Welcome Quinn, I'm newly registered to the forum also. Although I've stopped by here occasionally to read. I actually found this place while looking for a supplier. Have fun!

Welcome to the forum, Quinn!
If the flavor is still kinda strong, you can always cut it with some VG. IMHO, it sweetens the taste a bit, lessens TH, and provides vor more vapor production. I like big vapor. Something about inhaling and exhaling big clouds of vapor really pulls my bobber down. don't know what blend your vaping, but some folks prefer 100% PG, some 80%PG/20%VG, 70/30......you get what I mean, right?
As you experiment with different flavors, suppliers, and blends, you'll find a few that seem to "work" for you. Might even consider dropping some in nicotine strength. I smoked analogs for 30+ years @ 1- 1 1/2 PAD. Started at 24mg, but have found myself preferring to vape at 16-18mg.
Congrats on trashing the "stinkies" and good luck in your future vaping endeavors!

Welcome to ECF Quinn!

You may want to try 18 mg liquid. If that's not quite enough you can mix the 18 and 24 liquid together 50/50 and end up with 21mg. You'll also want to take slower, longer drags. you've probably already noticed that vaping isn't exactly like smoking.

You made a great start with the ego, 24mg and LR atty. If the 24 is keeping you off smokes, stick with it! It's a beautiful thing...Try different liquids too. After a while, some rotation with the liquids works really well. It's funny that we smoked mostly the same cigarettes for years and years and didn't feel the need to switch 'flavors' but with liquids your taste buds need more variety.

Congrats and welcome to ECF!
Sounds like your on the right track. I don't know how much eliquid you have
but it might be good to order some more small bottles and from different
vendors to see what else you might like.
Also remember that your taste buds will change over the next few weeks/months
once you get off the analogs. What taste good today, might not taste good
next month.
Again, welcome and vape on!

Hello all,
Today at precisely 11:34 AM it will be 7 days off analogs. Shamefully I smoked 1 1/2 packs a day. Now an X-power 900mah, 3.7 volts, XL atty and cartridges, started at 1.5 ml of 16mg per day. What a difference. What fantastic help I have received from this site. The wealth of knowledge is amazing. Every day I spend at least 2 hr. reading posts. I would have never believed that quiting smoking could be so easy. It is all I can do to not grab an analog smoker standing outside a store and show them the light. That will be next week along with creating my own juices, again, thanks to all the generous help and encouragement of the members and staff of ECF. Happy vaping to all........................

thanks to all who replied. ill be trying some different flavors soon, as well as a little mixing and experimenting. ive had such a response from my friends that im thinking of opening a small store. alot of people i talk to say they are skeptical about buying e cigs from internet because they all want to "try one out" first. any input is greatly appreciated.

ps...the nearest retail location in my area is over 100 miles away.
