Hi all,
After toying with cigarette-sized devices for a year (and failing), I recently got a decent PV and quit smoking immediately. I didn't even mean to. With a working device, it was as simple as changing brands. I quit on Labor Day 2012; and while I'm still a noob, I've done more than my share of reading & testing, and I've proven a pretty quick study. Now I'm setting up a few starter kits for friends, and the only problem is that I don't know what e-juice to include.
Here's the starter kit:
---eGo Twist (650 mAh)
---Vivi Nova "Mini" (2ml capacity; 2.4 ohm head)
This is what I upgraded to within my first week, and it's a solid performer.
I got off cigarettes with what I assume was a Dekang "American" flavor (24mg), which tasted like crap and was chokingly harsh. But it worked. Then I used someone's house blends of "Marlboro" and "Camel" (neither was my brand; both were pretty honeyed.) Currently I'm trying different juices with varying results, and no strong contender has emerged from the testing. It's not a taste thing either, b/c I'm not that picky yet
What's missing is a middle-of-the-road, satisfactory, "tobacco" e-juice. So far, I see some issues with the commonly available "tobacco" flavors. For a current smoker:
---555 is too nutty and dull
---RY4 is too candied
I may suggest getting 10ml of each, from pretty much anyone, and mixing them. But that's a bit "advanced" for someone who isn't even used to a button yet.
So, what do you recommend? Remember, this isn't about finesse: it's about a "good enough" e-juice for someone making the change. You know, just a straightforward, mediocre, "comfort zone" e-juice. I'd prefer something with USA ingredients ("comfort zone"), because the priority here is to quit smoking. That comes first. Everything else comes third.
