lemon basil...intriguing! I'd try that!!! Well, I started with a disposable to give it a try , and then picked up a 510 kit. It was great to a degree but I was a 2PAD smoker for 40 years and I could not get the batteries to keep up with me. A menthol smoker, I wasn't terribly fond of either prefill cartridge that came with the kit, and found other menthol fluids and cartomizers to be a better choice. I cut way back on the smokes, more than half, but not quit. After finding ECF, the appearance of my PV in relation to a cig suddenly was of no importance, satisfaction was. I purchased a Tornado kit (Ego clone) some LR cartos and some new juices and flavors to try. Much better!!! And during a killer sale I couldn't resist picking up a 1000mah USB pass-through, which is now affectionately referred to as my umbilical cord, since I am always connected to it. Had I only known. My advice now to new vapers is pick up a pass-through, a pack of LR cartos and a small variety of appealing sounding juices in small bottles to sample...can't really lose! That's not to say there aren't better combos out there but its a great jump off point!
As for fluids... I buy some juice and I DIY, but I have to confess, I have yet to find my go to flavor! I tend to gravitate to the unusual (lemon basil) and enjoy variety but my dirty little "secret" is whatever is missing is still made up for, most unfortunately, by an occasional, ahem, cigarette. I have tried snus, I have tried every combo I could think of, but other than the WTA which I have yet to try, I still suffer that daily craving. I keep hoping if I did find my go to vape that might satisfy the urge, which is why I jumped in on this thread, but since I have never "officially" quit, I probably don't even qualify to enter. But I would love to!

We first heard of Ecigs at the mall and first tried it there but did not jump right in and buy. Decided to do a little research watching Youtube videos and reading reviews and bought our first kit. The Ego T's. Felt they were good enough and kept us both away from analogs, but still felt it was still lacking a bit. Finally, after finding the ECF forums, which I've now become obsessed with, we got a ton of recommendations to try LR cartos and to get a Kgo with a bigger battery than just the 650mah. So we placed another order for those. That definitely was a bit better but we kept hearing all about how Mods were better and 5 volt vaping would blow our socks off, so of course we had to try that too. Now we are pretty happy with our VV lavatubes and mainly use SR Boge cartos but always looking to try the "New Best Thing". We've tried every CE2, 3, and 4, Dual coil and horizontal coils, the megas and everything in between from the XL to the XXXXL cartos, and even the new Stardusts, but still like the good old basic, SR, boge cartos best. The others have their place in our vaping lives though. As far as juices, we are still in the process of trying them all too. That too has been quite an adventure. Some good, some bad, but have found a few vaping staples and always looking for more.
Vaping for me has not only taken the place of smoking those dirty, nasty analog cigarettes, but has also become a bit of a hobby. I really enjoy it a lot more than I ever did smoking. I haven't saved a dime since quitting but I may have just saved our lives, as well as improving the lives of are kids and all those around us. It's been 2 months now and neither of us have touched a cigarette since and have no urge to ever again.
I'm so grateful I found ecigs as well as the ECF forums and am always looking to try new juices! Thanks for the contest!
