Thanks!..(from a Newbie in Chicagoland)

[RonJS]

I very much appreciate the newer members for asking many of the same questions I've had (or should have had) and the more seasoned folks around here for their knowledgeable answers and opinions.

With the past ten years of my 40 year smoking "career" spent lung hitting cigars, I have been tobacco free for 5 weeks. While I'm not so sure I'm getting less nicotine in my system by vapeing, the flavors I have been using certainly taste better than my past cheap cigars.

Living 25 miles SW of downtown Chicago I know of no local quality vape shops in this area. Accordingly, all of my equipment & juice purchases have been either online or from Ebay. Certainly this Forum has been a great help.

This Forum not only helps emptying my wallet, but also saves me some bucks while experiencing a more pleasurable vape too! Heck, I never thought I would ever start rebuilding Kanger and other micro coils...

My Sincere Thanks!

Ron

Illinois E-Cigarette Vendors

Hi, and welcome to ECF!

Have you looked into Goodejuice in Minooka or QuickNic in Sandwich? I'm far SE, near the Indiana border and those are farther West of me. Believe me, I wish they were closer, but they both ship quickly

 

[RonJS]

Thanks for your suggestion!

Minooka is about 38 miles away from me & Sandwich around 50. With 90% + of my traveling done by motorcycle, I was hoping for a bit warmer temperatures before venturing too far from my local area. At least the snow has melted!

I will be checking out that list of IL vendors you were so kind to provide.

Yes, it's been a hard, long, tough, long winter -- and the Spring hasn't sprung yet, either.

Sorry, it looks like you're as far away from those as I am. Perhaps the vendors list will help locate someone closer for you. But those 2 local vendors do offer some great liquids, especially if you like tobacco flavors.

Let's hope for some warmer days ahead

Those were two very fine local suggestions and I'm always looking for an excuse to take a ride!

My first Fastech order contained 2 juices that were listed as tobacco flavored and did not taste at all like tobacco to me. Their Liqua "Cuban Cigar Tobacco" juice tasted mostly of hazelnut. Thankfully, I like hazelnut!

Weeks ago I read a post here that suggested not using tobacco flavor juices to quit analogs. That made sense to me. I have mostly been vapeing different fruits. A couple of weeks ago I started mixing my own juices. I guess I'm not sure what I like...

I do look forward to finding out though!

Yes...it IS Wonderful!

While this Forum does have a fine "search" function, my computer skills are somewhat lacking at times. This causes me to sometimes read hundreds of pages in a thread to find out what I wanted to know. Reading all those pages many times brings up more questions and more open tabs on my browser. My thirst for knowledge following several threads sometimes leads to Insomnia.

It might be just me, but it seems the later I stay up to read this Forum the faster shopping carts fill up all over the internet!

It's probably just me....
