The first week

[just one day]

Hi guys, So eight days and no analogs. This has been my experience so far.I kinda jumped in to this with both feet so your experience may vary. I bought an inferno kit from volcano and opted for tere tabacco pure juice. Man ! that juice was so bad I almost went back to analogs. The good thing was that I found this forum and started reading all I could about juices since I was satisfied with my eGo kit and it was working fine. I ordered a sample kit form Johnson Creek and at the same time I rdered my drinking /smoking buddy a Via starter kit, cheaper than Volcano and essentially the same thing- eGo bateries with USB pass through ( PIF ) . The JC stuff is OK , much better than what came with my kit. So what has you'r experience been ?

I haven't tried a lot of juices. Seems to be a lot about personal preference. Tried one of the cartos from the first kit I bought (from a supplier that shall not be named) again yesterday - ugh. Now it tastes awful to me precisely because it is too much like tobacco. Now I have a different pv from somewhere else. At the moment I'm vaping 555 and I really like it. I do know that I really don't like something too sweet. Like cherry.

Check out Virgin Vapors. All of their flavors are top notch. What part of Florida are you in?

welcome to ecf and congrats on getting free of the analogs.I'm at 2 weeks analog free myself.Luckily I was fairly happy with the juice(rexboro) that was ordered with my t-rex/ego kit,however I just received a new order of juice from a different vendor,just filled a tank with a caramel tobacco and what a nice change,I also like a Turkish blend spiked with menthol as well.now i cant decide which flavor to try next... all i can say is that sample pack deals are awesome!!!

Vape Dudes is very good, so is blue mist. Aroma Juice is VERY good. I order WTA (whole tobacco alkaloids) juice from him (Jerry) super fast shipping and a very nice guy. I emailed him and he got back to me ASAP. If you haven't tried WTA juice, It REALLY helps with the times when you feel like you need a real cig. It's not for everyone and some people say they can't tell a difference but I can.

We all had our ups and down...me included. Glad you stuck with it!

Update: I also got a sample pack from Halo. They are not bad but mostly taste the same to me . I like the tribeca and the torque 56. I also got a bottle of Casablanca from Back Woods Brew and I'm likeing that . I got a sample pack from want2vape and some of them are really good. I'm liking the coffee blends, "campfire coffee" and expresso with cream( not quite sure thats the exact name ) But I find that this is more of a cigar and pipe tabbacco type vender. Waiting on a shipment from Heathers heavenly ( Gandolf) and some Alien Visions Bobas. Will see how it goes. So far I'm loving it ! no cigs and feeling satisfied. Actually smoked a cig and it was just plaine nasty !

I would like to ecourage all you out there that are just getting started, as far as I can tell most of the startup kits give you good gear, you just have to find the juice that is good for you.

Melbourne here. Go Space Coast !

Awesome work! I'm 6-10 days free (depending on whether you count my brief relapse), and loving it. Even though I bought a low quality starter kit (that'll teach me to buy without researching), It'll last until my Riva 510 arrives on Wednesday. Really looking forward to trying out different juices, and eventually making my own.

I am only 48 hours into my experience, my first impressions.........

My kit is the VE Vision 1000 Ultimate, for folks in the US, I believe this to be based on the eGo-C kit!
I am very pleased with its ease of use, it is easy to fill and seems to perform very well, giving off plenty of vapour, I believe they come with a 2.4 ohm tip. I also love the way that I can just tuck it into my top pocket, so convenient and accessible to use.
The battery life is very good, I vape approximately 3ml per day and have never run a battery down yet, I place the battery on charge overnight anyway as I read on this forum that it is not good to run these down completely. I am very pleased and satisfied with my first purchase.

Juices.

EDIT
The autosave did not save all my content, have to go out, I shall continue my juice review in a couple of hours.

Grats on your first 48 hrs. I was wondering what kind of cigs you smoked and what juice you have found that most simulates a cig to you.

