Lots of people love SI's grape. Actually, there are 2 grape flavors. One is just called Grape, and the other is Classic Grape (I think that's the name). I like the Classic Grape better. it has a smoky taste, and the new grape tastes more like grape soda.

I must be hungry because they both sound good right now.

Yeah, but the reviews aren't good overall. Not sure cherry is the correct flavor. Decisions, decisions. lol

I've tried 2 cherry flavors so far, SI's and another brand. Both taste too much like cough medicine. I want a cherry flavor that tastes like a cherry. I think maybe that's a hard flavor to reproduce.

I hear ya! I have been vaping for 4 months now and I got very frustrated finding my tobacco flavour, I gave up and ventured into other flavours. Its very hard to find a substitute to burning tobacco leaves in the vaping world LOL!! I didnt think i would enjoy fruit flavours either so that was a pleasant suprise. My RY4 was my tobacco substitute. Cowboy and Freedom and other tobaccos I have tried were just gross for me.

This is almost exactly what happened to me. I wanted a tobacco flavor at first, but when I finally got all of SI's samplers and found out what other flavors there are, my perspective shifted, and now I've pretty much given up on finding a tobacco flavor I like. One day I had a lightbulb moment: I decided there's no reason why an e-cig has to taste anything like an analog. If I want to vape it because I like the flavor, that's the most important thing.

Well, my batt lasted most of the day (nine hours). I'm only recharging it now to get it ready for tomorrow. I don't vape heavy. I do it lightly and very often. Not surprised about the batt lasting so long. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to find out exactly how long it will last me before needing a charge.

The only bad thing about the experience so far has been the smell of the cartos in the sample pack. Individually, not so bad. Together, well, it's pretty rank. The aromas don't mix well at all. Won't need to buy this sample pack again anyway, so it's minor. I'll just have to keep them away from each other.

Overall, very very happy. Nice to have a dependable hardware vendor. Don't have to do alot of research and get headaches anymore.

Yep, everyone's taste is different. As soon as I find something comfortable, I'll be good. I'm just afraid to find something too comfortable or I'll intake more nicotine than I was before!

If that happens, you can just get a lower nic level. They even sell 0 nic, so you don't have to limit your vaping because of too much nicotine.

I like the auto I had because it was less work. I'm REALLY lazy. :) I guess I have a knack for the manuals because I've always been able to control the draw and get great vapor. It's a little harder with the Volt because the button is a bit recessed from the batt case, so I have to press harder than I was used to.

I've heard this from others, but only having experience with the Volts and nothing to compare it with, I have no problem pushing the button as far as strength. I do have to remember to push it, though. Sometimes I think I'm vaping an automatic battery and I forget. Then there's a moment of puzzlement till I realize what happened. Another thing is that I keep having to look to see where the button is to push it. Even if I'm still holding the e-cig in my hand, it sometimes rotates, and I miss the button. I'm trying to decide if I prefer the button on top and use my index finger on it or if it's better underneath, and I use my thumb. I think I've just about decided my thumb is the better method.

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Mega PCC along with some short batteries. Had to buy some blank cartos and the PCC was tempting me! I've been wanting it for a while now, anyway. So, next week I'll be stalking the mailman! Also ordered some mint cartos to try out. Hope I don't regret it! LOL!

The 510 I have is a manual too. It's button is bigger and much easier to press. However, since it sticks out from the casing farther, I'm sure it's more likely to get damaged.

Strength isn't really the problem. The problem (and it is very minor) is getting enough of your finger in there to trigger the button. I'm actually used to it now though. It's becoming more normal.

Well, I'm way too lazy to bother with a labeler. Too much work for me! lol

You're probably going to have to stick with prefilled cartos then, and I think that will limit your options. You may change your mind later. When I got the blank cartos, the bottles of liquid, and the label maker, I went to it for a few hours filling cartos and labeling them. Filling the cartos was probably a bit more trouble than making the labels, actually. After that, now it's like having prefilled cartos. And I have many more flavors to try to decide which ones I really like and which I don't. I think I'm in a stage of wanting to try all the different flavors out there. Except the crab, of course. I know tasting every flavor is impossible, especially when I want to see if one company's cherry is better than another's, only to find out neither really suits me. Still, trying the flavors it sounds like I might like or at least find interesting is keeping me busy and out of mischief.

Oh, I'm sure I'm gonna change my mind a lot of times on a lot of things when it comes to this stuff. I'll probably be vaping PinkChampagneCherryColaMintGrassClippings someday and wondering why I ever bothered with "tobacco" flavor.

If you already tried it, you should know if you like it or not?

SI has a mint flavor that's definitely different from their 2 menthol flavors, which are fairly similar to each other. The mint is milder, and I think I actually prefer the 2 menthol flavors to the mint, but I can't decide which menthol I like best. Maybe Menthol Burst? Still, the Ice Menthol is very close, and sometimes I think I like that one better.

I'm grumpy, sore, and hungry. Had to have a cyst thingie removed from my eyelid today. Happily I have tomorrow off too. I want to pig out on comfort food, but I'm trying to lose some weight and don't want to undo the good I've done lately. I'm sick of fruit, veggies, lean meats. I want a *&@% pizza. :glare: with extra cheese.

I am SOOO sick of pple downgrading cheese!!!
