lol thanks.. idk how i missed the big starter kit section. i guess ego twist for me. yea the blu thing is garbage. hopefully this thing kills my horrible habbit.

I think the key is finding a juice that you really like. Once you do force yourself to use it without cigs for a few days or a week if you can. After that cigs will taste like absolute dog shit to you.

That's how it worked for me anyway. I can't even be around cigarette smoke anymore or I literally feel like I'm going to puke.

I dont care for the look of the atomic or the panzer but i definitely do want to throw a twisted 28 gauge wrap on one and try it one of my DNA 30 devices at 30 watts

Just finished off another round of selling off some juices that I don't use anymore and new ones I bought but didn't like.

My "core" is down to:

5pawns - Gambit
Alien Vision - Gorilla Juice
Good Life Vapor - Deadly Sin

These three juices are out of this planet good.

Looking to add one or two more.

--------

Yesterday I went to the mall with my girl and we're walking in and she's like "Do you want your vape, its in the car?" I said, Nah, we won't be long. It was an MVP an an iClear30B.

In the mall I stepped outside to get some fresh air and saw a guy smoking an MVP with an iClear30 on it. Sucks, we could of had a real bro moment and good convo.

HA! I really thought you were going to say when you went back to your car it wasn't there anymore....good ending.

I found an old pack of smokes in a duffle bag and took them to work. I still enjoy a smoke every now and again but I smoked it over the course of the week and my throat and lungs feel like shit now. Plus I got shit from fellow vapers at work.

This is strange to me.

When I smoked I was always 8-10 ciggs a day. My best friend has always been a 1-2 smokes a day (which I never ever understood.) I got him vaping last year but he still goes back to 1 every other day or so. I don't get it.

I haven't had a stinky in 14 months and the thought of having that taste in my mouth again really turns me off. They still smell good to me, oh boy do they. When I walk past someone who is smoking the smell is so delicious. But the throat taste is whats so off-putting.

That doesn't bother you? How's the "throat hit" compared so vapor?

I used to be a pack a day smoker. For around 15 years I would smoke ~20 per day, sometimes more if I was drinking heavily, so it's a little strange to me too. I still had my ecig with me and would just grab a smoke out of my car every once in a while. The mornings this whole week my throat and sinuses hurt I assume because of the smokes.

I don't really know how to compare the "throat hit." Cigs feel normal to me, but so does vaping. They seem about on par. Cigs leave an aftertaste for a long time though.

 

[Pete Rock]

I'll consider myself lucky, whenever I get a second hand inhale or someones clothes really reek like cigarettes my stomach immediately flips over and I get a splitting headache right between my eyes in my forehead.

Even people who reek like alternative smoke really bother me to a certain extent now, every time I'm at a concert and I get too close to people lighting up it is just kind of overwhelmingly oppressive to be around something that's smoldering.

 

[EsotericManiac]

Yea, i can't imagine having a smoke again after not smoking for 6 months. I wouldn't enjoy the smell or the taste.

The juices I enjoy on a regular basis are diametrically opposed to the flavor and feeling id get from a real cigarette. then again, towards the end I really didn't want to smoke anymore. Finding a safer alternative that worked for me was just the beginning of the end

If i couldn't vape for whatever reason I definitely wouldnt be going back

Right now I'm vaping Graham Cracker from Mount Baker Vapor. Surprisingly tasty!

 

[LowEndTorque]

I take back my positive comments about the iClear 30B. A couple of weeks in and lots of gurgling and burnt taste problems. Waiting for Nautilus to arrive.

I haven't had any gurgling. When I do get some burnt taste I just cover up the air holes and suck in and that seems to fix it.

But yeah, performance on this thing is "acceptable" for the price, but nothing special.

I really wanna try the Nautilus but can't stomach the price right now. Maybe next month.

OK GAF after messing with the horrid blu packs it's time to upgrade. I went with option 2, and should have this week. Any suggestions for what the best sampler packs are for liquid?

Congrats on taking the step.

Juices companies are popping up all over and taste is subjective.

Here is a list of a bunch of juices that this (very popular) YouTube reviewer likes. Pick a vendor on there that is listed multiple times and that will be a good indication of their quality. Also take note that this person does not particularly like tobacco flavors. So search elsewhere for tobacco recommendations.

If you go to a vape shop, they generally have all their flavors ready for you to try out to see what you like before you buy.

