vape?s... Yer right. One's fav sucks to others. But my 2 cents... quacks gizzard juice. (Chocolate, caramel and maybe some vanilla) Or quack snack (milk chocolate). I thot it would be odd vaping chocolate. In fact, kind of a stomach turning thot. But being a chocoholic, gave it a shot. Been my ADV for nearly 2 years.

Agreed! Besides Ellen having a tuphph time to begin with, our 'help' wasn't helping much, if at all.

Tickled she's gettin' a suitable setup she can grow with at her own pace!

Ellen, since we now know what you'll be receiving, later today I'll post a few hints fer your initial setup. Dat's assuming your benefactor hasn't already done so. Oops, dat sounded a lil' crass. My bad! Just LMK if dey haven't...

We just want to get ya to a happy place/vape!
Thanks, I'd appreciate the help. I read myrany's post saying she'd been mentoring someone for a few months. So it's a relief not to be doing the self guided tour anymore. just assume I know nothing, because I don't.

Awesome! This is a perfect set up! Portable, fixed battery, great flavor tank that holds a lot of juice! The draw is tighter, but you can slipstream air around the drip tip & there are additional voils that will work on it if you decide to change to a more advanced style of vaping. But for a beginner that is just learning & starting the vape journey, this this is perfect. Excellent! I kept trying to point you in this direction, but the conversation kept veering off course into the very things that had you so confused to begin with. I"m so glad someone stepped up! Thank you ECF Angels!

you are NOT on your own anymore :)

This old purple kitty has your back.

ok well maybe not on juice since I stopped buying juice a long time ago.
Maybe look into other dessert flavors since the bananas foster worked?

That will be good fairly new to vaping and always trying to learn more.

My basic rules
1. If it is working for you don't mess with it. Shineyitis is a very real disease around here. ;)

2. Backups for your backups. Every vaper needs at least 2 mods (with extra batteries if it has removable batteries). 2 chargers or charger cables. At least 2 attys preferably 3 (spare parts if you can get them). At least a one month supply of coils for your attys (2 month supply is better and required if you are ordering from China). At least a 30 day supply of juice.

3. If we confuse you by our posts don't be afraid to say slow down and backup....ya lost me here_________

4. Don't let the fact that some of us really get into the technical end of vaping put you off. No need to ever touch that side of it if you don't want to. Just skip right over those posts.

5. Don't mess with a Mech mod or rebuilding an atty until you learn some of that technical stuff (Purely for safety sake). Many here can teach you.

I just got my stab in the dark Mt baker juice. I have menthol back stocked, and wintergreen. It's finding other flavors that's been pretty hit and miss. The bananas foster was the best of the lot. But don't generally like fruit. Coffee flavors are ok, thought I'd try halo next. Taste is so subjective. Inhaling cereal just strikes me as unnatural, but to each their own. Would love to hear everyone's favourites, gives me a place to start.
I like cutwood unicorn milk.vapesauze fruit loops, still trying to find a real good menthol.

Well put Myrany. Vaping can be easy if you approach it slowly. You surely don't have to be all technical about it. There's enough decent gear out there now-a-days for beginners, just have to sort through the 'junk and/or hype' and get a good basic setup.

Myrany, we've beenworking with Vape? for about 3 or 4 weeks now. Everytime we get her to a point where she's not quite so confused & the confusing things are starting to get flushed from her head, someone who hasn't been following pops in, starts talking about all the things that were confusing her, blows all she's learned h*** & we have to start over. We had her at the istick & Nautilus over a week ago & then got ambushed by tc, wires, batteries, & more device choice talk. Too many choices & too many decisions against all the bad info she was given in her beginning is why she's having problems. We've been over all of this 3 times now.

a kind soul from the porch is forwarding all the way to au an I stick 40 with nautilus. Including extra coils, jeez. What generousity! The pay it forward is alive and well, above and beyond. I was just about paralysed with indesicion. So, it's a real blessing, and my thanks. Hope I can do the same eventually, but not with these vaporfi things. I can quit spinning my wheels, thank goodness.
This is what I really love about the porches. Willing to do more than just give lip service. Thank you to the Porch Angel.
When I first started vaping I didn't want to try any flavors. Mike, the guy at The Vapor Hut who was helping me, finally got me to try a little bit of vanilla. Wow, the vanilla really was great. After a while, he had me try his favorite, Rumchata. A really smooth vape with a hint of cinnamon. That turned out to be my ADV (All Day Vape) for about 3 or 4 months. I then started making my own juices and fell in love with peaches. I had been vaping DIY peach for a couple months and I got a free 20ml of the juice of my choice. I took a bottle of Rumchata. OMG! That stuff tasted awful! Yeap, my taste buds totally changed. I found out this is a very common occurrence. Now I am enjoying a mango/vanilla custard. So, @Vape? when I find a flavor I like I vape it until my taste buds can't handle it anymore.

You know honestly I have had the best luck mentoring people by taking them into PMs. Cuts down on the confusion factor considerably.

It is not reasonable to expect everyone else on the thread to tone it down. In PMs things can be kept simple.

But don't generally like fruit.

Eating or vaping?

Taste is so subjective. Inhaling cereal just strikes me as unnatural, but to each their own.

True as to subjective and ETO. But as far as unnatural, so are cigarettes!

Would love to hear everyone's favourites, gives me a place to start.

My best advice as to fav flavs, find at least two ADV flavs and stick with that/those vendor(s). Once your t-buds are given a 'break', venture into other jooses and/or DIY. As mentioned by others, what's good today may not be tomorrow.

I'll spare you my favs since I DIY.

My basic rules...

Sage advice!

The cool fire is a good mod. I don't know anything about the isub. The nautilus might be alitte tight on airflow mine is but not as tight as your using now. IMO I would go with the kanger subtank more coil options then the isub. Will work on either mod. If you need help just ask many great people here on a few other forums that sometimes get crappy when asked a simple question.

I just kept getting told to watch you tube videos. They were either too basic or 2 advanced. My brain rejects most anything to do with equations. I'm glad I stumbled in here, or I'd still be doing pointless Skype meetings with vaporfi. They don't turn on their camera, so they can't actually show me anything.
