Becoming a fan of the Kamel ( a little update)

[zeromisfit999]

After vaping a lot this past week or so, I killed the Kamel cart that was in the variety pack. Thus far I seem to enjoy the tobacco flavored ones more so than any other (I'm a menthol smoker). The 555, RY4, and Kamel all seem to do pretty well at kicking my cigarette cravings. But here's the bad news. It seems as though I either got another bad batch of RY4 carts, or my taste has changed. All the RY4 ones in the new pack taste exactly like just before a cart dies on you, but they still produce a lot of vapor. I added a little vanilla juice to one, just to see what would happen, and it had a nice vanilla RY4 (doesn't sound appealing but it was actually) kick to it until the vanilla juice wore off, then back to that burnt taste. I don't want to send them back again, as It may just be my taste buds, they don't seem to be defective, as they aren't leaking, and they are still producing a lot of vapor. Onto some more bad news/some slightly good news. I got promoted at work, and am training as a manager this week. My anxiety level has hit an all time (well not quite) high. Experiencing a lot more attacks, not panic, but more just anxiety feelings of "I'm going to die, I'm going to have a heart attack, I'm dizzy, My legs are weak." types of thoughts/emotions. This has lead to me jumping right back to almost a full pack of smokes a day. I'm a bit upset by this, but I mean it's a struggle. Trying to come off of meds and trying to quit smoking at the same simply isn't work. So I'm going to work on the smoking, as taking pills won't exactly kill me. But yeah.... In short, got a promotion at work, leave for a cross country trip to CO in three weeks, still smoking, waiting patiently for juice to arrive so I can order some Kamel/RY4/555 and some blanks, and hopefully put my money spent to better use, and get off the analogs...

I have to agree with your preference for tobacco flavors. The Kamel was so-so to me but my brother swears by it. I do like the RY4, 555 and Red. I would describe them this way:

Kamel - Smoky, dry tobacco with a touch of pepper
RY4 - Sweet tobacco base with hints of caramel and a fruity vanilla
555 - Tobacco with a heavy nut flavor
Red - Sweet tobacco

I am really sorry that you got a bad batch of RY4 cartos. Hopefully, it will turn out to be your taste buds and they recover soon. You may want to consider ordering Tribeca as an interim solution until Bloog is offering their juices for sale.

Don't beat yourself up over falling off the wagon. It happens. Remember, this is your journey. Go at your pace, guilt-free.

And congratulations on the promotion!

i get this alot with the ry4 usually i end up adding some juice to it then sometimes ry4 is the best flavor of all not sure about all of this when the juice gets here that will solve it all

I gotta agree on the Kamel. I wasn't impressed at first but it gave a burn at the back of the throat that hung around that I liked more as the carto went on. And now it's gone. All vaped up.

Not me. I can't get over the pepper. I like pepper but not in a smoke.

Remember, this is your journey. Go at your pace, guilt-free.

I never really thought of it in those terms, nice Gardner.

I fully agree with this. It is a "journey". A journey into the unknown, a fun ride of ups and downs, of exploration with new gear, new juices, new ways of cleaning, new ways of storing, and maybe most improtantly... meeting new friends who will support you.

I love the journey, it's fun and exciting. Don't think in terms of failure or falling off the wagon Zero; just think of it as part of your journey... like a little kid first testing the waters at a beach... put a toe in, back off. take put a whole foot in, back off. Walk in up to your knees, back off. Pretty soon you'll be diving right in, and never looking back. Don't feel like you have to force it. We have faith in you.

And congrats on the new job as well. I know you hate service, but at least (I'm assuming) it's more money. So that's one less thing to stress about.... you've now got the extra funds to buy more bloog stuff!
