I thought just picking my first PV was tough...

When I ordered my kit, I got a package of cartos with Smooth Tabbacco, ordered some extra cartos of the flavors Coffee and Menthol.

Couple days later, I ordered two bottles of juice, one of coffee espresso and the other of Mocha Lite, and a package of cartos of chocolate.

The next day, I ordered my USB pass-through and a bottle of butterscotch liquid.

Today...today I ordered bottles of Mr. Dew, Peanut Butter, and Pina Colada.

My questions to you fine folks of ECF are the following:

Does the urge to order multiple juices to try out ever slow down?

And, of my choices, what do you folks rate them?:vapor:

You don't want to know how much money I have spent in the last couple of weeks on parts and juice...I have a buyer's craze. I loved the first product so much I had to find new and improved things and it just kept piling on. Now that I am looking at all my bills I think I'll slow down lol

The brand that got me back into vaping is Backwoods Brew and I am for sure going to try every single one of his flavors.

Find the juice you like and spend your money on hardware to improve the taste. If you find a good juice stick with it and spend your money on hardware. Once you have a good flavor and a good set up try some different juices thats just my opinion.

Until you get a good unit theres no need wasting money on juices when u already found one thats decent. Also a juice you like only gets better as your unit improves.

I am not a coffee person (tea for me) and not familiar with your tobacco but I love chocolates, tobaccos with cocoa in them, tobaccos with vanilla and/or caramel in them (love FreedomSmokeUSA oRYental 4 - a sweet caramelly vanilla tobacco). I went from straight tobaccos to Backwoods Brew Casablanca (a Turkish blend with some cocoa in it) to adding vanilla, chocolate, oRYental 4 to other tobaccos, to vaping Backwoods Brew Vanilla Bean most of the time now, and sometimes vaping chocolate and caramel based juices.

My one juice fave right now that is not in those categories is FreedomSmokeUSA Voodoo - something fruity and some dark (and I smell spices - maybe cinnamon).

Yeah it's pretty crazy in the beginning to get even just some of what you want! Pay attention if certain juices make you crave an analog and avoid vaping those alone for a while. In the beginning I had to vape tobacco juices with good TH. I could not vape fruity/foody juices alone and be satisfied, but some people have no problem with that.

It's easy to get carried away, finding this source of so much info is good, but can also be overwhelming. I found one thing, then another, then another, and of course you want to try them all, but pace yourself. I now have a stock of supplies I am not using much now, and some things have a shelf life, so sit back and enjoy what you have for now and wait a bit before you get swept up into impulse buying...it's easy to get sucked into, if you don't actively pace yourself now.

Only as an aside I have been wondering just how much baloney the little notices are under folks posts as to how much they have been saving.

Not in a mean way, not at all, hobbies are like that... but it has been a little funny.

I am pretty sure the same thing will happen to me, and starting tomorrow I will have to put one of those little notices at the bottom of my posts too.

Even if I didn’t actually save THAT much money, no question it will be cheaper, and certainly healthier.

FWIW: I think mine is pretty accurate.

Astro - there are actually sig banners that calculate how much you spend on vaping (cart, etc.) per week, so if you want a fairly accurate count you can find one of those. Mine is probably fairly close as well since I deducted the original costs and changed my original cig intake to counter what I might spend (pro rated) per day.

the novelty passed for me in a month or so. i really am just a practical person. tobacco here in new york is ten dollars a pack of cigs, so i just figured out smoking an ecig costs next to nothing if you know how to shop.
i simply get the 555 e juice from lite cigs in pennsylvania and my cool carts cartomizers from vapor for life.
maybe the novelty won't wear off for you. but you have to ask why did you go to using an ecig instead of tobacco in the first place? for me it was both health and financial. i like the idea that ecigs really has done away with the addiction or attraction of tobacco products. i feel now i can take it or leave it as far as smoking goes, whether it is tobacco or ecigs.

Hi, I'm new too, and finding this all very exciting and overwhelming. I expect to receive my first 510 disposable tomorrow with a few sample flavors to see how I feel about vaping in general.. but I am pretty sure I already know I will love it!

Since all the flavor descriptions I keep reading all over these forums are so excited and enticing, I already feel my urge to sample zillions of flavors rising. I'm still getting a handle on all these abbreviations and have no idea what mix of juice will do it for me, but I guess you have to start somewhere!

Wish me luck. :)
