I second this... I've vaped my fair share of Boba's Bounty, and I get a hint of graham crackery goodness in there. I can't say with certainty that it's my favorite, but it's easily in my top 5. For what it's worth, it's probably the most popular juice out there. Alien Visions has several other good juices too, and they generally have good throat hit and produce lots of vapor, which are all pluses when you're quitting smoking. I turn to their 555 in dark times when I feel like having something like a cigarette. It doesn't taste that much like a cigarette to me, but it seems to scratch that itch for me. I also like their Gorilla Juice and Hype pretty well, and that says a lot since I don't normally like fruity flavors and tend to stick to the tobaccos. I can also vouch for Alien Visions' excellent service and on top of it all, they're having an across-the-board 15% off sale through Memorial Day!
I know we've probably moved on past this subject, but for me, having something that didn't resemble a cigarette actually helped me to quit craving cigarettes. The PV's I've had that looked like imitation cigarettes always made me think of real cigarettes, and that would make me want one. Good luck with it! The new Lavatubes look great and I'm planning to pick one up myself down the road!
Oh boy... anyone else want to field this one? I started out at 24, but I've always had a pretty high nicotine threshold. I even tried 36 once, but decided it was probably overkill. I moved down to 18 pretty quickly, without too much difficulty. I then moved down to 12 quickly, which was difficult and perhaps a little premature. I've gotten used to it, and that's where I am now. A friend of mine started at 18 and quickly went down to 12 with seemingly no difficulty whatsoever. I don't know, maybe 18 or 24 depending on how you feel about it? Another good reason to order smaller samples at first until you figure things out.
BTW, I heartily recommended Alien Visions, but I should warn you that if you try to order at night or late in the day, you will likely not be able to. They don't take more orders than they can fill in a day and their payment system is set to close daily when it reaches that threshold. You might get lucky ordering at night, but the best time to order is usually morning-ish or early afternoon. Probably the earlier the better with this sale going on.

It's probably a good idea to estimate on the high side when you're starting out. If you vape too much, you'll just feel a little woozy for awhile and you can stop for a little while and you'll be fine. If you underestimate, you'll keep craving a cigarette. It's a little bit of trial and error, but here's a general rule of thumb:
If you smoked--------try this strength
<1/2pack/day 6-18mg.
1/2-1 pack 12-18mg
1-2 packs/day 18-24mg
2+ packs/day 24-36mg
Again, you'll have to play it by ear. That's another reason to get small bottles at first. You'll know better on your second order.
Allrighty, so I have my VV in the mail Priority, and I got some Banana Slurry, Gorilla Juice, Apple Teaser, and I think Boba's Bounty coming for trying out Juices. Hopefully they arrive at the same time, and I can muddle through how to make this work.

Cool. You'll be set, as long as you got some cartomizers. Can't forget the cartomizers!!
Which VV did you get?
While you wait, you might want to look on Youtube and search for videos about how to fill cartomizers using the "condom method". Don't worry, you won't be using condoms.

Best cartos for a lavatube are 3.0 Boge cartomizers.
You can use clearomizers also. Just try to stick as close to 3ohms as possible.
I'd stay with regular cartomizers for now. Clearomizers are tricky with 100%VG juice if it's thick. So are tanks.
Alien might thin their juice, but you need to settle on a couple juices before you get any more exotic type cartomizers.
The site you got your VV on has the best deal on cartomizers. You can get 3 packs for $20 shipped with a free drip tip.
Wait!! Edit: Surevapes.com has 5 boxes for $23 shipped. No free drip tip though.
Hope your juice comes in as quick as your VV. Nothing worse than getting a new e-cig and having to wait for 2 days to use it!!

I have this Disposable that got me started, and I do not *think* I am close to the juice limit on it. I can always make a whirlwind trip through Vegas on an epic quest for Juice if all else fails. Sounds like that could be fun too.

Or you could go to a drugstore and get VG. It'll be 0 nicotine and no flavor, but you can vape it!
I've always gotten really fast service from Alien Visions. Usually 2-3 days.
CCV will probably send you some cartomizers to get started anyway. They had a deal to send a $10 Dual Coil Mega carto for the first 100 orders, but I don't know if it's still going on anymore.
I hope you caught my edit about Surevapes.com 5 boxes of cartos for $23. That's the cheapest this side of China.

Those will work, but the Surevapes.com deal is better. Just get 3ohm Boges of whatever color.
You fill up a carto per the instructions for the condom method. Replace the plug in the top with a drip tip. As you vape it, every 20-30 hits or so, or every 15 minutes, you drip a few drops into the top through the drip tip. This way you won't have to pull that rubber plug out every time. While you are learning, it's best to take the drip tip off so you can see how the juice is absorbing. After a little practice, you'll know how much to add and you can just drip it through the top. You want to keep it wet. If you burn a carto, it's toast. Throw it out. When it's full, the top will look like a slushy. When it starts to get dry, the vapor will get thinner and weaker. That's the time to top it off. Don't let it get so dry it burns the polyfill inside. If you burn the polyfill, you'll know it cuz it tastes like .... Count on burning a couple while you're learning. Everybody does it.
When you top it off, tilt it so you drip juice down the side of the tube into the polyfill instead of dripping it in the hole in the center. When you get them and see them, it'll be a lot easier to understand. It's harder to read or write about it than to do it.

You only need to change cartos when they 1) burn out and don't make vapor. 2) you change flavors. Don't mix flavors in the same carto or 3) they get clogged and hard to suck air through.
They can be cleaned, but it's hardly worth the trouble.

I see. So after some time I should look at getting a Tank then so I do not have to fuss with all of that when I am out and about or driving? This is the same as Analogs and I will have to pull off the road to do so while out riding.
