Hi, Ken. I'm in Tulsa...right up the road. Actually, my daughter and her family (my grandbabies!!!) live in Mustang, so I'm over there at least every other week......burning up the turnpike. Welcome to ECF and welcome to vaping. Keep us informed of how it's going. If you ever run out of juice, I could meet you in Stroud (halfway) with a bottle. LOL

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I've been smoking (analogs) for about 22yrs. Most of that time has been 1.5-2ppd of Camel Lights Kings.

I can't seem to figure out the dosage ratings for the e-cigs. In particular, V4L's system. I believe Camel Lights (Blues, now) are about 0.7mg/cig. How does that compare to V4L's Kamel cartos that are labelled 4mg on a pack of 5 or the 30ml juice that's marked 36mg?!?

As for the flavors I ordered; I got a 5 pack of the Kamel cartos and a 5 pack of the Dunhall cartos. They also threw in a couple single samplers, an almond-chocolate-coconut and an apple-cinnamon-cranberry. I didn't think I'd care for the sweet/fruity blends, but they're actually quite enjoyable. I just don't know if those 2 have any nicotine content?!?

I also just placed an order for a 30ml bottle of 555 and another one of cafe mocha, in addition to some blank cartos.

If anyone can explain the dosage info I would be ever grateful.

Regards,
Ken

Buck, that's great!

I'm still having a few analogs a day, as well. I think I have an addiction to one of the other 1000's of chemicals in them in addition to the nicotine. Hopefully I can get completely off the analogs in the next couple weeks.

I got the V4L WOW Cafe Mocha, and I have to say it's now my favorite all-day vape :)

I didn't care for the WOW 555 too much, so if you ever want to do any liquid swappin', let me know...I've got a few other 5ml bottles on the way, too :D

I ordered some banana cream pie, coffee, black tea, coconut, and pina colada...can't wait to try 'em...

Yea we ordered a bunch of samples also. I am out of town this week so my wife is telling me how great they are! I will get to try them when I get home. Yea maybe we find some we are not to thrilled with we can get together and do a swap. I wonder how many members their are in Oklahoma, maybe we could have a get together like they did in PA.
Glad to hear it's going well.

Hey Buck!

So I'm now down to about 4-5 analogs a day. 1/4 pack from 2 packs a day for 20+ years seems pretty good to me :)
And they're really tasting nasty, so I think that's part of what's helping me cut down so much...

Also, I've had a chance to try some of the other flavors I ordered (but ran out of cartos and haven't got to try a couple yet).

The coffee is quite strong - it really tastes like you just took one of the roasted beans out of those little dispensers in the grocery store and popped it in your mouth (or am I the only one that's ever done that - haha).

The coconut has a fairly strong flavor - but I hesitate to call it coconut, it's more of a woody flavor - kind of disappointing considering some of the reviews I'd seen on it.

The banana cream pie is sweet and creamy, with a fairly strong flavor. There's definitely a banana flavor to it, but I'd prefer more banana (I must've been a monkey in a former life - banana is my favorite flavor for anything). This is now my 2nd favorite flavor out of what stock I currently have on hand.

I have a black tea and pina colada that I haven't got to try yet (out of cartos). I have another order that should be here tomorrow with more cartos (yeah) and a couple other flavors WOW Sour Cherry and WOW White Chocolate.

I also received 3 samples in the last order. I got a green tea, french pipe, and cool.

The green tea isn't bad. It kind of reminds me of a black tea with maybe a 1/2 to 1 drop of a menthol in it - very faint, but it's there.

The french pipe probably has one of the most pleasant tobacco flavors I've tried with e-cigs. It's quite strong, though.

The cool is just your basic menthol. I'm not a menthol fan, so ehhhh...

By far, my favorite is still the WOW Cafe Mocha.

I like the idea of a get together sometime. It'd probably need to be on a weekend and in the OKC area for me to make it though. I'm about to get back on the road (travelling every week) and won't have alot of time at home.

And I hope she leaves you some juice by the time you get home and doesn't vape up all the yummy flavors - haha...but if she does, hit me up and I'll see about hookin' you up :D

Hey Ken,
Just got home trying some Bubble Gum. Jury is still out not sure if I like it or not. I am on the road a lot also.

I have not had an analog in almost a week. The wife has stopped also. It's amazing how much better I feel in just a short time. I was the same as you over a PAD for forty years. I have done everything patch, gum, pills nothing worked.

Everyone has their own pace, you will quit when you are ready. But that is great how far you have come.

My wife got Egyptian spice, it has a clove and spice taste, it is really good.

I just tried Maiden Coffee, its a strong coffee (not the coffee bean from the dispenser coffee, no you are not the only one!) with a hint of Chocolate. It is kinda like a desert coffee. nice!

We have been ordering for Gourmet Vapor they have tons of flavors. I think I want to try DIY when I go through what I have on
hand.

I think at some point we should start a thread about how many members are from OK. Maybe start a OK group. It would be fun!

I got a sample pack of 24mg fruit flavors from esmokersonline.com. They were a little strong. If you want to try them let me know I can hook you up!

Talk to you soon.

Good to hear!

BTW, there is a Oklahoma group already set up here: Okie Vapers

Not a lot of dialog going on there, but it exists :)

Thanks for the link, too - I've been wondering about some of the other sites, but, you know - the devil you know - haha...

I got my other stuff from V4L today, WOW White Chocolate and WOW Sour Cherry. Tastes a lot like the WOW Cafe Mocha to me. To use your expression, the jury's still out on the cherry :D

I think my taste buds are going through something - tastes are really off today - not sure if it's the cut-down on analogs or too much higher nic vaping?!?
