Sick of the local shops...

[hotarudraconis]

Well, at this point I sit here vaping on a juice that I can't stand, wishing I knew of a better solution. With a limited income, I can't afford to keep a bank account, due to the fees that rack up. This also means no credit card unfortunately.

Due to the no card issue, I have been going to the "local" shops to get my e-ciggs and e-juice. This costs me about $2 in tolls, and another 11.50 in gas.

Gas is not the only issue though. The service I got at the shop was great, but as time went on, I found out that only one of the employees had knowledge of e-cigs and their merchandise, while the other two had no clue what they were doing. Still being new to the vaping world, I got sucked in by people that seemed to know what they were talking about.

The e-juices from there seem to not be worth it either. I am not sure if it is the e-cig, the juices, the nicotine levels, or end user error. I am well versed in foods, and I can usually point out subtle flavors in them. With these juices that I have been getting taste like the bubble solution that ya used as a kid... not so wonderful to vape constantly.

I have had offers from a friend and my mom to both start purchasing them online for me at this point... mainly because they can't stand the smell of be smoking analogs. Not sure where to start though because not only do I know what would be the right nicotine level, but I also don't know what flavors I would want to go for.

Currently I am using a Joytech Ego-T (and I wonder if it is the real deal or not at times)
Right now I am vaping a Black Cherry 24mg from a brand that has the same initals as a religion's holy figure

Thanks again for reading my ramblings

H.D.

That stinks. I see in some discount drug stores and even in some grocery stores they sell preloaded Visa's? Maybe something like that would work? Buy a $20 visa when you need it and order supplies online? If that does work for you I would make sure that the place you want to order from (a juice supplier that you want to try or something) accepts that type of card before you purchase the card.

Just an idea.

Put money on a prepaid Visa/Master Card and start ordering online that way.

Another vote for a pre-paid credit card.

well, luckily the friend and my mom, I wouldn't have to pay the loading fees to... I just hand them $ for $. Again, as I said, they hate me smelling like analogs... so it is win win lol

Well you answered that part of your own question!

As to strength and flavor...you just have to experiment. As a former heavy smoker I'm good with 24 mg so far, and like you, don't like very sweet juices all of the time. Check out the e-liquid forum here; I learned a lot from lurking a bit on there.

Do whatever you have to do to stay off the analogs !!! I agree with the others, your next juice should be 24mg - if you've been doing something weaker up to this point, you'll see a huge difference.

Go Mom!!!
As a parent, I've switched from analogs and have set up both of my adult children w e-cigs of their own.
Makes it a win win for her too!
