New Vaper

[SkippyDave]

Hey everyone. I was an analog smoker for 17 years, then quit last Christmas. Was tired of the stinky clothes, gassing my family (even though I'd only smoke outside), and the random burn-holes in my clothes. By mid-summer, I was still twitchy, irritable, distracted and about 2.3 nanoseconds from going to the gas station and buying a pack of Camels. Well, i went to the gas station, but picked up a Mistic e-cig. I had heard about them, and done a little research, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try. Wasn't the best tasting thing in the world, but it did the trick! A couple days later, I ordered a Volcano starter kit, and have been a happy camper since! I recently moved up to the Volcano Magma (510), and now have done enough research here and elsewhere that next month I'll take it another step up and go with an eGo clone (looking at the Totally Wicked Tornado possibly, maybe even with the booster). Just got 10 5-ml bottles of various flavors from madvapes, but they all tasted the same to me. Might be because I don't have a proper atomizer for dripping, since I tried 1-2 drops at a time in a tanko, cleaning it out between flavors. Maybe they just need to steep... I dunno. Anyhoo, enough tired rambling for now, glad to be here and hope to learn a lot more from you guys!

Same here... Just bought my joye510 today, loving it so far. Not to mention I haven't had a cig... all day today, which for me is a big deal as I'm a chain smoker (more like was.. lol)

Welcome to the forum! I have found all my answers and advice from here.

Welcome to the forums! I will agree with you on the brand of e-juice you bought. I bought a ton of juice from them and they were all relegated to the "only if I have nothing else to vape" drawer. There is something flowery or soapy about the taste. I buy my juice now from Liberty-Flights, and have bought the DIY stuff from them as well. Everything I have bought from them has been great. I learned my lesson, and now only buy one or two juices if I'm trying out a new company for the first time. Juice can vary greatly from one vendor to the next.

You know what, that's exactly what I experienced with them, just didn't know how to put it into words. Did letting them steep help? I read that somewhere on here the other day while I was still lurking.

Also got a auto mega 510 battery from them today, and that thing just passes air like I'm sucking on a straw, and if I draw on it hard enough, the light may flicker. I pop on one of my Magma batts, and the carto or tanko (I use both) works fine. I put in a trouble ticket on it, hopefully I get some resolution on it.

Just a side note, you guys are quick on the responses! I'm a member of a few forums related to my trade, but none with this much response! None of those have this many active members, so that's probably part of it... ;-)

I'm afraid nothing I've done has helped with the taste. My mother doesn't seem to mind vaping flowers, so she's snagged a few of them (good riddance). I was disappointed because they had some really interesting/unusual flavors. That website is well known because of it's bargain basement prices, but I guess the old adage of "You get what you pay for" applies here. I don't mind buying empty bottles and some of the DIY supplies from them, but I buy my e-cig equipment and flavors elsewhere. I looked into buying attys from them, but there were too many reviews stating that they arrived DOA. It's really hit or miss.

All I had to go on when I discovered them was some YouTube video reviews and whatnot, and the low prices. Like you said, you get what you pay for! Now that I've discovered this forum, I have more information than I know what to do with!

Anyone know who has the best coffee flavors around?

I recommend giving Liberty-Flights a try. Every flavor is spot on (and I've nearly tried them all). They have a 20% off promo code ("October20"), which makes the 5 ml bottles only $2.39 each. If your order is around $20, shipping normally drops to $2.99.

Welcome! I've been here just less than a week and have found it to be very helpful!

Took your advice and just ordered all four of their coffee flavors in 5ml sizes, plus one tobacco flavor for my brother-in-law (trying to get him on the vape-wagon, too). I noticed they put their discount code for the month right there on their site, so I even saved 20% (which meant 1 free bottle out of the 5!)!! I'll post how they taste when I get them.

Aaaaaaaaand now I see that you had already posted their discount code... and my 30 seconds of extra effort to click the "Discount Codes" link was kinda redundant...
