Just received my Joye eGo!

[Ghoov]

Amazing amazing amazing! I just received my Joye eGo from VaporKings.com and a couple of impressions so far... BTW, this is my first time vaping, I guess you could call me a vaping virgin

1. I ordered my kit late on Tuesday the 26th and received it this morning, the 29th - that is really fast so kudos to VaporKings for fast response and shipping. I will be ordering from you again!

2. One of these was for me and one was for my son. We've been wanting to get off of analogs for awhile and thought that we would be better able to do it if we both vape.

3. REALLY easy to set up and great instructions were included - very easy even though we were initially a bit intimidated.

4. I ordered menthol (18mg) and the kit came with Red & White (24mg). I'm a menthol girl and my first impression was that it was slightly toothpastey but actually refreshing and I liked it... already clear that I'll be ordering other flavors and especially fruit

My son smoked Camel analogs and used to smoke Marb Reds so we thought the red & white would be great for him but he is not quite as thrilled with the flavor. In trying it myself, I thought it tasted kind of like pipe tobacco. I think it was really clear to me that this was not going to be exactly like the analogs but don't think he was as clear in his expectations.

We're going to have to find something that is a little closer to Camels and I've seen the "Kamel" juice so was wondering if anyone could offer some insight there - we're going to have to order more carts pretty soon... like in the next day or so.

Will come back and keep updating but so far, I am NOT sorry that I have crossed over to vaping and that one analog left in the pack is going in the trash

just ordered one today so I will be right behind you quitting! good luck

 

[Ghoov]

WOO HOO TAZ! I'm so so happy that the analogs are going to be a thing of the past, seriously happy about that.

Welcome to the party and congrats on your vaping deflowering. Good call on the choice for your first time.

I wish I could help you with the tobacco flavors but I found when I quit, that the last thing I wanted was tobacco. Having said that, I did find one "tobacco" flavor that I like called Hypnotic Mist from Freedom Smoke USA. Welcome to the ECF and congratulations on starting your transition to vaping! You too, taz666!

I've been smoking menthols so ordered 2 methol juices from different vendor. So far only tried 1, but i'm already hooked on strawberry banana. In short, I've been vaping for a week and I prefer fruit, vanilla than the tobacco ones. I have menthol ultra 36mg (FSUSA) for craving moments.

 

[mauzey]

it's been hard for me to find a good tobaco flavor as well, but the best one I have found was Wicked Vapor's "Winstonian", It tastes more like the smell of a fresh pack of cigarettes when you first open them.

J~

Congrats, I hear they are really nice

 

[Liv2Ski]

Try some Halo - Freedom Smoke for a milder tobacco or for strong (unfiltered) try the Torque 56.

For fruit flavors, I Looove Vapor Bomb Peach and Raspberry In the custom section choose 2 flavors both as peach, and raspeberry separately and you will get double flavor.

I just recived about 10 minutes ago, pineapple, blackberry, passion fruit which is supposed to be awesome, and more peach and raspberry. I find their flavors clean with no chemical taste and I have ordered from many vendors.

I have not enjoyed any tobaccos, but coffee, expresso, or capuccino are good, rich, non sweet flavors. By the way, the fruit flavors are not too sweet to me, just like carbonated water with fruit essence. Just so your expectations are in line.

I love my ego.

I am new to vaping also and I really recommend being careful about these "tobacco flavors". I'm not exactly sure what people are thinkin when they call most of the crap out there "tobacco".. Very irritating to me as I spent a lot of money chasing it. Take for example someone recommended halo to you.. Me too.. Halo tastes absolutely nothing like a cigarette.. It's expensive.. That would be the last one I would recommend. They will say.. Taste is subjective. No, I know what a cigarette tastes like.. Guess they forgot. Basically, nothing tastes like burning tobacco except burning tobacco. Best suggestion I could give is try backwoods brew 555... It has a nutty flavor but the closest I have found.. If you think cigar flavor would work for you.. Most can duplicate that flavor ok.. Good luck

 

[bubba2u]

you guys are killin me................. i am still waiting on my first pv!

