Lots of flavors and lots of inexpensive tanks. I'm too busy switching tanks to even think about smoking a cigarette.
Labeling the tanks is going to be a big concern though at some point. Nice problem to have.

a pack of coloured tanks can help with that:

Thank you :) I'm going to have to find a way to deal with the naysayers. I haven't figured that out yet. If I hear one more person say "You've gone this far, why don't you just quit?" I'm going to scream. I know they mean well, but it's just such an ignorant thing to say, especially when they have no idea what they're talking about.

It was Martin Luther King, Jr. who said "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."


Oh yeah, I want nothing to do with tobacco flavours, lol. So far I've tried a couple Halo flavours I thought I'd like but it turned out I don't really; Shamrock and Cafe Mocha. I have one called 'Ice Punch' that seems to be my fav. I have an order sitting in my mailbox waiting for me to get off work, in there is:

Spectrum Grape Lollipop - Medium
Vaporchase Cinnamon Chai - Medium
Vaporchase Morning Dew - Medium
Stinky Canuck Iceberry Tots - Medium
Vaporchase Mochanilla Latte - Medium
Spectrum Raspberry Ruckus - Medium
Spectrum Sweet Watermelon - Medium

Can't wait to get home and try them!

Yup, the naysayers can drive you nuts. My poor husband and family would like for me to stop vaping too. I gave them a choice - right now I can smoke or vape, take your pick. I had to push that it is SAFE-R than smoking and that was grudgingly accepted. My husband got the hint that I may not be stopping soon based on the number of mods I now have and the regular stream of vape mail coming to the house! The family is happy that I've reduced my nic level over the year at least. I haven't warned them that even if I get to 0 nic I may keep vaping because the flavors are so good. :D

Thumbs up on your vape mail! I haven't touched a tobacco flavor either since I started vaping. It's so much fun finding the juices that you like (ok, when you get a really bad one it's not so good). Another aggravation - those silly politicians who say flavors are for kids. :facepalm: MLK was right. Happy vaping! :vapor::vapor:

I use the Rainbow Looms bands (My mom bought me a Rainbow Loom as my joke Christmas gift. I'm a lefty couldn't catch on, I use the bands because they are small and non-latex for my puppies top-knots and I now use them to color code on the my clear tanks (I have more than one clear). I try use use a band color that matches the flavor. Purple =Grape, Pink= Watermelon. The bands are super cheap I have you can get 100's for a few bucks.

Your story is a lot like mine. I've been smoking for 40 years, and the last couple of years it was just getting worse!! I was at 2 packs a day. I started vaping when another friend of mine got into it. He had to stop smoking on doctor's orders, so he started vaping. I knew I needed to do something because I was wheezing when I laid down, hacking all the time, and don't get me started on the nasty upper respiratory infections I would come down with at least once a year.

I started vaping to see if I could at least cut down on the cigarettes. Man, have I EVER been amazed by what is going on with me now! I tried laying down the cigarettes before and I thought sure I would have to be put in a rubber room for at least a week.

The first week I was vaping, I didn't even smoke a whole pack of cigarettes. I was astounded at myself. I couldn't believe it. Every now and then I will smoke one, and it tastes so nasty I seldom smoke the whole thing. I just realized today that I haven't touched a cigarette in three days!! For me, that is nothing short of a miracle.

I fell SO much better. I can breathe; I can smell; I can taste. AND, I'm saving money, not to mention a whole host of other benefits. Right now I'm at 18, but I feel like I'll get it down now. I wish I had started vaping years ago, BUT, I'm here now, and I'm NOT going back!! Congratulations to YOU and to ME!!

Put a corresponding color band on the bottle itself ;)
