Hi Silver!
Started smoking when Carter lost to Reagan and became old enough to have political opinions.
I've been told and think it's the case that we simply have dead taste buds that can't perceive anything more delicate than the tar we've bathed our tongues in for decades. I, too am of limited funds, but have bought from at least four vendors, one of which I ordered with triple flavor, extra throat hit, the works. Those two were the same as all the others, smelled pretty good, but at most a
hint of flavor. I do all that inhaling/exhaling through the nose, but the tongue stays numb. I've been told that fruit flavors, which naturally is what I would like, are the mildest tasting, so I got some menthol and some Jarem Black. I really dislike menthol, mint, strong cinnamon candy, but was desperate to try. The menthol did bust through my numb tongue, even cleared out my sinuses! But I still don't like the taste, it's too much. The Jarem Black tastes like wet mold.
I am waiting for an order from Kick Bass and hope something happens. Despite the problems, I smoke half as much as before and it happened very quickly. I put out the cig and reach for the pv because it smells better, and my tongue doesn't dry out from the smoke and heat. I also don't burn holes into my bedding and clothes!
Bottom line for me is that I will continue to experiment as budget dictates. I think that some vendors charge too much for the juice; I use a tank and my oral fixation is severe. I am always sucking on something, went from stopping thumb sucking at 12 to smoking at 14. I think the tanks use a lot of juice, but my lr carto also uses a lot. I use the carto for severe nic cravings, and the tank for all day maintenance.
Good luck to you. TG
