NewB with a PLAN ... what do you think ?

[ambition]

Yeah, there's no VG in those carts.

If you're happy enough to lose money by reselling those cartos for less and losing that money forever, why not invest just a little more (like seriously 15 bucks) in a couple of types of menthol juice with some VG in it? You're not wasting that money because it will last you through next month at least, and the juice in the prefilled cartos was essentially free anyway given that they were cheaper than blanks.

Remember that you can clean them right out and they'll work perfectly. Even the coffee ones.

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm seeing a extreme short term view here, put yourself forward a few weeks and you'll see that you'll save.

Really I think I must be missing something...almost tempted to delete what I just wrote....but...no

Usually juice with VG is smoother.

My mom used to buy prefilled and she liked some of the prefilled carts from V4L and SmokeTip. Once she figured out what she liked, I just order the bottles and I fill them for her.

This is really frustrating in the beginning. I lucked out and liked my kit and juice right away. She didn't. It was pv after pv, and juice after juice. You're hopeful until the mail comes and disappointed when you hate it. I do know the feeling and sincerely do sympathize with what your going through.

This would be so much easier if we could run in a store, sample a couple and buy what we like! I think once you hit on it, you'll be OK. I know you're frustrated, but please don't give up!

happened to me today. 12 different tobacco style juices, not a single one of them anywhere even remotely close to being within a million light years of even slightly reminiscent.

Tobacco flavoured juices are a scam, menthol on the other hand seems to be almost impossible to stuff up.

I think finding juices you like is the hardest thing about vaping.

Good luck! I really hope that you will stick with it!

Oh... another thing that's good about buying juices (down the line, when you find a few you like) is that you can buy two different strengths (like say, 18 and 0 mg/ml) and mix them to get your perfect strength.

I too tried getting juice that tasted like a cigarette. Well, it just ain't gonna happen, not according to my taste buds anyway. What I found to satisfy me instead was strong coffee & chocolate flavors.

I agree with everyone else that suggested to up your nic level.

After you find something that satisfies you & gets you over the switch hump, you may want to try DIY. There's a great section filled with peeps willing to help, share & give advice. It's way more economical too.

Indiana , just south of Indy. Only one that is kind of close about 30 minute drive , but they are pretty high priced and not a great selection. but thanks for the link.

 

[Hoosier]

Yeah, I've noticed the B&M's have higher prices on juice than the online vendors. Probably a reason for that...

I never looked at their juice prices before, but you're right, it is a tad toward the high side. Carries Halo though, which is one of the few premixed I tended to like.

Yeah , I was suprised to see only 1 in Indy.

I started with a V2 also,, DEFINITELY increase your nicotine content. I made the same mistake and higher nic did it for me. I've been able to refill my V2 cartos many, many times,,, they do seem to be of really good quality. Know that V2's cartos do NOT equal a pack of cigs,,, half a pack, if you're lucky so if you order them, order accordingly. There are tons of places to buy blank cartos,, I got some from Smokeless Image and they work just fine. And if you want flavors,, check out The Vapor Room and Highbrow Vapor. There's also TONS of places to buy juice but start with sample packs,, you sure don't want to end up with a big bottle of something that you hate.. this is quite a learning experience, I must say... but what fun! Good luck,,, and I say again.. ORDER ENOUGH!

I have to agree with this, I started with V2 on the pre-fills and eventually went to buying the juice. Their cartos really arent bad at all and are really easily filled, just be sure you don't smoke them down until they taste burnt.

Well, there are 2 in Kokomo! (One is Greensmoke only though, so I'm only counting their two stores as one.)

There are more that are online only. Parkes and Hoosier Ecig Supply.

Note, I was Hoosier on here well before the company opened and I don't even know who the people are let alone have any association with them. I say that because some folks believe I am the owner of that business because of my forum handle...

 

[jays1fan]

I am south of Indy , so Kokomo would be too far for me. But appreciate the tip.
