New to Vaping, finally made the leap!

[Spartan8029]

Hey guys, I am a regular on several forums throughout the internet on other subjects and I must say
I am amazed by the size and content on here, it's huge. Well I've been smoking for 11 years and I've decided it is time to quit and I decided to make the switch over to pv'ing. I'm not trying to quit smoking completely, just figured this would be much better for my health.

Well after doing a bunch of research I've decided to purchase from MadVapes and to go with a smok Tech Ego starter kit. I also got a pack of the smok Tech 2.5ohm Cartos and 5, 510 flat tip cartridges since I'm not sure which I'll like more these or the atomizer, cartridge combo.

For my e juice I went with the following, all flavors are TopVapor USA:
1 - Menthol, 30ml 24mg
1 - Cheesecake, 10ml 24mg
1 - Lemon-Blueberry Cotton Candy, 10ml 24mg
1 - Cherry Limeade, 5ml 18mg
1 - Mad Chai, 5ml 18mg
1 - Honeydew, 5ml 36mg

I used to smoke newports and then for the last 2 years I've been smoking Black and Mild Wine. I wasn't really sure which flavors I'd like so that's why I varied it up a bit, lol. Well any comments or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance guys for all your help.

Hey congrats on taking this step and welcome to ECF! i dont have alot of advice besides you are going to try a bunch of different stuff and buy alot of stuff lol, thats what i did anyways, until you find the perfect fit for you, i started with ego-t, and lots of different juices, i found the tank system was not for me and finally settled on boge cartos and vision clearomizers, plus upgraded my battery to a Lavatube As for juice, alot of them sound great, but i found that they all did not rock my world, and i also found out i am a Fruity guy when it comes to juices, so let me know how that Cherry Limeade is...it sounds delicious!
ps sorry for the continuous sentence.

Congrats I don't have anything to say really, other than the topvapors juice hubby just bought needed to sit for a few days. Maybe it was just me, I don't know, but at first they didn't seem to have much flavor. Now they are much better! So if you don't like them at first, let them sit a good 3 days-week and try again Good luck!

Thanks guys for the tips, I'm really excited to start my vaping journey! Wait so if a flavor is not strong enough or something I should let it sit for a bit? That's very interesting and thanks for that little tidbit.

Fresh made juices should be allowed to steep to really bring out the true flavors

I will keep that in mind when I try out my juices. I was also wondering since I smoke about a pack(5 cigars) a day of the blacks, which juices out there would give me a comparable experience to smoking the black and mild cigars with a thicker, heavier smoke? Or would you guys say a LR carto would be able to give me that thicker, heavier vapor that I'm looking for?

Welcome to ECF Finding juices you love will probably take you the most time. Sounds like you got a nice little selection chosen---good luck to you on this journey.

Thanks Shilo, you're right, just picking out my first set of flavors must of taken me 3 hours and I must have switched flavors like 20 times, LOL!

In regards to Frankies post, are we allowed to discuss that subject matter here?

Did you guys tried ......... flavor. I am not sure if I should try.

Tastes like Pine-sol. I had to give it a try...LOL. Nothing like the real thing that I can remember from waaayyyy back when.

No. This is a clean forum and illegal stuff stays out.

I'm not a topvapor fan myself but I know a lot of people like them. There is a ton of good vendors out there so do lots of research. As for flavors, if they taste funny to you at first, put them in a cool/dark place for a couple of weeks and try them again. Don't refrigerate. Refrigeration can actually cause your juices to go bad. Just a cool, dark place is sufficient.

Here is a good place to get some eliquid reviews however I don't let the reviews deter me from trying something that strikes my interest. Some interesting reading though..... General E-Liquid Reviews
