You aren't alone........
When I got my 1st kit I was skeptical, but excited for it to arrive. I loved it!
It didn't last nearly as long as I imagined or advertized! Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!
I placed an order immediately for replacement carts. Notified of shipping delays...geesh.
Figure I better get a couple of addys....they still haven't arrived after a month.
I found this forum and the wonderful people here.......sigh.....thank you all.
Research time. I found what PG, VG and every other abbreviation/slang I could was.
I read for days on end here. Still am....my wife is happy but thinks I'm posessed...lol
I ordered some 36mg juice(to cut/dilute), menthol crystals and got some USP glycerine from the drug store.
Hey,it works! Still missing something and I'm still hitting/craving the analogs, just not nearly as bad. Some juices cut better than others.....it was the tobacco flavor.....duh
I too have a limited income and worked 25+ yrs as a technical engineer and have a good background in chemistry. Many don't and people here will help explain things to you. Don't be afraid to ask. It's a growing process.
So, I spent 2 weeks, still with some analogs, till I made what that was right for me.
Now, I purchase more than I need and a little extra hardware on occasion for backup.
Been analog free for over 2 weeks now, don't miss them a bit and I feel better.
Kate51 is right......don't panic.....with time comes success.
Its tough when its you and an answer is so close.
Now, to get back to work on a replaceable atty coil......time to give back.
Sorry for the long post.
