New, tobacco-free member checking in........

[Doc Adams]

Started w/Winstons, graduated to unfiltered Camels and complemented my love of tobacco w/cigars & pipes. After 40+ years I made the move to e-cigs w/a V2 disposable. Zero problems! Quickly moved to acquiring an EGO setup (CE5) for home & car and an eRoll for social settings (bars, casinos & parties). I'm 2 months tobacco free and loving it. Really don't know why I didn't make the move years earlier? My nicotine craving is fulfilled, love the flavors available and the hobby aspect fits right into my R/C addiction when it comes to working w/lithium batteries. (I fly near-everything, love helis and have many years of experience in charging cells.) Next move is to a SmokTech SID and DIY e-liquid.

Due to their close proximity, I've been buying MBV e-juice and love their Blackberry & Coumarin Pipe (now that's a true tobacco flavor after a 3-week steep). I've just discovered "Backwoods Brew" Casablanca & Virginina and love both. Also should give special mention to "My Vapor Parlor" Cherry & Green Apple flavors, but, honestly, their "Reds" are so putrid that they're near-impossible to vape. (Even the wife complains about the stink.)

I'd be a happy man if I could vape something near-identical to Swisher Sweets Peach. The closest I came was by combining "High Caliber" Smooth Cuban Cigar w/MBV's peach flavoring, but if anyone has a better idea, well, I'd love to hear about it.

A 70/30 mix w/18-24 mg. seems to work best for me.

And that's my story...........

Welcome, and good luck in your quest. I was never really a pipe or flavored cigar fan but I did enjoy a Perdomo from time to time.

Thanks to Clint Eastwood and a drive-in theater, my first cigar was a Parodi. The theater frequently screened a compilation of his spaghetti westerns and it was the local fad for young males to smoke them during those weekend screenings.

Welcome! I have fallen deeply into this new hobby. I started with a simple ecab. Used that for 8 months until I walked into a vape shop and discovered what else was out there! Right now I'm getting a kick out of decorating my MVP and other batteries with Di-Noc. It's fun and keeps me off cigarettes.

I can't suggest anything with tobacco. I have only fruit and dessert flavors here.

Good luck!

Congrats on making the switch and welcome to the search for the best tasting liquid for you.

Welcome. I smoked 40+ years myself and am still stunned I quit, never made it more that three or four days. I second "Backwoods Brew" Casablanca although their Caramel Cappuccino and Banana Nut Bread, for ADULTS, are great too.
