Hallo! I think I am doing this in the right place, feel free to nudge me if not. Thanks!

I am a clove cigarette/cigarillo smoker. It happened by accident - I smoked casually for several years, and then during a period of high stress I finally got hooked. I have smoked Djarum Specials and nothing but for about 21 years. I switched to the cigarillos during the Flavor Purge a few years back (when the government forbade all but menthol flavored cigarettes).

So my partner Vargr and I started looking at these new, strange personal vaporizers. He is here on the board and made a complete switch a few weeks ago. He is doing great, and I have encouraged his quick switch over as much as I can. :toast: As clove smokers we first tried clove flavored e-liquids, but they are just missing something vital that I cannot put my finger on and they did nothing for us at all. But when we tried other flavors, we had better luck!

I am currently both smoking and using the a couple of different vaporizers: two stick batteries and two higher voltage Ego batteries a friend gave me. Having a couple of friends that vape really helps, I think. I want to make the switch completely, though I will still consider it a success if I have the couple of cigs a day I actually want vs addict smokes (if that makes sense). Health and expense are my biggest concerns, as I am disabled, chronically ill, and broke.

Anyway, I am glad that this forum is here. Fellowship of all kinds really seems to help! So thanks for being here, and I will do my best to converse here respectfully, usefully, and thoughtfully.

Thanks! I do not know what it was about the clove fluids we bought - we even tried some that were supposed to duplicate specific clove cigs, but so far no go. I will definitely try to buy some suggestions this weekend!

I greatly appreciate the hospitality here. I always worry when I join a new board that the mood may not be a good match for me, but this board seems pretty great so far. :)

I loved smoking cloves, but no e-liquid clove flavors I've tried come close to the taste of a Djarum, or even tasted good at all. Congrats on moving away from the stinkies and welcome to the forum!:toast:

Exactly - even the ones that are marketed or suggested as doing so! Maybe there is something about how actual clove numbs and soothes, I do not know. Thank you! :vapor:

Dragonfly72 - thanks!

(Is there a way to link names so a person knows I have replied to them?)

Aday - oh, excellent! Buying cloves is expensive enough as it is! **lol** But I we can already feel some wallet relief, and I am hoping to increase it a lot over then next couple of weeks. Vargr is home, and I find when I am around someone vaping, I tend to vape more than smoke.

LoneDeRanger - thank you! I know that feeling. The cigarillos they market here now are definitely not the same, but they are the closet I have found so far. Good luck! I need some too, it is proving difficult for me to actually switch.

I just ordered the Tasty Vapor Kretek. I loved cloves, especially Djarum Blacks.

The other clove liquids I've tried haven't been very good. When I get this and add it to my rotation, I'll post back with my impressions.

Tasty Vapor is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale right now. It's a good way to stock up.

Wow, thank you so much everyone! It may take a while to try all these suggestions, but I will as I can. I greatly appreciate it!

There's Vargr - so if the mods see posts from two accounts and the same Internet connection, well that may be us. But you should be able to tell us apart pretty easily, he writes better than I do. :)

Edd Harbin - that may be it, thanks!

Thanks, it is going better than I hoped practically, but not as well as my ideal - if that makes any sense!

Do you mean the regular or the Red Dragon there? I have not yet shopped at Revolver, we have mostly been using V4L.

It's called "CLOVE BLACK" ;) it's under the original Eliquid category !
