I've been making my own juice with various success, but now I'm trying to convert my wife.

She tried a few of my mods and complained that they're too big and not looking like a cigarette. So I'll be getting her a 510 or a mini ego.

More importantly, she doesn't like vaping my fruity and cheesecake-y juices, the weirdo :) She wants something that tastes like Marlboro lights. I tried giving her Gandalf, she said it's better than strawberry, but tastes too much like pipe tobacco.

So the question is, which flavors can I get from ecigexpress that would taste closest to Marlboro Lights? I realize that tastes are subjective, just need a good starting point.

Thank you!
Commie

I don't know about the ecigexpress stuff, or DIY tobacco, or any other tobacco from first had experience for that matter, but a friend of mine got the premade US Light from myfreedomsmokes and really liked it (Marlboro light smoker). If all else fails, it may not be a bad idea to start with a vendor juice to get her started while you try to make a DIY juice she loves.

As for the PV, I would recommend the Volt from smokelessimage for her. I got them after using a mod for about 6 months, and I really love my little Volts. Go for the upgrade ($1 per battery) to the 78 mm, it will give you about 3 hours of battery life. My mod is still my main vape, but I use the Volts quite frequently too. If she is resistant to give up the taste and feel of the real thing, why not make it as easy as possible to make the transition? They are running 26% off for their black friday sale, use code super26.

After over 2 1/2 years of vaping, I still like tobacco flavored juices. Most of the sweet juices I liked are carto killers, anyway. I've settled on Desert Tobacco (formerly Camel) from Awesome Vapor. I also like Dekang DK-TAB and Red USA MIX in an 80pg/20vg mix. Dekang Desert Ship is a little bland to my taste.

She also might like RY-4 juices. Everyone has a variation of that. It's a tobacco base with caramel undertones and sometimes a hint of vanilla.

These aren't DIY related, but you might have to find something she likes to compare with what you are trying to create. It would be easier if she picked one and gave you a baseline for a recipe.
