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!

    ...so, now I am also here... - Hi!
    (Sorry for my bad English - I am German....)

    Yes I win - I win something!
    I get a starter kid from Siam Diesel for free! - Thanks to him again,

    Now I make my first experience
    First of all I was nervous when I pack out the vappers.
    I cannot find the atomic - base. But a friend, he is also here in the forum can help me - and by other things... .

    I like to smoke - a very lot.. .
    With my natural tobacco from here Thailand it is not as bad as the filter cigaretts.
    There are no chemicals inside - only those for growing up the tobacco plants.
    (You get no information what mixture of chemicals the producers put in.)

    But smoking let me look old - I by myself don´t take care of it - and the body condition are down - but for what I must make sporting? Sitting here in the shadow is like sitting in an sauna.... - it is not good.

    The first tank yesterday I fill up with a peppermint juice.
    It smells... - it works... .
    This afternoon on the open - mouth side there are fluid - juice come out and the part what you can see obove was filled up
    I put this vaper away and vape with the second.

    But after an hour like this juice comes also out of the A.-base....
    Now I am not shure.
    Maybe this is from the A. -head?
    Siam Diesel describes this as "low resistance"

    Is it possible that after one day, after one filling up with juice from the tank the A, -head is broken? (Yes, the first tank was nearly empty)

    How to clean the first vaper? And if the juice had gone to the battery?

    Kein Problem binturong. Alle fragen werden schneller oder langsamer beantwortet. Ich war selber auf 2 Päckchen am Tag Raucher und bin jetzt 2 Monate Raucher frei.
    Nicht vergessen das der Wechsel zu e cigaretten am Anfang schwierig ist. Aber nach einer Weile wird es besser.

    Wenn es geht versuche unter vapers zu sein und von Raucher etwas entfernt zu bleiben.

    Hi Binturong. Welcome to the Forum. As stefan already mentioned, some questions are answered faster or slower sometimes. Whish i could give you some help on your questions though but i am not sure which device you are talking about. I recall SD give away a ego style battery but could you please post a picture of the verdampfer so we could see what you are having trouble with? I am German myself but writing in english since most of the members would not be able to assist in our language.

    Sometimes it's good to know if you go onto a forum that is only in english that there are also some in your own language. So you are not alone with having a little trouble in language. But yes, happy vaping and a warm welcome.

    I sent him an eGo-C kit as shown here: http://www.thailandvapers.com/thailand-pay-it-forward-and-giveaways/7466-free-ovale-starter-kit-beginning-vaper.html#post36117

    Hi Binturong, welcome! It sounds like the plastic cartridges are leaking...they did that on me, too. I would suggest that you try one of the normal resistance atomizers (there are 3 in the kit). I had better luck with these...the draw is not quite as open as the low resistance atomizers but they didn't leak as much. As for cleaning any leakage, I used to pull the e-juice cartridge out of the atomizer cone every couple of hours and swab out the barrel with a tissue.

    To completely eliminate the problem, I'd suggest that you pick up a couple of inexpensive tanks...Micky is out of my favorite, the Aspire ET-S BDC, but Bick (E-Cigarette Siam) at ecigthailand is showing them in stock for Bt 250/each. They're very good...glass, not plastic, with a 2.4 ml (more like 3 ml) capacity. Micky does have the Aspire Mini Vivi Nova-S tank (also glass, not plastic) in stock for the same price: http://www.thailandvapers.com/micky-s-atomizers-cartomizers-and-tanks/4171-aspire-bdc-clearomizer.html

    I don't think the head is broken...most likely, the cartridge is leaking from the opening in the bottom where the atomizer is inserted. You could also try using one of the soft plastic (white) end caps instead of the hard plastic end cap for the cartridge. Or try another cartridge...sometimes the manufacturing tolerances vary slightly from box to box.

    If you unscrew the atomizer base/atomizer cone off the battery, you will be able to completely take apart the top half and clean off the juice...all parts are washable except for the atomizer head. You can use a tissue to clean the connection at the top of the battery if any juice has gotten in there.

