Hiya!
Sorry for being so dramatic in the title, but could'nt find a better way to put it.
So i'd like to start with how i started vaping, back in 2012 when i visited germany and they had a disposable cigg-alike. I had never even heard of ecigg back then, i was intrigued by this device.
Looked just like a cigarette, but didn't rly taste much. But it made me interested and went looking online.
Around 2013 i bought my first ego twist / vision spinner with a pro tank. Coupled with a bottle of ry4 24mg bottle.
I remember being so hyped when i got it, this is finally it time to quit smoking.
I was not prepared though how well it would hit, first inhale and it was like a brickwall hit me. Never the less i learned to love the flavour, even tho it wasn't cigarette taste.
Quickly went down to 18mg then 12mg.
Around 5 months later i started being interested in mods, well the few we had. And RTAs.
Ended up with nemesis + kayfun lite. And that stuck with me for a long time.
Keept using that to around 2018. so about 6-5 years. Started some DIY aswell. Then EU laws came about it was just to expensive to continue.
Decided to use snus instead since it's so much cheaper (3$a can of 20 snus vs 10$ 10ml/12mg, for comparision)
So i quit vaping altogether.
So now on to the topic at hand:
So recently i was at the bar and had severe cravings, decided i'll buy a disposable to get me by.
And that reminded me how much i used to love vaping.
I see the landscape is entirely diffrent now. So i spent couple days researching. Decided i'll keep it simple this time and just use pods, as seems to be the king these days.
Didn't take many days until i dusted of my nemesis and kayfun combos.
But to my surprise,, they realy don't taste much better than what the zero 2 and joytech ego kit i went with when i wanted a simple kit.
Still love the kayfun combo tho in terms of looks. But man have tanks evolved, but also devolved (if that's a word?)
I feel there's no tanks out there anymore,, it's all pods now. Which i kinda understands why i guess. But rba/rta market for example, is super dead in sweden. The few sites here only carry 1 brand and only 1 of said brand. While disposables or pods in loads.. kinda sad to see.
And then now the final kicker, another reason i decided to go back vaping is, to quit snus.
Yes you heard me correct.
Eu has now decided to impose on us swedes an impressive 8$ dollar tax on snus, which makes no sense.
Until i learned that swedish match has recently been bought out by philip morris.
This is so sad. And also angers me so much. There's a reason swedes rarely smoke, due our snus. Now they will tax it even worse than e ciggs are, - which is also why i quit vaping to begin with.
To get a 10ml juice here with nic is 10$. You can buy 100ml "shortfill" which you then add 1-2 nic shots to for 3-6mg nico.
So we're basically forced to subohm here.
That all rant said, i now try to use the low 6mg to get me of the snus, just incase. planning to go 0 nic.
But yea EU is now taking away our snus pretty much.
Reason we're angry is due cost has been 3 euro then tax then 4 + tax then 5 eu + tax. Now they want it to cost 12 eu + tax.
Im so annoyed.
So in one way im happy to be back, but also annoyed.
I also i guess forgot my point of this rant. The new devices as small as they are, holy crap do they deliver taste even over the kayfun i was used to.
So that also leads me back to the ry4 part.
I recently ordered graham cracker vanilla custard. It tastes just like the ry4 did back then. So i got quite abit nostalgic.
And since i've been smoke free for many years now. Holy crap does it smell and nearly taste like the Nets i used to use.
Edit: I couln't get the images to show in starter post, so i posted them in each post. Hopefully that's okay.
But ye i was unsure where to post this as ive many rambling but in one post.
