[Imagine]

my main recommendation for those non-menthol smokers is the smooth sampler...followed by the sweet sampler... and the strong sampler followed by the sweet sampler for the menthol smokers both in 18mg

Have been ghosting this thread since I signed up here...still building up my anticipation until I can finally place my order - which should hopefully be tonight.

As someone coming directly from analogs (unfortunately hit a proverbial bump in the road lately and had to buy a pack I feel so dirty)...any specific flavors and/or sampler packs you guys would recommend to me?

I know flavors are totally by preference, but just wondering what would be the best move for someone of such a high n00b level.

 

[Imagine]

if an order is not processed in 24 hours (excluding Sunday) there might be an issue with it... They should try and reach out to you on the phone...but with all this inventory coming in we have been a bit crazed... I will look into it and let you know.

Kinda Bummed...

Stalking the mailman paid off a little. LOL The same day I ordered my Volt Kit I also ordered drip tips/mouth pieces from Good prophets and 6 flavors from ECBlends. I received the liquids and tips today. I was so excited. I went to check my volt and it is still "processing". *sigh* Oh well, I guess I will be testing filling methods and tastes on my Cig2O tonight. lol I guess that is even possible...?? hmmm Dang.... wish I was at home now. )

So many of you like SI's menthol. I tried only one menthol (can't remember who I got it from) and didn't like it. But when I order my batteries I'm going to get a Strong Sampler to see what SI's taste like. I know I like the other three flavors and I can always re-use the cartos. See how I talk myself into stuff? lol

Hmmm.... been alot longer than 24 hours lol. More like 5 days (not including Sunday). Also payment has cleared. Hmmm and no one has tried to call me that I am aware of. Thank you Imagine for checking into it for me. I really wasn't complaining lol. I was just bummed that there will be more mailman stalking. LOL

Hi Holly - I am sooooooooo glad he's trying to quit! Yipee!! I am currently going through this exact thing with my hubby. It seems to me, that if they are constantly comparing the taste to cigs, they will probably ALWAYS come up short. Juice can never really ever taste like cigs, because there's nothing burning! Ya know?? LOL

I think a few folks have found a semi-close substitute, but many seem to fall flat until they realize that what they probably need is a flavor that they love that is nothing like cigs, so they are not comparing. I guess everyone has to make their own way, one way or the other, but my hubby is even starting to like flavors that he swore he would hate before actually trying them. Go figure... Just my .02 cents...

He is trying but he doesn't seem to like any of the sweet flavours. I started on ry4 and that did get me off the cigs but once I started trying all the sweeter flavours the ry4 just started tasting awful. He doesn't even like the ry4 he said it is too sickly. He's tried a few different tobacco flavours and there is one that he quite likes but it isn't enough to stop him smoking so I think if I get the smooth sampler there might be one in there to finally get him to quit. I'm not going to push him though, it was my decision to quit and I wouldn't want to force him into it just because I have quit so all I can do is give him some more flavours to try and hope for the best.
You're hubby is doing really well though, good on him

Bummer that you didn't get your package Stacey. Usually my vape-mail arrives within two days of placing an order at SI -BUT- I live in a state right next to Ohio. Still, they are usually lightning fast!

 

[Imagine]

there is no longer "another" volt on the market

[MegaBee]

Oh Megabee you are sooo nice , i really dont know what to say but you are great. Thankyou so much for the surprises... Not only did you send me some of my favourite juices (( telepathic maybe)) you also picked up on the vaping pg/vg ratio. <------- a very honourable mention , & an extra batt & an extra pack of carto's on top on the two replaceplacents!!! I have been happy dancing all day and have just now settled down with a combination vape of purecig mixed with cola& banana and its delicious [/QUOTE]

Hey what goes around cones around!!! You parted with your precious volts and cartos and so many flavours for me to experience the volts you barely knew me and you trusted me with your precious cargo! You deserved a few treats. You and the rest of the SI gang have been so freaking amazing with all the new people I know I will always be grateful for you and everyone else's kindness! Enjoy my friend.

Hey ya'll!! I've got LOTS of catch-up to do, but thought I'd give you a Rob update, while I'm going through the pages and pages of posts I've missed.

