2 days analog free...

[Mapultz]

And I haven't killed anyone! WIN! I'm a pack-a-day smoker and have been for the past 10 years. I never thought kicking it would be this easy!

I'm new to vaping and new to the forum (although I've read a ton - y'all have already been really helpful). I've been seriously vaping for about a month and just kicked analogs on Sunday for good. And I'm feeling great.
My set up so far: stupidly started with V2. 2 auto batteries and some menthol carts. Liked it, so got some liquid to do my own refills. Quickly got tired of that and found Halo G6 and their mini tanks and manual batteries. Love love love. So easy to refill the tank and I like the amount of vapor I'm getting from the manual battery.

From my reading, I know I will probably end up wanting something bigger. But I'm not there yet. I'm enjoying the cig-a-like for now.

I have 2 questions. First of all, can someone recommend some menthol/minty e-liquids? The V2 e-liquid is okay, but not spectacular.

Second, the past 2 days I've had what feels like acid reflux, but without the burning. No coughing or phlegm or anything. Just like I have a lump in my throat. I don't think this is a reaction to vaping, as I've been doing it for awhile. But it coincides with kicking analogs, so I'm wondering if it's a side effect of that.

Sorry for the novel.

TL ; DR - ecigs rock. You guys rock. Any menthol suggestions and what are some side effects of quitting analogs.

I like these guys for menthol liquids: Halo Cigs

As for question 2, no idea.

Welcome to the forum.

I got a free sample of the Halo Kringle something or other. Very peppermint-y. I like it. I'm not sure which regular menthol flavor of theirs to try. I might have to try a sample pack.

To answer your question about your throat... I wonder if you just need to drink more water?

Sometimes if vaping a lot my throat gets dry and kind of feels like that.

A sample pack is the way to get because no one can tell you what you like.

If you want a full-on cool menthol, try Sub-zero

For a more mellow menthol, I like Mystic.

Kringle's Curse is also pretty good, but I can't decide if I want more or not.

Good luck.

Congrats on giving up smoking without killing anyone (but if you want to change that, I have a list).

I don't know about the lump in your throat feeling, I did not have anything like it, nor do I remember reading anyone else describing symptoms like that. I would recommend going to see a Dr. and having it checked out. It is always better to be safe than sorry!

As for menthols, I don't do straight menthol, but I can highly recommend Black Menthol and Fire and Ice from Vape Dojo. Black Menthol is a VERY tasty Blackberry Menthol flavor and I really enjoy it. Fire and Ice is just as tasty, but it is a Cinnamon and Menthol blend. Even better, they use a cinnamon flavor that does not crack tanks! It took them about 4 weeks to find one that wouldn't crack tanks, after they had to change suppliers.

Anyway, hopefully you will find what you are looking for!

I will definitely try more water. I didn't know until reading this forum that vaping dehydrates you.

I think the Kringle Curse is good in small doses. I think it's *too* minty for extended use.

Hi Mapultz.
Welcome. Keep the vaping up and no go back to analogs.

If your throat feels lumpy/scratchy, maybe just drink more water.
If you are sure it's way way deeper, well, could be your appetite changing cuz of change from real cigs to vape and causing upset stomach to some degree.
Im no doctor... if you keep feeling bad in lower esophagus, go get checked out.
i've found spearmint flavor can replace "menthol". I do like Halo, but actually got a spearmint flavored juice from MBV.

Be Healthy and Happy Vaping.

In regards to the lump in your throat.... Anytime I quit smoking my body goes nuts. Chest pains, shortness of breath, body aches. Just consider it detox.

SubZero is in my eCab at this moment ...

Mystic is OK, but of the sample pack I got from Halo, I liked HX3 the best. They list it under their tobacco flavors ...

I'm on the fence about Kringles Curse too. Maybe I won't like it anymore after Christmas ?

But the ultimate in menthol is still Arctic Wolf from VaporGod, perfect for a weak PV like the eRoll ...

Congrats on the 2 days! I quit on October 7th of this year, and I love every minute of my decision.

 

[Mapultz]

Thanks, everyone! Y'all have made a very overwhelming world seem a little less scary

Congrats on the 2 days! I haven't had too many minty vapes to recommend any in particular, but here's a great thread about what to expect after quitting:

Congrats! I quit an almost 40 year, pack a day habit last Thursday when I bought an E-cig - isn't it marvelous

 

[Empi666]

I'm in same boat time frame wise. Today is my second full day without analogs. I feel great. My ex-smoking buddies a at work think I've gone mad because I haven't been attending the smoke break sessions. One of them is a good friend of mine and I'm trying to convert him. He's very curious about it. Anyways OP, congrats on quitting!

 

[Mapultz]

Thank you!! I've convinced my mom to try the e-cig. She's been a smoker on and off her whole life, and can't believe how fine I am after quitting for good.

Keep up the good work!!

 

[JeffvapesGG]

If your looking for a really clean nice menthol flavor, I would give Nicquid.com ; smoothal a shot . Heres a link to it, NicQuid | USA E-Liquid | Smooththol - Burst - Menthols - Collections

 

[Jarmun]

Congrats, keep going and dun look back!

That is great that you have talked your mom into trying the e-cig too! I have gotten hubby to use one. He got another friend of ours using them and his wife. I have also gotten my neighbor using them but she also still uses analogs. It is like if I do not hand hold she will not stick with it. I have given her a couple of sets of batteries and atty's as well as liquids. When she runs out she does not bother to order more liquid. Not that she can't .. she just won't.

I hope that your mom goes with it like you did!!!

Regarding the lump in your throat, I feel that too especially chain vaping. I think it has something to do with the vaporize nic...
