I smoked every camel out there until it felt like it was eating a hole through my throat, which made me switch to Marlbore 27's. Marb 27s was my main smoke for 5 years.... I finally switched to ecigs and kicked the habit. I'm to the point now where I'll go a month without even wanting an ecig but then hit a stressful spot at work which has me grabbing the ecig again. NO urge whatsoever for cigs now. I'll Vape for about a month or so at a shot then ween offa the ecigs until the next stressful point in my life which has me grabbing the ecig again for awhile.....

Mostly Marlboro Lights for 35 years. Smoked them while living in Eastern Europe and Russia, too, although the taste was noticeably harsher there. Always heard that Marl sent its older/expired tobac there to sell for lower prices--what a thoughtful gesture. Now, of the 5 tobac carts I've tried, I'm enjoying Parlament the most. What a tasty tobacco-esque flavor that is, smooth and rich.
 
Wow, I feel like I did the right thing to switch early. I smoked Camel Turkish Royals for 3 years. Well, it went Marlboro 27's, Kool XL's, Marlboro Reds, Camel Wides, Camel Filters, Had a pack of Salem Black Label, and then finally Camel Turkish Royals, with 27's or Turkish Golds when Royals weren't available.

Now that I switched I feel quite a bit better than I did when I was smoking analogs.

I think I smoked the most expensive Cigs out there...NOW menthol 100's at this time they are selling here in Wi for $8.43 a pack!

I did have the morning cough...pretty bad when I smoked them (smoked them for 31 years), and had to use my asthma inhaler every morning.

I have been vaping almost 9 days now, and I really do not have the smokers cough anymore and have only used my asthma inhaler maybe 3 times.
My taste buds have not really changed...my sense of smell has changed a little.
And I have not as they say "hacked" up any of the gunk from my lungs from all the years of smoking.

I switched back and forth from Marlboro Meds to Camel Regs for 18 years. I would smoke 1 1/2 packs a day and and 2 packs on the weekends and for a treat I would buy a cigar once in a while.

I stopped all of that on my 1st day with V4L, my main flavors are cuban and coffee.

My taste has greatly improved but some of the things I use to like I don't like anymore. I breathe a lot better now and I can hit that 10 sec cut off now where before I was lucky to hit that 5 sec cutoff. Im kind of disappointed in the fact that I was hoping I would be coughing up loads of junk from the lungs. I really haven't noticed much in that but I feel a huge difference from start to now.

Kamel red lights here. I'm looking forward to seeing them go away for good. Since Friday, when I got my kit and entered the vaping world, I'm down to 3-4 analogs a day (much better than 20!!!!) and really wish those didn't happen. But a few times a day, I just have to have one, and vape doesn't really do it for me. It sucks because I'm already noticing a difference in the taste buds, and the analog tastes and smells awful now, I kinda have to choke through it. Anybody have any suggestions? Should I get a few high carts, would that help? I'm on 18s, and have a sampler of 24 VG (maybe I should try that?) Another thing I'll try today is when I get that craving, actually going outside in the cold and standing there to vape (perhaps in my mind, that would more closely replicate an analog and satisfy my psychological need? Does that make sense?)

It's really funny to light one up, take a drag, and realize hey, this sucks! This doesn't taste anything like dark chocolate with raspberry!

I currently smoke Camel Turkish Gold. I've smoked them for about 6 years. I ordered my ecig just yesterday and it shipped today so I'm excited and waiting for it. It'll be here Wednesday (2 days). Yes I paid for faster shipping. LOL

I hope to shop around and find an eliquid that is similar to the turkish taste as it's my favorite. I did find it somewhere online but now for the life of me I can't remember where.
