Argh, when will I learn to copy before hitting post?

Hi, everyone. I'm a noob from PA and I just typed a long soul-searching, eloquent, novel of a post which promptly flew off into the cyber equivalent of the place lost socks go. Oh, well, at least you were all spared the peek into my soul's dusty corners.

I'm a long time smoker who saw a Youtube video of Katherine Heigl smoking an e-cig just by chance about ten days ago. I tried a Premium No 7 tobacco flavored e-cig and thought, "This might work for me." Then I bought a couple disposable Blus and thought, "Maybe not." Luckily, you all are here because without reading all your advice and guidance, I would have thrown out the blu's and given up.

Instead, I ordered a eGo C and some juice and I'm happily puffing away on Sugar Cookie right now while waiting for my orders from Kick Bass Vapors and Mrs. T's to arrive. So far, I'm not having any problems with adjusting to the manual button or experiencing any leaking. I have a pair of pointy tweezers that I use to open the cart by sticking the end in the hole and popping it off. I have 3 x 4 ziplock bags and I put a juice and it's cart in there together. You can get like 500 of them for less than five dollars. That way I don't have to worry about labels coming off or sharpie smearing. I also use them for extra carts, attys, caps, etc. I really like the clear carts.

My biggest problem so far is flavor. I just can't suck on something really sweet all day long, but I don't want tobacco flavor either. I thought I would love vanilla, but the vanilla I tried left a cloying taste in my mouth for hours. Sugar Cookie is lighter and doesn't bother me as much. I love the flavor of Swedish Fish, but too sweet for all day vaping. I have orders in for a variety of flavors in sample sizes, so I hope I'll find something that is light and refreshing, but not minty. I'm hoping Pear from Mrs. T's will hit the spot. I also ordered some flavorless so I can dilute if necessary.

Anyway, thanks for this great resource for new and veteran vapers.

Welome & sorry for your loss (the post that is....)

While some never moked menthol, some find that adding it to other flavors helps. I always moked menthol but don't like the tobacco flavored nic. I also find that the higher the vg the sweeter it is, and more so if the vendor adds sweetner on top of that.

hth!

Hardware is the easy part. Finding "your" juice is the long search. Have you tried bacon flavor? Yes, it exists. I'd load that flavor in a carto though, you will never get it out of an atomizer.

You should keep some cheap 2ohm cartos around as backups.

If you find your old post, check the surrounding area for grey work socks, I'm missing several pair.

Thanks! I had just registered and it automatically signed me in, so there was no remember me box. I signed back in and checked it after losing the post. Live and learn, right?

Yeah, I'm not a big menthol fan, but one of the blu's I bought said tobacco and was actually menthol and it was more tolerable than the regular for me. I might try that, thanks. I also ordered buttered popcorn, which might be a good fit. I'll just have to suffer through trying all these delicious flavors until I find what I love---it's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

As soon as they come out with lettuce and tomato flavors so I can mix up a BLT, I'm in.

I didn't see your socks in the great lost and found in the sky, but I'm pretty sure I saw my husband's hair and my dignity among the items lost forever.

I lost the hair part 15 years ago.

It's hard to find a single flavor for all day vaping. I tend to rotate between a couple of fruit flavors that aren't too sweet. Lemonade, Pomegranate, Hawaiian Punch, Blueberry, Key Lime. Mix it up between semi-sweet and tart. The sweetness of some versions also depends on the vendor. I've noticed especially that some watermelon and Pomegranate tastes like candy and some tastes more like the real fruit. But I seem to tolerate fruit all day, after my morning coffee and bacon, that is.

Hey, Sailorman! I've read a lot of your posts while lurking the past week. Thanks for your knowledge and insights.

Yeah, I ordered some fruits including pear, apple, and tangerine. I also am trying some samples of coffee flavors because if I can drink coffee all day long, maybe I can vape it on and off all day.

Has anybody found that they've lost weight vaping because they can vape their dessert instead of eating it when they are in the mood for the taste of something sweet? Wouldn't that be amazing to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time?
