what did you smoke before you started vaping?

[VegasVaporz]

I was smoking a pack of Black and Milds for three years. I inhaled them straight and I have been vaping for over two years. As soon as I got my 510 kit, never looked back.

Funny. I tried a lot of analogs but never thought any came close to Marlboro's. Over time I evolved Red to Gold to Silver, but never much liked any thing else.

Now that I vape, I switch flavors a lot. Love anything from BackWoodsBrew, but nothing so far tastes like a Marlboro. Most of the tobacco flavors taste more like pipe tobacco anyway. Doesn't matter, I don't miss it.

This thread has really given me a jones. Pardon me while I go vape a VS 555.

 

[Aphelion]

America Spirit Yellows and Grays. Never had the urge to analogous (see what I did there!) liquid. Part of the attraction to vaping for me is to "taste the rainbow"...

I smoked newports, about a pack a day. I never wanted to find an eliquid flavor that would match the Newport. When I first started I wanted something that was totally opposite so I could get away from newports.

 

[aerodlt]

Basic Menthols. They still cost me 75 bucks a carton. Tried tobacco flavors a couple weeks until I realized that is what I was really trying to get away from.

 

[n8v8p]

Marlboro Menthol Lights,i bought 1 bottle of menthol juice,and the suprising thing was i didnt care for it anymore,but I like alot of other flavors.

 

[dDubs]

Reds. Marb reds. You will never find a juice that tastes like a cig- juice can't replicate the taste of combustion, chemicals, etc. I was on a quest for a marb red juice, eventually realized this, and moved on to finding juice that tastes good, instead of tasting like cigs.

I've been a pipe smoker for 20 years. That's a hobby I am not giving up. The last time I smoked a analog cigarette was almost ten years ago. To quit those, I started dipping. Several years ago I switched from dipping to Swedish snus. Then they changed the taxes and Swedish snus became pretty expensive so I reluctantly resorted to the American stuff. That's crap, stains my teeth, and is way too sweet. That's what I am replacing with vaping.

I used to smoke marlboro reds mostly. Sometimes the occaisional ben bey cigar. I'd chew southern pride about three days out of the year, and claim a free carton of blue american spirits as often as i could. I was pretty loyal to those brands though. Not so much chewing, leaf is leaf, but i wouldn't smoke anything else. I never bought any marlboro juice just because of the word on the street. Everyone says its a let down so i listen. Im looking forward to some gandalf though.

I smoked Newport Medium's. Since I started vaping almost 3 years ago, I've found I like non-tobacco flavors. I love Halo's Malibu and Tasty Vapor makes some really good sweet juices.

 

[nebulas]

Smoke 1.5 packs a day of Camel lights. I tried to find something similar in taste but failed. After about 3 months I quit caring and started just enjoying the better flavors of vapor available to me.

 

[Mark Burton]

American Spirit Blacks, between a pack and a pack and half a day, depending upon my stress level. I have only been vaping for about a month but I haven't found (or after the first two days even looked) for anything similar. I have pretty much fallen in love with High Brow e-liquids, in particular their French Pipe, which has become my daily vape.

 

[kalison]

Camel Wides
Marlboro Milds
Marlboro Blue 72's
American Spirit Blue

 

[amienichole]

I made my own...and before that was light 100's

 

[otrpu]

Pyramid Blue, or whichever was cheapest. Lots of time I'd fish through the loose pack box of broken cartons, got the loose packs of ready mades for $1.00 each. No, haven't found anything close to the tobacco cigarette taste. Don't much make any difference now, for 11 months I've been 0Nic, 0Flavor Added. JMHO

Cheers,
otrpu

I too smoked Pall Mall Red 100's. I still am at this point, but only about 5 a day. I have smoked Pall Mall about 20/day and American Spirit Organic 5/day. I found Smoking Vapor. The Red Tobacco flavor has a very very good taste and I think it is better than Pall Mall!

 

[Edstasic]

My best smoke sessions were with Lucky Strikes reds, either a six-pack of dark beer, a couple almond liquor shots or a bottle of Jägermeister and a cold night, never in my life will i expect to duplicate the Lucky Strike reds flavor in a e juice, nor do i want to, i hold that brand dear to my heart as something special in my life but ultimately very very harmful, thus im left with very fond memories and a constantly growing pride that i havent touched an analog cig in 3 years (more or less) nor will ever in my life thanks to e cigs.

 

[The Ocelot]

Marlboro menthol 100s or King Mountain menthol 100s (when I could get to the smoke shop). They taste about the same. Almost a month tobacco free! Three drags on a e-cig and I quit!

 

[MikenGA]

5 years Marlboro Red 100's
5 years Winston Red 100's
20 years Winston Light 100's
2.5 years Bronson Light 100's
11+ months Vaperite, Alien Visions, Backwoods Brew, Madvapes, Vapelicious, Aroma...and the list goes on...

My nic is down from 24mg to 6mg, and that's about as low as I'll go. Tried 0mg, but without a wee bit of nic in the mix, depression kicks back in. (I'd rather vape than take tranquilizers! )

I smoked American Spirit Blues for about 3 years. Prior I smoked Tops Tobacco, Camel Turkish Golds, and a brief stint with Newports. As for as finding an E-liquid that tasted like my Blues, I didn't. SI's 555 was enough of a tobacco flavour for me to start weening myself off of Analogs and their RY4 insured that I would never go back.