Can I just tell you... My husband is SO odd. In trying to open him up to the idea of "other" flavors, he was pretty steadfast. He's been a menthol smoker since the dawn of time, he wanted menthol vape. OK, so I hunted for the right menthol vape. He didn't like any of the ones he tried prior to the Volt purchase. Finally found Ice Menthol - which he's been vaping since - He likes it, but turned his nose up at Menthol Burst. Whatever - to each his own. I told him all the advice that friends here on ECF have given me about not closing his mind to all the cool (non-cig) flavors, but he wouldn't budge. Then, my niece, who had been inspired by our vapor journey, gave him a coffee carto to try. He loved it!! That opened his eyes to the idea of finding a "Grampa's pipe" tobacco juice. You will remember my dutiful search from a couple of weeks ago... In the meantime, I got a bunch of juices in sample sizes for him to try - but I stayed away from the dreaded sweet stuff (especially FRUIT! Eeeeeeek!), which he swore would be a waste of funds. When I realized I had to steep all the juice samples for a month, I quick like a bunny ordered a bunch of SI cartos and some Ice Menthol liquid to stave him off until he could start taste testing. I also, on a whim, ordered a set of Sweet Sampler prefilled cartos from SI, knowing he would make faces and refuse to even try them. Lonnnnng story short, guess what I'm ordering, as soon as possible????

VANILLA - "OMG, this tastes GREAT, what IS it???" later... "I could vape this vanilla all day, every day."
CHOCOLATE - "OK, YUM. I like this a bunch, order more."
CHERRY - ::: puff, bigger puff, really long pull ::: "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like the cherry, order more of these three."

Of the Grape and the Watermelon, he said "Doesn't do a thing for me," but three out of five ain't bad!!! Yay! This discovery will get him totally off analogs, I KNOW IT!!! Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!

If he didn't like the grape, he might still like Classic Grape. I prefer that one.

Why not get all the sampler packs? That way, you can try one carto of each of SI's flavors. You'll be surprised at which ones you like best.

This is exactly the process I went through. At first, I hoped to reproduce a cigarette, but of course, none of the flavors were much like a real analog. Then I branched out and tried other sampler packs and found that my faves are not the cigarette wannabes but entirely other flavors like chocolate. And I like vaping the menthols, though I hate menthol cigarettes. I like the 2 menthol flavors better than the mint. Go figure! What I wound up liking best was a real surprise.

If you've heard it at all it probably dates you lol. Bet there aren't many younguns ever heard of it.

Just for everyone's entertainment...

 

[sherlockholmes]

Just a quick question, does anyone know if a full carto will last as long as a short battery? I always keep my cartos topped up throughout the day but I was wondering if I take a fully charged battery and a full volt carto to work would it be ok to vape the same carto until the battery runs out or will it damage the carto doing it this way? If it will last then I could just top up the carto and charge the battery when I get home instead of having to take extra cartos out with me.
I wouldn't want to do this if it will shorten the life of my cartos though.

My short batteries always run out of power before emptying a full carto.

 

[FaniFox]

My short batteries always run out of power before emptying a full carto.

Yes, mine too. Usually almost 2 short batteries run out of power before emptying a full carto.

 

[holly77]

Thanks, that's good to know, I might just top off my carto whenever my battery dies then. I'm constantly topping off because I'm scared I'm going to burn it.

Excellent news, Imagine!

I like certain flavors, but vaping isn't enough to get me to stop smoking, either. I think there's something beyond nicotine in analogs that I crave, and that's why I'm going to try Whole Tobacco Alkaloid juice. Someone on ECF was discussing this issue with others, and he, being a chemist, decided to try to separate out more than just the nicotine from tobacco. Many people, who say they have trouble just vaping and still smoke analogs to fill in the gap, seem to find the WTA juices more satisfying. Of course first try to find a tasty flavor, but I did that, and still I need cigarettes. I'm hoping the WTA will work for me. It can be ordered from Aroma Ejuice, though they had it on sale last night and are probably sold out by now. But they are striving to make enough to keep it in continuous supply. I have no idea whether it'll work with me. Some people swear by it, and others say it didn't do a thing for them. I'll just have to wait and see.

It is funny how our taste works. The first six months or so I couldn't stand the tobacco flavors. I liked Vanilla (still do) and candy flavors. It wasn't until about six months off of the smokes that I could really enjoy the tobacco flavors. Now they are what I use most of the time other then Vanilla of course... Candy flavors are now way to sweet.

Another funny thing is, I'll be going along minding my own business and thin read a post of someones with a negative comments about the flavor I'm vaping...and suddenly that's all I can taste. I used to like RY4 until someone said it tasted like burned popcorn and now I cant vape it without tasting that.
