I've been vaping for a month now. I still have that craving for a cigarette now and then, and I actually had one a couple nights ago, but that's no big deal. 99% of the last month, I've been so happy vaping that cigarettes don't even come to mind. But today, in my quest for the perfect All Day Vape, I spent nearly $100 on I don't even know how many e-liquids from I don't even know how many vendors... Hopefully they're all at least useable to me (I already have one that's going to be thrown out) because if this doesn't last me through August, I'll be in trouble with the fiance. :p

But I have to try and find that "perfect juice." As well as a couple of "go to" juices. I especially need a good tobacco juice for when that "I NEED A DAMN CIGARETTE" feeling hits. Luckily, the great ECF members educated me a bit on NET juices, so I have two or three of those included in my compulsive buying today, as well as a few things I probably never would have considered even trying if I weren't feeling so experimental.

Don't throw it out. Trade/swap it with members for another flavor.

And congrats on the one month (I'm one month myself)

You can also always up you nic on a flavor you like for those times when the nic fit hits you hard. I have several flavors in various nic levels for just those moments.

Higher nicotine is definitely a way to go for the "Must have one or else!" moments. Before you spend more hundreds on juice - I suggest you go to some of the very popular vendors and order sample packs. They may only have 3 ml or so in each bottle but at least you can test run a lot of flavors without breaking your bank. Some I would suggest are - the tobaccos from Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Want2Vape, NiteliteVapor, AVE (Bobas Bounty) Ahlusion where anything and everything Wlad and Ally mix is magnificent -tobaccos teas fruits whatever it is you think you like. One of the big dangers is going to one website and being dazzled by their pictures and descriptions, then ordering a 30 ml of this, and I'll try one of that and so on, till you've run up quite the tab. Next thing to do would be to get some of those sampler or smallest bottles in various nic strengths and various PG/VG ratios to target exactly where and what you're comfortable with. VG and more commonly PG have been known to cause coughing issues, and other sensitivity issues. The only way you'll know is to order a few at eg 70/30 PG/VG and if that doesn't work, then change from there. Have yourself a nic level for "all day" , ahigher nic level for "gotta light one up" moments and a lower one for the evening so you can sleep at night. Hope that helps a bit.

EDIT - Dang it Marius, I didn't realize it was you asking! LOL - you already know all that I just posted. Oh well - how about becoming verified so you can go to ECF's classifieds and then sell any you don't like on there? Uhhh.....there is of course one major drawback with that suggestion....the other things that are for sale ....ahem... LOL

No no no. It's not just that it tastes bad. I mean its BAD. It burns my throat and produces little to no vapor when it does.

That's pretty much exactly what I did, plus buy a couple of bottles of flavors I know I'll love. Like HHVs Black and Blue. Pretty much all the juice I bought is coming from vendors I found to be rather popular on ECF. It seemed like the best way to go. :)

Good go to tobacco only flavors: GoodEjuice: Lab Made HIGH OCTANE. House Brewed NET: Wrangler LIGHT or PATRIOT.

Nothing added, just fantastic, tobacco flavors.

Are GoodEJuice flavors "good to go" as in "You don't need to wait two weeks after getting them?" Because that's my biggest worry about tobacco flavors right now.

The lab made juices are good to go straight from the mailbox. High Octane is fantastic plain type tobacco (analog). Really great flavor.

The NETs... some are good from the get go. Patriot was great from the start and only gets better. Some of the other ones I've tried need a bit of steep time, but are worth the wait. Organic #1 was good at the start, but after 2 months -- WOW, the flavor comes shining through at a whole new level. Wrangler Light was another one that was still good at the start, but the flavors jibe weeks into a steep.

I hope that helps.

Good to hear, because I did get some Patriot. :)

The path to the perfect liquid / hardware dilemma is not limited to the New User ..

Figure what you used to spend on analogs in a month ..

I already did. :) With what I spent yesterday, I'm still $50 in the black for the month, and it will most likely (assuming none of them are unvapable) last me through NEXT month as well which will put me $200 in the black. When I explained this to my fiance, she was a lot less upset about me having spent all that money in a few hours. LOL

I know taste is subjective but if your looking for an ADV for those needing a cig moments and you need that good tobacco flavor man personally, Halos Tribecca is like a godsend. I mean theres still alot out there i need to try but Halo is one of those never fails type vendors that i can always count on to be good just my opinion

I'll put that on my list of things to try. Thanks. :)

[EDIT] Although I'm pretty sure I already ordered some "Freedom Juice" in a sampler.

ROFL!

Oh...and yes, dump the apple pie. It shouldn't be burning your throat (unless its 100% PG and you're sensitive to it, which is easily fixed by adding VG to it, or going with 100% VG).

No, its 50/50. It's just bad juice. I've been warned by many members that "sometimes you just get bad juice and nothing will fix it." So don't get apple pie from Silverstar Vapors. But, by all means, get other stuff from him.
