First off, hello everyone and thanks for this forum that quickly became my primary source of information while researching e cigarettes. My friends and I have been casually discussing these things, but none of us had any first hand information. After seeing a rather biased news report (won't say who it was, but they treated something I do know about similarly), I knew there was another half to the story and I found most of it on this forum. I read up a bit here and there, actually took a trip around, etc. After deducing that my local headshop was overcharging to a staggering degree, I wound up deciding to take the plunge, using what I read here to find a trustworthy vendor. So my order's on the way (a 510, for the record) and I'm eagerly awaiting it...along with my friends.
See, I'm in a pretty remote area by most standards. You know that little chunk of Maryland dangling into the Atlantic? That's me. While the years turn the area younger demographically, it's still pretty remote and fairly removed from what most would consider connected to their surroundings. So while my friends and I would discuss these things, we literally knew no one who had them. I only was able to find a single example of it in person in said headshop, which was likely the absolute cheapest model out there (the store clerk looked at me as if I had two heads when I asked if it had different flavors). So I've apparently become the guinea pig for an entire circle of smoking friends, possibly more considering the number of smokers I'm exposed to regularly.
So in case the order doesn't come in time for it, I was hoping to get a question I'm sure will come up tomorrow during our tabletop game night (we're big damn nerds). We smoke and drink, almost always together (about 75% of the group claims some Irish blood, so take that as you will). Obviously, there's a certain magic about the combination of smoke and booze, so I was wondering how this plays out with vaping. Does it leave enough of a flavor in your mouth to mingle with the drink of choice, or is it too light for that? Keep in mind I'll likely be telling this to others, so feel free to be as descriptive as you want.
Sorry about the longwinded (and mostly unnecessary) first post. Thanks again for what seems to be a rather friendly and helpful community. I hope to be at least lurking here quite a bit.
