first full day without an analog down. working on 2nd

[TroyHoot]

My orders came in the 24th. 1100kgo, 3 EMDCCs, boge attomizer + drip tip, Juices from bluemist all with extra flavor, and 3 juices from dekang(one was a free trial so i got 2 more to try).

First I tried the atty and drip tip with some Frothy toffee coffee bluemist 80/20 16mg. pretty good. TH was bit strong for me at first.
2nd tried some Buttery nipple bluemist 80/30 16mg omg butterscoth on first hit.
then atty quit.... tested it with my volt meter and had no continuity. cheap junk LOL
so no more tasting with atty. gotta get a good one for tasting.

So filled 3 EMDCCs.
Irish cream bluemist 80/20 16mg almost tooo strong for me at first. but lots flavor
Dragon fuit 100%vg free sample from Bluemist. This was THICK. Very good for first day or so. Then got very weak with zero TH.
Dekang Rasberry 100%vg 11mg but this was an older bottle over 6months from creation date. good TH little weak on flavor. was ok first day.

I ended up adding some 50/50 16mg dragon fruit from dekang to the Bluemist 100vg dragon fruit. Its wicking better and has TH now.
Cleaned out the rasberry and the carto is drying now. The dekang stuff is kinda weak on flavor.

Im thinking the combination of 16mg and 80/20 juice is a little too much for my throat. Its not as harsh today but its still a bit much. Going to try a couple more of the Bluemist juices and make sure its not just the Irish cream flavor itself. I do like the extra flavor i had added to these though.

Think im going to try some 50/50 11-12mg juice on my next order. Want to start DIY soon but need to find what ratio I like before i buy bulk.
Also trying to narrow down what flavors will suit me.

I really like EMDCCs. THink they will be great for work. Sturdy, no need to keep filling it all day.

Think im catching a cold though. so my tastebuds going to ... LOL

ok im rambling now. Just wanted to post up my experience so far. Really glad I looked into ecigs and found this forum.

If yall have any suggestions im open to them. Been reading and researching for couple weeks now.

Congratulations and good luck! I can't give you any specifics because I've never vaped on the PV/cartos you're using. I do know that your throat may get sore for awhile and your tastebuds will go on strike as well. They'll be back; hang in there!

Congrats on making it a day w/o smoking!!! Those Chinese attys and cartos can be hit or miss b/c they are made in some factory in China. As far as flavors go, taste is very subject. Finding juices I liked was the most costly thing when I first started vaping. I recommend you try different types of juices from different vendors. I also recommend when you feel ready, try a re-buildable atty(RBA) so you don't have to buy them anymore. Anyhow good luck and keep on vaping!

Awesome, Troy! Glad to hear of your first full day of success...
Just so you know, you can come up with your own mix (I assume you mean PG/VG?) with DIY. Just grab a 36mg of PG/VG mix, along with a bottle of VG and another of PG. You'll figure out what you want soon enough. It's not that hard.

Woo Hoo Troy!

For less throat hit, up the VG. And don't forget to drink plenty of water. Vaping dehydrates and it will help your body detox faster.

Yeah I meant Juice DIY. Wizardlabs lets you buy the nic in any mix. My first time I was gonna just get 12mg or 16mg in the mix I want. So all i have to do is add flavor to it. I understand after flavor it will dilute down to the nic level abit.

11mg seemed ok. the 16mg at 80/20 pg/vg seems a bit harsh though to me. Not sure if its the pg or the nic thats giving me the harsh TH though.

Im drinking plenty of water and coffee.. Been on a Keto diet for couple months so I drink at least couple litres a day. I noticed the 100VG at 11mg was almost zero TH on day 2.

Congrats!

Many may bad mouth the eMDCCs, but I think they're the best fuss free joose device for vaping n00bs.

Sure they aren't the best. I wanted something easy and sturdy for work. Cost was good too. These are Smoktek ones. I want to try the vaping zone ones the PB reviewed and liked.

Im a tinkerer and a builder at heart so Im sure im going to be building and trying different mods and delivery systems before long. I just wanted easy at first to make sure this was for me.
