Can you call an ultra light 100 a cigarette LOL
seriously though... I was a full flavor menthol smoker and I did not find any that tasted even close. I found myself trying other flavors (fruits, sodas, candies and such) and now I don't even want a tobacco flavor anymore! Well sometimes I do lmao... be adventurous ;-) & vape on!

Marl menthol lights here but I have smoked other menthols as well. The past year I've only bought whatever was on "special" just to get a buck off :p.

I like FSUSA menthol ultra. Does the taste resemble cig menthols? Not sure, cus once u start vaping even on the first day, your cigs doesn't tasted the same. I don't remember what it use to taste like anymore even I'm still smoking! I smoke 1 day somedays 2 then no smoke for 2-3days and back again. It's just bitter and heavy, and the after taste isn't very pleasant... i can't even taste the menthols in it anymore.

It's a good idea to order menthols and other flavor to try: tobacco, coffee, juices, candies, cakes etc.. have fun! :)

I went the route of wanting something that tasted like my analogs. I figured out the hard way that there isn't one and there never will be. I came up with my own version of RY4 that is quickly becoming my daily vape. I'm also quite fond of coffee and fruity flavors (except cherry...tastes like that paste in the dentists office.) Vaping has opened up a whole world of flavor for me that I could NEVER have with analogs.

Hi Kathy. Fellow Ultralights smoker, now a new vaper. I was a non-menthol smoker though.

I think you were asking about the e-cigarettes themselves. I think most people here use reusable (except for replacing parts) 2-part or 3-part e-cigarettes. Some use prefilled cartridges or cartomizers. But I think most refill cartridges or cartomizers with the hundreds of types and flavors of ejuice available on the web. Ejuice can be bought in various size dropper bottles with a choice of nicotine strength. Different companies use various mixes of PG or VG too (I think that makes the vapor and feel of smoking). I found some of the smallest bottles hard to squeeze drops out of (wimp here). The 402 is a bit light hitwise but it's what I'm trying first.

So basically, any particular e-cigarette can taste like whatever juice you use to fill carts or cartos. Some e-cigs have more flavor, some have more vapor or bigger carts etc etc.

The various models vary a bunch in size, vapor production and hit, and even shape. It seems like many new vapers (including me) start with a device that is close to the size and look of a cigarette. Of those I think two popular ones are the RN4081 (I heard it makes lots of vapor, and it seems about as long as a 100 but a bit thicker) and the M4xx group (3 battery lengths available - M401, M402, M403 with the 403 being the shortest in length and battery life). Some popular models that are a bit larger are the 510 and the KR808D-1.

I didn't take big drags off my lights - I smoked them slowly, mostly sipping at them. So I bought a 2- battery M402 kit with manual batteries and I added a spare atomizer, some juice, some cart refilling material and a PCC (charging case - I am in love with it) to my order. Most people here who don't need to smoke hands-free seem to recommend manual batteries for more control over your drag vs the automatics which can trigger from wind etc. Every model probably has a downside - the M4xx series has very small cartridges and is light on vapor but decent battery life and good taste compared to some models. A lot of people eventually go to something like the 510 that puts of more vapor with maybe less flavor and shorter battery life. I may end up there but I'm starting with the 402 (however I am envious of all of the cool colors available for some of the larger models).

Super beginners guides in the Library here - and also read the other beginner links and videos in the sticky posts at the top of the new member forum.
The ECF Library

Really - read the beginner's guide and watch videos in the New Member stickies and on Youtube. That all helped me make my decision and I also avoided a lot of newbie mistakes that could have cost me an atomizer or a battery.

Good luck!
