Two years off the wagon...

[beckyblue]

Hello, again, ECF! As you can see if you look at my join date, I have strayed. By now, I've tried everything I can afford (pretty much EVERYTHING out there, except a provari), but I'm still constantly dreaming about my hand-rolled cigarettes. I now have a VAMO that I like better than my ego twists and am looking for the very most satisfying non-atty (too busy for that) to put on it. I'm just looking for whatever will come closest to approximate the analogs that I've been smoking since I was 13. I know that this was a great forum, and I'm betting it still is. Please help! Thanks, in advance!

Hi becky! I also started smoking when I was 13 - I look at 13 year old kids now and just can't imagine it. What is it about tobacco cigarettes that you miss the most?

There is something about authentic tobbacco leaf which is very hard to let go.

A bunch of chemicals in liquid form doesn't have the same feeling for some reason.

 

[beckyblue]

Yup, same great forum! Thanks for the fast replies! Ocelot, I hate to admit it, but I love every last little thing about my hand-rolled smokes. I could write a sonnet. I feel so lame for not being over the moon with this or that set-up, the way so many on ECF are! These clearos work so much better in theory than in practice. What's taken you to Wonderland, Ocelot?

Becky have trued a njoy King? They are suppose to be very close to the real thing.

They are expensive but just buy 1 and then dream for the day they make a reachable version

Hi Becky, as far as convenience goes its hard to beat a good carto tank. You can find some good ones at a decent price here IBTanked.com. Genuine Vision Vivi Novas are also very convenient though you might find they mute the flavors of some juices. Id look at both of those and see which would work better for you.

Shes using VAMO why on earth would she go down from that to an Njoy king?

 

[wickitiwack]

Yuck. It has only been 15 months for me. I smoked for 27 years. Two packs a day for the last ten. I cannot even stand the smell of cigarettes. The smells makes me nauseous and I cant breathe around it.I cannot even imagine going back to that nasty stuff. I am addicted to Vaping though. My mod never leaves my necklace

Maybe the form factor is why she fell off the wagon? Possible no?

 

[beckyblue]

Thanks, zapped! I know, Njoy?!? I have an IBTanked (I really wasn't kidding about everything except provari!!). That actually is only a week old. Wickitiwack, I'm completely jealous of you. I'm not smoking, and am resolved not to fall back off the wagon, but I'll actually follow behind smokers on the sidewalk for second-hand memories. The smell makes ME drool. The smell of these sweet e-liquids makes me think about kindergarteners' birthday parties. Zapped, what did it for you?

Hi friends, I'm not that old to eCigarettes like some of you have been vaping for years. But I'm vaping since last one month and even at the thought of going back to analog makes me throw up. Seriously, that ugly smell and breath, I can't even think of going back to it.

Just for the experiment sake, when I started vaping, I used to try the analog in between. Needless to say, I was kinda heartbroken because I couldn't enjoy the analog anymore. Can't say I was disappointed or happy but in the beginning, I missed the ugly taste of analogs .. can't believe I said that. I guess, u just get used to smoking the analog and that ugly bitter taste it leaves in the mouth.

But now I'm so used to the real good sweet taste of ejuices that I can't tough an analog even if a full pack is in front of me lol. I'm sooo happy that I quit the analog crap and i just can't put it in words how much I love the ejuices ..

Youre very welcome!
A combination of regulated voltage like you have with the Vamo and finding my all day vape. It was like the heavens parted and rays of sunshine came down. I remember thinking to myself "Oh my god this is good I could vape this all the time, who needs a cigarette?"

What kind of flavors do you like maybe someone here can give you some recommendations.

 

[beckyblue]

I'm waiting for those there clouds to part, zapped! I only like tobacco flavors. Good Prophets once made a 555 I enjoyed, but I ordered that, and it changed. I just want something complex and not sweet. Sorry to bug you, zapped, but (apart from juice), what's your "sunshine" set-up??

Honestly, I think the novelty caught my attention. I had no intention to stop smoking. I really enjoyed smoking, but I also never thought too much about it. For the last, maybe 20 years, I smoked 1.5 PAD of Marlboro menthols, but I can't tell you what they tasted like. They were just my smokes. I got an e-cig to play with on a whim, and it fascinated me. The vapor plume was so pretty(!) and even though I could barely taste any flavors for a couple of months (many I still can't), what I could taste was much more interesting than what I had been smoking. I think I was bored with tobacco. I am a nicotine addict. I probably always will be. My mother smoked when she was pregnant and I have a feeling I was born addicted. For me, while vaping addresses my addiction, it also keeps me entertained.

Im using a polished chrome Provari with a Phiniac or IBTanked tank on top and 2.0 ohm Smoktech pre-punched cartos.

Youre not bothering me at all, Im glad to help. Heather Heavenly vapes has some OUTSTANDING complex tobacco flavors that I would highly recommend. Legend and Dark Horse are really good.

I have a LOT of PV's but begged and begged for someone to send me some Njoy's from the US. Got them yesterday. Awesome. So just because one person doesn't like something, doesn't mean that everyone feels the same.

Go back and reread the OPS original post. She wasnt talking about switching her PV. She was looking for non atty accessories for her Vamo. I understand what youre saying but to most people, who only have a PV or two that would be a big step down from a Vamo.

It sounds horrible, but read the reviews for this one: Ashtray

I only like tobacco flavors.

Welcome back, becky.

Can't advise you on hardware to go with your vamo, but I think you might enjoy this topic, lots of knowledgeable "tobacco" people here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/274904-natural-tobaccos.html

I'm pretty sure you can find some nice vapes chatting and reading there.

I loved your comment "I could write a sonnet".

Dragonbone! I remember you from way back, when I was a LONG-time creepy, anti-social lurker! Different strokes for different folks, but zapped was totally right about this particular OP! I'll try Heather's etc., that's a new-kid, for me. I could've gotten, like, 3 provaris for all my penny-pinching mods. I did a long stretch with a Missy's WetBox. Do you think that a provari or a reo grand would finally stop me from following smoking strangers?
