Haven't smoked in a year, haven't vaped in months...

[Big Thier]

What's up y'all, I haven't logged in for months... I kinda need help. Let me put it down like this. I started smoking tobacco on a regular basis at the age of 16. At that time I smoked around a pack a week. Not too bad compared to a lot of people, but it still represented something like 1300 cigs a year. Since I started martial arts, or should I say since I started competing, I realized this .... just wasn't worth it. Around the age of 18, I "quit" cigarettes but continued smoking 1 a week. I then moved on to 1 every 2 weeks... And then I finally quit. I tried the Smoke Stik, with many e-juices, but it just didn't do it for me. So here I am now, 19 years old, and I really miss smoking. That feeling you get when you just finished eating, and you go for a walk, puffing... I will never smoke again, but I'm willing to try the e-cig one last time. What model should I use? Basically what I'm looking for is something as close to a real cig as possible. I wouldn't use it everyday, but once in a while. I must add that every juices I've tried left me with a sore throat. May be I should try VG. Thanks for your time!

Edit: Let me add that the throat hit is very important to me! And I want a real cigarette look.

I would suggest a kit from SmokelessImage (Volt), Bloog, Vapor4Life, Smoov, or Halo. I am not sure what the availability of these in Canada is, though.

As far as the sore throat goes, vaping will dehydrate you in a hurry, so make sure you drink plenty of water all day, every day. You might be sensitive to PG. To find out for sure, get some plain PG and plain VG and vape it. If you get a negative reaction from either, and drinking water doesn't help, you might be sensitive or allergic.

Yes, if it's just occasional use, a nice little 808 setup would likely be good. Frankly, it sounds like you're such a light user that maybe just a couple of the vapornine nebula starter kits at $8 each for 808 auto battery/charger/2 cartos, would be good; there's probably something close to that in Canada.

A good VG eliquid will give you lots of vapor, relatively little throat hit, probably what you want.

Let me add a few things: what I want basically is something that
- feels (throat hit) and tastes as close to a burning cigarette
- looks like a cigarette (I would prefer the good ol' look, but if you tell me "this device is wayyyy better but has a metallic color" I won't give a crap).

Also, markfm sais VG had little throat hit, can using a different device or using a higher nicotine level be increase the hit?

You are not going to find a juice that "tastes like a burning cigarette" it's impossible to duplicate burning paper, chemicals , tobacco (which IMO is a good thing) most "tobacco flavors" more resemble unlit tobacco which coupled with a good throat hit/lung hit can satisfy quite well for many people YMMV

I think Smokelessimage ships to Canada. You might try ordering from them. Just a thought.
