I was not a heavy smoker (5-7 analog cigs/day), but want to switch to vaping w/0 mg nicotine. Hubby is not ready to quit totally, and having cigs around was too much temptation for me. My brother-in-law is dying of lung cancer (lifelong heavy smoker), which is additional incentive for me to quit. I am primarily a stress smoker.

I did several days of research online before ordering the Tornado -T. It took longer to arrive than I had the patience for, so I went to my local tobacconist and purchased one of the PureSmoke e-cig starter packs. I may be gauche, but I like the feel and taste of the menthol puresmoke better than my Tornado, which doesn't give me as satisfying taste. I'm getting used to it, and the investment I already made is definitely an incentive. That being said, here are my questions:

Where can I find discount coupons for Tornado-T compliant and PureSmoke? A google search turns up a bunch of scam coupon sites.

I am ready to order empty cartridges, an extra battery and 0 mg menthol flavor e-liquid for the Tornado tank system. Is it the same thing as the Joye Ego and therefore interchangeable? Where is the best place to get these supplies? Totally Wicked for Tornado only or others?

I also want more 0 mg Menthol cartridges for my PureSmoke system as a backup. I still like to alternate. I'd buy another starter pack (almost cheaper than buying replacement cartridges!) but they have high nicotine juice in the starter packs and I don't want to become MORE addicted to nicotine vaping than I was on analog cigarettes.

There are so many abbreviations on the forums, that it is difficult for me to understand them quickly. I HAVE been trying, but need more time to adjust to the lingo. I will get there. I have not had an analog cig since my first e-cig 5 days ago and have no desire to have one. Help me save $$$, would you?

Thanks for all your help!

I'll revise my questions then, as most of my original question has been addressed (the Tornado Tank system is the same as the Joye Ego and supplies like cartridges, atomizers should be interchangeable as a result).

I do not like the flavor of the prefilled cartridges that came with my kit. I am looking for 0 mg e-liquid, primarily menthol. I am finding most sites do not carry 0 mg nicotine, but that is what I want. I bought quite a bit of the prefilled cartridges from Totally Wicked (definitely a disincentive to vape as I don't like their menthol or tobacco flavors AND there is more nicotine than I want).

Where can I get decent flavor, quality product w/very low or preferably no nicotine? If there are sites that publish discount codes that is very helpful information as well.

I used to smoke Salem menthols. It would be great to have a sampler flavor pack during these initial weeks of vaping, but I want to keep nicotine and costs as low as possible.

THX!

Thx for the great response, folks! The Tornado-Tank is the same as Joye Ego-Tank system. I currently have the Tornado Tank and want to get replacement supplies (i.e., ego-T cartridges, e-liquid at 0 or very low mg nicotine). I think that the cartridges for the T system are a bit different (larger?) than the original ego, pcguru4u2.

I have been very pleased with the Totally Wicked service, but they're limited on premixed e-liquid flavors in 0 mg. I am not ready to jump to complete mixing, but am looking for great taste w/0mg e-liquid. Has anyone used vaporkings.com? They have Djarhum (clove) flavor, although still at 11 mg strength nicotine.

Maybe I could jump to mixing a LITTLE w/0 mg clove flavor to cut the nicotine, but I really just want 0 nicotine menthol and clove flavorings...Am I being too picky?

Carts and tanks are different. Carts have the fabric stuff in them...tanks have none, the atty pokes through with a wick..... Hey try Best Electronic Cigarettes - Freedom Smokes Inc. 20ml for about $9 and thats with 18mg nic...so might be cheaper with no nic... If you have any questions Chris seems to be a nice guy. Although the eGo Mega battery will work for the tank systems atty..900mah $15 with cupon code "smoke" @ the same link above...just not the normal eGo Carts.. and if you arent using nic jucie then it would be sooo cheap for you to DIY... 20% VG 15% or so PG based flavor, 65% PG...you could make 1000ml for like...$100? lol...ramble ramble I wokr night I'm sleepy..

Perfumers Apprentice - Professional DIY Flavors <---- Seems to be good. I ordered about 80ml of flavors..for about $30...you only use 5-20% flavor so that will last a long time :)

Freedom Smoke USA has 0 nic option. They have sampler sizes so you can try flavors to see what you like. Email some vendors to see if they offer 0 nic juice if you don't see it on the website. Ms. T's Bakery is run by Tammy and I'm sure she would make 0 nic as well as Don at Backwoods Brew. Here are some links for juice. I know there are lots of other vendors. I hope this helps.

FreedomSmokeUSA
E-Liquid
Ms T's Bakery Essentials

Some of these have coupon codes on their sites if you look carefully.

Hey nancy...35+ year smoker and in all that time I had exactly 2 menthol cigs....hated menthol..and yet I like to vape some menthol..go figure? I have some diy menthol drops from extreme vaping (mystic menthol) which is pretty good and pretty intense. You probably have a wal-mart or similar that you can pick up some vg/pg...and mixing that up should be no big deal. There are diy sections on this site to help. You can diy for literally pennies on the dollar. Also, but I have not tried them, People say that Halo has some good menthol flavorings. Good luck....hope you find what your looking for.

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions! I ordered some eliquid from a number of different sites, including several from backwoodsbrew.net. They have quite a few 0 mg e-liquids and responded to my questions right away! I ordered some eGo-T cartridges from another site. The coupon suggestions were very helpful! FYI - my original site, Totally Wicked, is totally out of Cone Shaped T- ATOMIZERS! Not that I need one right away, but I want to be sure to have some on hand soon...No one seems to have additional T batteries in stock either. Guess the product is a popular one!

Good move...BWB is some of the best juice on the market!

I'm not a menthol guy, but I do have some of their menthol tobacco liquid for when the mood strikes me.
It is very cool, smooth, and soothing.

Don is a heckova guy, who will definitely go out of his way to make a customer happy!
You couldn't have made a better choice!

One thing you should know, is that he creates his own tobacco bases...this means that the flavors usually take a week or two to really come together. It doesn't mean that you can't vape it. It just gets better and better the longer it gets to steep.

Enjoy your Tornado and say hi to all of the BWB Crew, when you get a chance!

Thx so much!!

I was directed to bwb in no small part because of your initial posts as well as others I'd scanned along the way, AG! I did read his notification/terms of service on the website, so am aware it may take a while to "cure." I have a lot left from my original order of prefilled cartridges, so shouldn't need it for at least 2-3 weeks. I haven't even gone through 1 full cartridge yet and it has been about 4 days with my Tank!

Now I just need to figure out how to create my own fancy schmancy signature (i.e., no analog cigs for *** days...)...and try to wait patiently for my new eliquids from bwb!
