Is Transition To Ecig Possible This Way?

I have had problem like breaking the rule of vaping indoor,need to lurk around here to start vaping outdoor with support.Anyway I enjoy vaping more then smoking.Vaping or smoking helps lift my depression.I was on cigarette for 6 month at a late age before transiting to ecig  

I have been using SmokelessImage 950mAH for 8 years and now they've closed. I ask your help in finding a similar one. The market has changed so much since then.

I liked this ecig (see image) because it had re-fillable cartridges. I liked the size and it was a passthrough. I don't care about a lot of vapor. I tried clear cartomizers but they use too much oil, too much vapor, too strong and coughed from them.

I like cartridges because they seem to soften the hit. The ones from Smokeless Image were half the price of the ones I've found since. They sold 5 for $5.95. Ones I've found are 5 for $9.95-$10.95. Are there other choices to filter besides cartridges and cartomizers?

Can you recommend an ecig that could replace? I need a passthrough system. Any suggestions about changing the system based on above would be appreciated. I am not an ecig fanatic by any means. I stopped smoking using them. Thanks!  

Hi guys,

I am from Jakarta, Indonesia. Home of the 2nd largest smokers in the world.
Smoking is enjoyed by many under age children here. Many of them started smoking in the 6th grade.

You can watch the documentary of smoking in Indonesia here (by Vice News)


I have a couple of friends working in the media that says their boss are scared not to make positive news on ecig because it will make the tobacco company will not advertise on them anymore.

Right now, the tobacco giant is pushing hard on ecig. We can see all the negative news of ecig spreading in EVERY MEDIA NEWS in the country, on the newspaper, magazine, television, radio. The government even make an official public service advertisement on how bad ecig is and aired them everywhere.

The tobacco giant controls the media with their money. Tobacco advertising is still permittable in all media type here in Indonesia.

We have seen a lot of drop in ecig user in Indonesia since that negative movement. Many online/offline vape store here goes bankrupt because many people believe what the government are saying.

So right now, it comes to "The government want to ban ecig anytime soon", says all the media.

We would like to ask help from fellow friends here by signing the petition in change.org as below:
Petition · Menteri Perdagangan Rachmat Gobel: Menghapus atau Membatalkan Larangan Rokok Elektrik/Vaporizer · Change.org

Please dont write the comment in English though, we just need the supporters numbers to increase so we can bring this forward to the government.

Thank you

Hiya!

I'm all new to vaping and I'm about to buy my very first ecig. I've been smoking normal cigarettes for the past 9 years, and I'm honestly a bit confused about the whole thing. I know I want MTL, so it feels like "the real deal", but from there on, I'm lost.

I've been looking at the Joytech AIO 1500 MaH or the one called "Probox", but I'm not sure if that's a good choice? I don't want anything too expensive to being with, I can always buy something more expensive later on.

Second question, is if I've been smoking 10-20 cigarettes, would I go for 12 or 18mg of nicotine? I know that I won't just want to take one drag and be done, so would it be better to go lower?

I hope someone will take their time to help someone all new to all this

Kindest regards  

Just found this interesting...

Got it in an email from them, even more interesting....

This past week marks 5 years since I smoked a cigarette. It honestly doesn't seem that long, it seems like yesterday I was huddled out in the cold at work with the smokers. I had been a smoker for 28 years.

Unlike many I see posting here, I cannot say vaping helped me quit. I quit cold turkey, and never tried an ecig until about a year after I quit smoking. At that point I was still doing well as a non-smoker, I didn't physically crave smoking, but I missed the 28 year habit of lighting up, having something to fiddle with, and just the relaxing feeling of the inhale/exhale. I had been eating a lot more to make up for the void, and having been underweight all my life I started packing on pounds (too many!). I sorely needed a non-food substitute for the comfort I was missing, but wasn't about to go back to smoking.

I tried a junky convenience store ecig after that first year, and thought "if this was what they were like than forget it". I continued on not smoking, but still missing the habit. About two years after that I began seeing the new advanced products coming out, and did a lot of research. I bought my first starter kit in 2013, and slowly advanced up to bigger and better gear.

People ask why would start vaping after I had already kicked the cigarette habit, and I say, "Why not?". Other than nicotine I'm not getting any of the negative things I got with cigarettes. And in my opinion, there's really nothing wrong with a little nicotine. Nicotine is not what was killing me, it was the smoke that was delivering the nicotine that was killing me.

So I'm 5 years smoke free, I no longer hack in the mornings, my chest never hurts and my clothes, car and hair don't stink anymore.
I have no intentions on giving up vaping, as it has no negative impact on my life, and i enjoy it, so why stop?

I have since gotten my son, my step-son, and his wife to all trade vaping for smoking, so bonus points for saving all their lives too!  

if there is no nicotine, is ecig harmless! right?

but actually that's a definitely wrong info and concept.

e-liquid made by Vegetable glycerin , Propylene glycol , flavor , (nicotine)

so it's not vapor!

you should remind this and also one of ecig's prorperty is absorbing water in your throat thus

u need to drink sufficient water to protect throat.

then if you vape around people, the e-cig smoke can harm other people.

so vapers need to beware these fact well.  

I was introduced to it one day in the line at Dollar General. I saw a Krave It Ecig for 7 dollars and thought why not? IT didn't taste good at all but it piqued my curiousity and I started researching.

I have went through all the steps and now I can say I have not had a cigarette for almost 3 years and I make my own juice and wrap my own coils. I actually still have that Krave it Ecig and plan to keep it as a reminder.  

Hey Sonny do you remember when?.

Your very first ecig was a Cig Look alike and it was a race to get the battery recharged before you were done vaping the other.
Everyone was trying Fluval as a wick
Atomizer and cartridge came separately and you stuck a straw down the side for better wicking
Spending $50.00 for an E-Cigar that would only last 2 weeks.
Buying a Prodigy and the owner telling you that you were the only one having problems.
Short circuiting a battery with change in your pocket. Ouch
Buying a Ecig without a button and having the wind from your Car Window setting it off.
Buying a Provari because it was the first reliable VV Unit.
Buying a Volcano like unit, opening your Vivi Nova and instead of unscrewing the cap, you took it apart flooding your unit. [Fluid leaked through the holes] then when you fired it up. The whole APV started to smoke!

Let's take a walk down memory lane, share your experiences.  

If nicotine did not exist in any form of ecig product, would the government be looking to tax it all?

When I do not have nicotine in my body I become restless, irritable and generally unglued physically and emotionally until I put nicotine in my body.

I use 3mg nic but vape at least 21mg of nic per day....at least and probably more.

Many say nicotine by itself is not addictive. Through 40 plus years of using it I strongly disagree.

The vapors cause has a double edge to it. The government will eventually tax all ecig products but nicotine is the very reason the government can justify coming into the vape shops and tax to begin with
