Hi everyone,

I'm new to vaping (about 2 weeks). I haven't smoked cigs since starting to vape and I have to say I do enjoy vaping. My wife also quit smoking at the same time and she is also vaping but she's not as far gone as I am. She jokingly says I've turned it into a hobby and I have to agree.

Like most early on (I assume) I have already picked up several devices including a Smok Novo 2, a Orion DNA Go, a Aegis Solo and lastly an Aegis X. My wife has already claimed the Novo and the DNA Go as her own. I am really enjoying both Aegis' and have put on several different tanks and I've bought tons of different juices.

I just wanted to stop by and say hi and to thank everyone for all the info you share at VU. It really has helped this new guy.

Thanks again!

Welcome to the Forum

I'm in Central Florida


I learned a trick to juice after wasting tons of money.

I'll share that with you right away so you can start saving.

When you open a new bottle of eliquid use all of it before you open a different one.

When I started vaping I had 30 bottles of eliquid open and was just putting whatever I felt like at the time in the tank and next thing you know I was throwing away 25 half full bottles of eliquid.

The second the seal is broken on the bottle the nicotine hit's oxygen and starts degrading.
For many eliquid this is a good thing at first because it's the steeping process in which the flavor improves.

Some eliquids go downhill fast once you open them and some don't.

When they go bad the liquid gets very dark in color, the flavor turns horrible, and it gunks up/burns out coils faster.
I've found that as long as I don't open the bottle until I'm ready to vape all of it then the eliquid never gets the chance to turn bad.

After opened it will last for a couple months no matter what.

I've had opened eliquid go bad after two months and I've had opened eliquid that is still good after two years.

There are a lot of factors involved in how long an opened bottle of eliquid lasts.
Brand/types of flavorings, quality of ingredients, how much/what type of sweetener and nicotine, etc...
