Well it has been about 2 weeks since i started Vaping propper  and it really is going very well. I started by buying disposable e cigs from the supermarket, i have 5 or so different types that i used as well as smoking. Then a chap from my local pub started using a Totally Wicked Tornado that seemed to produce a lot of vapour, and so i sent off an order for a Screwdriver set for myself. When it arrived i soon became of the opinion that with a little flavour adjustment it could replace my smoking habit completely  As yet i still have a Roll up Cigarette if i am Driving, and i dont drive much. All the while here at home tho i have been only Vaping. I have been a smoker since 1970 so for me it is a major change  post edited to comply with forum regulations - http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussions/legal-advisory-and-revised-terms-of-forum-use/

Heeeey  my tornado mega tank arrived one day early with some new flavours, Peanut , Coconut, and Whisky, I didnt realize i have been putting way too much flavour and PG with my mix.  I mixed a new batch with 10 parts Red Label(36mg) 1 part Whisky and 1/2 part PG and it is a real good hit  My tornado Mega Tank conversion is also producing much more vapour than the regular Tank conversion. So my vaping is moving on getting better too, thanks guys for all help with text and videos

well done mate it can't be easy to change a behavior you've had for over 4 decades but if you really want it,it can be done,hopefully you'll be able to switch over that last little bit when you're ready and you feel comfortable  congratulations on making a change for the better.

I can relate. Tried electronic cigs without much luck till Tornado. 20 years worth of Kool's and 10 years worth of Swisher Sweet cigars. Now just the Tornado for 3 weeks.

Well done, I have been on the analogs for 20 years now, and started vaping 8 months ago, but I am still on the analogs as well. Fortunately I am in a situation where the cost means little to me so is not a factor like it is for lots of people, I just wish I could get that same hit first hint in the morning with my tornado than I do with an analog .. Rest of the day it's ok, post edited to comply with forum regulations - http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussions/legal-advisory-and-revised-terms-of-forum-use/

Jules, have you tried a higher nicotine level for that first morning vape? I was like you with the analogs first thing in the morning and then I increased my nic just for the early am.

Welcome, bearcat24. I got hooked on the Tornado by my son in Germany. I have tried the e-cigs and they all ended up in the trash bin. I rolled my own Gaulloises for a very long time and that is some heavy smoking. I use the dual coil XL LR Cartomizers (on sale for $5 for 3) with the 18mg of tobacco juice. That's a very good juice and possible I will switch to Totally Wicked e-Liquids when I start making my own juice. The Cartomizers last me an average of 3 days with good results and i put them aside when the vape/taste starts declining. I have ordered me a hand held steamer for cleaning the cartos and will reort here how that goes when I get it next week. In the car I use the dropping method and 5 drops satisfy my needs. Is possible approx 1 smoke. Momentarily I use 36mg nicotine strength which gives a good vape and throat hit. I am a newbie myself and I read a lot of posts every day. The Veterans of Vape are very helful. Hope you make it and get of the cigs for good. From sunny California....Jurgen

I currently vape throughout the day, and have an analog in the AM or before bed but as of Monday I am going to try and drop them altogether, glad I came across this, might have to buy a liquid with a bit more kick for the mornings!

I mixed this yesterday, 5ml Red Label (36mg), .05ml Hope and .05ml Cherry Cigar. Recipe was way too strong, made me Dizzy  Today i have gone back to 5ml Red Label(36mg) .05ml Whisky and .25ml part PG and its just right for me

I currently tape around 18 or 16 mgs, might step it up to the mid 20s and see how that works, 36mgs sounds like a lot. hahaha.

My 36mg is reduced to about 30mg with the addition of Flavour and PG.  I think I have the balance about right as last night i was up till 2.30 am, Vaping all the while, and it was too much for me really. Same as with ciggys u can over do it

Hi Bearcat  You might want to try low nicotine mixes in the evenings or you'll become an insomniac like any number of us I could name...  I don't need the nicotine in the evenings, but love the vape

Hi Bearcat  You might want to try low nicotine mixes in the evenings or you'll become an insomniac like any number of us I could name...  I don't need the nicotine in the evenings, but love the vape  I know nicotine is an "upper" and by that meaning it makes your heart race and BP raise and such, but I never really connected cigs with not being able to sleep. I always lit one up right before lying in bed, all the while I thought it was helping. Maybe i'll buy some light or no nic juice for before bed time haha!

2 months of Vaping now complete  and it has been a pleasure not a task. Have tried many of TWs products and currently am using a Mega Atomizer with my Screwdriver and 501 converter. My fav liquid at present is Original Red Label 36mg mixed with neat Brandy, 6ml to 1ml

Yes congrats on your 2 months! That's awesome! I've been vaping myself for a little over a month now and love it. I started out on 14mg but I had to go up to 18 because I would kill a cart to fast. My go to flavor is PR's Chocolate and Coconut.
