Day 11 Coil wick replacement

[Halloween1]

Day 11 with no analogs and no real desire to go back to them. Every time the thought enters my mind, I walk past someone Smoking and the thought vanishes. I'm not one of those people who is going to hassle anyone smoking analogs, or be all snotty about it. How can I? I was there! Anyway. tried Ben and Harry from "My freedom Smokes" If you are still into tobacco flavors, this one is good. It's a decent simulation of Benson and Hedges. I would have smoked B+H more, but they're imports and wayyyyyyy cost prohibitive. I'm going to try the Salem clone from the same company. The one from Gourmet Vapor is like Spearmint Altoids. Not bad, but not what I'm after. I fried a wick on a 1.8 ohm coil and decided to try replacing it rather than ditch the coil entirely. After burning the gunk off the coil, I boiled some Organic cotton, dried it, and made a new set of wicks, Main wick and flavor wick. What do you know? It works. I'm happy with the flavor it provides. A little rattlesnake, but not so much that I mind. My SVD has much better control than the Evod VV batteries. I think I'm about ready to branch into non tobacco flavors, so I'm looking forward to that. Here's to vaping happily along!

Update on My Freedom Smoke "Mass Menthol" Juice (salem clone) Good show!!!!!! it took me a few hits to recognize the flavor without all the other junk that comes in cigarette smoke but, I'll be darned if it doesn't match up pretty well.

Try getting off the tobacco flavours. I ordered 14 different flavours - basically anything that I enjoy or which has positive memories for me. It's helped a lot. Infact since I got the flavours (on monday so not long) I've not been interested in the tobacco flavour.

You see - I associate smoking with a positive thing. This is because I started when I was new to the Army, and it was my only escape from putting my body and mind through hell. It was the only time I could take my beret off, or put my rifle down and relax.

So I'm trying to break that. I've picked things that remind me off great times in my childood. That might sounds a big camp or soft, but for me it's worked. I'm getting the tobacco but I'm not being reminded of smoking if that makes sense. Plus it tastes better.

I'm getting there. I'm not quite ready to abandon tobaccos totally, but I'm branching out. Vanilla Caramel is nice and I tried a pretty decent Mango. Fruit flavors still seem pretty weird in this context. That may change as time goes by. My next trip to a vape shop near me will probably see me come home with some different flavors.