 

[Ghoov]

You guys are amazing and I knew that you'd come through with some great suggestions. I'm not locked into having to replicate an actual cigarette so maybe that's why this transition is easier for me. He, on the other hand, is glaring at me from across the room because his doesn't taste like a Camel regular LOL.

I have to say that I'm preferring the vape since I don't have to smell the smoke which was always awful to me.

Here is the deal for many people - including myself. Do NOT think of it as a smoking replacement where the choice is like to vape or analogs. If someone like him wants the exact taste and all that goes with an analog - or not vape - he isn't going to vape. Simple as that.

Don't look at it that way. Simply something to do and try and play with. Eventually the entire thing will grow on him as he toys with it. Trust me.

He can smoke and use this when he wants....the more he uses it...the more he will like it... and less he will like cigs.

You will find many people still smoke - just far less. And after they vape, longer and longer - they like the taste of cigs - less and less.

That was me that suggested it. Many like it and it gets good reviews. $20 for 30 ml vs $16.50 is not "Expensive". So one man's crap is another fillet. If you ask someone what they like, tastes ARE subjective. While BwB 555 is good (and yes I have it) I prefer Torque 56. Never stated it tatses like a cig since nothing does and no after smoking 1.5 PAD for 28 years I have NOT forgotten what a cig tastes like. So you may have to try a few until you find what YOU like. Keep that in mind when you ask for an opinion on something as varied as taste.

 

[TrippH]

Why did you use the term "unfiltered" then. Unfiltered what? Vanilla bean? That's just it tastes like. The lady asked for something to help her son adjust and you suggested an "unfiltered tobacco flavor"... I read a lot of statements when I made a halo Oder a while back and really thought it would taste like a cigarette.. The bottles were $25 then and I tried 3 different flavors. That was an expensive mistake for me. I just wish people would think before they suggest something that tastes good to them when someone wants an analog flavor. Halo doesn't taste like ANY tobacco in the world or even come close. Unfiltered, lol..... I'm just being a jerk because I wasted so much money trying to duplicate an analog on these so called "tobacco flavors"... I hate to see anyone else do the same. Sorry

 

[Ghoov]

Much like anyone else here, I definitely don't want to start throwing my money down a hole trying to find an exact substitute for analogs... even if it were remotely possible, it is definitely subjective and one person may like something whereas another will think it's akin to cow pie. I tried his and yes, it was kind of awful actually - lots more vapor, serious throat hit but a little to chemical tasting for me. He described it as being like an asthma inhaler.

We're trying a few different things and I'll let you know how it goes. Honestly, I smoked Marb menthol lights and my "menthol" flavored cart is nothing like them but I still like it and my sinuses are feeling really clear right now so maybe it's a coincidence but it seems to be helping on that front.

All this is why I would really recommend people looking into switching to a pv really research everything here, take a day or two and just decide. But know that you are going to be trying different things until you find what you like - that is unless you are lucky enough to score right away but something tells me that is a rare thing.

 

[smash54]

Good for you

I think expectation plays a big role in these PV's as far as the juice goes. Now that I own over 40-50 flavers by 10 different vendors I am now realizing that what I am looking for does not exist. Now I am enjoying my different juices more and more.

 

[TrippH]

I just wanted to advise you to be careful when you hear those terms like tobacco flavor, unfiltered, Marlborough, maxboro, kamel, reds, nuport, even pall mall or Paul mall... People on this forum use that tobacco term so loosely. I guess it's because vendors call some sugary crap they can't think of a name for a name similar to a name brand cig. I bought into all that. I guess that's why they do it. There's always a sucker, lol.. I laughed at that "asthma inhaler" reference, btw... I don't know what one of those tastes like but I imagine it's ugly, lol... I can just imagine someone ...... off with a flavor like that, glaring at u as u type, while your content for now with your flavor. There is a new poll I saw today about favorite juice vendors. Maybe that would help you. I wish I had found a vendor that way, told em what I was looking for, and let em hook me up... $400 later, I found one, they don't taste exactly like an analog. The closest I've found though. Backwoods brew. 555 in particular . Good luck!
