Is it just me that is not particularly impressed by visible vapour? I'm far more interested in taste, effect, good throat hit and nicotine kick. I would prefer much less visible "smoke". I prefer not to draw attention to myself. The Bling was good in that respect, huge hit, vapour disappeared in inhaled, unfortunately I could not live with the taste:(
What I really want is an invisible B&H !

Ludo wrote once on this forum of discreet vapor for public uses -- and was blasted unmercifully by those demanding huge clouds of vapor. They practically called him stupid.

To each his own. But I will say this: When I demo an e-cig and a tiny puff of vapor comes out, it doesn't make much of an impression with onlookers. So I try for the famous Leaford Six-Second Suck. Course, no one smokes a cigarette that way, so that's a turnoff too. Can't win 'em all.

True. I've pretty much stopped experimenting, and now use Janty liquid only, but I used to mess with the mix of VG and/or Kahlua liquor. The alcohol tastes great but makes essentially no vapor; the VG makes lots of vapor but has its own sweet taste. I'd always start with commercial e-liquid, then cut it with VG or Bickford flavor or Kahlua.

Too much trouble ...

I agree a juice with no visible vapour would be an excellent idea especially for public situations and it would be good to have the choice. If you put the bling cart juice in another type of e-cig does it still produce no vapour or is it the way the bling works?

Problem with the Bling juice is that it pretends to be a cigar. Now I really don't like cigars unless they are really good cigars, a Montecristo, Bolivar, even a Romeo y Julieta and trust me on this, the bling is nothing like a good cigar:):)

No Cohibas? :) If you have a humidor full of nice cigars and put a few ordinary ones in there for six months or so, they come out tasting a lot better. I don't really know why, but lots of people do this. It doesn't work for really bad ones (they cut costs by not waiting until fermentation is complete - you can't get rid of the ammonia taste after fermentation.)

The opposite holds true as well, if you put a few good ones in with a heap of ordinary ones.

I haven't tried the bling, but half the point of having a cigar is the cutting, the lighting of it, the examination of the ash, its colour and imperfections, tasting the soil it was grown in (nowhere else has replicated the Cuban pepperiness!) etc. Noone will ever say "I don't what it is, but you can really taste the Shenzhen Zhonghongwei manufacturing plant in this e-cigar."

Well, I used to like an Upmann - a good cigar is a great pleasure that I wouldn't wish to deny anyone (as is a pipe of good flake tobacco). However, I've passed up on these pleasures now in favour of vaping. But those of you with industrial strength constitutions and lungs with an immortality guarantee - well, I pass the baton to you.

I think Kingsley Amis said something approximating to:

"There is no pleasure worth sacrificing in order to spend two extra years in a retirement home at Weston-Super_Mare."

I am inclined to agree with him :)

I have often wished for invisible vapor, so as not to attract attention. On the other hand, when I am home in the evening, having good vapor is part of the pleasure (so I can play with it, like making smoke -er, vapor- rings, etc).
It would be nice if there were liquids that produced vapor and those that didn't. That way, one could have the "discrete" version, too....

Ideal solution RY4 and Stealth RY4 :) I used to love blowing smoke rings until I dislocated my jaw doing it once. I can't remember seeing doctors and nurses laughing so much when I told them what happened.:(
