The problem, of course, is that without burning something, you can't get the authentic taste of something burning in your vape -- if you think you have, it's probably because something's gone wrong. What you can get is the smell of unburned tobacco, or even stuff that tastes a bit like pipe...

Doesn't sound stupid to me. I use to keep a pack around and try one every now and then, like I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something and only pretending I was happy with vaping. It doesn't bother me that I did so, because it let me know that 1) Cigarettes don't taste as good as...

You don't say how long you've been vaping, but I get a vague impression you're shopping for your first or maybe second ecig? Please forgive me if I end up underestimating how much you know. I'm a very heavy vaper and have been at it for almost three years, so I'm fairly demanding and that...

Way to go! Sounds like you're off to a running start. What's your favorite flavor so far?

I can go you one better: you'll want the highest-quality chocolate you can get your hands on. Skip the Hershey's bars and go for Green & Black's or some high-cocoa-content stuff from Whole Foods. You're used to smoking it, and now you're only eating it, so it will take longer to kick in and you...

This, this, this, thissy-this-this. The smoker friends I haven't converted yet occasionally ask me "but does it taste like a cigarette?" I've been an ex-smoker long enough now that my urge is always to reply, "No, but why on Earth would I want it to?" Which is neither fair nor nice. It...

Oh, yeah! This is why I kept ODing myself when I started -- I smoked 1.5 PAD of Spirits full-strengths, and figured I'd need the highest-octane juice out there to replace the highest freebase-nicotine cigs on the market. I was right, too... for the first couple of weeks. After that, I figured...

Started with a Volcano (l88b/BLu-type) starter kit I bought for someone else, used a little to break in the atties for them, and then didn't give away after all because oops-I-accidentally-quit-smoking. Moved up to a Modern Vapor Sidesho kit after a couple of weeks, because it was a slight...

A little out of the blue, but has anyone brought up KR808s? I ended up in a conversation a few days ago that brought my attention back to them; I haven't used them in 2+ years, and apparently they've advanced a bit since then. Since you (OP) emphasized wanting simplicity and something smaller...

I picked up two Vivi Mini Novas to use on eGos when I'm cleaning my main gear. They don't really compare to my UFS (a carto tank) or Penelope (a rebuildable tank/atty combo) when the main gear is in good shape, but they're perfectly adequate and I usually end up grabbing the eGo/Nova combo when...

Okay, first things first: go get a glass of water for that headache and drink it while you read this. If you can manage it, have two. I'm sure I'll type enough to last you. ;) The headache/sweating/shaking does sound like it could be too much nicotine, rather than too little. However, if you've...

I have a friend like this. He tried to start vaping with my old Modern Vapor Sideshos (minis/l88bs/Blu-types). He gave them back at the end of the day. A few months later, he tried one of my generic 501s with an LR carto and 30mg tobacco juice, and liked it enough to use it at work (he worked in...

I'm going to fifth or seventh or ninth or whatever some things others have said here: No, you didn't mess up. If it works for you, you did the total opposite of messing up. If it doesn't work for you, but encourages you to move on to something that does, then it's still served its purpose...

In the last three years, I've helped maybe 20 people start vaping. Three of them still smoke. Most of them approached me wanting to know "Does it really work?" They meant, of course, does it really help you quit smoking. Because quitting smoking is about the toughest thing a firmly addicted...

Dessert flavors. OMG dessert flavors. Nothing's going to trick your body into thinking you have carbs to burn that you just don't have, but you can at least trick your tongue. And whatever your favorite dessert is, somebody out there has made it into an e-liquid. It's like the Rule 34 of vaping.

This was key for me. I didn't try to quit smoking at all. I was breaking in a kit I bought for a friend. So at first, it wasn't about denying myself a cigarette; I was just postponing the cigarette until I'd broken in her atomizer for a puff or two... and then I'd get distracted, and not think...

Yeah, you're well on your way to knowing just what you like! *laugh* It's funny -- although the nicotine from ecigs makes its way into your system differently and metabolizes differently, the brain wants that nicotine so badly that most people instinctively teach themselves how to get the most...

I can't speak to the Provari, because I don't have one. However, I can vouch for the GGTS. Performance and longevity, yes, and while it's not adjustable on-the-fly, the different combinations of batteries it will take provide different voltages. The engineering is superb, and the designer keeps...

You're definitely not alone. You're one of the crowd, believe me. Everyone I know who vapes -- and that includes at least a dozen I've converted -- has gone through this. It's even an in-joke among us at this point that new vapers go through distinct phases, and we tease each other about it...

Wow, okay, Modern Vapor just made my week. I went ahead and ordered a new charger (and yes, it looks like the polarity is opposite the 510's) and some cartridges to give to my friend along with my old batteries. I mentioned in the order comments that I was looking for the old-style PCC charger...
