555 black label: this is a tough one to describe right out of the bottle... it's got almost like a liquorice liqueur taste to it. tough to put my finger on, and being as i've never vaped 555 I'm not sure what to be expecting. At the moment I'm not enjoying it too much, although juice gets better once it sits. It has a chocolately nutty exhale. The inhale has almost a whiskey flavor. has a good throat hit, and produces a decent amount of vapor.

So for the 555 upon first vape,
Throat hit: 4/5
Vapor: 4/5
Taste: 3/5 so far, but it may grow on me

Nuport: a menthol tobacco blend. Just the right amount of vapor and throat hit. The flavor is slightly mild. The best menthol tobacco I've tried hands down. Produces a lot of vapor. Could use a tiny bit more menthol but over all I'm impressed.

Throat hit: 4/5
Vapor production: 5/5
taste: 4/5

Creamy Irish Mint: (my first creation) I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from this, but it's exactly what I was looking for. It's got a nice mild Irish Cream undertone, with the minty menthol just slightly kicking. Vapor production of this is the best I've tried so far. Very mild throat hit, which is good for today because I did the bar scene last night and smoked too many analogs. i would definately recommend this for anyone looking for that flavor.

Throat hit: 3/5
Vapor Production: 5/5
Flavor: 4.5/5

Vanilla: I reverse spun a grape carto for this one, so the review is going to be a bit tough... vapor production is a lot better than the vanilla from bloog, and being as vanilla was the only flavor I didn't really care for from bloog I figured i'd give it another go. flavor I can't comment on so much because it tastes like burnt vanilla grape, but to be honest, it has no real smell out of the bottle. It had that vanilla candle appeal. Throat hit is pretty harsh. Instantly dried out my mouth, but I will leave flavor out of this review simply because I have to wait to get all the grape out to give an unbiased review.
throat hit: 5/5 harshest so far
vapor: 4/5
Flavor: TBD

Andy's Mint: This one I was pretty stoked for. Straight out of the bottle I couldn't smell any mint at all hardly, I tried reverse spinning a carto I filled with the scope mouth was flavor that is Ultra mint from madvapes... Couldn't taste anything but that, So I spun out a blank I had filled with some menthol tobacco. As far as andy's mint this isn't quite it. After steeping I have a feeling this is going to be wonderful, but as of right now I'm getting mainly a chocolate flavor, with little mint. mint upon exhale, but minimal. Would I recommend this? As of right now I'm not sure, but I have high hopes for this after a little age. great vapor production, a throat hit that's not too harsh but noticeable, overall pretty solid.
Throat hit: 4/5
Vapor Production: 5/5
Flavor: 3/5 but I have a good feeling about it

So the best so far for me would probably be the creamy irish mint creation... Nuport coming in close second, but I have a feeling the Andy's Mint will be great, and the 555 will grow on me, vanilla not so much but we'll see.

Yeah, I truly wish I never began this god awful habit... It's a terrible thing, I've seen people gone because of lung cancer, and still my mentality hasn't changed enough to quit... Soon, just need to find the will power within myself. I'm doing wonderfully at home, just can't get over the jitters at work without an analog...

I dunno, I have absolutely zero willpower (no pun intended). But I never put the pressure on myself to stop with these. They were at first a novelty, then a supplement, then I just preferred them over the others. And I don't have the peer pressure you seem to have -- you mentioned before you felt funny/embarrassed using it in public (aka in front of friends?). But using it at home is still better than not using it at all.
I'm glad your Irish Minty thing turned out to be a winner :)

I quit out of sheer stubbornness. I ordered a kr808 starter kit from another vendor, and then went to my local smoke shop to pick up enough to last me until my ecig arrived. I was talking to the owners of the store and asked them if they had considered selling ecigs. They looked at me like I had three heads. One of them laughed and said "no way, we don't want you to quit smoking". At that moment something switched in my head and I vowed to never throw my money at these guys again, just out of frustration. It was almost as if they had challenged me, and I do love a good challenge.

So my kit arrived Dec 28th, had my last analog on Dec 30th. However, you guys who are starting out with the MF are really lucky. My kit was not the greatest, which I didn't even realize until I started experimenting with different vendors. This truly is the best analog experience that I've found.

However, each person is different, and has different motivating factors. I bought my kit not knowing if I was really going to use it to quit, but after what they said to me at the smoke shop I was determined to quit. Many people have had to use other things like swedish snus with their ecigs to finally be able to quit. I am still blown away by the stuff that is in analogs, a lot of chemicals that our bodies grow accustomed to, not just the nicotine.

Zero, don't beat yourself up, its a process :)

"Get your Bloog on! USA
I got one of those god awful convenience store e-cigs, just to see if I thought I could adapt before I ordered online.
Got a mouthful of nasty juice and not much vapor, but it was enough to set me on the path to finally pick by Bloog out.

You are right, beachpuff, we are lucky. I am so thankful that I have been able to lay down my analogs and pick a vendor I really enjoy doing business with too.

Stopping analogs is kinda like catching a cat - it has to come to you, chasing it won't work.

Hang in there, Zero, one day at a time and be kind to yourself along the way. Every analog you don't smoke is a small victory.
My hubby is still having what we call having the "teeth itch" - when something is missing or wrong enough to set your nerves jangling a bit. If it gets too bad he smokes an analog.

the 555 is growing on me, but it's harsh... the andy's mint, still not very minty, the nuport and the creamy irish mint are my new favorite. they kind've jipp you on the bottles though, unless they are bigger than the amount of liquid they are supposed to have... they are all only 3/4 of the way full.
