Great community you've got here. I've lurked for a long time and have used these hallowed halls to make informed decisions about vape-related purchases. :thumb:

So, for now I've got my trusty ol' BB and a GGTS (#162) and I mostly vape an assortment of minty niquids. My palette is expanding, though, a I hope to garner some opinions from all you good folks in the upcoming months. Maybe lend a few of my own.

I'm also in the painful situation of trying to get my 55-year-old, three-pack-a-day dad to convert away from the analogs. That is a saga unto itself, but he seems committed enough to the cause to make it plausible.

Talk talk,

Hi Kite, and welcome to the ECF! I agree - ECF is an outstanding community. I'm somewhat of a vape newb, but the members have been very helpful, and there's more information on PVs than you could ever digest.

Good luck to your efforts with your dad. I still have a pack of analogs for "emergency purposes". So far, I'm vaping like crazy, but still sneak back to get a real SMOKE now and then. But down from a pack-a-day to five analogs. I'll put them to bed before long.

Perhaps I need some stronger juice. Currently doing 18mg, but may need some member suggestions on some good STRONG juice to feed the nic cravings.

Hi 3Putt, I'm the same way. I can go weeks without a real cigarette, but I've been known to slip up if I'm out at a bar or with a group of old friends who tend to pow-wow around an ashtray. Thing with cigarettes is I can't just enjoy one the way I can indulge in, say, a banana split or a margarita the size of my face (i.e. once in a blue moon). If that were the case, sure, enjoy the hell out of that one nic stick and move on. A stronger juice may or may not be a possible solution for you, but there's only one way to find out! I've been at my finest when I've discovered a new flavor that lays waste on other flavors (like Halo's Smooth 8) and I can be satisfied for months without an analog crave.

I'm trying to convert family members in 2 ways: example and delicious smells. + An offer to get them a set up thrown out now and again. Smells seems to garner a the most interest. Early days, time will tell. Just don't push- remember how it was when people used to nag you to quit? That just made me dig in my heels! Good luck!

Wow kiteracer ! You have lurked since Nov. 2009 !!! 'Bout time you started posting !

Ha, yeah, I guess that makes me an old-school vaporista. Been through a ton of different set-ups and tried many a concoction of juices. I've also converted lots of friends permanently and I voraciously educate anyone around me about vaping, if they're willing to listen. Or not. :banana:

So, can anyone recommend a favorite daily vape of theirs since I'm searchn the market for some new flavors? I'm a fan of Halo's Smooth 8 but I tried a peach flavor recently that was inadvertently mixed with spearmint and was pretty impressed..

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