Very much recommending this option, it is crucial for new vapers and helps get over a lot of the initial overwhelming confusion while also supporting a local business.

 

[roflwaffles]

Yup, I thought I'd be a coffee/tobacco flavor type of guy but I don't like those flavors much at all in my vape. Now my go-to juices are fruits + menthol and fruits+vanilla custard.

very much so. currently have around 11 different juices in my stash, only really enjoy about 4 of them. most of them ordered online without trying them first. im still experimenting and my personal tastes are definitely narrowing down to a select few.

im finding the same for me personally. fruits+menthol and custards are at the top of my list right now. im still looking a good coconut flavor. one of my local shops has a Philippine mango (that is available with menthol) that is incredibly good. taste just like biting into a fresh mango. its from vape chemist and is called PimP.

By custard you mean a nice thick vanilla right?

If so, I could definitely do something fruity with that. What do you recommend?

 

[endre]

Maybe someone from here can help me.

I want to make the switch to e-cigs. I live in Austria and I am planning to go to Klagenfurt on the weekend. I found a store there on the internet in one of the shoping centers.

I do not want to spend more than 50 EUR. I am a smoker, so obviously I need something with nicotine for starters.

Could someone tell me the key things to mind for? What should I buy? A starter pack recommendation would be even better (something available in Europe).

I smoke "weaker" cigs but I smoke a lot. Two years ago I managed to give it up for a year, but then I started again. If possible I want to use e-cigs only and gradually lower and finally lose my nicotine addiction.

 

[roflwaffles]

Like a thick creamy vanilla. I like Space Jam's Starship1 and Cuttwood's Unicorn Milk quite a lot. I like Mother's Milk too but I barely get any strawberry from it, Unicorn Milk has the same profile but has more of a strawberry kick.


Have you guys tried Nicoticket? I went on ECF and they hyped it up alot but I'm not really feeling the Betelguese and Custard's Last Stand juices that I bought. Kent, the guy who makes them, is an upstanding guy and has great customer service, I'm just not really enjoying the juices as much as I thought I would.

[Thezez]

Hey all, I'm joining the digital crew! I live in New Zealand where ecigs are hard to come by, so I've been stuck using these crappy disposable ones. Today I managed to track down a store that sells some decent ones and settled on an iGo 4 with some red bull and coffee flavoured liquid.

Man, the difference between the disposable ones and this is insane, I'm stoked with how good this thing is. I expect I'll get some weird looks when I use it, like I said, these things are foreign in New Zealand, I think I've only seen one other person using one in the last year. Our government seems to be unhappy with them as well.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Picked up a really cheap blueberry juice from a local shop today. Holy fuck... it tastes like piss. I don't just mean bad, I mean it literally tastes like piss. Ruined a Kanger head too. The brand is Air Pure and they're apparently quite popular in UK bargain shops. Avoid like the plague.

Yeah. I did that once here. Got a bottle of cherry Dr. Pepper juice that was absolutely horrible. I mean.....jesus

It's frustrating because there's probably a lot of people who rely on stores and don't buy juice online, and they'll be instantly put off.

Yay, my glass tank arrived, now I can try all the tank crackers I bought before I knew they were tank crackers! I'll just pretend I was letting the liquids steep. Yah.

Waiting for my order of Oak Barrel Cider from ePipeMods.

Not sure if its a tank-cracker but it sounds like it. I might drip it until my Nautilus arrives in a few days.

i know you didnt ask me, but heres mine.

24g 5 wraps on a 1/8th drill bit. comes out to 0.2ohms. rda is a patriot clone and its worth mentioning that the wire is wrapped around the center screw post, not going through the post.

30

well, its a 1100 mah battery compared to a 1200 mah lipo. battery life is similar. not great at 30 watts but I only do that on occasion.

dont care for the look of the 18650 tube on the ZNA so i may never get one

 

[Pete Rock]

Based on my experience with the ProVari/Z-Atty I probably would have bought one right away if the entire design wasn't completely fucked up by switching to anything other than an 18490. The sidecar idea and switch placement are both excellent though.

some people like it. i'm sure if it wasnt $40 and i had one for a bit i might do it for the battery life, but now i just take an extra one with me to work and its not a big deal.

if i only dripped at 30 watts this might be a different story

i do have a DNA board coming. Probably going to build a dual 18650 mod. that should be nice
