Clover..whatever gets you thru. I am just happy you are vaping at such a tender age..all us old farts are sorry we didn't take action when we we young!
You got that right MaryKay !! I've said it & my husband has said it too. He thinks this could have prevented him from getting COPD. So sorry we didn't know about this option so many years ago. We were completely ignorant to it back then. You're doing great Clover !!

oh MK me too! I never in a million years thought I would get addicted to cigs...went from I just smoke at parties/socially, to when Im stressed, to all the time in a matter of a year or so. I was getting close to that 5 year mark and I heard that thats the point when it becomes so difficult to quit that I probably never would. Im glad I found V4L :)

Yeah. Smoking really sneaks up on you with the entire "all the time thing". It's weird how fast it can happen. But, it happened to all of us at some point. Glad you found V4L so early on too, it will save from a lot of the damage that so many of us have done to ourselves from the analogs.

Also you are forgiven just this once.. hehe. Nah I don't think it matters where you get your juice from, you're still part of the fam.

honestly I think V4L could learn a thing or two from the juices I vape they are soooo delicious it made me not like V4L juice anymore! its just not as yummy! but they have good flavors dont get me wrong. Ill get a pack of waffle or something every once in a while for funsies. and believe me there are much much much worse juice out there. On a scale of 1-10 V4L is an 8 for juice. They are great!

I ordered two sample packs and also received a few flavors to try out when I ordered my kit last week.

Since then, I've tried the following flavors:

Wow Caramel Apple
Chocolate
Wow Pina Colada
Cool Carts Kiwi Apple Strawberry
Wow French Vanilla Ice Cream
Wow Chocolate Banana
Wow Cherry Cordial
Wow Super Mint

I hate to say it, but I'm not impressed with ANY of these. In fact, a large majority of them almost seem to taste the same.

Am I the only one that has experienced this? I'm also pretty disappointed with the vapor production/TH.

I placed an order last week for Wow Peppermint and Premium Grape so I'm hoping to have better results than these.

I really don't want to have to switch to a different vendor for my cartos because I love V4L customer service and sales but I'm might just have to....
please try some flavors you dont think youd like : i hated menthol analogs and love any of the different menthols they have ,the strength gets me thru and also wowboys helps a great deal ..then i use the other mellower flavors when i just want to chill out like espresso .....chocolate .....yum yum yum ...vaping was made for me !

I am starting with 24 mg .good luck !!!!!

I like V4L juices, and batteries. But I've never been a fan of their prefilled cartos. Besides, the new style of carto's that are on the market now are the way to go. These new styles are going to be setting the trend for cartos imo. If someone isn't selling them, they really need to look into it.

Hope you don't mind if I ask what new styles out there are the best in your opinion and do which ones fit the vapor4life batteries?? Thanks

Linda

Thanks for the info!!!

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely going to stick with it. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks he created a monster. (He's the one - as a nonsmoker - who talked me into going digital.)

I'm looking forward to experimenting with flavors and keeping on the boards will help give me some ideas of some of the "popular" ones.

And I will most certainly start to fill my own!

Maybe I ought to look at using some other juices too. So far I have only used V4L and Green Smoke.

I have bought a bunch of juices from V4L (mostly) pre-filled cartos. SO far I like about 70% of them. The only lesson I learned was not to buy juice without first trying the pre-filled. I bought a bottle of the 30ml Cherry Cordial and a pack of the pre0filled in the same flavor, based on some things I read. I thought I would like it, but as it turns out, I think it tastes like cough syrup.

On the other hand, I love the wowboy, but it hasn't been in stock since I ordered the pre-filled.

In sum, I love V4L and the service really is top notch. However, it probably is not a bad idea to have at least a couple of suppliers for juice.

I buy Loran flavorings, which most DIY mixers use in their formulations, to give a little tweak to the milder *IMHO* V4L juices. What I don't use for blending, I can use in cooking :p It's a win-win for my kitchen and my PV! I've actually done a lot of experimenting with blending V4L juices and love almost every combo I've created...some were a little strange, even for me :rolleyes: I personally would love it if V4L created a DIY kit...I would "work for vapes" or less-than-minimum wage...heck, I'd volunteer my time to create the kit and keep the DIY stocked :laugh:

My major concern in going too far afield for juice...customer satisfaction. It's that simple. That and I haven't found a DIY kit that I like or consider complete :facepalm: Until the time I find that magic kit (and even long after), I will continue to enjoy V4L and hope everyone finds the "sweet spot" they need to lead to happy vaping! That's the bottom line for us all...breaking the hold that analogs had on us :(

So...good luck to us all as we continue to support one another in our common objective - freedom from analogs!

Winning, I went a touch (if ~500ml from various sources is a touch) overboard with ordering juice - trying to find something that would satisfy and be an "all-day" vape, and just experimenting with different strengths and flavors. I settled on Wowboy Peppermint and Wow Peppermint, for the most part, but I have 6 or 7 other V4L flavors and 30 or 40 flavors from other vendors (mostly tiny samples that I didn't re-order, but a couple of keepers). I'm also local to you, and would be happy to let you try what I have. If you're interested, send me a PM and we'll figure something out.
