Flavour recommendations please

[Shadowdr]

I think that the RY4 will keep you on the path but 24 may not be enough. I must have 30 or I will just wear myself out filling carts, it has become my main vape now. I smoked Swisher Sweet regular ciggs for several years after moving up from other harsh brands. Hilton is the most like an anlog for me but the after vapors are a deal breaker, enough to make a dog run and hide after smelling. I also like caramel and vanilla and mix these as well.

You may want to look into a Nickostick boxmod in case anything happens to your Jantystick. Very cheap to make and a pleasure to vape from. What is amazing is after about thirty days my lungs felt clear as if 35 years of smoking just faded away. No more coughing and wheazing at all, and I could run a good distance if I had to.

Agreed riche, the Janty (Twisp) Stick runs very hot and dries out a cart in no time. It produces a huge head of steam for about half an hour then dwindles fast. I have to top up my cart with 6 to 7 drops 4 to 5 times a day, not economical. Also have to clean the atty often to get rid of the burnt taste. I took it with on a trip that lasted an unexpected 5 hours yesterday and although the battery lasted fine, I struggled to get much vapour from it for the last 3 hours, cart was out of fuel. I chain smoked 3 analogs when I got home. You need to break away from Twisp though, they're utterly useless and incredibly expensive. You've got the magic Stick, now get your liquids and support elsewhere.

Made enquiries about RY4 today and couldn't find any, seems it's not popular in SA. Found a great dealer though, just a couple of km's away with a good range and great prices. He's waiting for a big import delivery and then I'll be able to set myself up better, with chargers, juice etc., he reckons he can order some RY4 for me as well. He had some but gave it away because nobody was buying it. I'm going to visit him Friday and test all his sample juices. Trouble is he's a non-smoker, non-vaper and can't recommend because he doesn't know what the stuff tastes like.

Doug ... yes ...You've got the magic Stick, now get your liquids and support elsewhere.

I have moved from Twisp ... they suck - (when I should be)

I would like to make my own cappucino liquid, but I don't know where to get the flavored drops that are water soluble. I ordered before from LorAnn's but I didn't see anything for that flavor on the site that says it's water soluble. I did see that flavor but it was under the oils for the Chocolate flavorings, is that the same thing? Also looking to find carmel, cream and vanilla flavorings. Looking to get them all from one place if possible, and to get the best possible flavored drops. Does anyone have suggestions? Please help a vapette out!!

Shadowdr, you using 30mg strength? Is my assumption on the strength of 24mg correct, or is it safe to go higher e.g. 36mg available in SA. At what point does the liquid's Nicotene strength become iffy/crazy/dangerous?

It seems to be different for everyone, I like the 30 mg strength because it gives me enough so that I can vape a while and put it down without still craving nic. I usually get the 36 and add a ml of VG for every five that I mix. I also got some 60 mg unflavored that I mix and add flavor to as well. If you get dizzy or get a headache it is a little to high strength, but if you constantly need to vape then you may need an increase.

I had a high tolerance because of the brand I smoked, it might well be to much for many but I can vape less then I smoked breaking the habit of assocciation with activities where I would always light up. Also if you find that you cough a lot while vaping, you may need to cut back a little on the nic. I have read here that many vape 48, but it is too much for me as is straight 36. You will find your own sweet spot sooner then you think.

In my experience, marlboro juice is one of the sweeter tobacco based juices. This is what I taste in the more popular and available tobacco based flavors - this will be 'tobacco base plus x':

Kent - vanilla
Hilton and Camel - chocolate
Virginia - cherry or almond
Flue Cured - nut and almond/cherry
555 - nutty/peanutty
RY4 - smokey caramel cream
Marlboro - vanilla and/or coconut
Newport - menthol
Tobacco aka TAB - straight tobacco
Lucky Strike and Parliament - cinnamon (Parl. is sweeter)
Cuban - cigar

I find fruit flavors to be fairly accurate with the exception of cherry which can be all over the place. Licorice, I find faint, whereas 'fennel' is strong licorice/anise. Coconut by itself is rather good. Menthol can be a double mint or just a pepper mint or a straight menthol crystal - ie. strong.

Without knowing what stores are the easiest available for you it's hard to direct much past those hints.

This is great.

Hey Doug …
Your flavor problem could be the unit you smoke (stick)…
Have you tried the Janty 510 or Dura (Twisp)
These units seem much cheaper to run – and seems to feel and taste more like an Analogue cig …
Try one – if you have a Twisp kiosk near you – or maybe that non smoker supplier can get you one.

Anyway – the 510 seems to work better for me – with flavors and not needing to light up a-cigs at all anymore.
As I say I used a Stick for 2-3 weeks – and found it ok … but still had occasional a-cig. Also used tons of e-liquid.
I keep and use the stick when I want a lighter smoke…

Ok, the following rcommendations have peaked my interest:

Primary: RY4; Mild7; 555: Kent & Cola

Secondary: Dunhill; B&H; Virginia; Menthol; Red Bull

Still curious about French Pipe, will try if I can find.

Missed anything essential?
