1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    You posted this in another thread...couldn't answer it properly there because it was inside Tienga's subforum and he doesn't carry the batteries suggested below.

    You should consider either the LG HE2/HE4 or the Samsung 25r. All 3 are excellent batteries with high amp capacity. The Sony VTC4 & VTC5 are also great batteries but it's hard to be sure you're getting genuine ones, especially the VTC5.

    I felt that way in 2010, in fact I only vaped maybe 6-8 months or so, and I just got bored of vaping. The battery situation was frustrating, the cartomizers were frustrating, really I slowed down in the beginning and just eventually was vaping very little and dropped it very easily.

    After that in 3 years I didn't smoke more than possibly a handful of cigarettes just from random times I caved in, but I was hardly a smoker, I never bought a pack in 3 years.

    Then I came to Thailand, and the whole price of cigarettes wasn't a reason not to smoke (although the rising prices of cigarettes was one of many reasons I quit smoking), and I slowly fell back into smoking. Not that I think it is that easy to do, and I don't think vaping is necessary to not smoke.

    I think I would just plan better next time, I definitely wouldn't get rid of all my vaping gear next time. I would keep stuff around so instead of getting back into smoking, I'd hopefully get back into vaping instead.

    I wouldnt be able to stop myself from having a pack of cigarettes with my beer. It just goes too well together. That was the reason I started vaping but instead of a once a week as with cigarettes its now 7 days a week. I cant complain though =)

    Well, if I stopped vaping and was having a few beers and fancy a cigarette I'm sure I would just have a vape instead. I certainly wouldn't have a cigarette just because I stopped vaping.

    BTW I have no intention to stop vaping anytime soon.

    I just spent 10 minutes next to a japanese guy who light up 3 cigarettes consecutively. Results, I smell like crap and I can't get the smell out of my shirts. I did not remember it bothers me that much before, this thing stinks !!!!

    Today is my 10th day of vaping. The last 5 days without a single cigarette - and the only time I miss them for a minute is when I get my first coffee in the morning (didn't went out for a drink yet... might be harder). My body is changing to the better already. I think I'll stick to it.
    About the costs: I don't think I'll save something compared to smoking for a long time. Would have been a nice bonus but health is the main reason. Actually, I'm vaping about 8 to 10ml with 18 nicotine per day - not shure but sounds like a lot.
    Cheers

    It does get easier. Personally I think nicotine is only part of the addiction so I think there are still some withdrawals although nothing terrible.

    I'm the same with costs, it's cheap to smoke here. But with the amounts, I'm not really sure that it's a lot. It really depends, were you a heavy smoker? Most people here are on low amounts of nicotine, but I think the nicotine absorption may vary depending on how you vape, so it's not that clear cut. A lot of people start out higher and lower the nicotine over time. You can always try to lower your nicotine, but I would continue with it the way it is until you are without cigarettes for a while.

    Your juice consumption should be the least of your worries. The top priorities are :

    1. Stay off cigs
    2. Have batteries
    3. Stay off cigs

    Everything else will ease down, your nic level, you craving for cig, probably not your expenses though but some here are doing a great job at following a budget (I am not one of them).

    Hi Moog, I'm a noob here and just getting into vaping. I have a cig-a-like and need to move up to something bigger. We must have kicked off at the same time, but I stopped the cigs 10 days ago, not been easy I must admit, I was on 60 a day and been smoking for best part of 40 years

    Is there a shop on Samui? I'm sometimes on the island, that would be good news.

    @Moog

    It would be nice if there was, but I haven't found one yet.

    I had this little cig-a-like for my trips back and forth to the middle east.

    I have got something ordered from outside Thailand, but not sure it'll get here after reading a few posts here LOL
