I've been waffling for quite a while about getting an MVP to keep my itaste vvs company.

So I wandered over to iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group today and they had a couple of posts about https://www.completevape.com/ having the same price as the eBay supplier.

Just snarfed a Hunter for less than $30!

BTW, da coupon code I used was 200C12010.

Thanx!!! Just got an Energy Series MVP 2 for a little less than a VV V3...$29.92 with FREE shipping!!!

Always happy to help other people spend their money.

Sorry - someone was talking about peaches and cream cotton yarn and I can't remember who....

I bought some. This gives the nice hit without the cotton taste? I got the "ecru" (which I'm hoping isn't dyed, lol). So just boil some up. How many strands did you use for a wick? I usually take out one of the flavour wicks in my coils, so is one strand equal to one wick?.... Thank you!

Actually only $30 if you act quickly while the sale price mentioned earlier on the thread is still in effect.

I might be the only person in the world that does NOT want a wood mod. They are beautiful but I would play heck keeping them clean and it would annoy the tar out of me if it got stained.

Well, much as it pains me to admit it, I have to confess to being a somewhat "older folk" -- 53, this coming May. I've smoked since just before I turned 14, in 1975, and have tried about 4 times to quit, since about 1984, when I was 23 -- so smoked for nearly 39 yrs now, and have been trying to quit for just about 30 of those 39. Frankly I had about given up hope of ever being able to quit, though I've managed, in the last 16 yrs, to go from 3+ pks a day, to, right now, about a half-pack a day.

A couple months ago, a friend of my husband's gave me a "fin" e-cig; I thought it was an excellent idea, poorly executed -- tasted like pipe tobacco to me. Then, just before this past xmas, I bought an "Njoy," in the light (gold) version. Was more pleased with it; the size, shape and feel were just about right, and the throat hit was amazing -- but it tasted like eucalyptus, more Hall's cough drop than cigarette. So, then I bought a Blu, which against tasted like pipe tobacco, but was the most expensive disposable e-cig at my local Walgreen's. So about 2 wks ago I came to my computer and typed "e-cigarettes" into Google, and found this place; last Saturday I got an "eRoll"; I really like the size, shape, and general look/feel/operation of the thing; I got the silver one, because it looks nothing like a real cigarette, so some imbecile won't be telling me, hey, you can't smoke here -- to which I would have to reply, seen a lot of silver cigarettes with blue fire, have you?

This past week has been challenging; 18mg was WAYYYYY too strong; 12mg seemed ok at first, but later made me very ill. So now I have to get some juice in 6mg, and something NOT tobacco, because the smell of the tobacco e-juice and e-vapor just kinda grosses me out. I don't smoke that much anymore, and I think I'm already starting to smell how foul they really are, and smelling the "e-juice" kind is really awful to me. So I'm going to get some strong peppermint and hot cinnamon, and see if those might not substitute very well for a "throat hit." I guess I figure, if I'm going to leave cigarettes behind, why drag the smell of 'em with me? :)

So that's where I've gotten to, in 1 wk of attempted vaping. At least my consumption of cigarettes has gone down, since I've been involved in this, and there is hope that it will continue decreasing until I finally just ask, why bother? Vaping is how I intend to become a MUCH "older folk", instead of dying too young with some horrible lung disease, as my father did.

I bought some. This gives the nice hit without the cotton taste? I got the "ecru" (which I'm hoping isn't dyed, lol). So just boil some up. How many strands did you use for a wick? I usually take out one of the flavour wicks in my coils, so is one strand equal to one wick?.... Thank you!

I got white, figuring bleach wasn't as obnoxious as dye, and don't bother boiling. But boiling is a good way to make sure anything foreign is gone. (Of course, ecru could be less chemically adulterated than white!)

I use a full piece for flavor wicks - on my PnC, that's 4 strands. So maybe take two out since you say to take one out normally. Kangers have two 1 mm strands of flavor. You're cutting that in half, so half the yarn?

I mentioned this yesterday... I use it with a microcoil on my Kayfun lites and don't separate at all. I think if you do..there are four strands so maybe just remove one for your use? With a new wick you might get a slight cotton taste for the first vape or two...I don't notice it at all.

Welcome to the porch, Andrea. Great story of your progress, and attitude. Indeed, it's all about the ones we don't smoke! Some of us made the switch quickly, some not so, but it doesn't matter. It's a process, and as long as you keep at the process, you're doing fine!

Right you are, tobacco-ey flavors aren't for everyone, and the wide variety of flavors can help keep us from getting bored :)
And with enough toppers, you can have a lot of flavors ready to go. I typically have 8 or 10 filled and ready, some are main courses, some are desserts.
