It's been a while since I've been on the forum. I have actually been too embarrassed to come back. I posted a couple of weeks ago about having problems with my new Riva and not getting any vapor. I tried several things to no avail. When all else failed, I turned to the forum. You all were AWESOME! You gave me such great and prompt feedback. But, even after doing the things you told me to try, still no vapor. Finally, I called Travis to see what kind of return policy came with my Riva. Guess what. I ordered the starter kit and additional carts...none of which contain ANY vapor! No wonder I wasn't getting anything! LOL Yeah, I know...what a noob! I can't deny it...I'm a doofus! 
So, my husband and I went to Denver (4.5 hours away) in hopes of finding a store in the area that sold e-liquid so I could get started right away. We were there to get a memorial tattoo done for my husband and that didn't pan out either. That's right...no luck finding anyone that carried the e-liquid. In fact, some tobacco shops I called almost sounded offended that I even asked. :::shaking head::: Maybe they need to get with the program and start offering smokers alternatives, you know? I called a couple of head shops and while they didn't carry e-juice, they were at least a lot happier when they told me "no". LOL Go figure!
Now, I am back to the panel of experts and after spending a great deal of time reading reviews, I'm getting ready to place an order with Vapor Bomb. Thanks to Mutt, I'm going to try some of the flavors he suggested that were also receiving rave reviews from other vapers. But, still being a vaper virgin, I need a bit more help. One day, I'll learn the ropes and won't be such a pain in the patooty.
Here's my questions:
1. I smoke Marlboro Ultra Lights and used to smoke Salem Ultra Lights. I love menthol cigarettes, but heard they were even worse on your health. I guess that's like saying a bigger hole in your head will kill you faster. *shrug* I'm not addicted to the nicotine or the flavor of the cigarette. It's the hand-to-mouth motion. But, if I'm going to go to the trouble of vaping, I want some flavor. I guess my question is, what are the specifics I am looking for? Since the nicotine "fix" isn't what I am seeking most, do I go for a lower-to-none nicotine content? I'm assuming that the VG/PG mix, right?
2. Since I'm a light analog smoker, do I go for the lowest strength? And if so, does that mean less flavor from the liquid?
Again...as usual...you input is deeply appreciated!
