New here, and really glad this forum exists. Hi to anyone who's reading and sorry if I'm not caught up with Forum lingo.

New to e-cigarettes as well. Long story short: I've been smoking for 12 years, then out of the blue I went from smoking roughly a pack of Marlboro Lights a day (for 6 of the 12 years) to something like a pack a month. Cravings came back due to a heap of stressors, decided to take a friend's advice and try e-cigs. Her concerns were the usual: my health, exposing others to tobacco, analog litter, the smell, etc.
Bought a Cigavette kit (Tobacco flavored, 12mg) on a whim two weeks ago and puff on it maybe 3-5 times a day. I'm generally pleased with the taste, all the vapor & throat hit stuff, weight/appearance of it and it holds me over. I have a few concerns/questions, perhaps dumbish (sorry!), that are not addressed directly anywhere. reviews for the product are generally quite vague and all 4-5 stars, and watching videos of people vaping the brand doesn't help too much either. So, to other Cigavette users:
- Is the vapor something others can smell? For whatever reason I keep smelling something like Icy Hot minutes after I smoke. No one around me that I can ask.
- Have you found that cartridges last the amount of time expected?
- If anyone has tried 18mg and 12mg, is there any chance the 18mg is closer to Marlboro Lights in flavor? 12mg has a fruitiness to it that I can't stop smelling while on it.
- Are there any other brands of madetolooklikecigarettes that come close to Marlboro Lights in flavor?
Thanks!
