New Forum Member - THANKS!

[cctealeaves]

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate and thank you for all your advice! I have been lurking your forum for quite some time now and I finally decided that I needed to officially join your group, mostly so that I can say THANKS! So, THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!

I feel like I already know so many of you, so it only seems fair to let you know a little about me. I got my first e-cig about 5 years ago. You know, the cig-a-like. It was just ok. Helped when I couldn't smoke, but that was about it and I have been using that off and on for the last 5 years, mostly off. Then about 6 or 7 months ago my stepson came over and showed me his new vape. WOW! I didn't realize how much these things have progressed! So I started lurking! And learning! I can now say that I have been stinky free for 4 months and LOVIN' IT!!! For the first time in my 35+years of smoking (at one point 3+ PAD) I now feel like a NON smoker vs. an EX smoker! I just have absolutely NO desire for the real thing anymore and that alone is what truly amazes me! My biggest problem has been finding GOOD juices. And since I'm a cheapskate (although I prefer the term, thrifty), I decided to start making my own, which so far, is going quite well! They have been every bit as good, and quite often, better, than what I can get at the local B & M. Now I just need to finish tweeking! So, if anyone has any good recipes out there I would love to hear them! In the meantime I guess I will still lurk in the DIY areas until I get enough posts to start contributing! Until then, THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

Welcome to the forum, CC!!

So what is your current set-up? What types of flavors do you like?

 

[cctealeaves]

Hi and thanks! I've been using ego batts with V4 tanks. Cheap and reliable. I think it will be a while before I upgrade the equipment, so far cheap and reliable is good, very good! LOL As far as flavors go, I usually like the fruity and/or creamy ones. I recently made one I call "Chai Tea Flan" that has proven to be quite interesting, just needs some finishing touches though! Mostly I like the tropical fruits, but knowing that flavors like banana and pineapple can be tank crackers, I'm being careful! I've heard that those are typically ok to use in plastic tanks once they've been mixed and just so long as you're not using too much, but still not sure how much is too much! HAHA

 

[Kaezziel]

Yeah, be careful with citrus and cinnamon flavors, too, if you're using plastic clearos.

I tend to vape more fruit and creamy vanilla flavors myself. Can't stand banana, so that's easy to avoid... LOL

A good "thrifty" upgrade to your eGo batteries is the iTaste MVP 2... they're around $40 if I remember right, and would let you get more out of your flavors with the variable wattage. You could keep using the same V4s until you decide to try something different... if you've been lurking around here, that's probably not new information for you though...

If you've got any questions, just ask away. I've been vaping for around 5 years non-stop and there are many other members here who are very experienced as well. We'll try to make sure that you don't drift back to the stinkies!!

Welcome to ECF!

Kaezziel - yea, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't find any cinnamon red hot flavors! So I bought some flavoring to make my own, but just haven't had time yet! Although I did get some glass tanks which just came in the mail this week, so soon, very soon! And my stepson recently got a iTaste, looks neat for sure!

mightymen - Thanks! Been trying to catch myself up...hence the lurking! LOL

 

[Kaezziel]

I've seen the cinnamon red hot flavors (premixed) what I haven't seen is true cinnamon spice flavor... I'd LOVE to add that to some of my fruity juices!

Welcome aboard

Welcome to the forum!!!

 

[cctealeaves]

Funny! And in my experience, as far as premixed goes, no cinnamon red hots, only cinnamon spice! Come to think of it, it's always in something like an apple pie...never just cinnamon spice on it's own.

 

[cctealeaves]

Thanks for all the welcoming aboards! I know that I am WAY past due and should have done this MONTHS ago! ---hanging my head---

Hi everyone, I started vaping a few weeks ago back home in Australia and came to Singapore for a holiday/family visit and realised I forgot to pack my eliquid! Therefore I began the frantic search online to see where I can find some but to my dismay, it's illegal in Singapore... So I'm just gonna be posting the required number of posts before I can get some information, I suppose? cheers.
