finally found my solution

[Heroes For Ghosts]

hello everyone, my name is Tim. smoked for almost 25 years. last august 11th was my last cigarette.
found the eGo-T online and haven't looked back since. never thought I would be able to quit. almost 5 months later, I could not be more thrilled to tell people who ask me for a light that I don't smoke!

I use the johnson creek chocolate truffle flavor smoke juice. I tried almost every other flavor but this seems to be the one that that is just right. I'm down to the lowest nicotine (11mg) level. Still have that habit of needing something so I guess I'll run with this for a few more months.

If anyone has any other flavor choices, I would love to hear some mixing and matching and all that stuff.
Thanks,
Tim

Congrats on your 5 months Tim! Way to go!

As for flavors, which direction are you going? Sweet type flavors? Fruity?
I get alot of my favorites at The Vapor Room, but there are so many places that have great flavors.

Welcome to ECF!!! I personally make my own ejuice and vape Rad Bull, Peach, and Menthol Apple flavors pretty much exclusively.

Yeah eGo style batteries with a multitude of different carts/atomizers seems work for a lot of different people..it kind of nice that it's mostly "standardized" with the 510 connector being so popular also..I know 510 isn't all the industry but it's the connector where you have the most options

thanks, looking forward to being an active member. just got my first drip tip, not sure how to use it so I will research it on the forum.

Take out the rubber "cap" from your carto, and stick in the drip tip. I love drip tips, so much more comfortable.

Hi Tim -- I love stories like this popping up on the forum. It's the little details that people share from farther along the vaping path that get me excited about keeping it up. I can't wait until someone asks for a light so I can say, "I don't smoke!" I've only been off analogs for about a week, so there are still lighters in all of my coat pockets, handbags, etc. I hadn't even considered how liberating it will be when I just stop carrying them. Thanks for sharing that. And congratulations!

 

[Heroes For Ghosts]

Wow! didn't think I would get this many replies within minutes! thanks to all. love the forum already \m/

Hello, welcome and congratulations!

You will find lots of different flavors, and all the vendors will make something slightly different or a variation of the juice. So I would suggest you to try 1 vendor at the time and stick with the one that you liked.

Its very challenging I have to say, but its really fun too. If you still still trying different flavors, order the sample (about 6ml) bottles.

For me the Best juice that I found so far was from Alien Visions and my all day vape is Raf-a-licious. Its really good, but I had to wait 1 week after I receive it to let it "steep" and get a better flavor from the juices. Their juices are 100% VG too, that means that you get more vapor but less flavor, maybe thats the reason but even tho it worth a try.

If you prefer a more sweet/spicy I would suggest you Fireball from Liberty Flights. Thats a really good juice. They have diffent options of nic level too and its VG/PG mix. The juices are cheaper too (click on 20% discount banner at the top) before finish your order.

Happy vaping.

Lill, I still find lighters in my car under the seat and in my locker at work. I just laugh and give them to the smokers at my job. Best part is when they ask that they can really keep them? I still keep my few Zippos for other reasons. not giving those babies away! It's a great feeling when you say "you don't smoke"! it will get easier, believe me.

Lill - I had to hunt for a lighter to light a tealight candle under my scented oil. Took 15 mins to finally find one in a drawer.

just got a few of the big batteries from a website. these things last for 2 days! downside is they are about as long a pen (thats what she said) . but it works for me.

Yeah I have 3 eGo style and 3 XL (extra long) 510 auto batteries..I had some other short 510 "pen sized" manuals but used them up..got my moneys worth out of them last summer..the eGo's I expect will probably last over a year maybe a lot more seeing I have 3 and only really charge one a day
