Hi! I am very new to e-cig and everything else that comes with it
I am actually not a smoker, but I need to convert and educate my dad on e-cig, so I was hoping to get some help :)

I ordered the starter kit from puresmoker.com since so many members recommended
Platinum hybrid kit is the product I got, and it came with standard Marlboro cartridges, so he can see which strength he likes and etc
I don't think he bought the taste 100% :(
I didn't buy any new cartridges nor liquids because I wasn't sure which one is most similar to the real tabacco taste or if it's not tobacco taste, the best possible one (so he can stick with e-cigs not analogs)
I was looking on ebay and found "M" flavor from seller e-cig-sales. Is 555 a brand for cigarettes?

So could you please recommend some good cartridges and/or liquids a 50 year old man would like?
Thank you so much! :wub:

Try the camel 36mg from Totally wicked. That stuff has some serious kick, which is important for replacing analogues at first. If it's too strong, you can cut it down with glycerine.

555 is a brand of cigarettes, yes. I think I've also heard something about 555 liquid helping to keep atomizers clean, but don't quote me on that.

I've also heard good things about the Johnson's creek flue cured.

hope this helps

I personally like the fluid at Truevapor. I would have him try Turkish Blend (My favorite) or French Pipe (I haven't tried that one but I have heard good things about it and a quite a few suppliers carry it) 36mg or 24mg. You also need to explain to him ahead of time that it will never taste just like an analog. If he goes in looking for that taste he will never be satisfied. If he is missing the bite of an analog tell him to inhale directly into his lungs instead of drawing into his mouth then inhaling. One coughing fit cause by the bite of an e-cig is usually enough to convince them that it is an equal to an analog and that e-cigs are an excellent alternative to them. Once you find a flavor he likes you have it nailed. If you can get him smoking it along with his analogs that is a great step. Then if you can convince him to smoke it exclusively for a couple of days when he falls of the wagon and has a analog it will taste like he licked an ashtray and that was at least enough to convince me to just keep vaping. I am a former chain smoker. I always had a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Best of luck.

Oh and I forgot to add that if he has a heart condition or any other health problems I wouldn’t suggest giving him anything at all without consulting his doctor.

I'm a converted 2 pack a day smoker, Camel non-filters was my brand of choice. None of the flavors I've tried taste "exactly" like what I was used to, but many come close. I found the transition was easiest with the Camel flavor (I use Vaporecigs premium juice) strong and very close to a full flavor cigarette. It only took me one full day to set down the analogs however not with the starter pack.

That marlboro flavor that comes with alot of the starters is a menthol-esque flavor that is a little too sweet for my bar-room smoking habits. It wasnt until I tried a few of the other Tobacco flavors (Camel, 555, virginia and hilton) that I settled on one that gave me the death-o-licious flavor i was used to.

If I were you, I'd get him a sample pack - I think puresmoker does one?

Definitely get the sample pack from puresmoker and get it in the high nic level. My favorate along with many other long time smokers is risky juice.
And I suggest you watch Scot's video on how to use and maintain an e-cig which includes using the liguid. Here is the link:

YouTube - DSE 901 E-CIG USER TIPS AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Good luck
