I have heard somebody claim that an ecig was almost exactly like hookah but I dont remember who so I cant quote.

I am willing to bet that the mint flavors taste like a menthol eclipse cigarette. You heat up this carbon thing and it vaporizes tobacco inside.

its actually pretty cool if you blow the smoke on your hand it will feel cold and tingle.
 
It's funny you should ask. I was comparing the quality of the vapor to hookah the other day. It's obviously cool and occasionally scratchy like hookah smoke. If you don't inhale deeply, you can get a similar quality of exhale (though not nearly the volume, unless you have a Screwdriver). The flavors of the juice actually taste more like whatever flavor it is than flavored hookah tobacco. I love the taste of hookah, but the flavors are more like a "hint" of whatever flavor it's supposed to be.

Some flavors are stronger than others in e-liquids, just as in hookah smoke. For instance, Fumari Cantaloupe shisha has more flavor than my melon flavored liquid, but Janty's Cappucino liquid gives me more flavor than the coffee flavored shisha I have does. It's all about experimenting with the flavors and finding which ones you like best. The texture is definitely similar, but you may not have the same volume.
 
wow, i am so happy to hear the positive responses. I had to pull out my hookah last night because I am getting so excited for this i dont even want to smoke the rest of my cigarettes. I think i am going to be doing a lot of DIY juices without nic, because I dont really like a hard throat hit anyways, i would prefer a full flavor like strawberry or rose. well guys, I definitely have my hopes up and i hope the janty doesnt disappoint. after hearing good things about it, i ordered it (over the npro) and just last night I read that Ludo (the guy that runs janty, i assume) said they made it for basically a cool party trick and that it wasnt really made to be a daily performer, so now i'm kinda bummed about it, should have done more research. none the less, i am still WAY excited to kick analogs for good and hopefully my girlfriend will stop looking at me reluctantly everytime i go in for a kiss after a stressful day at work. haha.

Ben,
I just discovered a trick that will triple the vapor from your PV so it has the volume of a hookah. This is probably old news, but I'm a newb and I'm totally stoked.

Get some glycerin at the pharmacy and add a few drops to your cartridge. I paid $5 for a pint of it. It hugely increases the vapor and cuts down the nicotine ratio (which you indicated you wanted to do).
 
haha, i already bought a bottle of glycerin and I am still looking for Lorann's Flavorings, I might end up ordering them online, but anyways, I'm hoping it'll push out a lot of vapor, and I'm hoping i enjoy the feel of it. It stinks to spend so much money on something and not really know if you will like it that much or not... we'll see, finally got shipping confirmation on my fogger so i'll see it in a few days i guess.
