I must be strange, Virus just didn't do much for me. Pleasant, yeah, good, yup, but "astounding"? Eh, sorry. I tried it right out of the mailbox, and then let it sit about six weeks, but...

Now, GCD, that's a whole nother story! I'll be putting in my third order for it this week. This is just one incredible vape! I was NEVER a bakery fan, but this converted me. My only nitpick with it is that I want it at 24MG. I'll still order it as is, but I'm curious why 24mg is not an option. Kent, you need to do some 24s for us degenerates!

I vape 18mg. I still bump back up to 24 sometimes.
It seems like most here have tapered down a lot?
Probably a question for a new thread - but... Why? Should that be a goal? Lower my nic level? I've been vaping for over 5 years (totally quit an almost two pack a day looooong time habit the day I started vaping - only had 2 very minor relapses - was headed for another...) But - it's making me stop to think now...

Did you guys start vaping at low nic levels? Did you bump down?

im still new to vaping, started at 24 mg with a hit of 36 in stressful moments. was bummed about NT not having at least 24mg. but, no lie, the juice is so good that it doesn't matter to me anymore and i've really lost the urge to hit anything stronger than 18. took a few days, of still taking puffs of stronger..but now i dont do it anymore. the 18 is plenty strong for me. if i'm extra stressed then i just puff a lot of it really fast...room or car smells great afterwards :)

personally I'm in love with the Virus, BG and Wakonda so far...these to me are the best tasting things on the planet

I don't have all the abbreviations down yet - but first order:
Custards Last Stand
Grandma's Cinnamon Danish
Crème Brulé
The Doodle

This morning:
Frenilla
Strawnilla

Thanks! She's a prissy-pom lol - I also have a 3 pound yorkie

I've read that those flavors mix well together? Or can be used to help other juice? I'm thinking there is no hope for some juice mistakes that taste like old granny perfume rolled in Kitty Roca...

just my two cents - I really liked CLS at first, but it didn't GRAB me like the Virus (nether did BG) - but after a couple weeks of steeping, HOLY COW they're both phenomenal. I'm not suggesting you wait but just saying, people aren't exaggerating how it gets better in time. IMO so far out of what i've had, particularly true with CLS. much better every day now

I started with 18 with some 24 sample sizes to fall back on in the beginning. Now 18 would choke me as I have been vaping 12 for the last 2 months. Today's order is nothing but 6 since the REO is taking over as my main device. We'll see how that goes, but I still have plenty of juice in 12 to fall back on...

I loved the Virus when I first tried it in May. Or early June. Whatever.

Then they came out with Wakonda. My Virus and Radio went forgotten. They're, hem... steeping.

I did get some Virus out last week-end and it was lovely. Morphing, too, almost gave me a headache trying to keep up with it. But it wasn't Wakonda.

I did it... placed another order :unsure:
H1N1
BG
Gravity
More Frenilla
More Strawnilla

Figured the Frenilla and Strawnilla should have extra in steepage (gotta start hoarding sometime, might as well be now)
The Virus just jumped into my shopping cart and when I put the BG in, the Gravity screamed so I couldn't leave it behind.

*slinking away slowly* *taking credit cards and freezing them in a locking container*

I'm trusting you guys!!
*grumble* peer pressure... I succumbed to peer pressure :blush: :rolleyes:
yeah... that's the story I'm sticking with ...lol

lol don't worry just jump on in with the family. I rarely go out of this subforum anymore except to the classifieds and I was a hard core menthol vaper for almost two years...haven't touched it since I got my first order....now I have like 14 bottles and I NEED to order several more on payday. Just sit down, relax, post, and vape. You will probably want to try all the flavors. I do and I've only been here a month or so lol

I smoked a half pack a day and from what I read they recommended 6mg :)blink:) and the B&M I went to the lowest they had was 18mg or zero so I went with 18mg. Got me off cigs!! I like to chain vape so would over nic myself very easily and that came with ferocious hiccups (which makes vaping or anything impossible) so when I found NT I dropped to 6mg and as I steep my juice so long I think the nic is declining in strength as juices in 6mg FOOB from NT hit me hard, I get so very high!! @_@ I like lowering my nic but I'm not obsessed with it. I vape all day long because I love the juices and the habit of vaping and fiddling with everything, it's my hobby. :D

Started on 24/18 and already down to 6/3, working my way to 0. So I have to ask now, what sort of delivery system are you currently using?

Your goal should to be happy and healthy, and above all, yourself. If you are happy and healthy, and comfortable where your nic level is, great! If you want to try a lower dose of nic, I highly recommend *slowly* stepping it down; mix some lower mg liquid that works well with your higher mg liquid. Juice calculators are easy to find n the diy section of the site, or you can use plain old math and known quantities to shift downward. Warning: cutting nic too fast can really upset your world, so stepping down from 18 to 12 is a HUGE step, and not to be taken lightly. Welcome to the Nicoclan =)

Provari with Aspire Nautilus tanks. I get good milage from my coils and love how easy it is. It was a very long journey to this setup. I'm even considering another provari so I have a backup... Or a collection lol

Excellent set up, used to have a Provari. Have you ever heard/considered a certain boxy shaped bottom feeder as a possible addition to your collection?

It's only the beginning. They *forced* me to buy a Reo. Two, actually.

They forced me into it as well. I only have one but I haven't even gotten to use it yet. Tonight. Tonight will be the night. I will not order a second one though, that's absurd! Well. I won't order a second one right away...

I really like my nautilus tank. It's a permanent home for GCD, one of my ADV. I have one juice in 18, the majority in 12, and I'm starting on 6. For the most part I can't tell a difference in the affect the nic levels have on me. I started buying in 6 for my mech and my new Reo. The direct lung hits are too harsh (for me) at a 12 but in a tank 12 is great (mouth hits).
