Need help for dad...

[msroulette]

I got my parents (71 & 75) a kit last week. Dad's been sucking down the 18mg cowboys, and they have to place a new order. Mom thinks dad needs a stronger tobacco flavor...and I told her to up the nicotine level. Any ideas on a flavor for him? He was a Winston smoker, and had to go to Roll your own smokes years ago due to the cost of cigarettes in MI.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Try the Virginias @ 24 mg.

*hack*

I am a tobacco smoker and I didn't like them, but for the diehards, it might just do the trick.

Might be a good idea to get some of the tobacco Shop Samplers (#1 and #2) so he can get a flavor of what he might like. I got the #2, and absolutely loved the 555/RY4/Dunhall. I used to smoke Winstons as well. The Kamels have a much stronger tobacco flavor. Those are what I started with.

Maybe get him a refill/carts of higher strength of Cowboy and get some Tobacco Shop Samplers.

P.S. Marry me? LOL.

Just talked to mom again, she said he didn't much care for most of the first tobacco sampler we got. He said the french pipe "wasn't bad" Didn't like the Virginia, Kamel...and she thinks the cowbloy just may not be strong enough nic. She said "he wants cigarettes, but he ain't getting any"
Anyway, she settled on getting him stronger cowboy cartos and a 5ml bottle of Kant to try him on. She hasn't placed the order yet, so please feel free to chime in

I hate to say this, since it digs into MY stash, but try the 555.

I went through EVERY tobacco flavor before settling on this one.

Worth a shot.

Same here.

From what I've tried, I can vape 555 all day, everyday. Nothing like the taste of eating peanuts off dirty carpet in the morning with coffee.

But you may be good for settling for a higher nic level. Has he tried the Hilton or Dunhall?

What did they think of the RY4? Have they tried any of the mint/menthols in the tobacco family?

 

[msroulette]

Mom is getting a mint sampler...for dad we decided on medium cowboy juice and a wake-up stash of 36mg cartos...thanks to dracis and born for their help

Dunhill his a pretty good tobacco flavor. My buddy likes that one, and it has the smokey flavor of tobacco, but taste is so subjective that I would try Dunhill or 555,and maybe get 18 and 24mg just to try out the higher nic.

Parliament (blue) has a nice, clean tobacco flavor that really hits the spot. He may like those in 24mg or 36mg.

As a tobacco smoker (and vapist) I think for all day vape one need tobacco+nutty+dirt taste...
I would try for your dad:
555 in 11 mg
Hilton in 24 mg
(may be) RY4 in 24 mg

Just be sure to get premium cartos. I'd also go with the prem sampler--tobac tastes are so personal. Kant's worth trying, too, and don't forget that many non-menth smokers are surprised by how much they like, even prefer, menth vapes. I think it's that extra kick that does the trick. Maybe a prem menth sampler, too?

Tip... when my wife expressed an interest, I bit the bullet and ordered way more choices than probably necessary. But I wanted to maintain her initial interest and let her work through a variety of stuff to find her own way. As a non-menth cig smoker, she settled on Kant, Smilin, and a couple of menth flavs (all 18 mg). She's been cig-free for three weeks now, so I'm glad I spent the extra few bucks at the start. Good luck to your parents!

 

[msroulette]

Thanks for the input Jeffree...I should just send them a bunch of stuff myself. Dad is being stubborn and they live on a very limited budget. Mom insisted on paying me back for the ultimate kit I ordered for them...I want them to remain tobacco free, maybe on payday I order them a surprise

Oddly enough , those people I have let try my ecigs ended up liking the coffee the most.
They are all tobacco smokers. I have ended up with coffee as an all day vape too.
Might be worth a shot to try it as the tobacco flavors are so hard to really match with real cigs

 

[VapingRulz]

I agree about the coffee flavors. They seem to appeal to a broad range of vapers regardless of what they used to smoke.

I love espresso, myself.
