If i where going to buy menthol i would ,and do use this one. Its from Good Prophets, the GP USA liquid Minthol flavor. Right now a 10ml bottle is 2.99. Its an in house blend and i personally find it to be one of the best that i have tried. If you would like to pm me i also would offer you a small bottle of what i use all day that i personally make for myself but its not for sale nor would i accept money for it.

I spent way too much at first, and was getting frustrated, too. I bought a lot of sample liquids and didn't like any of them - they burned my throat, hurt my lungs, and I was coughing like crazy with every hit. Then I tried 100% VG liquid and it was all good. I also found non-fillered cartos that I love. And it took a while, but I'm now actually saving money. I even let myself buy pretty much any new gear that interests me and I'm still spending about half of what I spent on smoking. You're exceptionally lucky if you find your happy place with vaping on your first (or second) order. But the money you spend isn't wasted, it's just spent on education.

non filtered cartos ? tell me more! are they like the 901-T atomizer/tank combo that will fit my 808 ?

I did try 100% VG ( shout out to Iusedtoanalog ) and it helped a bunch!!! but noticed after 2nd refill the cartos kind of get hard to draw. Well , today... I mixed half and half and its perfect. just hope the cartos hold up.

I did manage to sell most of the Cartos I didnt like and traded for a few , so at least I didnt lose my shirt there. and yes , I learned a valuble lesson. I am sticking to menthol period. This is not going to be a "Hobby" but I do understand there will be some costs involved ( More than I expected ) , to find "My Vape" and stick to it.

No, not like tanks. I've become a big fan of gotvapes fluxomizers and visions. They have a vendor's forum here if you want to see videos and reviews. GotVapes The fluxomizers really need the seals modded, so probably aren't your cup of tea (though it is a very simple mod), and the visions only come in 510 threading as far as I can find. I think they are working on getting them for 808 threading, but not there yet. The visions are out-of-the-box easy and good, so maybe you could get an adapter. Both of them work well with my thick VG liquids. The visions seem expensive, but mine have lasted for about 3 months already and still going strong.

hi jays1fan & welcome to ECF:)..if no sponge or filter..i take it to mean from "dripping" to using carto without the filter..like the micromizer..i do like it very much if only from a pack of 5..U likely to find 1 or 2 that leaks(that is the problem with plastic tube unlike metal ones..for what it is worth,micromizer is a good vape and i enjoy the flavor i vape as if i am "dripping"..do try ..just hope U get to use all in the pack of 5..regards mafig ps the micromizer also has a LED that lits up when in use,a good way to know all is working when U vape and hold 1.2 ml of juice..follow the instruction well for refilling,it is on the box

Scott,
I started with the e-cig again also, being a smoker for 40 years with a 3 pack a day habit, I know quitting won't be an over-night thing, "It will be a work in progress". Don't give up!!!! So what if you have a few real cigs between the e-cig, you'll find a flavor or two you'll enjoy, and soon have less and less real cigs. Want something sweet try Strawberry Fuzz from Altsmoke, or a mild tobacco taste try 555 from Volt. Just don't give up.

I wouldn't recommend the micromizer x7 to a new and frustrated vaper. They have some issues. Leaking, like mafig mentioned, some are getting a lot of dry hits, some other issues. They're working on improving them, but anyone who doesn't want to have to fiddle with something that isn't quite ready for prime time ought to wait and let the hobbyists work out the kinks in these.

I found the flavor V2 Menthol. Their Juice is just too high.

I would suggest sampling other, less expensive juices from other vendors. I'd also find out what PG/VG mix v2 uses in their cartos - I can't imagine it's a trade secret or anything. There are lots of reputable juice vendors who offer inexpensive sample packs and allow you to choose the flavors you want to try. Also, by buying them in liquid form instead of in cartos if the TH is too strong you can always add a drop or two of VG (available at Walmart or most pharmacies cheaply). Main thing: don't give up on yourself. Look around on this forum and you'll see how many success stories there are, and that in many cases full success didn't happen right away, but that's okay. Because for every one of us, every cigarette we didn't smoke is a win. Every one you missed is a little victory, both to your finances and to your health... and every dollar you spent getting to where you are represents a little victory for your education, so don't worry about it... it was all money well-spent.

Whether you choose to call it an investment in your future and continue forward, or call it a waste and give up the experiment in vaping is of course entirely up to you, but I believe I speak for a lot of folks here when I tell you I hope you'll keep trying and be patient with yourself. If you can keep thinking of all the cigarettes you'd have smoked that you DIDN'T because you were vaping instead, and keep remembering every one of those was a battle won, you will see you're already 'way ahead in the game.

Blessings from my cave, & happy vaping! :toast:
 
The good side and downside to vaping is it is all trial and error. The good side because there are so many options in setup as well as flavor, nic level, etc. Downside is it does take some patience and a little investing, but luckily these forums allow you to really research and get so many different opinions to guide your way. Keep at it though.

thanks guys for ALL the support. Very excited , I went ahead and ordered some 901-t atomizers / tanks and was told they fit my 808 batts.
I started playing around with some juices yesterday. Love the V2 Menthol , I think it has the best flavor. But since it is 100% PG , I could not go above 6mg for the TH. So I mixed it with a couple of 100% VG Menthols and Wintergreen juices and they are 12mg. I will just experiment until I find the perfect menthol combo of pg/vg mix.

go through the boards and find different places to buy juice. many of them are way better than the prepackaged kinds.

no longer needed ( at least for now ). V2 Brand Menthol is Fantastic , and mixed with some VG menthol from another made it almost perfect. I am hoping the 901-t things I just ordered will help with not wanting to fill cartos all the time except for when I leave the house.

Why dont you try a vendor who has really small bottles for cheap?
this place has 6ml bottles, for only $3!! Thats a good deal, and you can choose you pg/vg ratio. If the TH is killing you, make it a higher VG mix
Parkes Vaping
You can get a 5ml here for $2.69, you can adjust the nic, but not pg/vg ratio. At least you wont pay alot for testing flavors.
E-Liquid
Also, you can go on the forum here for swapping. Post what you need to get rid of, and tell folks what you are looking for so you can trade. Then maybe you can get free juice.
Whatever you do, keep your chin up, and keep trying. Sometimes it takes awhile before you find what works! Good luck!

I DID try a new vendor ( as I stated above ) and love them mixed with the V2 Juice. Plus I got 10ml for $2.99

If you do a Google for "clear and easy tanks", it's kind of like an 808 clearomizer.
I think i got those at cigeasy.com . I didn't like the mouthpiece though and when i used a drip tip it leaks
I love fluxomizers, as long as you stand them up.

as with any good cook, write it down as you change the recipe along with how you did or did not like it.
