I gave up analogs about 2 months ago and started out using an Ego Twist nada Vivi Nova tank. The tank more than the battery was what helped me kick cigs completely. They are much easier than cartos IMO and last a long time. It took a few weeks before I was able to put them down so I certainly understand your struggle. You might try checking out the Bamboo in stainless steel at Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail. It's sturdy it their version of the Vamo. For $43 it's money we'll spent.
Can anyone recommend a good vanilla vape? One of my biggest struggles has been finding decent juice that lived up to the hype...I know taste is subjective, but would love to hear your suggestions.
John, do you have any suggestions for juice vendors? So far it's been hit or miss finding juices that I like. Boba's Bounty has been my saving grace but I'm ready to branch out and try some new ones....
You might want to give Tasty Vapor's "Ultimate Vanilla" a try. It's darn good, and when you get the "Doubler" to go with it , you save huge $$$. I get the 1 oz. 48 mg-strength e-liquid, and the 4 oz. 0-nic "Doubler" of the same flavor for the same price - around $15-16. That way, you get 5 oz. of the same flavor for about $6-7 an ounce. Great deal. While you're there, Geoff's Blend is great, as are Markimar's Watermelon, Kretek Clove, Atomic Cinnacide, and just about everything they make. Great people and great service too.
Welcome to Tasty Vapor
Stock answer:
"There are obviously hundreds of vendors and thousands of flavors, but some of my favorite vendors/flavors are:
Backwoods Brew:
Virginia
Menthol Tobacco (great for mixing in with other Tobacco flavors, if it's too "mentholly" for you straight)
Honey Flue Nut (yum)
ROOT BEER (yum, yum)
Tasty Vapor:
Geoff's Blend (wow)
Atomic Cinnacide (like an Atomic Fireball. YUM! for six months, but then you can't even stand to smell it any more).
Kretek Clove (WOW - but it doesn't "keep" very well IMO - but again, WOW)
(Tasty Vapor is great because of their "Doublers"; flavored zero-nic juice that is 4x cheaper than the nicotinized corresponding flavors, so you can get the nic flavor in 48mg and save huge $$ by mixing the 48mg w/ the Doubler, which is more like "Quadrupler" at 12 mg strength).
Or you can go through either of these threads, where you'll find LOTS of recommendations:

Mike, mine was a stumble on, happy sappy story, and I hope you can find some use for it. I have been vaping over a year (last November). My job put in a policy prohibiting anyone from smoking on grounds. Started with a Blu tobacco flavored disposable, went on break, vaped only that on break to see if it would do anything for my nicotine craving. Went back into work not wanting to kill anyone, so assumed it worked. But from there, I was done with my Pall Malls. Went on to get a Blu starter pack, the fruity and menthol flavors to get my mind off of smoking. Sold what was left of my Pall Malls to a friend for a cut rate. My mindset is, this is what I have now, be glad it isn't cold turkey. The Blu carts run out too fast for me and the batteries and charging pack are too unreliable. I have a beautiful Volcano Inferno setup with the Tube Tank, pass through battery, and two large batteries. The Tube Tank I have is 4 ml, which lasts a full day, but they make 6ml bombers too. I feel weird vaping this huge peace pipe in public, so I have a Joyetech due to my mailbox any day for my public cig alike. If a name grabs you, Google reviews on it! I was a smoker for 22 years. The only time I quit was when I was pregnant and vomited towards the end of every cigarette. But would go right back when kids were born. Try vaping cold turkey and lose the smokes, lighter, and ashtrays. You will see those benefits immediately!
Thanks for the feedback, I will check them out! I can honestly say this is the best thing I've ever done for myself and I feel better than I've felt in years. Hang in there, you won't regret it.
