Hi I just started vaping 2 weeks ago. I have an Ego!!! Luv it!!!! I, however, have not found my "sweet spot" w/ juice & this is getting expensive!!! My favorite, so far, is High Caliber 70/30 16mg Cappaciono and USA mix 16mg. Funny, I smoke menthol analogs, but do not really like the menthol flav. juice!! I am also VERY new at this FORUM thing, like this is my 1st post, thread, whatever...so bear w/ me & please don't use too many abbreviations...my kids aren't home to interpret!!

I am down to 1-4 analogs a day!!!! yeah!!!!!:toast:

Congratulations to you !! LOL...I still haven't found an all day vape ! Guess I am not really trying to. I am enjoying the various flavors...and wow..I have many !! (was a menthol smoker too...try the Teaberry...)
But...they keep me from wanting cigarettes...(40 + years of smoking).

Welcome to ECF !

Congratulations, you are doing great, love my eGo too. I had trouble finding juice I liked too, a couple I did like from fsusa was cappuccino smooth and french toast. Now I decided to do my own juices, just started couple days ago but liked all that I made so far. I need strong, sweet juice, now I can control that.

Thank you Lisa & classwife for your warm welcome! I want to try French Toast!! Hmmmm, I would like some REAl FRENCH TOAST rite now. Looks like I'm cookin' breakfast...lol ;)

The only problem with the french toast is that it smells like french toast when you vape it and makes my hubby hungry....lol.

I still like my mixture of RY4, Caramel, Apple, and Nut Mix, all from FSUSA (plus a little Glycerin added to blend them all together and create a little more vapor and a little less strong flavor, since I usually order 100% PG liquids). I discovered this mixture within a week or two after I started vaping and am still using it all the time. I also love caramel apples with nuts. I probably will never change the liquid I'm vaping, but then I've eaten oliveburgers almost every day for the last three months (after finding out how to make the best oliveburger sauce) -- and see no reason to change that, either. LOL

I smoked Newports and never cared for any of the menthol juices I tried either half of them tasted like I was vaping listerine.. Took me a few weeks before I found any juices I really loved that worth buying in larger quantity. I got a bottle of the FSUSA French Toast even after steeping its to weak for me :( If you like the coffee juice types vaperite's kona cream is awesome one of my everyday vapes.

Glad to see you found ECF. I have been looking around the net for the best price on juice. I put an order in with heavengifts.com on the suggestion of a senior mod member. They are out of china I think but then again so is everything. I must say that there prices beat out everyone elses sight Iv'e seen. I ordered a crap ton of 10ml juice @ 24mg and some pg and vg diluant to mix my own. Save a bunch on juice and mixing small batches is easier than buying and not liking it. I been vaping some Camel menthol juice @ 24mg and am back filling my camel regular 18mg 808 cartos, must say pretty good. Noticed the bottle I payed 14 or 17 dollars from them looks just like the bottle displayed on heavengifts web sight for $9. Ill keep those who are interested posted. I also know that if you go on ebay you can find LoRann Flavoring @ .125ml for $1 a bottle. Kick up the flavors you have or play around till you found your favorite. Welcome again and good luck. PS: Refill is the way to go. Conveniance of throwing away a carto when used up is to much to pay. Plus, I dont like filling the land fills with any more metal than needed.

i was a reg non menthol smoker. so my first week was alot of plan tobacco flavors. now my all day vape is peach cobbler or banana nut bread...lol. if you looked at me in person you would never guess those to be my flavors...lol..
one friend of mine (a 13 yr new port) smoker found that she LOVES the mint chocolate chip. i like it to. its a nice
clean taste. she used it to get that familiar taste. and looks at the chocolate as a nice bonus...lol. we get ours at tasty vapor.
they have great prices and there juice taste awesome...in my opinion.
Tasty Vapor
quik shipping and in this country.....congrats on vaping

Hi Loreen, Welcome to the forum. When you talk about a "sweet spot" I think in the very beginning of vaping that that has more to do with nicotine level than flavor. I know that I did a lot of searching for a juice I liked, but I was only buying in 16-18 mg. It wasn't until I happened to accidentally order, then tried, 24mg that my brain shouted "BINGO"

Your taste buds are going to be changing, so hang on to all that juice you've ordered and try it again in a month or so.

