Hey every one! Been stalking the forum for awhile, thought i'd join in! I'm not a smoker, only ever had a puff of actual tobacco, but I've been vaping regularly for about 6 months now. Love the different flavors! Especially pluid. Seems to be kinda hard to find, but it's amazing. Currently, I have a Black Chrome silver bullet and a silver vmax with a stainless drip tip. Vivi Nova tanks on both. Any hints for strong flavors for a semi-noob? I usually vape 0% nic so that would be preferable, but for some reason i've found some vapes have no flavor without nic in them (pina colada espesially)

OHHHH! This isn't a good example - sorry....:oops: This is the kind of thing that we vapers are getting criticized for.....that vaping just like cigarettes will encourage the young who don't smoke/vape to start smoking/vaping. I personally hate to hear that someone that has never smoked has taken up vaping...sorry.

I too have never smoked. Both my mother and father smoked with I was growing up and to me it was just nasty. Dad always smoked a pipe and I did like the smell and I guess the "pipe" persona. However I never wanted the smell and the negative health effects. Time goes by and everyone gets a life and so did I. My wife was a smoker for many years, but she always went outside, wouldn't smoke in the car you know the routine. then one day she said that if I would buy her an electronic cigarette she would try to quit. So I did and for about a year she used the small ones that look like a real cigarette. However after the "new" wore off of it she got tired of the batteries not being good and the flavors being inconsistent. She found out about a local vape shop from someone she works with and so we checked it out. Wow, we didn't know all of those flavors existed or that it was as big of a deal as it is. She got a kit and was on her way. Then I found out they made e-pipes so I decided to give it a try. What the heck, I'm old enough to do what I want, the kids are mostly grown anyway. So, I bought a kit like my wife (just in case I didn't like it I could give here my stuff) and a Kuawako to give me that "pipe" feel. Needless to say that was about 3 months ago and I am on my way now. Haha!!!! Now I not only have my Kuawko, I have a new stainless steel Zmax and an actual e-pipe that I use. So, I guess that if you don't smoke you maybe shouldn't vape either, but it is a better alternative than actually smoking. These days everything is bad for you so you might as well try and enjoy life a little. I vape and really enjoy it. Never smoked, never wanted to. Smoking stinks literally and has bad negative health effects. Vaping may not be totally harmless, but it is better than smoking. And hey, I look darn good vaping my pipe. :) Sorry that got a little long.

hey guys, sorry for slow reply. I actually started vaping because it seemed like a good alternative to smoking. I'm 24 and actually tried my first e-cig a few years back, but wasn't really impressed. I wouldn't say that i would have started smoking if i hadn't started vaping, but i had never had nicotine before and wanted to try it. and no, i've never puffed other stuff. Just found some vape flavors i like, and stick to those. I've never actually felt anything from nicotine, at least nothing like i've had it described to me so i dont think its anything to get criticized for, just fun and delicious! I usually go for the nic free juices, but like i said, i've had the pina colada vape with no nic and it was absolutly horrible! I tried half strength pluid and fell in love with the flavor and i'm waiting for Murdock to release his next batch so i can get some Cutter(his nic free version of Pluid).

I've tried a few tobacco flavors, and wasn't really impressed. Just not my thing i suppose.

Never smeared vix in my mouth lol, though my wife says her grandmother used to do that!

It's not for everyone! It has a VERY strong anise flavor (black licorice). Also, it's an abusive juice. and by that i mean, it bonds to plastic. i had a drip fall on my v-max screen and it made it cloudy instantly. i had to buff it clear again with a dremel. also not good for plastic tanks lol. I've heard a few other flavors are bad for plastic as well, and i've had a banana juice crack an e-go, not sure why. Tastes amazing though, don't let me dissuade you!

UN-dissuaded! I had heard it was an absinthe flavor. I put a drop of real absinthe in my 100% vg juice at times. Pluid is under my name on our family gift exchange for Christmas. I thought it would be fun to see if they can find out what it is & how to get it.
