Just like a Marlboro Light -- advice?

[rwnielsen]

I'll second some of the opinions here. I'm an "accidental quitter" and tried RY4 (Nirvana to me) because it came in a sample pack of tobacco flavors. I thought that I would like the tobacco flavors because I've smoked all my life. That wasn't the way it worked out. I've been getting by on a bottle of 555 until one or both of my juice orders get here. Either way I haven't smoked since last Tuesday and I still have cigarettes in my service truck as well as right here at home. I have ordered from V4L and Freedom Smokes and, so far, I get them all at 36mg. I do have big plans of, someday, tapering off on the strength but for now it's working out well.

Hey kgeiger -- I was wondering aloud what would give a similar taste/hit by someone else who made the switch. Thanks for the heads-up on the cheap fluid!

Backwoods brew is another I'd recommend. Their 555 and/or Ry4 are top contenders (IMHO)

...Also located smack dab between Fayetteville and Raliegh...Just noticed NC on your avatar...Bout that??

Is that Dublin County or so? I just moved from Carolina beach, and used to work Camp LeJune pretty regularly.

Dublin is a small town on HWY 87 South of Fayetteville...60 or so from here....The County is Duplin...I believe Elizabethtown is in Duplin....I'm in Harnett County...nearest town is Lillington...it's on the Cape Fear River..LeJuene /now I've got a house 30 miles South at Holly Ridge and that's Onslow County...My house is 3/4 minutes from Surf City...and yeah I know the Carolina Beach area very well also...Just came up 17 Friday late nite from the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach to Surf City..17 has a nice bypass around Wilmington now....

Winston Huh.....I've got an Aunt in Clemmons....Old girlfriend in King...Hit the dragstrip at Farmington frequently...and worked at Ziggy's a long time ago...So yeah I've roamed your way as well...Sporting a Jackson RR5/Seymore Duncaned and a BC Rich Warlok for the non-trem always in tune deal..

OK, I like vaping -- maybe even more that "regular" smoking. I have gone 4 days without analog smoking and don't miss it.

An earlier poster was right -- the NPRO cartridges don't last very long. Probably about the equiv of 10 regular smokes. I have ordered some juice from one of the recommended dealers, but don't have it yet. I figured out how to get the dry NPRO cart open. Do I just refill it halfway with juice and then recap?

Not sure how much juice you can get in there...Just drip a few at first and let it absorb into the filler. If the filler then doesn't look wet drip a few more...You want the filler to look wet...but not pooled up...The filler will absorb a certain amount of juice so go slow and keep track of how much goes in...reference for the next time. When I have mt cartos full I sit them in a water bottle cap and allow excess to drain...That will prevent flooding...Takes a few minutes to drain,,,,

I got my juice today, put it in per everyone's suggestions and it is the BOMB. I got the regular 30mg vanilla from VaporRenu and it tastes great. Only way I can describe it is it's like inhaling Christmas.

Any thoughts on how long I can keep refilling it before the filter material just goes bad?

Had my first "public" experience today ... went fishing, where I typically smoke(d) an analog every half-hour or so. There was one other guy near me on the pier and he took an interest when I took out the e-cig and took a few drags. When he saw me put it in my pocket, he laughed and said, "Hey, what was that?" He was sort of amazed after I explained it to him.

Well, closer to Statesville than anything. You know people in King? I thought *I* was the only one! I've played at Ziggy's a few dozen times. Is it still there?

I had a Charvel/Jackson in the late 80's ... still my favorite guitar I can remember. BC Rich's are great, too -- my favorite rock guitarist of all time still plays one (guy named Randy Jackson -- the other one -- from a band called Zebra). Wonderful tone.

 

[El Dee]

Don't know about Ziggys...I think it's still open but IDK...Yeah that BC is pretty thick thru the Marshall...they go well together.... I went out last Saturday...Sold my Grady-White to a friend and he fronted the trip...Left out the South Inlet/ Topsail...Usually I hit the New River Inlet...and will continue too.....Had some good strikes but only 1 King got the hooks...It was too small...How did you do on the pier...Johnny Mercer's???

 

[nozmoking]

I do mostly inland fishing ... bass, for the most part.