Ive been vaping for a week now. I got the Volcano ecig deluxe kit and its very good for the price you pay, although i have a KR808D-1 battery and Royal Smoker CE2 cartomizers coming in the mail as we speak. Keep up the vaping and just use any free time to research product and juice reviews...especially in Youtube! I think this forum is gonna be a great place to chat, compare, swap/sell and just simply discuss ecigs with passionate vaping enthusiasts around the country! So heres to ECF!:toast:

Welcome to the forum and it's great to hear that you're loving your eGo. What a great purchase!

Waffle is what does it for me. Especially Strawberry Waffle! And now I'm hungry...damn.

I just got my first DIY kit this morning. For once, the mail lady stalked ME, but only because I had to sign for it. I feel like such an alchemist now!

I'm with you! Waffle is amazing!! I tried it on a 5v box mod and it was like waffly maple syrup running down my throat, the added warmth from the 5v made it perfect. I bought some raspberry waffle from vaporrenu but could only really taste the raspberry, but a great raspberry, so I just add a little to my reg. waffle and yum!

Welcome and good job on the ego. I had to learn the hard way with a trio fifty one. I think it had more to do with my lack of knowledge than a truly bad product. However I now have a Jandy dura 510 with a prodigy V3 on the way. I have only been vaping for a week. I too am looking for the perfect juice. I still have a few analogs per day but way less than I used to, 3 packs in one week. I am vaping a xtra carmel from smoke staxx and I also like the chocolate carts that I got with the trio.
The chocolate seems to have the best TH and lasts for a long time. I also read on the forums that you can get some menthols that are made with real menthol crystals instead of mint. Good luck and congrats on vaping!

I'm starting to work on the mg part of the sweet spot too. I've been at 18, but I ordered some 36 so I could mix with glycerin (I just like glycerin better). I dripped a couple of the 36 to see what it was like, and I think "BINGO" sums it up pretty well. I had my wife try a couple puffs too, and she concurred that it does make a difference. 36 was too much for me, but I've ordered some 24 to try.

The first few weeks of vaping is an adjustment and also with your taste buds. To be honest, I didn't LOVE certain juices and it certainly can be frustrating, not to mention expensive. Eventually, things will begin to balance out. I went back to some juices I had started with and some are really different to me, then in my first initial weeks. Some juices just flat out sucked and lesson learned. I have a couple holy grail juices that never fail me but I still search for that "perfect" all day vape. I learned that cheap juices aren't always good and the same goes for the more pricey juices. There is alot of experimenting. I research vendors and read all reviews and keep my eye out for a sale. Taste is subjective though, some of my favorites can be awful to some. Some vendors that are highly praised and loved by many, may not be as impressive to you. Recently, I tried a juice that almost everyone raved about, only to find that I couldn't get on that bandwagon because it wasn't for me. Give it time, do your research, scope out those sales and eventually, you will find the one that hits your sweet spot!

Thank you so much for the well wishes & recommendations EVERYONE!!!!!! I had a totally awesome "vaping" day yesterday!!! I went 24 hours w/o an analog!! For the 1st time!!! I totally blinged out my eGo with really cool jewels (pics will follow as soon as I find my camera)!!! I ordered 11 samplers & some cartomizers from Freedomsmokeusa!!! French Toast, Carmel Cinnabun, Pink Lemonade, Creme Soda, Maxboro, Wyatt Earp, Purecig, Creamy Cappicino, S-more, Menthol Ultra & Green Tea!!!!! I can hardly wait!!! Most are 50% Vg / 50% Pg, some I had specially mixed w/ extra flavor & did a bit more Vg. All are 24mg. nic as I have found that some of you are right about the sweet spot being about the mg of nic! I tried my hubby's 24mg & it helped w/ my analog cravings!! I am mixing his 24mg Usa mix w/ my 18mg RY4 or my 18mg Cappicino. I am just alternating drops into my cart every 3 drops. This is giving me more nic & lightening the flavor of the RY4, as it is a bit strong for me. This is so easy...can anyone suggest why I should not be mixing drops this way?? Anyhow, I am loving my eGo & vaping & ECF!!!!!!! I will review flavors after trying them...
