Hi All,
I've just joined. I'm on my third attempt to switch from smoking to vaping.
First attempt was with Cigalikes back in 2012 (I think). Epic fail, didn't get along with them at all.
In 2013, with a baby on the way I bought an E-go clone. Better, but it didn't last. I lived in Portugal at the time and eCigs were only just taking off. I had two and one only worked for a day. The shop was miles away, the Camels were cheap, and the eCig soon ended up gathering dust.
This time I feel far more positive. I purchased a Curve 2 (20w iStick) and have added a Nautilus tank (and a bunch of other spare tanks for different flavours). That was on Monday (it's now Sunday) and I've smoked less than a packet of analogs since - I only lit one yesterday and put it out because it tasted nasty. I'm not banning myself from analogues but am dealing with the cravings fairly well. Hopefully I won't have one at all today.
I'm smoking an assortment of liquids, mainly 12mg and mostly VG-heavy. Particularly enjoying Raspberry Custard Boom juice and Decadent Vapours Orangella mixed with a little Lime Zinger. I don't seem to get on well with anything heavy on PG - headaches and coughing...
Still haven't found the Holy Grail of anything that really works for me Tobacco-wise. Closest I've come is a mix of DV American Red and Jac Real Tobacco, but actually I'm enjoying the other flavours much more. That said, I would like a really strong cigarette type taste for when the cravings are strong. Any suggestions?
Anyway, just thought I'd share how I'm getting on. The forum has been a great source of inspiration
Here's a pic of my kit so far. Yes, I'm suffering from shiny-thing-syndrome, and have spent far more than I would have spent on cigarettes!