    These kind of cartridge typ of thanks are good for a first experience but not much more. Go with the recommendation from SD and if you decided to keep on vaping you should get some cleromizer thanks which will enhance the whole vaping experience first. Makes me happy to see you have such a good guide with SD.

    Maybe your vaping style is to blame?
    My first device was an eCom and because it's output is a bit girly i was sucking on it way too hard and way too often. filling the tank anywhere over half way would result in gurgling until i changed my style, which I did and then 48 hours after purchasing the eCom I purchased an eVic Supreme which enabled me to receive a better hit without the need of trying to suck it inside out.

    I contacted Bick and he's out of the Aspire ET-S, too. The quickest short-term solution is to pick up a tank from Micky or Big...besides the Aspire Mini Vivi Nova-S (which will look good on top of the slim eGo battery and for which I have spare coils that I can send you), they have KangerTech tanks in stock...but they never did it for me and I've gotten rid of all mine.

    Good point! With the eGO, you've got to vape it slowly...pull the vapor into your mouth and then inhale into your lungs...it does take a little practice. I was never able to do direct lung inhales with the eGo set-up.

    Hoh hoh hoh....!
    "One" problem - many good solutions. :thank you:
    Yes I started with replacing the original caps to the soft plastic (white) end caps. But also then fluid - juice come out... .

    After this I change the "old" (one day!) to the normal resistance atomizers. Since this it looks good - for now.... .

    You write that I can change from this to this... .
    At this time I know nothing about changeable equipments.
    First of all I should get fun with the vaper.

    Another problem is that inside my mouth the mucous membranes are dry...(!):don't like:
    Only because of the mint flavours?

    But now... .
    I smoke like I smoke.
    I smoke a lot if I am nervous.
    I smoke a lot if I am relaxed
    because.... I like it. - Stupid! - I know.... . :cigarette:

    With the eGO, yes I am surprised that I can let the smoke of the vaper deep in my lung. Before near a year when I can test an other vaper I cannot do it like now. - Other vaper or other juice... .

    BUT you Siam Diesel did forget something... .!!!
    You not put in your "gift" the most important thing!!!!

    The nicotin! :cry:
    - You think I smoke only because of fun? :very good:
    (Some juices with it I have here by me - from a friend.)


    Something else.
    As we are the majority here inside we can change to the German language... . :no trust:

    Hi Stefan and yes don't worry about the language.
    Although many of us are english we welcome all foreigners from Germany USA and many other countries.
    Our customs might be different, but we are all Vaping and that is the good thing

    Video link didn't work on my iPad so I fiddled with it a bit...

    Yes FL, we're all very grateful for the understanding & tolerance shown by the Brits to those of us who who weren't fortunate enough to have been brought up speaking the Queen's English...perhaps the Yanks and the Aussies most of all!

    Glad to hear that this worked!

    I agree that vaping should be fun while keeping you off the ciggies. And the vaping vocabulary is a bit different but you'll pick it up quickly. There's a link in this thread to a vaping glossary that should help out: Electronic cigarette glossary. It is in English but I'm sure there will be something similar on the German vaping websites.

    Once you make the commitment to vaping, you'll want to change from the plastic cartridges that you're using now to a tank (also called a clearomizer/glassomizer). It replaces the complete top portion of your current system and screws directly to the battery (bottom portion). It's more convenient (and fun).

    Vaping does dry out your mouth...all flavors do this but maybe a bit more with menthol & mint. I keep a glass of water handy to combat this. In fact, it's recommended that you increase your intake of water when you vape.

    Once vaping takes hold of you, you'll wonder how you ever could smoke. It took me a few days of vaping and smoking before I stopped the ciggies completely.

    Vaping gear has come a long way in the last year and will only continue to improve.

    All the juices I sent are supposed to have 16mg of nicotine (high strength). I tried some of them and they worked for me. Trash (or give away) those that don't do it for you.

    If it helps, by all means feel free to post in German. Anbessa, Stefan, Oil and others on here will be able to assist...I'll have to rely on Google Translate though.
