Hello
Im new to Smokless Image. Let me introduce myself. I'm 42 years old and new to the fourm. Live in virginia and used to smoke Camel Blues. Now to the story!!!!
Thanks to many of the postings in here. I gave up cigarettes about two weeks ago. I picked up a mistics at a local Walmart
and started enjoying them, But not much vapor. After looking at this forum many suggested Volt or Ego. So I bought the volt standard kit. All I have to say is wow this is great!!! Many of the forum members say to start with the sampler first until you find a flavor you like.
Great information, Because i almost went with the cowboys. The cowboy flavor is ok But right now the 555 i like (still havent tried all of them yet).
I used to be a two pack a day smoker for about 25 years. For right now I will stick with the 78mm batterys because i dont vape often, its one puff here and one puff there. Yesterday I tried a regular cigarette and it tasted like I just licked an ashtray. I Dont see me going back to them any time soon.
As for the user name, I have tried like about 50 times for a user name all unsucessful. (new to any forums) So when I typed in Chief Pack a bowl, I Laughed and said this wont work. BINGO user name sucessful.

So thanks to all on this fourm who guided me to the Volts.

Welcome to the world of Volt and vaping, Chief! From the "handle" when I saw it I figured you were a pipe smoker LOL. I was a pack a day Marlboro man for about 50 years and Volt got me off of tobacco completely, not even one or even a drag since July. Enjoy vaping and ECF, there's a ton if good information and a lot of helpful, nice folks out here to help you along with anything that you might want to ask about.

hi again :)

35+ year smoker.. menthols in varying brands and strengths

I found the tobacco flavors have not made me happy.. not even the menthol ones
I'm also not thrilled with fruity flavors either
Creamy.. savory and odd flavors are my thing right now

you'll find various reviews on flavors like cucumber .. bacon... worchestchire (I haven't gotten the last one yet) but those I like
still amazes me that they can get a salty vapor

Everyone is different. I loved vanilla when I first started but now I'm a died in the wool tobacco fan. RY4 is great and I have my own mix, DIY, of a tobacco, caramel cappucino and chocolate that is really my favorite. The big problem with DIY is always trying, and finding, another flavor combination that's great! My desk looks like a chemistry lab though.

What ever works for you is the only right solution. I will say that fruity and sweet flavors tend to gunk up cartomizers, clearomizers, CE3s, Nanos or other delivery systems much faster than "dryer" flavors do, so there is an advantage to enjoying tobacco flavors, I'm cheap!

I put on some Italian Roast coffee. I know, it is a bit strong but I say "Live boldly!".

First of all, let me say, nice to see Raven posting and I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner. Good to see you are happily cooking.

Hi Chief,

Nice to meet you. Glad to see you here in Voltville. Yes, the Smokeless Image Volt and X-2's are hard to beat!!! Samplers is definitely the way to go. Now that you have one you like, you can buy on the Black Friday sale of 26% off. Wow, that is a sale. You don't want to run out of juice!!!! A back up battery would be nice, too.

DIY isn't for everyone and SI definitely has some fine tasting juices. I've tried some others and always come back to SI for delicious 555, great Ry4, the Country and Freedom are excellent. The price is good, too!!! I think I'll try the gourmet line of juices while they are sale. Anyway, nice meeting you!!!!

There's a salty vapor? Didn't know you can get a salty one! What is it? Can you tell I love salty snacks...

Thanks JoAnnW, I had a hard time With the user name and avatar.

Just finished up Country, freedom, and 555.
Country is ok, the Freedom is not my cup of tea. 555 seems to be better than the country. No vapeing Desert Joe and RY4. So as for my taste. In First Place................................................................................................ (wait for it).............................:evil:


555 :lol:
In Second Place......Desert Joe
In Third place.........Ry4
Fourth place...........Country
Dead Last .............Freedom

Desert Joe and Ry4 Tastes equally good to me, So it was a very close race with Freedom fifty laps back.

So I will order 555, Desert Joe,Ry4
Alright I'm having too much fun on this forum:pervy:
