Am I crazy? Vape > Smoke

[gordong11]

Now that I have been vape'ing and a few weeks, 100% analog free, I actually notice that the nicotine buzz from a good vape is much better than an analog ever was...Am i crazy? I couldn't even imagine going back to analogs. Not only do I feel much better, but Vape'ing is just much more enjoyable. Analogs I found myself smoking because I felt the need to smoke mostly, and now Vape'ing is because I want to vape. Plus with an endless menu of flavors and mods it never gets boring. Having good hardware and finding this forum was the key for me, and would have never made the switch buying drugstore mods and not knowing about this forum. Thanks everyone

gordong11 you are not crazy! I know, because I am. I never see you at the meetings....

Congratulations on not smoking. Stick with it, your taste will change over the next few weeks or so. Don't buy a gallon of your current favorite juice, because in a month it will not be.

Funny you should say that, I have like 8 6ml bottles of various flavors from Ms T being delivered today and I'm going to try Boba's bounty and PG-Hype from Alien next. I love trying new flavors and trying to find like 5 flavors or so that I want to vape regularly, but I will always try new flavors. That's part of the fun

added: Oh yea and I'm saving my pennies for the new GG Odysseus, that thing is just too cool, got great reviews and is right up my alley, the only problem I need a proper sized PV to put it on, my iTaste and eGo-C are way to narrow. , would like a fool. wishing I had the funds for ProVari too, but considering a Kicked Xhaler.

You could look at one of the VV Apollo's gordong, with their 30% coupon they are actually pretty affordable!

Are you the quiet one over in the corner? Nevermind...

Unless you have an aversion to bananas you might want to try the Gorilla Juice from Alien also, I keep switching back and forth from Boba's and GJ, I can never figure out which one I like better. If you like a big tobacco flavor their Havana Gold is very good it has a strong honey flavor to it also. The thing I like about their juice is their samples are small, if you find something you don't like you don't feel like you're throwing away fortune if you toss it, but I've never found anything I didn't like from them so I haven't tossed anything yet. Good luck to you!

Gor, I'm just finishing my first bottle of hype. It is very nice but needs a lot less voltage than normal or has a bitter taste to it.

I got some gorilla juice and like it but can't really taste banana. So I bought a bottle of the banana. It is smooth and sweet and so mellow that I thought it was something else. I expected that banana laffy taffy flavor when people said banana.

gordong11, it is easy to spend a lot of money on vaping initially. Unlike most any other hobby however, it will give you a lot more money. Keep track of how much money you spent on cigarettes. After not smoking a while we can afford any PV that we want.

I hear you and believe me, I'm pretty poor right now, but its just so much fun searching for that perfect vape. For instance, I love my iTaste but I would also like something a bit more substantial. Kind of like the grass is greener thing. Then again if I didn't spend the money in the beginning I would have never of quit analogs. My first vape'ing experience was aweful to say the least, and it wasn't until I discovered VV mods +Smoktech 510 LR DC Mega's+ JC RO Tennessee Cured was I able to fully quit analogs. That was recipe that did it for me and I probably wasted close to $100 before I found it. But now that I'm settled in, I just want one more high end VV PV w/ GG Odysseus and I'm good, then its just sticking to my flavors and trying sample sizes a few every couple weeks.

If you put your mind to it, and really do your homework, you can get an awesome setup for a new noob for very little money. Like eGo-C w/ passthrough carto system and Boba's bounty

(my Story, skip if not interested)
I ended up with my PV's by Ordering the iTaste starter kit after hating Blu and even the included tank system with the iTaste was much better than Blu. One day I forgot to charge it and left my charger at home while omw to the 30 mile away Vapor shop and ran out of battery. SO I bought the cheapest passthrough battery they had, to avoid buying a pack of smokes, which was a eGo knockoff. I liked it but now I'm spoiled by a VV device, so I ordered an extra iTaste battery. Now I will always have a vape at my fingertips and no risk of wanting to buy a pack of smokes because I ran out of battery power. Almost a month later I find myself wanting cool mods, just because its fun and is a major part of why I think vape'ing so much better than smoking and more satisfying. Maybe I am crazy, LOL anyway total money spent inclding blu's on just the PV $40 (Blue disposables)+$70 (iTaste kit)+$20 (ego batt)+$35(iTaste Batt)+$20 (Adapters), total on just PV's $185. I could have gotten a ProVari kit for that money but I just didn't know any better and just not the way fate brought me.

You're only a couple of weeks in? You do spend more $ at first. Or you feel worse about the $ you do spend.

I blew $50 a week on smokes. Never really thought about it. But vaping money I do think about more. More conscious of it or something. Even though the effect is about the same. Sometimes you just have to not look at the price tag and get crap done.

 

[gordong11]

I was smoking about 10 packs a week, so its still much cheaper in the long run.

Ummm, no I don't care about the money I spent because it worked out for me and was able to quit analogs. Just looking back I would have gone with a different PV. Not because the iTaste doesn't work well, in fact it's great with the 510 adapter, but because as a noob I thought the tank system would be just as good as a 510 connection. Plus now that I am vape'ing I would prefer a PV with a beefier feel. I love variable voltage and think it's worth every penny, even if just using a Kick on a Xhaler for example. Oh Darwin gods, please make one magically appear on my doorstep

I am loving the new Gotvapes Phoenix 510 BC Clearo, I can't believe how well this this thing performs for a little over $2 each, I mean its wow good and even the flavor is ultra-clean, not 1 dry hit. Sometimes good things can be inexpensive

Gordo, if you have a VV device, you don't really need LR atty/cartos. LR only exists to give a fixed-voltage device a hotter temp. LR will hit your battery a little harder. Try using SR, and just adjust your voltage to taste.

 

[gordong11]

I know, I have been ordering them because of my extra ego, I really thought it would make much difference, but it does especially on delicate flavors. When I get a VV device, i will say goodbye to LR Cartos forever. Thanks

I have not had a buzz from nicotine since 1985.
