Hi, I am in AtlantaWelcome to the VU.
Take it at your own pace.
It worked for me and many others.
Where are you located?
Hi, welcome to VU. You may have to ask some specific questions to find what you're wanting, but ask and you'll get good help here. I found it easy to quit smoking by vaping and I was a long time smoker, although I wouldn't say I was a heavy smoker. I vape a lot though. I like it better than smoking. Have you tried vaping? Do you have any vape gear?

welcome to the VU, nice to have you here
It sounds like you are describing what many call a tube mod. There are many kinds. I have a few but I mostly use box mods now. A tank that holds the liquid and the coil that heats the juice and produces the vapor screws on to the top of the tube mod. Again there are many kinds. They are called tanks, glassomizers, clearomizers, etc. The coil in the tank will wear out, get dirty, etc. so you replace them. Some coils can be cleaned and used again. Many are easily rebuilt also if you're handy with things like that.
These will work to help you quit smoking if you really want to. You're just going to have to do some research and get an idea what you want to try. I hate to recommend something to a new person really, but if I was doing so to someone just wanting to try vaping, I'd probably recommend something like an iStick 30 watt and an Aspire Nautilus mini for the tank. Simple but very effective gear for a beginner. There is a multitude of stuff other than that though. I can't really recommend any juice as I don't buy juice. I make all my juice so I don't know who sells decent juice these days.
You ask if liquids are safe. We think so. Many have been vaping for years and are healthier than when they were smoking. I'm not aware of vaping killing anyone yet but I know a few that smoking has killed.
Respond with your questions and someone will gladly help you along.

@yadi79, I didn't know a thing about the ijust2 until I just looked at it, but that would probably work fine for you. Keep us posted on how things go for you.

I haven't really kept up on the tube mod stuff, but that ijust2 would probably be fine. It gets very good reviews from what I saw on it, so those that are using it are liking it. There is a video review of it on the vapenw.com site if you didn't see that. I didn't watch it though. The Aspire CF tube mod also gets great reviews, but I really don't know much about it either. Good luck to you though, and I hope you enjoy it and mostly that it works out for you. Keep us posted.

Welcome and congrats on wanting to quit! The folks here are very helpful and knowledgeable about just about anything and everything. They helped me transition from a cheap pen type to deciding on a full on box mod. I know exactly how you feel about those convenience store cigalikes. It was more a dog and pony show than anything.
What part of Atlanta do you live in? I just moved from East Atlanta. Maybe I could point you in the direction of a good shop
Hey just my 2 cents but id go with the ego mega before the ijust2. The ijust2 has an odd vv/vw set up that automaticly adjusts itself when the battery gets lower. So youll never have a consistent vape/hit. Also I started on the aspire cf/mini and it was never enuff for me was useing 24mg juice and barley cut it. Ps the cheepest/best juice iv found is mechsauce.

Ya id got with the evic vtc from efun.top there selling the kit for 38$ and thats a steal considering people paid 55$ for it two weeks ago and you wont have any need to upgrade anytime soon. Ps if you get a mod with a interchangeable battery go with samsung 25r (green) or my fav the lg hg2.I kinda changed my mind on the tube.. So looks like I'll get the box.. do you recommend any?
Thank you for the advice!!

Well if you didnt like the battery life the thing that effects that the most is the battery. Lol Do you know what kind of battery was in the evic? Im not a big fan of aspire really my first mod was one i think there the iphone of mods (cost to much for the same product) the triton tank is alright just eats juice and the rba deck is way to small for me. Im happy with my subtank mini v2 if I was to upgrade itd be the ud zephyrus. Also I havent seen the 60 istick avil yet only preorder so thats anyones guess really but ill never preorder anything let someone else be the test dumbie. Also like you said at your local shop they tried to sell you something you can buy online for about $40 keep that in mind to.I actually try this today.. The guy told me with battery..aspire tank...$100. but I didn't like this design.. and battery life..
But vape was awesome .. good amount of cloud.. he told me he was running it at 40w...
Any others you recommend?
I like the design of Istick 60w TC temperature control by Eleaf... and Aspire odyssey kit with temp control.. are these any good?
Vaperight atlanta of Cheshire bridge rd is a great shop, vapewares in buford next to the mall of ga, raging vapes in Grayson and loganville. Those are my favorite places around Atlanta. Go talk to them and see what they have in stock. Vaperight should be able to get you what you need though. Hope everything works out and good luck.
Those mods should get you going. I don't really know anything about the Herakles tank, maybe someone using them can give you some feedback on it.
I don't know much about that 30B battery either, but it's an ICR and it appears to be 4.35V instead of the 4.2 we usually use. I don't know what charger you're using but it may not charge a 4.35V to capacity. And it appears to be a 6 amp battery, so be careful with it if you use it at 60W on your iStick.
Enjoy your new stuff.

When i started I started with e-cigs/ cheap generic ego's those never satisfied/helped me when I was trying to quit smoking. I had a friend of mine opened a Vape lounge in April so i've been able to try what a good vape is like, it changed everything! I got to get my "real" first set up recently I got a Cool Fire IV with iClear 30, very simple, easy to understand and use. I went from 2 packs of cigs a day, to five in just day days. I would go to a local shop try some things out, or if you have friends that vape try out the things they have see if you like it. Get your self a good/simple beginner set-up it might change your life!
That is a great start.
Now go to a vape shop and test some juices Find a couple you like and buy small bottles of 12mg strength.
You wanna taper down to 6mg over a couple months.
Im dead set on it now.. I just need to get my stuff..lol
My friends tell me that they all quit.. but when they drink.. they go for a cig... They said they just need the real thing when drinking...
Have you had any problems like that?
Hook them onto motley brew's old fashioned r&r. I swear it's like taking a half a solo cup of Yukon Jack whiskey. Perfect for drinking times.I personally prefer vaping when i'm drinking (chain vaping so much cheaper then chain smoking). haha. I do have a few friends who 'quit' or cut back have problems with smoking cigs again after the smoke/drink.
Haah! This is perfect. Thanks very muchHook them onto motley brew's old fashioned r&r. I swear it's like taking a half a solo cup of Yukon Jack whiskey. Perfect for drinking times.
No problem. It was the first thing I dripped tonight and omg I forgot to turn the watts back down and choked myself. 43 watts was WAY too high.Haah! This is perfect. Thanks very much