Today will be my 34th day that I've gone without a whole cigarette. I used patches my first two weeks, until my skin started blistering and cracking. I tried to go cold turkey at one point, and the nic-fit was so strong, I took a puff of my sisters cigarette. It was so effing gross, but it didn't stop the cravings. That's when I switched to vaping.

I just recently stopped getting cravings for a real cigarette, probably around day 31. Despite how gross that one puff tasted, despite how I'm STILL trying to get the smell out of my pillows, curtains, rugs, etc., I craved SOMETHING in cigarettes. Makes me feel sick that I put that garbage in my body for almost 10 years.

Liquids: My friend got a bunch of liquids from AquaVapor. He passed off Kahlua, Cream, and Chocolate to me. Holy &$*#, disgusting. Just...absolutely awful. I ordered a bunch from The Vapor Room, but I've only gotten to try a couple flavors. I think maybe I have the notorious cartomizers with bacony flavor, because nothing tastes like how it's supposed to.

Bacon ? Now thats on I havent heard of. I LOVE bacon ! Who sells bacon flavored juice ?

When first starting out I found you just have to experiment until you find those certain juices that hit the spot for you. You could have the most expensive apv out there but if you don't find a juice you like you wont enjoy your vaping experience. Congrats on staying off those analogs, happy vaping!

Bacon ? Now thats on I havent heard of. I LOVE bacon ! Who sells bacon flavored juice ?

VapeLite.info sells a mega-cheap 5 pack of 510 cartomizers, but lately the quality has been off, giving strange flavors. My sister warned me before I ordered them, but I thought "ah, %$& it". The general consensus is it's "bacony", but I think it just tastes like...well, gosh. I don't even know. Off. It's bad enough that I only use it if I have to, but not so bad that I'm gonna throw them out.

As for bacon juice, I KNOW a couple places make it. Good luck finding one that doesn't make you hurl though.

Grats on your first 48 hrs. I was wondering what kind of cigs you smoked and what juice you have found that most simulates a cig to you.

Hello Just one day, and thanks.
The cigs that I smoked were Benson and Hedges gold, these have a smooth throat hit. I shall now continue on what my first impressions of the juices were and what simulates cigs best for me.............

Juices I have tried..........

My first was HS Delight 24mg, I tried this after looking at a review on utube saying this simulated cig smoke and had a good throat hit. My impression, too powerful, the aftertaste was like when at a party and someone has deposited a cig but in your beer can by mistake, and then you drink it, it also tightened my chest too much.
Other tobacco simulators that I have tried are the USA mix and Winson, I found these to have weaker effects like the above.
I shall be donating these on the relevant thread.

Next, I tried HS menthol, I really like this one, it is very smooth, does not tighten my chest and leaves a very nice aftertaste, I shall definitely be ordering more of this, this so far simulates the smoking experience to me.

Anyone reading this should be aware that these juices are to my taste only, do not forget that we all have different tastes and they may suit or taste different to you, do not let this put you off.

FOOTNOTE
I said above that I was going out, where I went was around my father in laws. He is a non smoker, does not and has never allowed smoking in his house. I explained to him my new habit, he agreed to me using/trying my ecig indoors. After about 40 minutes of puffing away, I asked if he could smell anything, the answer was no, this was a good test, and a very positive one!

Bacon ? Now thats on I havent heard of. I LOVE bacon ! Who sells bacon flavored juice ?

Blue mist sells maple bacon. I just got it.. It has a strong maple flavor, not so much bacon. It's still good tho. Might be better after it steeps for a week or so.

Vape Dudes is very good, so is blue mist. Aroma Juice is VERY good. I order WTA (whole tobacco alkaloids) juice from him (Jerry) super fast shipping and a very nice guy. I emailed him and he got back to me ASAP. If you haven't tried WTA juice, It REALLY helps with the times when you feel like you need a real cig. It's not for everyone and some people say they can't tell a difference but I can.

I just bought a 5 pack 10ml sampler pack from Vape Dudes all Tobacco Flavors. I used the coupon vapedudes for a 40% discount. $20.00 for 50ml of juice (1 time first order) was a good incentive to try them.
