Welcome! I'm another geezer who made the switch. Like others have said, I started with the tobacco flavors trying to get something that tasted like my cigars and avoided the "wilder" flavors. But, that has changed. I now have a couple bottles of tobacco flavoring that I find myself going to less and less often. My current favorite vape is one that I make, a blueberry and blackberry mix! Just ordered the incrediants to make a blueberry, cranberry mix! There are literally thousands of options, take ride to the wild side and try them out!

Good luck and enjoy!

Welcome from another 40+ year tobacco addict!

Check out the Aspire Nova-S BDC Pyrex model...Pyrex surrounded by steel. I have several and love 'em. I have dropped them on rocks, pavement and accidentally flung one against a stone fireplace hearth (don't ask :facepalm: ) and only scuffed the finish.

As to flavors..not all will like those fruity/baked goods/sweet vapes. Personally I buy base and DIY my own. I vape straight up unflavored 18 mg 30PG/70VG mix and a DIY menthol from menthol crystals at the same potency and ratio. I played around with quite a few variations and these two work the best for me. A side benefit with these mixtures is that my first set of coils lasted over 6 weeks each..of course, your mileage may vary!

Like a kid at Christmas, I waited for the postman to get here today. My first purchase was in route and I opened it before the tracking could be up-dated to delivered. Sigelei Zmax V5 AVP Telescope Flat Top Kit, a couple of Glass Version Aspire-ET-S-BDC Bottom Dual Coil toppers along with Aspire™ BDC Replacement Coils / Atomizer Heads (5 pack). Got the package opened in no time, put the blue 18650 on the charger and headed to the closest vape store to pick up some juice.

The store closest to me happened to be in what could only be called an adult toy store, but, I was on a juice mission. With probably well over a couple hundred different selections of juice, I was overwhelmed. Fortunately, the babe who worked there, probably a retired porn-star, was a vapor, calmed me down and let me try some different flavors. This tasteing, through a plastic covered piece over the drip tube of a supplied EVOD, really enlightened me. Of course, I had my Zmax with the 18350 at half a charge and a couple of dry toppers. Was she impressed? Not in the least. She was vaping a Reo with a sub-ohm dripper. With her help, I left with a bottle of something called UFO and a bottle of Hello Ice. Both, a 50/50 mix with 16mg of nic.

Being an old Derelict, I did not even notice the hit to my CC until I got home. $13.99 per 10ml bottle! I guess, the cost per bottle is the price paid for being able to sample about fifteen different flavors of juice while being tutored by a porn-star! I did notice, when I got home, the flavors were different when sampled in my very own PV.

Anyway, now the quest begins for my favorite juice. Samplers to be had, while I dream of that rebuildable bottom feeder sitting on my future REO and several other "toys"

The slope is slippery and I can not see the bottom!

:lol: ''calmed me down'' yes I bet she did. Youll need something bigger than a ZMAX to impress her my friend. :lol:

Welcome to ECF. You made a very good choice with the Sigelei Zmax telescopic V5. You will be very happy with it. I prefer 18490/18500 batteries most of the time. 18350 is great when I really want small size. I use 18650 only at home.

You will find a lot of Sigelei V3 and V5 users here with a lot of good info about using and maintaining this rig. The V3 and V5 are very similar.

Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescopic (flat top or other) reports: one week later

Stop by and say hello after your post count hits 15.

The most important user tip regards battery tube adjustment. Don't overtighten these rigs like they do in the YouTube videos.

Welcome...I guess you could say I am old and I love vape. Just started mixing my own and really getting into different flavors. I didn't think I would like the sweet but I do. Cotton Candy and Blueberry Blast are great. I also really like Silver...is a little bit sweet and has menthol flavor. I vape at 1.2 mg nicotine and it suites me fine.
