Hello everyone! Technically I've been a member for the past two weeks or so. But I was lurking around the forums today and decided to make my first post! I have been vaping for almost a whole three weeks with one last pack of smokes bought to get me through a research paper. But it has been about 6 days since my last analog. At the moment I have the Kgo 1100 mAh setup and just ordered the 1000 mAh ego passthru with 2 clear dual coil cartos and some resurrector cartos. I have so far tried juices from The Vapor Room and have enjoyed them thus far. So anyone have any suggestions of what to try next?

Don't ask me what to try next - one look at my desk and in the desk drawer would tell you that I am a bad influence. My answer would be - Everything. Well, except maybe that bacon flavor juice.

Welcome aboard - The passthrough is a great move, IMO. Plug in when you can - and when you move, you have a fully charged battery. Can't beat that.

At a week in, you still have some changes coming. Your taste buds aren't back yet, but they will be. Keep that in mind if you get a juice you don't like. Set it aside. In a month, you might love it.

As for flavors - I'm pretty experimental and my tastes are eclectic. The most recent one I have tried and am vaping today is "Drunken Monkey". Tastes remarkably like the drink of the same name. But recommendations are hard to make when you didn't tell us what you have tried and did or didn't like. ;)

Well so far I've tried a root beer and apple cinnamon that I bought with the kgo setup from Hoosier ecigs, a clove from a store near by that was a rip off in price. From TVR I've tried the 555 Menthol, Dutch Chocolate Mint, English Toffee. I've also just ordered from TVR their Cinnamon Danish Swirl and Peanut Butter Cookie.

Gratz on moving over to vaping instead of smoking! I'm quite new to it too and have a similar setup, an eGo-T battery with a Smoktech eGo Dual Coil Clear Cartomizer at the moment, vaping away at some Vapelicious Hypnotic Mist (thanks, Ethan!), yum yum. I'm, like you, looking to find the hardware and the juices I like the most, and personally I'm going to go with recommendations here to try Boge Cartomizers and CE2 carts, and probably look to figure out how to drip (lol, yes I am that much of a noob), so that I can better evaluate the flavor differences of the different carts I'm trying to compare. Many reviews here on batteries, mods, juices and carts and a lot of information.

Congrats on getting started! I think youve got some great kits to get you going. I use an E-Power 14650, but when I started and was deciding on what to get, it was between the E-Power and the kGo. Both are great units, I went with the E-Power because it uses non-proprietary batteries, which are much cheaper ($4 bucks compared to kGos $17) and becuase I got a really good deal on it with a bunch of free stuff.
I would def recommned using the Ressurectors. They are what I use on a daily basis and are awesome. Plus they wont drain your battery as fast as the Dual Coils will.
As far as juice, there are soo many juice vendors, and with taste being so subjective, it depends on what kinda stuff you like.
I would check out BlueMist Vapor. They have a HUGE selection so if your not sure what you like you can try a bunch of different things. They have 250+ premades and 250+ DIY flavors. Their prices are great, $5 for 10ml and $10 for 30ml. They also have sample packs so if your trying to find what you like, Id get a few sample packs and try a few things. You can get 5 3ml juices for $10 bucks or 5 10ml juices for 20 bucks.
I dont know what kind of stuff you like, but if you like coffee stuff their Cafe Caramel is really good. I vape that in the morning.
Some of their tobaccos are good too.
If you want to order from somewhere else, look for vendors that offer sample packs. It will allow you to find out what you like without wasting a ton of money if you dont like a certain juice. The last thing you want to do is buy a big bottle of a juice that you end up thinking is disgusting

... what mynameis rob said.

Sample packs are a great way to go. If you don't already have one, grab an atomizer and use it to drip until you decide of you like a flavor. I get to sample all my flavors before I buy, so there's no risk in that regard, but not everyone has that option.

Changing flavors in a cartomizer is a PITA.

Heh when and where does the train that you caught stop so I can stow aboard lol. Though I've looked at some of the sample packs and none of the flavors offered where I've checked have grabbed my interest.:'(

I dunno... Not sure it stops. Still seems to be accelerating. lol

I wish I could remember where these places are. Some of them have sample packs where you go through and select the flavors. I don't buy juice online though.

I bet Dormouse knows...

Welcome to the forum! I hope you can find some juices that you like. I just got my eGo-T Wednesday and have only tried the Choco Mint from litecigusa and it is very minty! I ordered cherry, vanilla, and chocolate to try as well so I'll let you know about those but I think you said you weren't interested in cherry flavors though. ;)

Thanks for the welcome and keeping me in mind when trying the new flavours you're waiting to receive in the post. Do tell me how they are x).

Well, actually a few months in. Last analog was sometime in July. I'm just now starting to experiment with my setup. Started with an eGo-T, 1100 mAh battery. I thought it was great, but hit a batch of bad LR atomizers. Got a Liquinator tank and am still loving it (although my first tank cracked due to one of my juices (think it was spearmint, but not positive). Thankfully, replacement tanks are relatively cheap. Better vapor and flavor than the eGo-T. I also got an eGo-W tank from Darth Vapors -- haven't been too pleased with it. Everything taste burnt and replacement tanks/cartos are about $10.

Juices: Been very experimental with different sites, sampler packs, etc. Chocolate (Necco wafer-like) and Mint from Viking Vapors are both good, and the chocolate wicks better than some others I've tried. Java from velvet Vapors hasn't wicked well in anything and didn't taste good either. A good coffee was the espresso from Unsmoke.US (one of my first orders -- don't think their juice is all US made if that matters to you). Kona from Vapor Bomb was too sweet for me (like my coffee straight up), but their Banana is pretty good (like Laffy Taffy banana) as is their Green Apple. Also experimenting with PG/VG mixtures. Started with 80/20 and liked that. Read that PG gives more throat hit, so tried some 100% PG -- didn't think the reduced vapor would bother me as much as it did.

My suggestion is to go to the Forum Suppliers and check out a couple sites. Most places have sampler packs (usually 3-6ml). Others I've just ordered their smallest bottle for a trial.
