HELP! Being forced to change brands

[kmaille]

Hey guys,
I am fairly new to e-cigs. I started with WhiteCloud brand Cirrus3 because I liked the small size (can easily fit in my pocket) and I fell in love instantly with their "Snap" flavor, a mint chocolate. This helped me stay off of analogs for the last 5 months.
Over the last month or so they have had no inventory of cartridges and I am starting to get frustrated. I am looking for suggestions on upgrading. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks!

White Cloud has a lot of good flavors... have you tried any others?

 

[kmaille]

Yes, I've tried quite a few. I'm ok with the Vanilla and the regular chocolate, but even those have been sporadic being re-stocked. I have some Strawberry that I'm using now, but its just not as satisfying.

 

[DC2]

I liked the Apache, Snap, Iced Berry, Kick, Bora Bora, and Espresso.

 

[kmaille]

The flavors aren't really the problem, it is the availability.

A lot of vendors have a mint chocolate or two, have you tried any others? You said cartriges, are you ok with getting your juice in bottles?

if you have the money i would just get a whole new setup... it paves the way for anything... originally i bought one of those blue cigs and enjoyed the menthol for a week or w.e.... then i started doing my research because i quickly went back to newports..I ended up buying an itaste mvp kit, 2 kanger 2 minis, and 30 dollars worth of vape from mtbakervapor everything came to a little over 100 dollars..if you are serious about it i would shell out the dough its literally a little more then what a carton costs. gl bud

I can't stress how much I agree with this! It's amazing to be away from the analogs but if you are so dependent on just one companies cartridges it only means you have really not yet experienced the true joy of vaping! I no longer use it as a way to escape analogs, it's simply my new and improved lifestyle now! And you can do it too.

I would suggest doing some research on clearomizer tanks and either an ego twist style battery (vision spinner makes a nice affordable 1300mah vv battery that easily fits in my pocket). If you could spend a touch more look into cheaper regulated mods like the Sid or the Vamo. For an entry level clearomizer I highly suggest getting the Aspire Nautilus mini and some backup BVC coils (super easy and obvious to install!). The mini nautilus with those coils gives a really amazing vape similar to that of a carto like you are used to, except only 10 times better!

First! Watch this video on the mini nautilus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H8iZlE0xvA

Then! Check out a simple variable voltage device like this: Batteries : Authentic SmokTech eGo Winder 1300mAh VV Battery

Charger for that battery Chargers : USB Charging Cable for Ego

and a tank: Tanks : Aspire Nautilus Mini Tank (BVC) - Genuine

Then go buy some e-liquid from a vendor until you find some awesome flavors you love! If you like mint chocolate, the Choc de Menthe at MaddCatt Vapors is really good!

All of this should cost under $100 and the quality of your vape will increase significantly!

Good luck!

to ecf kmaille. You have gotten some good suggestions so you know why I love ecf so much. Always someone here who wants to help you. I mix all my own and have been happy but when I was buying, I would always look for a good sale and try a small bottle and see if it was something I liked. Here is a like where you can find some fantastic deals. Good luck to you and I hope you find something that makes your taste buds dance.

I really like the Mig Cigs SR72 setup myself, comes with 2 1300 mAh twist style batteries (I prefer the fire button on these over regular ego batts), two aspire tanks, 5 extra heads, usb charger, wall charger and a case. You can get glass tanks for a few extra bucks and the Nautilus Mini Gitum suggested (AWESOME tank, btw) will work great with these batts as well. Here's a link - https://www.migcigs.com/Articles.asp?ID=279

As to juice, there are literally hundreds of vendors to choose from with rock solid availability if you need to make a change, although finding the perfect juice is an ongoing quest many of us continue to follow. I really like Mount Baker Vapor's Chocolate Mint and it's only $7.50 for 30 ml so the price point fits my budget. Here's a link to that as well: Chocolate Mint E Juice Baker Vapor - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

Hope you have good luck in finding a replacement and happy vaping!

I think many of us started with a similar feeling/outlook on vaping. I only wanted something that physically resembled a cigarette, and that feeling lasted for a while before I realized how much easier (and cheaper) it would be to switch to a small tank setup. I found a kit with a 350mah battery at my local shop, and realized I could maintain small form-factor while getting the benefits of a seriously improved vaping experience. I was really adamant about the fit-in-my-pocket idea, too, and the small kit I found satisfied that requirement. I also had this notion that it was going to be expensive, but the kit itself was less than two disposable e-cigs, and reasonably priced juice is readily available. Eventually, you will likely lose some of your attachment to the analog shape/size, and for now there are ways to ease into the next step, or you can wait until you are ready. Move to a slightly different system, and get some chocolate mint juices from 4 or 5 vendors. Use the reviews here, and elsewhere (juicedb.com can be good for a quick rundown and for searching by flavor criteria). Maybe you have a B&M store near you? If yes, tell them how insistent you are about size for portability and discretion and see what they have.

Hi. I am a newbie to this site. Bought first e cigarette as I quit smoking 3 1/2 months ago, but started getting edgy and thought this May help. I bought French vanilla flavour. No nicotine as I don't want any. Flavour ok but leaves a perfumey taste in my mouth. Can you change to just water?

This was a very informative post, thank you!!! I am new to vaping and just joined this forum tonight. I got my halo triton last week and have enjoyed it tremendously. Before that it was greensmoke and started with blu. It is amazing how much my vaping experience has improved and I am happy that after 20 years I have finally found the path away from cigarettes while keeping what I enjoy from it! But my head is spinning from all this new info, products, etc. And I have started to run into issues with burnt taste. Now I realize I need to replace the coil and may be better off with a new clearomizer altogether, like the nautilus mini.

 

[Jewblacka]

I am now steeping my e liquid, which means you use gloves to remove the drip top on the liquid and let it sit for 3-10 days. Airing it out is supposed to evaporate that weird chemically taste. My halo liquids I think improved since i let them steep but they were pretty good to begin with

If you want to change vendors but really like the cig-a-like feel, I would highly recommend the Halo G6. It's a great start into buying your own juices because you can refill their cartos, get blank cartos, get their mini-tanks, or even use a different brand cart or clearo (I use kanger e-smarts). That's what I'm using now and I love it. I don't want a big setup because I take mine with me everywhere. I get good vapor production and buying my own juices and refilling has actually saved me money in the long run

No, water will not vaporize.

What kind of electronic cigarette are you using?
Is it refillable or a disposable?

I am new to vaping and based on my research went right to the Halo Triton. Haven't smoked analogs for over a week. Nothing else worked for me before. I like HALO. All their flavors are pretty good. They ship fast and have good customer service. I also like that they only use FDA approved ingredients in all their juices. To the OP they do have a chocolate mint flavor. I just got a new order recently and sent a free 10ml of Malibu which is terrific.
