Whole New Addiction!

[HoneyGram57]

I was a smoker for 40 years! Answer the phone, light up. Watch TV, light up. Drinking coffee, light up. You get the picture. Then my son presents me with an e-Go Cig & some RY4 juice. Hey, this isn't bad. Now two months later I still have the e-Go, plus an adjustable voltage battery to go with and haven't lit up once. Feels great to have that monkey off my back!
I've tried several flavors of juice but haven't really found anything that really grabs me so on I go to making my own juice. I've come to the conclusion it isn't possible to make a juice that taste like my smokes did. I've found so many recipes to try and although I've heard it's a hard flavor to work with I'm going to try to make a tincture with my favorite Hazelnut Coffee and PG.
It's a good thing I'm retired as this has turned into a hobby which I can't learn enough about fast enough to suit me! Granny's got a new addiction!

It's nothing like tobacco, but if you like peppermint at all look up the recipe for Halo's Kringle's Curse.

Great stuff that is.

Congratulations on quitting, HoneyGram!

I've never found a juice that tastes like tobacco and quickly found that I'm totally fine with that since I wanted to move away from the whole tobacco thing anyways. I've been a fan of the sweeter stuff like vanilla, chocolate, chocolate almond caramel...you get the picture And yes, since switching to ecigs, I must admit that I have a new addiction as well but this one is sooooo much better than the last one!

HoneyGram,

Welcome to ECF! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

As did many, I started with tobacco flavors, but quickly discovered I liked other flavors better (fruits and bakery for me, mostly).

So experiment away, I hope you find what you really like!

congrats on kicking the habit!
as you know, nothing taste quite like burning tobacco.
after you extract the flavoring from the coffee test it for water solubility. if its not soluble in water, inhaling it is not recommended.
also whatever flavoring they add to the coffee beans might not be safe for inhalation.
just because its safe for the human digestive track does not mean its safe for the lungs.

Actually plain PG/VG with nic comes pretty close to a light smoke.

Congratulations! I'm right there with you. 20 years puffing away - and too many failed attempts to quit. Then found this new habit! Over a month now since lighting up & don't have any cravings to go back.

Welcome HoneyGram57 to ECF. Congrats on quitting cigarettes.....you remind me of myself.....was constantly lighting up a cig but I always had to go outside to do it......was great not having to put on a winter coat, hats and boots this last winter to go smoke a cigarette. I now vape in the house and am luvin' it.

Happy Vapping!!!!

Remember, no one lights up a cigarette for the first time and says "Oh, man. That's delicious". You don't smoke cigarettes because they taste good.

congrats on kicking the habit and welcome to the world of vaping

 

[DaveOno]

Two months!! Ain't it great to know you never have to smoke again?

Welcome.

You might try Halo's Torque56. Allowing for taste buds coming back on line, I still turn to it for that No frills flavor.

(And Halo is having 20% off, btw)

I've read enough already to know to stay away from oils so my only real concern with my Hazelnut coffee is I don't know what they used to flavor it with so thanks for the tip.

I taste tested a French Vanilla juice recently and must say I've liked that one better than anything else I've tried so far, but with my sweet tooth that kinda makes sense.

I'm also loving how much cleaner it is to vape, no more butts or ashes, and carpet burns. The only thing that grips me is people are still ignorant about vaping, I get told at least once a day it's as dangerous as smoking.

Glad to hear you're off the analogs! It is wonderful hearing about people being on the butts so long and being able to kick the habit with ease! If you're looking for some hazelnuts flavors I definitely would suggest Lazarus Vintage No1 as it does provide a wonderful Hazelnut notes throughout the vape even though it doesn't have hazelnut in it.

 

[HoneyGram57]

I'll give Lazarus Vintage a try, thanks for the tip.

I've come to the conclusion it isn't possible to make a juice that taste like my smokes did.

As have I. But looking back, I don't think I want to anymore.

The thing is, unlike vaping most of us smoked one brand and that was it. I didn't like the popular Marlboro's or Camel's simply because they weren't my brand. Nothing wrong with 'em... just wasn't used to them.

But I've noticed the same isn't with e-juice. In fact it's the opposite for me. Can't get used to a single tobacco flavor. I started out with a juice I bought early on and swore it would be my all day vape. And it was for about a month. Can't stand the smell of it now.

Good luck with your tobacco quest Granny!
