Hello all! Swboats here! Analog cigarette smoker for 20 years, vaper for 9 years. Back in 2011, I walked into my local tobacco shop where I bought all of my tobacco and tunes. I had been rolling my own analog cigarettes for a few years. I actually really liked rolling my own. I rolled Gambler Gold tobacco in Gambler filter tubes using an absolutely awesome Premier Supermatic machine.
Every time I went into that store, however, I was completely fascinated by the little Cig2o e-cig kit. So, on that day in 2011 I decided to buy the kit and see what e-cigs were all about. They hadn't been around very long, at least not in my little town. And they certainly weren't popular. But I figured, what the hell, it's only $12. I brought the kit home, took heat from my (now) ex-wife for "blowing money on something stupid." After charging it, I screwed on a cartridge and took a normal puff. Boy was I surprised! It had throat bump, it tasted great, and it was a very pleasant experience! I can remember using it the rest of that day, completely amazed that I wasn't having any craving for a real cigarette. Later, when I went to bed, I realized that I could smoke in my bedroom because there was no smell at all! The next morning I woke up, took a few puffs, and I even got a bit of a buzz off of it! I continued using my little Cig2o kit that day, only stopping to recharge it. I went out the next day and bought several packs of cartridges. I was hooked. I never smoked another cigarette again.
I did run through the flavors they had. It ended up that my favorite was "Gold Tobacco." Two years later we moved from Indiana to Oregon. I found another local tobacco shop that sold the cartridges. I did begin to notice that I was going through them much faster than I was before. It was at that point that I decided to look into a refillable tank system. Enter the Vision Spinner variable voltage 510 thread vape pen. I paired it with whatever cheap refillable clearomizer I could find. Of course, clearomizers can get expensive as well, so I started researching. I ended up getting the Aspire Nautilus tank in 2015. This was a big deal, because it held a lot of juice and all I needed to buy were coils and juice! Later that year, I upgraded my Vision Spinners to the Aspire CF Mod 18650. I was finally able to get the taste and the entire experience to a much higher level.
About 2 months ago, I began looking at my seven inch long monster rig and noticed that everyone else was using Pod AIO systems. The search was on once again. Being a huge fan of Aspire, I went with the Nautilus AIO, because I already had a TON of BVC coils that could be used in their new Nautilus pod system. I'm so happy with my setup now. It is absolutely perfect for me.
Unfortunately, I'm now facing the biggest issue I've ever had with vaping. You see, when I went to a tank system, I began buying Cig2o juice, in my favorite "Gold Tobacco" flavor that I've been using, and loving, since 2011. No other juice has come close to making me want to switch and I've tried a BUNCH! So now, Vapage has been out of the Cig2o/Vapage (both are exactly alike) e-liquid for a couple of months now. I have run out and I can't find it anywhere. I've tried several different brands and I just can't find anything that I like. I even looked up the top tobacco flavor e-liquid for 2020 and tried almost all of them. Still, I've found nothing that I like. I read somewhere that the Cig2o/Vapage juice is just a generic Chinese mass manufactured liquid, but I'll be damned if I can find any that taste the same. So, if anyone knows more about it than I do, please let me know! I look forward to many conversation in this forum!
Cheers!
