Okay this has been a very cool new hobby. I was over a pack a day smoker, smoking pall mall reds, which are a very strong * nasty * cig.

I started off with a Kanger Evod Starter kit. I found this to be the best Ecig ever. I had tried quiting with a Blu Cig before, and was not impressed. I got my mother, and girl friend to quit with the same kit. My 70 stepfather who is very into health and fitness * works out 3 hours a day, in great shape, looks 50 * has always missed smoking, so he bought one too ( not sure if I am a bad influence here )

I have a very, very addictive personality. Any hobby I get into it seams I have several thousand dollars wrapped up into it before month 2, this is no different. I started by venturing into different tanks. I have the 2 evods, 1 vivi nova, one vision v3 dual coil, and a kanger pro tank. I seem to like the nova the best, but I have yet to finish my first tank in the pro tank, and think I have just chosen a juice with little throat hit, will try the same juice I am currently vaping in my vivi and report back. I also purchased a Mega Kgo VV 12ooMAH ( not here yet ) and am currently vaping on a Vision spinner 1300mah. I am thinking about just buying what I have learned to be the best, the provari soon here.

Now where I am struggling is the liquids. There is a place an hour and a half outside of town in a little town my buddies girl lives in, called VaporCompany, who I have tried several of their liquids, all of which are decent, most are great. The problem is I have no clue what the PG VG mix is ( except two, which only say 80/20, don't know if that is pg/vg or vg/pg, but I love these two flavors. ) And I currently smoke mostly 18 or 24mg nic. I tried to order off alien but they are closed, and I placed an order for about 13 different bottles from Vapor Lounge ( most in 25/75 pg/vg, one in 75/25 ). I have tried 6 different bottles off of ecigbestsave.com ( where I got most of my hard ware, great site, FAST shipping, excellent customer service ) and only 1 is worth a damn, 1 isn't bad. The rest I get absolutely NO flavor from, just a nasty, empty, almost burnt * yes I have tried lowest voltage settings possible * I feel that my vendor for juice will not be them again. How ever their banana is awesome sauce.

I do like to feel the smoke in my lungs, so I feel this is what we call throat hit. How ever, I also enjoy the HUGE clouds of smoke, which I feel are directly related to the filling feeling in my lungs. I also enjoy VERY strong flavors, hint flavors annoy me, and if I have to search for it, its not for me. I have thought that maybe 100VG is for me, idk.

So Strong, in your face flavors, feeling like my lungs are full of something ( warm or cool, doesn't matter ) and lots of vape are my requests. What are you recemmendations for me to sample around in? Thanks in advance.

^^^ what u812many says ^^^

I won't order juice from any vendor who can't or won't tell me precisely what the PG/VG ratios are. Also, I've been vaping for 8 months and am *still* working on the right ratios for me, so be patient, and be persistent, in your quest. And, last but not least, since you have strong preferences, have you considered DIY'ing your own juice?

Good luck, welcome to the forum, and thank you for helping your friends and family make the switch too! :thumb:

Ive been trying to get every smoker I see * or smell lol, nice to be able to smell again * to listen to me ramble about PV's, and give them information on where to start * direct a lot here, as well as some of the vendors, suggesting the Evod Starter kit for 44.99 on ecigbestsave as its what I started on and feel that its a great deal *

I have considered DIY, although its not something I want to fiddle fart around with yet, too busy buying gizmo's still lol

Generally higher PG gives stronger flavor and a harder throat hit. Higher VG gives off more vapor clouds but lack much throat hit. I would suggest trying one with high PG and another with high VG to see which is more important to you. Some people go with a 50/50 mix to get a combination. Higher nic levels also give better throat hit, so you could vape a higher nic with a higher VG. Just make sure you don't overdo it and end up with too much nic.
