaper for me. Although I am sure it will be better for my health. One month in and I already own 2 nemesis's one kalafan and one vw edition an evic and a ba gua ti.

 

G'day. Great info here so far, I'm slowly gettin my head around the tech stuff. Been smoking and quitting for 20 years so I'm looking forward to getting into this vaping caper. Bought my first e vapour today and am working on placing an order for the real deal soon.

Cheers

 

Hello,

I posted in the forum general before I saw this sticky, herp. Just got my kit, is charging, but I'm off to football training so I will have to leave my first vape till later. And yea I'm gonna unplug before leaving (got a good charge setup in the shed in a tin can).

Enjoy the Perth meet up, as mentioned before I am unlikely to make it but no doubt will have more insight, questions (and juices!) by the next one.

Cheers,
