Hi ECF members, let me introduce my self-

My name is Bob and I live in the County of Suffolk in the UK.

I started smoking when I was 11 and I am now 48 and had been smoking about 12.5 grams of hand rolling tobacco for more than 20 of those years ( without filters ).

I made a conscious decision to quit recently and purchased a disposable from a petrol station. It lasted half a day for me until it ran out but it was enough for me to get started. I then purchased a cheap rechargeable 510 with a couple of carts and some juice.. That kept me of smokes for 20 or so days but I got fed up with the battery life . I then purchased a TECC micro Lite package . I did not like the pre filled carts but I refilled anyway so it was not a problem and now I have a RIVA kit which I like.

I have donated my 510 kit to a friend to get him started.

All in all ,I have been smoke free for nearly a month and I really like vaping but I have questions ( as you would have guessed ).

Do your taste buds get used to what you are vaping and shut down ? Let me explain. I have some juice (cafe Tabac 24mg) that I like. If I fill my CE4+ clero with it and vape. I can taste the coffee flavor in it for the first inhale only, after then all I get is the tobacco flavour . I have another CE4+ filled with mint choc If I vape this for a a couple of puffs and go back to the cafe tobac , same thing, one puff of cofee and then nothing ( except tobacco) on the flip side.. with the mint choc , all I get is mint no choc.. even though I can smell it.

So I have to alternate between the 2 to get the desired taste.

Do you all day vapers have the same problem ? do the flavours disappear?

Another question (sorry )

I really like the TECC microlite . If i fill the carts with tobacco flavour 24mg , I get a strong taste and throat hit with ( nearly ) every pull. If I use the same juice in a CE4+ on the RIVA , I really have to work hard to get that throat hit .. A lot bigger mouthfull and a lot slower draw than the microlite and the overall feel is a lot mellower . Is there something I am missing here?

As you might have guessed , the microlite is what I use when I am "out and about" and the RIVA is what I use at home while drinking a large scotch ( like now )
:).

Regards

Bob

Hi Bob, I am from Barmouth, Snowdonia
I started vaping 2 weeks ago, after 26 years of smoking and i have found the same with regards to the flavour.
I carry 3 clearomizers with me, with a different flavour in each and just chop and change when i am used to the taste, i also have three 10ml dropper bottles for refilling each, quite a bit to take with you, but works for me, I use an eGo 1300 for when i am home and out and about, works well for me so far :)

Hello Chrissie,
the kit I got came with 5 X 3 ohm Boge cartomisers and I filed one of them with with the cafe tobac juice but it did not really work for me.. there was not a lot of vapor produced, it had a very loose draw and was quite noisey . I have refilled cartomisers quite a few times before <grin> but never a new one so perhaps I did not get it quite right.

hi bob,thats what i started out with ego`s and clearo`s.what i found is that the ce4 are ok for a short while then they become a really tight draw,and don`t give the true taste of what you are vaping.my advice would be to invest in a dual coil tank with pre punched cartomisers.or the vision mini vivi nova tank,i am using one of these now on an ego twist v v and it is heaven mate,pure heaven.do some searches on you tube and you will see what i mean. i am sure with a little research you will find your perfect vape,just as i did.good luck mate.
