Hello from Lakeland Florida

[Terribeartaz]

Just found this thread through a google search about an hour ago, and have already learned so much! Have been vaping for a little over 2 weeks, and found out a few minutes ago I have been doing it wrong! Lol. I will never go back to regular cigarettes, they are so disgusting to me now. I have smoked for 33 years, and decided when I received money for Christmas this year that I would try vaping. I purchased my ' kit ' from a untrained salesperson at a tobacco shop. She never bothered to explain anything! All she kept saying when I tried 20 flavors and could only taste the ones with a cinnamon flavor, that I must be getting suck! Hello? In hindsight, I should have said, ok ty and walked away. The next day found a slightly more knowledgeable person at the local fleamarket who told me I needed pyrex tank for my cinnamon based juice. I was using the plastic tank the previous sales person sold me! OMG, to hear that cinnamon breaks down plastic? Opinions on this? Is this true? Or was it a sales technique? Thanks for having this forum, and thanks for allowing me to join

yes cinnamon and citrus flavors can crack a plastic tank over time

Welcome Terri!

That salesperson made it sound like I was already vaping plastic! But in truth, I like the flavor better in the pyrex bottom burner anyways. Thanks for your quick reply.

Don't feel. I think most of us here were had on our first purchase. Too bad I didn't see this forum first!

welcome aboard

I personally stick with glass or metal tanks simply because you there are so many juices out there that can crack, degrade or even leach stuff from plastic into your juice.

as far as the salesperson only recommending cinnamon flavors, that could partily be due to the fact that your tastebuds are still dead from smoking. over time you will notice that food taste better and other flavors of juice will be more easier to taste. When i started only thing I could stand the taste of was tobacco flavors, then I went to cinnamon flavors. Now I simply vape fruity flavors. sometimes I will vape others for a bit.

Thanks deleon. The sales person didnt recommend only cinnamon ones, thats all I could taste lol. But had she been trained properly, she would have known that as a smoker of 33 years, like you said, i had lost alot of taste. Now my fav is mixing chocolate and caramel. I have several flavors I have yet to try but have already purchased. I tend to be a creature of habit though, and keep returning to the one I originally got, which is Evil Monkey, a combo of atomic fireball and banana. Thanks for your reply
