$140 budget, thinking about just getting all juices

[heinz]

hi its me xbox boy, so i finally have sold my child.
i have decided that i wanna spend all the money i got from this on ecig juices.
OH BY THE WAY
i was able to scrounge up $14 and I went to my LOCAL smoke shop like you guys said, and bought a 7ml bottle of Vanilla from NeverLightAgain, 100%VG. it costed $12.99 so I gave the guy $13 for a 7ml bottle of Vanilla max hit.

anyways, I went to freedomsmokeusa.com and saw they have some good stuff. I used to get all my juices from Viking Vapors.

I'm allergic to pg, been hiccuping and sneezing and snotty nosed so I guess i'm done with pg.

anyways, i'll be smoking regular cigarettes for now, until my shipment arrives. Just giving you guys a heads up that I mixed parliament light, marlboro, and a marlboro light this morning in a pipe and smoked it and it felt so good.
so it's pretty bad at this point, of how long this is going to take cus it probably would mean cigarettes on the weekend too which is fine by me as long as I will b able to get 30/ml+ bottles in the mail by monday.
wish me luck guys

btw i was thinking bout upgrading my ecig to the tank ones, but i have 3 cartomizers tat are fresh 1.5 ohm dual coil, and i got a manual battery so im guessing i rather spend my money on strictly juices rather than trying to upgrade my cig to a provari which is what i kinda want...

I think I would hold off on spending all of your money at once.

First, because you are new your tastes are still changing. You don't know what you like yet or even what strength. Pinpoint a flavor you think you might be interested in (tobacco, vanilla, cookie, etc), do a search in the review section and see what long time vapors are vaping. Not to say older members know more about juice but new members are still experimenting. You may love a juice this week and next week hate it.

Get a juice that's pretty good- doesn't have to be great- and stick with it until you're off cigs for awhile. Then invest in large quantities when you know what you like. When your vaping longer and know what you like/don't like about vaping, resarch and use the money for a mod.

Otherwise you'll end up with a table full of juice bottles of juice you hate.

Go hard bro, order them allllll!

 

[heinz]

wow i just realized provari is $159. that is super duper expensive, the provape looks ok...it's only 90 ? but if i spend 90 on a provape ill run out of juices in under a month.

my thoughts.

lots of juice - good ol' ejoy > ivape 2.7 with all the mods - no juice

 

[heinz]

honestly this ecig juice thing has gone to worldwide fame, and with its million concoctions of never ending vaping variables, i wouldn't know where to start. but i do know that I HAVE NOT tasted any tobacco flavors.
only strictly vanilla, bubble gum, cotton candy, blueberry, etc.
Allergic to PG

i just wanna buy a big 500ml of VG probably from freedomsmokesusa.com but then again there's no flavor! but as long as that smoke shop still sells the 7mg bottles of NLA for $12.99, i'd be fine. knowing that ...... costs way less.

 

[gvegastiger]

heinz,

Check out the classifieds if you are looking to upgrade your PV. I picked up an iPro with battery, charger, and a carto for a good deal.

If you just vape VG, check out Virgin Vapor- Very popular and supposedly not real thick juice.

Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

She has a really nice kgo kit-

KGO/eGo Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

You'll get a great vape with that. Get a kit, a box or two of cartomizers, a couple drip tips and some juice and vape away!

If you're just vaping 100%VG, you can save a TON of money by going to myfreedomsmokes.com and picking up some unflavored nic juice, some flavors, a couple syringes and a bottle of VG. You can get all the supplies you need to make months of juice and still have enough left over for a decent mod. My 24mg. juice ends up costing me about $0.15/ml. Some other people who buy larger quantities of flavors end up with a cost of about $.05/ml.

Don't waste your money on flavors you don't even know if you'll like. If you mix your own, you can make little batches and the worst that happens is that you're out a bucks worth of ingredients. Even if you don't like a particular flavoring, you can mix it with something else and make it better. I got 30 bottles of flavorings and didn't like some very much by themselves, but I always could find something else to use them with. Dropping your whole wad on juice all at once is nutz, IMO.

