As I mentioned in another thread, I've been smoking on and off for my entire adult life - and have been 'on' for the past several years. I love to smoke. Don't like the smell, don't like the cough, sometimes don't even like the taste, but I love the action itself and I'm sure my body loves the nicotine =/
I went a little crazy, buying spinner sets for my BF and I, backup 510 sets, an assortment of attys/cartos/clearos/tanks, and a bunch of DIY juice/flavoring stuff. It all arrived today, I got them all charged and I'm determined to make this work.
I mixed up some VZ apple pie first, went with 50/50 PG/VG at 25mg to start. The 510s were fully charged almost immediately, so I filled up one of the blank cartridges it came with and gave it a go. Meh. Throat hit was decent, maybe a little harsh, with very little flavor or taste, except a slight (yummy) aftertaste. I set it aside and tried again - adding some extra apple pie, some cream, and some caramel. Slightly better, still lit a cigarette.
Puttered around while the spinners charged - came back several hours later and decided to try making a creamsicle liquid. full strength (2.5%) mandarin and ~1% cream. Used a boge 2.0 ohm carto, put it on the spinner, and played with the dial. Plenty of vapor and a perfect throat hit once I increased the voltage somewhat. Flavor is still not as strong as I'd like, though the bit that I get is delicious. Not sure if this is my taste buds, new cartos, poor mixing, or what. Going to hit the local place down the road to pick up some juices and recommendations to rule out user error.
Regardless, I like it! I lit a cigarette about an hour ago, and while it didn't taste bad, I SERIOUSLY reached for the vape a couple times when the analog was in the ashtray. I just lit another, but it's been burning away more than it's being smoked, it has an ewie aftertaste. I wish I had a really tasty something for my BF, but I'm hopeful I'll find something tomorrow. I was a little worried with the manual batteries, but I needn't have been. Previous experience with carbs made it about a 2 second adjustment to normal smoking =P
Maybe I won't be buying anymore cigarettes!
