Taste wise you will never match a cigarette, to me most tobacco's are actually nutty. A lot of the flavor of a cig come's from the burning elements and chemicals.

I switched to vaping because it was something I wanted to do. I loved the act of smoking, hated the fact I smelled horrible and couldn't walk up a flight of stairs and breathe normal. Some take to vaping first try other's take longer. out of my 10 good friends that smoked 8 have switched, 2 are still smoking. I started our trend 4 years ago.

You really make it,friend.It's just like a psycologic problem,we have to try our best to...

Achao, just do your thing and maybe your father will see by example. Don't be discouraged by this event. Do what's best for you.

I tried three times before it finally took. The blu or other small starter kits are not as fulfill as a larger ego style setup, and their flavors don't compare (personal opinion). In time it gets easier and even fun, So don't write off all e-cigs because of one bad brand.

Maybe suggest to him that it's not a good idea to hang around his smoking buddies, while he's trying to quit. Also, has he tried other flavors?

I wish him the best of luck!

What worked for me was not to try to find something that tasted like my tobacco cigarettes but instead to find a completely different flavor that I liked. In my case it was peach. I found that I liked the peach and wasn't trying to compare it to my cigs. In no time at all I found that I didn't WANT my pack of Camels and preferred the peach vape in its place.

What kind of vape set up did he have. It seems to me that new vapers usually have a crappy ce4+ego set up.
You quit because you want to quit, but to successfully switch you need decent equipment.

I'm a father. And I failed.

Keep at it. Tell him he needs to vape as much as 3 or 4 times the amount he smoked for the same nicotine effect. If it's cigarette taste he wants... tell him vaping isn't supposed to taste like the rotted wet muskrat.

Your Farther needs a bigger mod.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously set him up with a VV, and a carto tank, or something you would use.

I've got information man! New ..... has come to light!

It looks like Achao is in China. I suspect there may be some cultural differences at play. For instance, it may not be realistic that he not hang with smoking friends. Just a thought....

Hello Achao,

Welcome to ECF!

I think the most important 2 things are to make sure your father has a good head (the top of the e-cigarette) and good e-liquid. What was he using for equipment? The small ones that look like a cigarette are not very good and that may be the problem.

If he feels uncomfortable using the e-cigarette in front of his friends you can tell him that the e-cigarette was invented by a doctor in China, and that China makes almost all of the e-cigarette gear that is sold today. I buy almost all my gear, and many liquids from China.

Also tell him that he doesn't have to quit right away, he can use the e-cigarette to help him quit slowly. If he smokes less because he uses an e-cigarette, that is still a good thing.

Ask him what he didn't like about the e-cigarette. An e-cigarette is not exactly like smoking. But many people like it better than smoking. Make sure he tries some e-cigarettes that do NOT taste like tobacco, but taste like fruits or other things he likes to eat. I have cinnamon-roll, peach, coconut, and even litchi flavors that I like.

If you can tell us what type of e-cigarette he used we could give you a recommendation for something that might work better.


Good luck!
