If there was 1 suggestion you could give to a new vaper...

This is pretty much the main advice you need as a new vaper. Its better to jump into it headfirst in terms of cost. A high initial investment, but a much cheaper road. Taking baby steps and easing into vaping means you'll be spending more and more on new equipment every time you want to upgrade.

To make it even more cost effective, building your own coils makes it even more cheap. And getting into the coil building and learning the tricks of the trade are actually the things that will help most in quitting smoking. Break an old habit with a new one.

 

I would recommend to always stay hydrated when vaping. When I first started, I made the mistake of constantly vaping without much water intake. That only gave me a dry throat and made my lungs sore.

 

My advice would be - "Stick with your decision, give it at least 4 weeks", most of the ex smokers tend to relapse because they believe they already overcame it when it fact, they simply got tricked by their brain's need of nicotine once again. It's better to give it at least 4 weeks no matter what, before you even think about lighting one again, hopefully, after 4 full weeks, your brain will be freed of the poisonous wish.

 

From me, it would be enjoy it as you can, because once the juice runs out, there is no way back.

 

From my personal experience I would say take it easy. Don't go puffing on it all day, and night. It can get pretty habit forming. Since it's vapor you might find yourself sitting on the couch, and inhaling it in while you're watching shows or at other random times. Just make it something you do once in a while.

 

Keep it simple with your setup. Don't get crazy with all the accessories and million different juices. Another big one is being careful about the nicotine content of some juices. Start at the low end and then work your way up if it isn't enough for you.

 

This is another big issue for first timers. They think it will be similar to smoking cigarettes and it is just a whole different thing. They end up going straight back to cigarettes. You just have to stick with it and eventually it will become normal for you to take hits off a device instead of a paper cigarette.

 

I forgot about that initial adjustment period. You will definitely get the lack of taste of some flavors if you are a long time smoker. Particularly if you have been smoking Marlboro reds for years.

Also, don't be one of "those guys" vaping excessively in a public place giving "vapers" a bad/worse reputation.

 

First. Don't get intimidated for the different experience it offers compared to regular cigars. Vape first in the comfort, and the when yo get used to it you can start vaping outside. Also, if it does apply, start adjusting Voltage or wattage in the lowest setting for starters and then experiment with discreet value increases.

 

Take everything into moderation. Do not overdo it, and take breaks once in a while. Make sure you do not bother other people with your vaping, and make sure to be respectful of other people's opinion when they give you one for vaping. It is a new trend, and people are still getting used to them.

 

Take your time, and experiment as many different tanks and mods as you can before choosing the right one. You may be surprised and fall in love with the one you have always wanted.
