NLGOM - Oh MY - another "New" member!

The Menthol Cig I sent you has no mint in it. Just menthol and tobacco flavorings.

The Altoid Wintergreen is mint and menthol, so that would make sense.

TAsting vapor is all in the nose. Your tongue has nothing to do with it. Smoking has screwed up your nose. It will get better, but sucks while things are changing. Just before my nose started to work with vapor, there were more than a few Kleenex filled. About a box I think. It was disgusting what I could smell after that. So its not all good.

Find something that isn't disgusting to cape. I had to go with flavors that were completely different than I thought I wanted before that happened. Which is more common than not. In fact many of the non menthol flavors I sent you are also flavors that my formally menthol cog smoking family and friends used to switch. Only one of those folks thought that something besides a menthol or menthol/cog flavor would ever work. I had to trick most of them into trying something different.

Finding a juice is an adventure with a huge payoff.

What nose? - You talking to ME ! ! ! (said with a real NYC Accent) . . . Yea - Ya' TALKIN' TO 'E ! ! !

Actually, I wish I had a NOSE still, because I haven't had a real working nose for years. I can't breath through my nose . . . Allegeries - Asthma . . . all my life. And in reality - now I know you probably will not believe this - but my smoking "anologs" helped me, because it camouflaged - EVERYTHING - including all those perfume & colognes that everyone wear too much of, instead of taking Baths/Showers . . . AND for what it is worth, if some needs that much perfume/Cologne they need to take a bath/shower anyway. Okay - I'm stepping down from my soap-box . . .

Now, I really do know it is going to be a wonderful adventure into the World of "Vaping," especially with so many different flavors available and I can't wait to actually try some, epically the ones you sent me . . . they are next (that's why I gotta' find the instruction "How to clean out "ejuice" from the cartomizers" before I go to bed tonight - so I can clean them out and let them dry before I try them tomorrow . . . The first will be the "Menthol and Tobacco" and then either the "NuPort" or the straight "menthol" or even the "Altoids" . . . Once I try these, I have every intention to try the others - Like the "Blueberry Muffin" (BTW, how did you know that I like Muffins and Blueberries even more).

However, I do still need to find a "True Menthol" so that I can give up the "anologs" totally and have some thing I am familiar with and that I can fall back on, just in case I don;t find anything else to work for me . . . Either way, I also know - like everyone else here in the forum has already stated, by the time I finally get the hang of this I might not even be concerned about having anything that even comes close to a "menthol" and will find the Special "1" Flavor for ME to "vap" everyday. Until then it will be the Trails & Tribulations" of the "Transition" into the "World of Vaping" for Uncle. Hey - at least I'm starting to get the "vaping" down . . . Now, to find the right "Flavor" for me . . .

Welcome! Vaping rocks! It just... does.

I too was a Kool Menthol smoker, and if you find yourself really itching for that flavor I HIGHLY suggest BackWoods Brew Menthol Tobacco. I recently got a bottle of medium strength 16mg and it's to die for as a former menthol smoker.

Once again, welcome and congrats for your excellent life-changing decision

Thanks, not only for the Welcome, but the suggestion. I appreciate getting the info, espcially from another former "Kool" smoker. I will be putting it on my list of other suggestions I was able to get from others who were also "Kool" people . . . I'll tell you (and everyone else) what happens . . .

Update: After reading all the reviews at the site - I just ordered a bottle. Will let you know . . .

Really great to hear about your adventures in getting started Unc. Just keep up the practicing day after day and it will all sort of make sense eventually. You have been getting some great advice and support here. And remember that practice time spent is time not spent smoking----and eventually practice may end up being all you do!

I'll catch up with you later.

Yep - And nor is the "Transition" into the "World of Vaping" (as YOU already Know SO Well) . . . And on that note just a quick heads-up, for everyone, although I will not be around for the next week, I'm still trying and doing what I can to accomplish this goal . . . see you all when I get back . . .

So Uncle are you back? I was just wondering how your transition was going and what mg level you are satisfied with. I was a smoker of Marlboros for 38 years (only about half a pack to a pack a day.) I went immediately to 24mg in the halo 56 mix and have been really happy with it and not alot of problems transitioning. Just was curious as to how you are doing.
