Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Marlboro Red. Forty-two years. Escalated to four packs a day. Die-hard! I didn't keep spare packs on hand. I kept spare cases of cartons on hand.
I have not had a cig since I started vaping. My stats:
Quit Date: 10/2/2012
Today: 4/14/2014
Smober Time: 1 Years, 6 Months, 12 Days
Cigarettes Not Smoked: 44,720
Money Saved: $12,812.28
That is quite an accomplishment to quit from 4 packs of Red Cowboy killers a day to nothing. Congratulations! Yes 4 packs of those is definitely hard core. I smoked the reds for about 33 of my 40 years but only 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day.
Some people have a reaction to PG. I was one of them. I vape 100% VG.
I just received my kit and extra bottles of juice. I am charging one of the batteries to insure it is charged. I have a seemingly stupid question. I am trying to put the syringe on one of the juice bottles and it doesn't want to go on. Am I supposed to cut some of the tip off the tip that sticks out from the bottle? I don't want to do something stupid so I figured I'd ask one of you knowledgeable people. The instructions are very minimal.
Hey Metafizik, Welcome to ECF....I just left your neck of the woods, went to eat lunch at Bill's!!!
Anyways, there is lots of great info here and lots of helpful people....does it work, well, I started in Jan this year, got my sister to start up in March after 30 years, 2 packs a day, so yea, it works. (Also got another teacher here in Wayne Co to quit and a Dr. down in GA to quit so yea, track record is pretty good so far!! --and they all say how EASY it is!!!!)
You could either order online (cheaper) or at a vape store....there's a guy over at the outlet mall in Smithfield that has starter setups, decent prices, but avoid the juices, you can do much better online. Go to the e-liquid discussion pages and read about all the different types available. Once you "get your feet wet", go to the DIY section and read, read, read....that's what I did and now I am making a bunch of exotic juices myself at home. (Yes it is MUCH cheaper to make your own, but you got to know what all you're doing).
Im around here a lot, so hit me up and I'll tell you more about some of the shops around eastern NC (Jacksonville, Fayetteville,
and Chapel Hill all have good shops with decent juices/equipment) Good luck and welcome again!!
Thank you. Ok, I was putting juice in the tank but I am not sure how much I got in there. I really can't tell from looking at that slotted window in the side. I did see juice start to come of of the mouth piece which sort of surprised me. I wasn't expecting that.
LOL you're right about that! Minimal instructions, plus when you you read here there is so much lingo and jargon and slang that we sling around your head is apt to explode. Rest assured, no question is stupid and most people here will gladly answer anything in as simple English as possible.
About the juice coming out the tip. When I saw that I quit filling it. Does the juice get in your mouth?
It certainly can. With a little practice you'll know when to stop, and/or find a new contraption that is less apt to do it.
Juice will generally taste horrible if you get it in your mouth. But try not to fear if it does, it won't make you sick unless you consume large amounts.
There are usually ways to clear out excess juice from an overfilled atomizer, mostly involving blowing in one end or the other while holding a paper towel at the opposite end. I'm not sure exactly what you have so it's hard to advise.
Something is not right. The led shows green when plugged in the charger but instructions say it should light up when I mash the button but I don't see that. When I draw on it I can hear bubbling but no smoke vapor.
Your battery may have an on/off function. Try pressing the button 5 times in quick succession, the light may then blink indicating that it's now ON. You may be able to turn it OFF the same way.
I'm two months in and started with ego kit. The only thing I've changed so far is a slight upgrade from the disposable ce3 tanks to a Kanger T3S; still relatively far down the food chain but they're affordable and there's no learning curve. I'm now researching upgrades, but I'm in no hurry.

Bingo - that did it. I was surprised how harsh it was which is a good thing. It felt like a real cig. I think this just might do the trick. Thank you!
