I caved.....picked one up. It's sooooo much better than the Blu. I'm hoping the Triton will be even better.

Cool. Now you wonder why you waited. Honestly, I'll wager most people on the ecf started with a Blu, and the majority moved on after a few weeks. Credit where credit is due, Blu probably is responsable for so many new vapors. And responsable for a lot of their sales, as Blu leaves you wanting...

And the Triton should be even better!!

And when your friends are amazed at your success, you can give them a "deal" on a pre-owned evod...

I bought a Blu rechargeable kit, immediately ordered a V2 kit, and immediately after that ordered my Triton! In fairness, I never touched another analog after my first disposable (right before the Blu rechargeable), but the sad fact is that I wasted probably a couple of hundred bucks before finding the Triton - my research couldn't keep up with my 'must have now' thing (not sure that's ended either LOL)!

It could be nicotine level, or you might be sensitive to PG. Sounds like the liquid is too high in PG. Can't remember if Blu is all VG?

Just take it easy!! Sometimes my chest gets tight if I over vape. I might be a bit sensitive to PG also. But I haven't got juices that tell me the ratio yet, so it's an unknown to me. Nanny22 has pg issues as well.

Actually I wouldn't think that is a symptom of too much nic - but I could be wrong! Usually too much nic gives you a headache, light-headed, nausous feeling. Your lungs are starting to heal, and that brings all sorts of junk up with it (literally LOL). Also, you may be vaping too much. I'll say it before someone else does, even though I doubt this is it - some people (RARE) are sensitive to either PG or VG, but this is pretty unlikely (although it does happen). You may be vaping too much and not drinking enough. Or it could be something in the juice (some make me cough). Others will chime in!

I think Blu is 100 percent VG now that you mention it....I just ordered some 6mg with 80VG/20PG. We shall see!

I am getting very excited! I am getting sicker of this Blu disposable by the hour. However, it's all I have right now so will have to wait. I was tempted a little earlier to go to this local B&M where I saw they have an EVOD on sale for 22.00 out the door just to get off this Blu. I have juice already, purchased some this week and it came yesterday.

I started with the Blu starter kit. It was OK, but it wasn't enough to get me off the smokes. I got my Triton and it was like wow! I went from a pack a day to a pack in a week then none! I had some 24 mg for the early morning cravings, but mostly 18 mg now. The voodoo I won on the contest Wednesday I decided to try 12. If it doesn't cut it I can mix it with the 18 I have and have 15mg.

I love vaping! So many ways to make things work. Having a severe nic fit whip out the higher nic juice and kill it off. Flavors tasting off,try something totally different. Hard to believe I smoked nothing but menthol's since '75. Now I rotate 4 or 5 different flavors in a day.

Welcome on your new journey! We will be here for you!

Cool, goph. I just got some 18mg sample TriBeCa to save for emergencies. I'd be about 4 months when I usually cave. But I'm not anticipation it. I have not had any urge to smoke!!

Let me know if you think voodoo tastes different in the different strength.

Don't we smile when a noob is looking for their one flavor?? And they want it to taste just like a Marl Red!! lol.

The only thing close is to take a gunky coil, driburn it, not rinse it, then fill it with prime or torque. You'd get that nasty ash burned yuk!!

I'm enjoying my torque with a few mystic drops. And a cold Stella!

It's a crying shame that Blu is owned by Lorillard (Newports, big tobacco), but at the same time they are the only ones with the budget for a massive TV advertisement campaign, besides the Njoy Kings. Both are terrible products, so they will either help with ecig awareness, or turn people away who refuse to do their research. Let's hope it's the former.

Tell me about it. I was thinking I needed to find my ADV. To heck with that, I take three tanks to work with me all different flavors. I tried Turkish I had from a sample tin with Maker's Mark tonight. It was tasting pretty good with it. I'm loving this! Why be locked into one flavor when there are so many out there and Halo has some of the best!

Turkish is remarkably unique. Velvety smokiness, similar to Turkish silvers/royals (my go to camels for awhile). That was the standout flavor in the tobacco sampler besides Tribeca of course. None of the others are for me. I wish they would add Southern Classic to the sampler, they need to get the word out how awesome it is!

Hard to resist the allure of that red wax dipped seal on the makers! ;)

Amen to that! I'm a fan of Turkish with Sailor Jerry myself... Haven't tried twice MM yet...

Tapped out on a phone... I think

They should have another sampler set, with Southern, Capt black, Freedom, HX3, etc.

One never knows what one will like. I thought I'd love Turkish, but only in a pinch after a 2 month wait was it vapable. Not bad now, but I won't get another. I couldn't finish the third of a tank of Southern. Yet I love prime and torque!

Hey, they are all deep complex flavors, and all are well crafted. None are junk. But to each their own. And I'm glad I sampled them all.

Southern and Turkish were unvapable to me (way too much in the tobacco family) - but in all fairness, I should probably give them another try. After a couple of days working with Torque I've decided it's not for me. It's not nasty, but it just tastes too much like an old pipe, which I find disturbing LOL So there are a lot of options for people who really do want a tobacco vape imo. I have a sample of HX3 sitting on my desk which I must try soon also!

I only vape the strong tobacco flavors when I have my before dinner drink. I started vaping to get away from the smokes and there is just too many good flavors out there to stick with just one for me. Besides I don't want the dreaded vapor's tongue/fatigue... When something starts to taste a little off it's time to switch to another flavor.

I could NOT do Southern Classic..at all. I'm really loving my VOODOO and Tribeca mix. I hope I don't over do it and get tired of it. Of course not the VOODOO, but the Tribeca in it mix.

I think my next order, which I need more Tribeca, I may throw in HX3 or something like that. Besides Malibu, which one do you guys suggest for a slight menthol or mint. Not a peppermint but mint. I kinda wish Halo had a tobacco with a splash of menthol.

Try a few drops of Sub-Zero or Mystic or Menthol Ice in the tobaccos. Sub-Zero is the most menthol of the bunch, Mystic is more minty, and Menthol Ice is in between.

Maybe I'll get some mystic then. I don't have any of the menthols except Malibu. Sub-Z would be way too much for me I think
