Like you I also thought I needed something that tasted and felt like a real cigarette. I am only 10 days into this and here is my impressions. After 30+ yrs of a pack a day I am analog free for the past 3 days. I don't even want a real cigarette taste any more. I am using a Riva 510 with dual coil cartomizers. I have kinda come to the conclusion that your brain likes that taste because that is how it is accustomed to getting it's nicotine fix. It seems to adjust very quickly to another taste as long as it likes and it gets it's nicotine fix.
I tried a couple of times the last few days to smoke a real cig and could only manage a couple of puffs. Yuck! Who wants to taste
tobacco when you can taste apple or vanilla or any other of the great flavors. And yes, I really did like the taste of cigarettes only ten short days ago.
