Bah, taste is so subjective. What you like others may hate. What you hate others may love. That's just the way it goes. Personally I don't much care for the Boba's Bounty.

Advice. Well, it's ok if you smoke while your learning how your new toy works! IT's ok to NOT like a taste that others rave about. It's OK to LOVE a taste that others hate! Practice using your Volt. When your at the point where you are comfortable with it (this can be in as little as a day to as long as a few MONTHS) put your analog's in another room and keep the Volt handy. Make it EASY on yourself to vape, make yourself have to WORK for the analog's.

Try new flavors, try flavors you wouldn't think you'ld like. There are TONS of options out there for flavors. Finding what we call your "sweet spot", that is the flavors and equipment that works best for YOU, is what is going to help you give up the stinkies!

DRINK water, drink LOTS of water, vapeing dehydrates you due to the method of nicotine uptake in your lungs!! Did I mention drink LOTS OF WATER?!?!

Welcome to the ECF, welcome to vapeing. You are about to begin a journey full of new tastes, and new ideas. Enjoy your stay! ASK questions. We believe in helping out, be ready to answer questions!! We will often ask questions that don't make SENSE to the new person. But most of our questions DO have method to the madness. If you curious ASK we'll tell ya's!! We are a huge family that is very supportive of each other.

The BIGGEST piece of advice I can give you? HAVE FUN!!! Play with this!!! Oh, and drink lots of fluids!!!

actually, I'm not a smoker. I havent smoked in about 20 years. He has been using the Volt products for about 3 months and quit smoking on the first day. I was very proud of him. He was hiding his smoking from me for the past 5 years and now that he quit, he finally showed me his Volt products the other day and I really liked it. I always suspected he was smoking buy my daughter denied it. Then after he quit, she told me and told me how he quit.

He has really gotten into the whole idea of vaping, even making videos on youtube.

After I told him I liked it and wouldn't mind having one, he ordered a complete starter kit with 0 nicotine cartridges to give me for my birthday.

I know that he makes some of his own juice, but I want to try some of the other flavors out there. Do most of the places sell it with no nicotine? Since I havent been smoking, I don't really need it.

You've got a great son in law!
The Volt is one of the best cigarette style systems out there so you're off to a great start.
As Taniger said, taste is VERY subjective, so I suggest you order small sample packs of juices to see what tickles your taste buds.

If your son in law didn't show you already, learn how to refil your cartomizers. You'll save tons of money doing that.
And by all means come to this forum for ANY questions you might have. The people here will usually have good answers.

Yes, many or even most places will have 0 nicotine juices, so you're in luck there.

Most people that take to vaping do so as a means of quitting and start off with juices that are tobacco flavored. Seeing that you're not a smoker you may want to jump right into some other flavors. If you like desert flavors a place called Sweet-Vapes is one that I personally like http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop/e-liquid?page=shop.browse&category_id=6.

We all have our favorites, and there are hundreds of places and thousands of juices to choose from so it's difficult to suggest much until we know what kind of flavors you might be looking for.

Most places DO sell with no nicotine, and they number in LEGIONS. I would STRONGLY recommend sticking with the vendors here on the ECF for now. They have been vetted (you've probably noticed this is NOT a small forum) and are well known, they tend to NOT be fly by nights. You can jump into the review's section see who has the good customer service etc. Though as s supplier, you don't live long here if you don't have good customer service, and a good product.

Recommend you get taster packs. Most places will sell 5ml-10ml sample packs of all kinds of different stuff! From chocolate to pizza (yes I said pizza, never tried the pizza though). Find out if you like sweet or sour, menthol or regular. What you liked as a smoker (stipulated you havn't smoked in years, but you do have a memory of it) is not necassarily what you will like as a vapor!

Again, have fun with it, try new flavors, heck if you like it that much, try different equipment! But HAVE fun!! Oh, and drink lots of fluids~! (It's the PG that does the dehydrating, not the nicotine)

Does anyone have any recommendations?
We're all here to help, and most of the folks here are great. Experiment with a wide variety of flavors. I was reluctant to try any flavor but tobacco for months. I just started using a strawberry flaor, and feel like a dumb a** for not trying it sooner.

I was also reluctant to try anything other than tobacco flavor, but then I found Virgin Vapor and discovered so many wonderful flavors - I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed them. Don't even want to use tobacco flavors anymore! My favorite is Kona Coffee Milkshake.