You can download free software to plug in what strength and quantity you want and it'll tell you how to mix it. There are also recipes that you can find here.B

BTW, $13 for 7ml of juice is a stone cold rip-off unless it was nectar custom squeezed out for you by God himself.. Most of us vape at least 3ml a day. Vaping $2/ml juice would cost as much as a 1 PAD analog habit. You can get the best, finest quality juice known to man for way less than that. You can get very good juice for $0.50-$.80/ml or less.

Wel, DIY isn't all that easy. I've been vaping over a year and my DIY attempts are pretty crappy.

I'd vape awhile before I even attempted that. Maybe you'll be better than me.

BlueMist has some fairly inexpensive juice.

Dude...

Go straight to Vaperite, right now, and order one or two tobacco samplers.
I am pretty sure they are all VG but you should check first.

And all of them are freaking awesome!!!
One, one 1111, eleventy one.

No, but seriously, their tobacco base is fantastic, and all the flavored tobaccos are subtle and tasty.
Give them a shot for at least one tobacco sampler of three flavors.

Seriously.

I'm not sure I'd give that advice to a newbie who seems content with non-tobacco flavors. The sooner you lose your taste for tobacco, the easier it is to abandon analogs entirely. I think it happens to most of us eventually anyway.

I commend him for not insisting on tobacco flavors or trying to match the taste of what he used to smoke. It's as necessary as automatic batteries and that red LED on the tip of your analog-lookalike.

It's quite possible I misunderstood his post, because I got the feeling he was interested in trying some tobacco flavors.

I can't say I agree.

Some need to find a good tobacco flavor to get them off the smokes.
Some need to move on from tobacco flavors to get them off the smokes.

As for moving away from tobacco flavors happening to most of us eventually, I see something of the opposite.
I see many long-time vapers moving away from tobacco flavors, and then moving back eventually.

This is where it is important to remember that we are all different.
But I think a poll might be useful here, so I'll see what I can come up with poll-wise.

I can't cook an egg. But with the recipes and calculators out there, I can whip up 3 months worth of tasty juice in a couple hours. It's especially easy if you use single flavors. The only dud I've ever had was my own recipe of pumpkin spice and something else I forgot but never want to taste again. It's even easier for someone who wants 100%VG or 100%PG, especially if you get low nic base. You can make it as complicated or simple as you want. The hardest part for me was deciding what flavorings to buy. So I got nearly all of them.

I got the opposite impression since he talked about paying a king's ransom for vanilla flavored juice.

That would be an interesting poll. I get the impression that people "graduate" away from tobacco flavors because it seems like the majority of people who have been vaping more than several months talk about all the other flavors. Even the ones that still use tobacco flavors, use the flavors that are "sort of tobacco", like Bobos Blend or whatever that popular flavor from Alien is called. It's not really a tobacco flavor. Maybe it's because so few tobacco flavors are faithful to the cigarette brands. I know was the case with me and it sped up my conversion to non-tobacco flavors.

I know that one of the reasons I'll never go back to analogs is because I can no longer stand the taste of tobacco, even the premium bulk tobacco I used to stuff into filtered tubes. When I started RYO (SYO really), I couldn't stand the taste of the Winstons I smoked for a solid 32 years.

As for it being necessary, I'm not so sure. It's a psychological hook that the marketers use, like analog look-alikes. It's comforting, but hardly necessary. No one is addicted to the taste of tobacco.

Great idea about the poll though.

heinz, how often are you at your computer? I just got a battery-less pass through from myvaporstore for $13.50 plus shipping. Using my smoktech cartos, it is vaping like a champ and arrived in 3 days! That would allow you to spend loads on juices.
Just a thought.

yeah i was gonna get tobacco flavors from vaperite but realized their shipping was $6.50 so i went to some other site. pictures coming when i get my stuff!

 

[Zer0Kewl]

bluemistvaping offers 100% vg

If you like to try different flavors, you can get 5 10ml bottles for $20_6 shipping with their "sampler pack"

 

[dlowmiller]

As for e-juice, I've tried lots of different kinds. I think Highbrow Vapor has the absolute best taste and they sell 10 ml bottles for $7.50. The best bang for my buck, and I mean the best juice at the best price, not the most juice at the cheapest price, seems to be at Vaperite. They sell naturally-flavored e-juice in 18 ml bottles for $9.99 and it's really good stuff, too. Both offer 100% VG juices, as well. Great for dripping. Hope that helps.
