Glad to hear it Sweep !

So you run 18mg juice... how many Analogs did you used to smoke? ... I'll bet I went too strong on this first order... I think i got one flavor in 36mg and the rest in 24...

I was on the verge of clicking "Order" on some RY4 (from the reviews seems to be a good starting flavor) at 24 mg but i thought I really better wait for the kit to get here (should be today) so i can do some test vaping before ordering (More) stronger juice than I need... I can and probably will get a bottle of VG at work today just in case.

Seems to me that In the end I am probably going to end up with a large variety of flavors and strengths to either relax and vape on, or quash a craving when needed.

P.S. right before this I found a site to buy cobalt and amber glass dropper bottles ... I had no idea they were so cheap lol ... I will Definately be doing some DIY mixing sometime in the future.

I used to go through a pack a day. 20 analogs. I did do a looot of reading before settling for the 18 mg juice, and actually have considered ordering something stronger. However, I figure that if I upgrade the strength, then I for sure will "OD" on it... I'd rather chainvape in the evening than have to take care not to get TOO much :p

And I smoked about half a pack (10) per day and had to go to 36mg to knock down the cravings.

Everybody is different so finding the right juice is a personal journey.

At 24mg, I had to chain vape plus an occational analog. And some folks can start at 6mg and drop the cigs right away. Amazing difference.

You'll find what works. As long as you don't drink it, it does take some effort to nic OD with a PV.

So I Ordered some PG and VG at work today, I'm a Pharmacist so I just dropped an order to our supplier, same as I would do for any customer who made the request

I have to say that I don't really Know what people are paying, but I ordered 480 ML of each (why not) the VG was like $3.50 and the PG was like $7.50 so its going to cost me like $11.00 for nearly 1L of "Blank Juice" that is USP rated.

I don't know what people pay on average but seriously if its more that that or of questionable origin / quality ... you should just stop by your local pharmacy and ask... Like I said this isn't perk of working in the biz, I'd gladly do it for anyone that came by. We get orders pretty much M-F so really most of the time you would only have to deal with a 1-2 day wait...

Just a thought...

P.S. GO KU !!

Don't fret the numbers Grim. You'll know when you vape too much nicotine.

Well provided that you know if you get hiccups, headaches, stomach aches, or sudden loose bowels. I sure hope you know when those things are happening, because it could be real embarrassing if you didn't. Your body will tell you if you are getting too much in your system and it usually starts with a light-headed feeling.
Yeah, so true. I vaped myself into a stomach ache when I first got my Tornado... I just couldn't put it down. Such a big difference from my blu's. Now I've found the happy medium... eat A LOT and vape A LOT!!! Also drink a lot of water.

Welcome Grimm!

I was like you...I was looking into the e-cig and somehow ended up here, and HOLY CRAP, am I glad I did! The rest is history.

If you are anything like some (most) of us, it does turn into a hobby. I order something at least once a week. Of course, using cartomizers (I have a pink KR808), I try to make one small order every Friday (I get paid every week), so I don't run out of cartos. I also save a handful of empty ones just in case.

I probably have enough juice to last me the most part of the next year (I mainly get the 6ml sizes, if I can find them), but I still order, because I like to try new flavors. I also don't have ANY tobacco drops except for RY4 (love it), and 555 (it's growing on me). I still to fruity/sweet flavors. My current fave is TastyFinger (butterfinger), and have been vaping it for a week straight.

I don't think you'll find a place that has better info, reviews, or PEOPLE anywhere on this big ole internet. I'm here to stay.

I've always been a big fan of flavored cigarettes, and I loved the Camel flavored series (the ones that came in the flat tin). I was very disappointed when they stopped making them. I particularly loved the flavor (I forget what it was called) with the yellow writing, that tasted exactly like good scotch. I've never been able to find anything similar, even after trying several "whiskey" flavored pipe tobaccos. Does anybody know of a comparably flavored juice?

But much as I enjoyed them, I didn't get as worked up over new cigarette flavors as I have about vaping. New cig flavors were also few and far between, as opposed to new PV models and juices, which seem to come out every week. I suppose that if the biggest complaint I have against vaping is that it's "too awesome", then I probably shouldn't be complaining at all.

First of all, love the avatar! The little tins of camels were their special blends. I forgot the name of the scotch flavor, but my favorite was Izmir Stinger which was one of the earlier flavors. It came in a red/black/silver tin and I believe was a cogniac flavor. Hm, now that I think of it maybe I'll try a dash of Courvoisier in my juice :)