Is cinnacide anything like cinnamint from KVB? It's a nice flavor in small doses and kinda in your face but tasty
That's a great story Worzel. There's so many new devices coming out it all gets confusing sometimes. I totally get the peace pipe feeling, which is why I still keep my twist close by even though I have a Provari and a Vamo clone
Still get all the effects of quitting, crazy hyper for the first week, eating everything in sight and gaining 15 lbs (curvy girls rock), some depression, but not Xanax worthy. Icky loogies. Gastro intestinal issues (being polite) and crankiness. That all subsides after a while.
Cannot recall ever sensing the taste of "plastic-anything".
Strange, since some flavours are quite good. After about 2 weeks being off t-cigs I found the vape-taste even better.
When I started the vape-thing some weeks ago, I went straight up to pro-rig PVs and found that the voltage settings were crucial factors that make or break the taste. I'm glad I never bothered with starter Kits 'n stuff like that. Voltage too low, ... the taste was too vinegar-like, too high ... like dry funky tasteless steam.
If you are mind-set on getting off the Ts, consider gambling away a hundred and a half and get some high-end device to truly find out. I wagered that right from the start and have no regrets. In fact I mighta been back burning the leaves had I started with some mickey-mouse kit.
No the clearo. In one month I have now burnt up 3 of these and had one get a hairline crack somewhere. IOW, they are as durable as an eggshell.
I passed on the Vivi Nova because my research led me to a lot of threads like this one. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/332596-vivi-nova-mini-2-5-burnt-taste-fix.html
I am probably a couple of weeks away from jumping over to the lavaube or a PV. Will see as I am fine with the eGo but honestly am tired of the hassle with the clearos.
Thanks bud. I think this was the most important lesson I pulled from ECF, that it is ok to miss smoking. I tired of being endlessly told that my desire for a cigarette was all in my head and no one could ever possibly miss or like cigarettes, because I most certainly did. Hell, I do right now, but - I puff puff puff on my eGo and it goes away.
Worzel - I come back from time to time and read these victory stories of similar souls and believe me - I find use for all of them. I had mentioned previously that the best advice I received here was to not beat the crap out of myself for actually liking cigarettes. In retrospect, that is not quite right. The best advice was to not beat the crap out of myself for having a cigarette here and there and rather celebrate the times I was vaping and not smoking. Truthfully, for me - that was really the best advice. When I was starting out, that really meant something to me. Before I knew it, I was tapering off - little by little until the day came that I was past swinging into the store for a pack. It still amazes me I no longer have cigarettes around. Who knows when the day comes that I no longer have a vaper around as well, but for now, I am thrilled to simply vape and not worry about it. God bless and thank you for your post.
Mike
If I were you, I would go to GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more and order the Vivi Novas. I have been using them exclusively for over 4 months and they are so much better than clearos. Easy to fill, easy to clean, and a fantastic vaping experience.
Back at the beginning of this thread - that was also one of my main complaints as well. The closest I could relate it to was the similar smell you get when you open a black garbage leaf bag. That smell was very similar to the taste I was getting with my eCigs. Since I have been on the eGo Twist it definitely has improved 80%, but there is still this slightly odd residue taste. Who knows, could be my wiring.
I will trade a pounding heart in my chest and ears for a slightly off putting taste.
I do agree with you, a good starter is essential. I blew significant money on the little ones and regret every penny thrown away and it definitely played a role in us giving away the eGos in the 650ma version. In good conscience we couldn't give our customers something I myself would not use.
Thanks for the post. Mike
Mike, you have a facinating and interesting story. Congrats on your successes and thank you so much for opening your resort for the vaping convention http://huntersfriendresort.com/sitemap-2/smoke-free-2013/
I am excited you finally were able to stop!. (Read all 30 pages) It was pretty quick for my husband to make the switch, but my mother still vapes a cig-a-like and smokes. I bought her a little VV unit, and made her 2 months of 18mg DIY juice for Christmas but I think the better PV and tank intimidates her a little. At least I can think, she smokes LESS than she used to on the cig-a-like. and Less is better.
HF Get the Provari!. Trust me you won't regret it. American made and the support is second to none. Get the battery extention with 2 or 4 18650 batteries (A pair always in rotation).
