In descending order of priority
Safety
Throat hit
Vapour
Price
Taste

unfortunatley, the most important is the least well known.

I would happily pay twice the cost for a proven Safe liquid, from a supplier with decent quality controls, with a reasonable hit and vapour level and as long as it didnt taste foul, i'd live with it.

Rochdale...sadly.
The results thus far are quite depressing and doesn't give any impetus what so ever for manufacturers or retailers to ensure the safety of their product.

Thankfully, it seems that pillbox is setting the standard in that regard but there is still a long way to go.

Yes smoking is incredibly bad for you which will shorten your life and reduce the quality of your life.

It would be nice if we could know for definite one way or the other the FACTS in relation to health of the e-liquids we use.

When I started e-smoking I spent a lot of time looking for a liquid which gave me the same throat hit as a real cigarette. I remember receiving a sample from Partysmoker one day which I really liked. I called it Powerpuff (which is now the official name) and it had an enormous throat hit. I'm almost sure that they toned it down a bit when it got released because it never gave me that same feeling again when I tasted it again a few months later. Later they released Partypuff which has more throat hit than Powerpuff so that's my favorite at the moment.

Having to choose only one, I voted for taste (after all, I love cigarettes, and I have been smoking these for years with full knowledge of how bad they are). My second choice would have definitely been safety, though. But, boy, taste is important for me....

My normal cigs come in "combusted tobacco" flavor, and I like that quite a bit. Once I figured out (very quickly) that things like classic tobacco and marlboro really taste quite bad, I went for other flavors (fruits, vanilla), to reinforce the notion that this is a different way to get nicotine, but it is not really smoking.

Hi Cash,
interestingly you voted for harshness/throat hit....but if i remember correctly from another post i seem to recall you mentioned that u use either low or no nicotine carts!!!
I assumed the throat hit/ harshness would have been higher with more nic input??
I use janty carts high (16mg) in JK but dont get enough throat hit so am on the verge of buying higher nic content in ejuice.... am i going the wrong way about this as i would prefer not to have higher nic.....um confused, any advice welcome....thanx
ps quite new at this, been 10 days.

I use my own menthol low juice personally almost exclusively. Its the only flavor I like day in and day out. Someday's I feel like using other juice, but menthol low is my main vice ...

From the little 36mg I have tried, it really put me back in my seat. both in harshness and the nic hit itself. 2 puffs and I was done ...

Bump. Nicotine strength has only one vote, that's surprised me, I thought there might be a few more people who were primarily concerned with getting high nic hits.

Flavour/Taste is just ahead of Harshness/Throat hit.

hi Kate, it's surprised me too that no vote for Nic strength,I think most of us addicted to something else beside nicotine.
would like to hear from 0 Nec smoker if they are addicted to E.smoking in general.
