Good sampler?
I only have used NONE or Plain State Express 18 and mix it. What do most of you former smokers use?

I just bought the following as a "best offer" 60.00, Tell me I didn't screw up. !! and what else am I going to need?

Innokin Itaste MVP 2 Version 2 with Kanger Aerotank Amp Protank 3 Mini Excellent | eBay

Thanks, If this was a mistake let me know what I need. I currently have a iClear 16, only hold 1.6 that i fill 4 times daily

That seems a little steep but that said, I am sure you will LOVE the MVP my wife and I both use them. The juice, I would have probably passed on that if you want nic in it, my thoughts are that you should go to a B&M and try some samples.

EDIT I just looked at the auction and I think you did fine, I do think the seller may have spent too much on the clearomisers but that isn't your problem.:)

I didn't get the juice, just wondered if I should try some. Or this there just cig or what does a former smoker smoke? Just nic, flavored like a cig or what?
So the total package I got is OK? Do i need coils atomizers or what with this package. being new the iclear 16 is real simple. the rest and all the talk confuses me without a glossary.

I'm new here too and off the cigs for just a month now, so don't take my 2 cents as gospel, but..I've tried several "tobacco" flavored juices and they all taste like chemicals to me.Maybe they'll steep in time and improve? The best substitute I've found so far has been Good Life Vapor's "El Kamino." I've used both 18mg. and 24mg. nicotine with 24 being closer to my normal old habit. It reminds me of having a smoke with a smooth, slightly sweet finish, tastes good right out of the mail and gets better as it ages. A little pricey but great quality juice. Try a small sample and see how your taste buds like it. Good luck in your quest!
P.S. It's not menthol so it won't be a sub if you were a menthol smoker.

Since e-bay sellers cannot sell e-liquid with nicotine, they sell unflavored e-liquid. If you require nicotine you would have to add it yourself. If you do this it would drastically dilute the flavors. For this reason I would not recommend purchasing any e-liquid from e-bay if you do not vape at 0mg nicotine. Even if I did vape 0mg I would not purchase (unless I had tried their e-liquid) because there are so many other suppliers selling great juice.

I would purchase an aerotank vs a protank. I have both. I recently upgraded all my Protanks by purchasing Aerobases (the same airflow control ring that is on the Aerotank) because the airflow control makes for a much better vape.

All "clearomizers" (the piece that holds your coil or "atomizer") need to be replaced at some point. Their life can be extended by soaking & "dry burning" when their performance starts to fall off. Here are a couple of video on how to do this.

1. iClear 16 Cleaning & Dry Burning
2. How to Clean & Dry Burn... Kanger ProTank II & Mini ProTank II, Protank 2 Tutorial << very similar to the Aerotank

And a few links for cigarette terminology

I was a very heavy 40+ year smoker. In my first 6 months I tried nearly every juice on the planet. I found a few I could tolerate but nothing I loved. I would use plain VG and PG to dilute them to mute the flavor or change the nic level. I finally found the unflavored nic was the nearest thing to smoking...at least for my palate. So basically you can mix just about anything.

Some people find their all day flavor easily. Some, like me, spend hundreds of dollars and never find it. I will always recommend that you try your local B&M first where you can make that initial search for free.

The closest I've found to the taste of my own cigarettes is the PG-Blend "Virginia" from MyFreedomSmokes.com. As a smoker, when you first taste it, it will taste sweeter than a cigarette, because it lacks the bitter, burning flavor, but other than that, it's VERY close to the taste of Virginia Slims. They also have it in a VG-Blend, but the throat hit is much softer, so it's not so much like a real cigarette's taste.

Due to some serious health issues, I temporarily went back to smoking a few wks ago, and now trying to get off the cigarettes again and go back to 100% vaping, so I got some "WTA" (whole tobacco alkaloid) "Virginia" from aromaejuice.com, and I have to say, it really does have something that seems more similar to "real cigarette" than any other vapor I've tried; maybe because it seems less sweet, more of a savory-tobacco taste. I'm only using a little of it mixed with the MFS Virginia, about 1/3 WTA to 2/3 MFS Virginia, and it's quite good, very similar to the taste of the cigarettes (better of course, because of the lack of bitterness).

Black sesame seed flavoring. No more than 2 drops per every 10ml.

That's an interesting choice; is it like sesame seed oil? I use that sometimes in cooking, especially chinese food, and it has a really smoky odor, almost-but-not-quite a burnt smell.

I'm not sure about the oil version. I get my BSS flavoring from perfume apprentice. It is really strong & smokey like the oil your talking about tho.

Sounds like that's basically the taste of sesame seeds -- strongly smoky. I can totally see adding a drop of that to any tobacco flavor to give it a realistic smoky taste. Great idea!! :thumbs:

It's super strong flavoring. I generally make a blended mix with mine. I take 5 ml of VG & 5 ml of PG, add one drop of the black sesame seed flavoring from perfume apprentice and shake like crazy. Then when I'm making my juice, I will add one drop of that blended BSS for every ml of juice I'm making.
