HK, thanks for the info. I finally tried it straight and the throat hit at first was very strong. By day two, it was fine. As far as the JC juice goes, I've read some posts on here about the juice containing "goop". I don't know what people mean by that but I was wondering if you have had any problems with it. So far, I have only ordered juice from TW and I have to say, that their cust service, shipping and juice are awesome. Just ordered 24mg Hilton and Vanilla. Hope they are as good as the Marlboro. Also, just curious, how heavy a smoker you were since you were able to switch right away??
