Still not completely off cigarettes after a year-and-half of vaping, I stopped to buy a once weekly pack of Marlboro Menthol Blue "Smooth" at a local (WaWa) convenience store that carries almost every known brand of tobacco products.
The Marlboro selection seems to run to dozens of flavors and colors. The clerk had to work her way around a large three-sided rack to find what I wanted after showing me the face of a number of packs.
It made me think of the multiplicity of vape choices that have popped up even in the short time since I picked up my first starter package. I've since worked my way through at least 20 variations of pen, box, regulated, and unregulated mods. Recognizing that we all seem to have favorites we've settled on even in the face of not having tried every possible device (not possible, actually), and, of course, wanting to justify our own selections-- I want to give you my list of current favorites:
1. Device: Anything iTaste, Eleaf
2. Liquids/juice: Anything Nicoticket
3. tank: Aspire Nautilis Mini
My criterion has been reliability, ease of use, cleanliness of flavor, and moderate and controllable vapor production. I don't especially seek huge clouds but am happy when I get them. I have several unregulated mod clones, doesn't seem to matter what they are or where I got them, they all work well. Some require more maintenance than others-- mostly with buttons and springs-- but I can deal with that. I use these at home only to avoid any chance of accidental power tripping when traveling.
The point I'd like to make is that we all have so much to choose from. Finding a "just right" combination is not easy. You may have found one that's right for you.
