How is your mouth?

What type of kit are you looking for exactly? How much do you want to spend? Do you mind filling your own cartos or do you want prefilled?

Maybe until your mouth clears up, try the Ecopure line. Cignot carries it. It's a little pricey but it's supposed to be very good 'pure' juice. My mom's did go away after a couple weeks. But I'd be concerned too if I were you.

Well I'm surviving with Benedryl....LOL. I refuse to go back to traditional cigs. Thank you for asking! I'll check out the EcoPure line and Cignot. I know I want to move away from prefilled cartridges as they are more $$ in the long run. Now that I know I'm successfully stopping traditional smoking, I'm ready to invest in vaping!

If you PM me your addy, I have some Halo menthol juice I can send you. If you like their juice, they make a nice KR808 kit. It is PG juice though, so I don't know if you have an issue with PG or not. Try the Cignot juice first, see how your mouth does. If it's OK you could try the Halo juice.

KariS, I would suggest going to the Liberty-Flights site and looking around. Don't forget to click the 20% discount at the top. For a cig sized one, look at the Joye 510. However, I'd also consider the fat battery models, such as the Joye eGo or Riva 510. The fat battery models are larger than the cig sized ones, but the battery lasts much longer. There is also a relatively new cartomizer for the eGo/Riva available from Mad Vapes. It is a dual coil carto, and will hold mucho liquid. It can't be used on the smaller 510 because of the resistance. And, it would look silly. As far as liquids, that's a matter of personal preference. Liberty-Flights has liquids, as do dozens of other vendors. I'd recommend buying sample sizes and keeping track of the ones you like. Check the vendor list at the bottom of the main page.

Hopefully a change in equipment and playing around with either PG or VG may help your mouth. I do hope so for your sake.
I'm currently trying a vitamin B12 suppliment as I have had sore mouth and tongue troubles (with everything I've vaped) and apparently a deficiency in this vitamin can sometimes cause these mouth problems. (I still think it's the nicotine though)
Mouth ulcers are very common after you quit smoking so I have read and smoking apparently can cause deficiencies in both B12 and vitamin C.
Olive oil really does soothe the tongue and mouth as does gargling with a mixture of turmeric powder/honey and warm milk.

Good luck.

Thank you all! I've just ordered the Joye 510! I've researched and think this is the next step...LOL...from what I've read...this is a never ending journey. I'm really excited that I haven't invested hugely yet...my first starter kit was only $4.95 and I'm already into week 2 of not having an analogue cig (sp?)...We shall see...I'll enjoy following all the posts.....and see where this goes....

Well, my 510 arrived with VG vs. PG fluid yesterday. Mouth is already recovering!!!! YEA! And I love the 510 manual. Though I seem to be running through the prefilled carts fast! Already finished one off since last night. Kit came with 5 prefills and 2 empties (which I hope to use to drip?) I've made a few mistakes in my ordering product.....36 mg EcoPure Nicotine (VG), PG Marlb, VG Menthol. So I ordered 0 nic VG liquid. Can I cut the 36 nic with the 0 nic? I'm no chemist and lord knows I'm horrible with math. Any advise on how to do this? Thanks!!!

If you mix them 50/50, you will end up with 18mg/ml juice.

ETA: If the 0 nic isn't flavored, you will lose half your flavor.
