Thanks ECF!!! On Day Three Analog FREE!!!

[mykanix]

Like many people, I have tried and failed at giving analogs the boot with every method possible. Well, almost every method. I new nothing of e-cigs until I went to the National Stock Show in Denver. There was an e-cig vendor there with a booth. I thought it was the most ridiculous idea I had ever heard. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I Purchased a Npro locally and struggled for about a month with problems i.e. batteries, carts, etc and continued using a few analogs. I spent a bit more getting settled in to vaping than I would have preferred but so far it has been worth it. I finally have a commercial mod that will last all day and have a 510 and Npro as backups (I have no more excusses and don't need any).

The only thing left is to nail down a couple flavors I really enjoy. I have tried a few of tobacco flavors so far and now I have some foofy fruity stuff on the way. Any e-liquid suggestions for a 15yr Winston analog user would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU ECF!!! - WITHOUT FINDING YOU, I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE THREE DAYS ANALOG FREEEEEEE!!!

Congrats mykanix!
I would suggest some juices, but it's such a personal preference thing. I went through about 150 flavors (literally) before I settled on my one all day/everyday vape. Just buy small $4-$6 bottles of stuff to test until you find 'the one'.
Also, don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone on flavors, you may be surprised what you end up liking.

Edit:
BTW: Mine ended up being "cool raspberry" from Vermont vapor. Six months ago, I would have NEVER guessed that would end up being my fav.

Thanks highping! I was surprised to find the best I have had so far is a mix of some sampler stuff from JC. Spices and orange stuff are usually not my cup of tea but it was fairly good. Definitely outside of my comfort zone. Have some apple, peach, vanilla, cherry and RY4. Hope I finally find a daily juice.

Congrats on day three!

I can't really recommend any flavor cause the ones I have liked have been a complete divergent from what I smoked.

I smoked Kool regulars for 17 years. So I tried several menthol flavors, they all were decent, but unsatisfying. This one was to minty, this one was like puffin on vicks, that one was good but not strong enouff, etc etc.

What am I vapin now? Atomic fireball and Pina colada. Seriously. And now the search is on for a good orange juice. It's wacky.

All these years with the same cig, now I am absolutely overwhelmed at the endless flavor possibilities.

A big Congrats on you day three and you determination to stick with it despite some earlier problems and obstacles along the way!

I'm not sure why but I've tried many flavors and for a short time I was hung up on English Toffee, but I've always returned to and still with the cigarette/tobacco flavors all the time. I currently enjoy both the RY4 and Marlb flavors but have also dabbled with making my own Camel flavor from snus which actually turned out pretty good.

Before long you'll settle into a few flavors that you'll enjoy daily.

Way to go mykanix! Happy to hear that you are enjoying vaping and on to day 4! Wish you continued success on your journey! Happy Vaping!

Congrats on kicking the analogs! I spent outside of my comfort zone as well on trial and error. I think that is to be expected for just about everyone. Finding the right equipment, juice, flavors, and misc gear adds up fast. Which mod did you purchase btw? That is probably my next step but letting the credit card cool off for few months to zero it out.

Hi mykanix! Congrats on day 3 smoke-free! It may take some trial and error to settle in and find your "all day" vape.

If you like the tobacco-type flavors check out the E-Liquid review section of the boards. You can get a good idea of peoples opinions and descriptions of different e-liquids and suppliers. I was a menthol smoker and although I learned quickly that no liquid will exactly replicate a cigarette, I found Halo and I love their menthols. They also have a few "tobacco" varieties that are also really good. I like the Freedom, which is not menthol, but I find it a really nice change.

I also just tried the Atomic Fireball (by Tasty Vapor) (it changed names now to Atomic Cinnacide). It's a really awesome! I've since started trying other "flavors" that I never thought I'd enjoy... and wow - weather you like it or it isn't really your kind of flavor, TV gets those flavors right on the money.

I'll always have my "all day" menthol, it's my comfort vape - but I did finally learn that vaping really is about options and having a few flavors that you enjoy expands your "juice vocabulary"

Check out the E-Liquid Suppliers Section as well as the Reviews - it really will give you a starting point to find your "comfort vape" as well as a few things to switch things up with!

I never thought I'd like flavors like "Buttered Rum" or "German Chocolate Cake"... but now I am looking to try even more flavor options.

There are so many interesting choices... it's all part of the process, and it's a lot of fun!!


Good Luck!!

Congrats on the switch !

I've found ...what i think i would love to vape...i don't so much. Something I think i might not like...i love...

It's a guessing game as far as eliquid goes... Try lots of sample sizes if possible until you find the 3 or 4 that you love. Then you should be good

Congratulations darlin!

Congratulations! Vaping is a great adventure. I'm a 2-pack a day full-flavor 100mm guy -- smoked 50 years. Had no intention of quitting. Somebody showed me an e-cig (V4L) and I enjoyed it so I thought I'd try. Haven't had or wanted an analog since. Amazing!

Flavors are trial and error. I HATED methol analogs. LOVE V4L's version. DON'T like Tasty Vapor's menthol tobacco. LOVE Tasty Vapor's Cafe Mocha (it's my favorite all-day vape).

Like Tasty Vapor's Atomic Fireball (straight and mixed with their Tobacco). Like V4L's Mint (another great general vape for me).

Like a lot of people, I thought I wanted the closest to an analog "tobacco" flavor I could find. There are a few that are okay. But I've found I really prefer the other flavors more! Or adding a "hint" of flavor to Tasty Vapor's Tobacco.

Did I mention the incredible difference in the way I feel physically after just four months of vaping?

Or the incredible $ savings?

What's not to love!

Orange Juice - Try JC Red Oak Valencia. It has a nice orange and spice flavor. I did't expect to like this one but I have to say it's pretty good.

I got a TW Tornado with extra everything. So far I am very happy with having a pv that will last all day. I built a couple of 5v AC plug in the wall mods for home use but that doesn't help a guy on the go. Now that I have a more reliable rig, I think it will be smooth sailing!!!

I would like to thank every member in the ECF for the vast abyss of knowledge and experience. This is a great community full of support!!!

Congratulations mykanix, stick with it and it will be worth the effort

Been analog free for 10 days now and so far it's going just fine.
I even have a pack of analogs sitting in front of me that I have not touched since vaping to test my will.
I have thought about a real smoke here and there but thats as far as it goes, just pick up the pv instead and its forgotten

I should really throw the analogs away, but I guess I am proving to myself that I dont need them when they are only a foot away

I was going to go for a Tornado, but opted for the Titan instead simply due to size.
I may well get a Tornado as well in the near future and some parts are interchangable with the titan so would make a good second unit

3 days is great work matey, I am shocked I have not had a death stick in over a week!

hmm.....i'll keep that in mind. actually i just wrote it down lol. i read somewhere that ms. t's orange juice was fairly awesome too. which is also on my "to order" list. sucks waiting for the paycheck to come in.
