I'm not claiming to be an old timer but I've kinda fallen out of the circle too. Call it life gettin in the way or just my obsessive personality switching gears, but I do miss the community. I find myself getting comfortable. I don't buy juice like I used to. I vape the same 3 juices day in and day out. Every once in awhile I'll venture out and try something new but that's a very rare occasion. All of this isn't nessarily a bad thing. I'm still not smoking and I have more time to spend with my family. I just wish I could get a handle on tis whole moderation concept I keep hearing about. Never did quite understand the idea.

That's how it starts. Just wait till ya out grow the cigar box. It won't be long.LOL! Backups!Backups!Backups!

I just ordered from them for the 1st time the other day. My order should be in tomorrow. Can't wait. Been awhile since I ordered some new juice. Been puffin on Bobas and BWB RY4 for over a month and a half now.

I like you was hell bent on finding a tobacco flavor in the beginning. I noticed that most of them tasted like a cigar smells. Close but not exactly what I was looking for. So I started to branch out and try other flavors. Sadly I found that I have very picky tastes when it comes to a good vape. I found that I did like some fruit flavors and desert flavors but they were too sweet to do all day and found myself switching between 10 different juices all day long. I decided I'd try tobacco flavors again but this time it was different. I wasn't looking for a cigarette replacement anymore but just a juice that I liked. In the time I was trying all the other juices my taste buds had healed and I found that while I still didn't like really strong dark tobaccos that I did like a sweet tobacco. To me it was the best of both worlds. So here's my list: From alien visions (www.avejuice.com) C&D- while not a sweet tobacco It really has a great cigar quality to it. Boba's Bounty- My all time favorite. Complex tobacco that is lightly sweet. Flavor changes all day. I order the 100ml bottle. Can't be without it. Gorilla juice- Boba's Bounty with banana. Backwoods Brew (www.backwoodsbrew.net) RY4- Backwoods makes a very different RY4. More focus on a spicy tobacco than sweet caramel or vanilla. This is the bottle I grab when I get kinda tired of my Boba's. Don releases this on a very limited basis and it's out of stock in less than 15 min. Watch his site for dates and times he will put it up for sale. Buy the 30ml. bottle cause he limits 1 bottle per customer. Maple Tobacco- Closest to Don's RY4. It's a sweet maple tobacco but not syrupy sweet. Like all Don's sweet tobaccos, tobacco shines and the other flavor compliments. With all Backwoods tobaccos, let them steep. Always tastes better after a couple days. I don't recommend this next one because by the time I found it I had lost a desire for that cigarette flavor and my taste buds had healed. The most accurate cigarette taste has got to be Pink Spot Vapors (www.pinkspotvapors.com) Honey Cured Tobacco. To me it tasted like an ashtray but I'm almost positive it was because I realized once my taste buds healed that the taste of cigarettes wasn't appealing to me anymore. I tried a cigarette about 2 months into vaping and it tasted the same way. Hope all this helps and I know you will find your niche. We all do. It just takes time.

Addicted wouldn't be the word for it. More like obsessed! I just got in my 4th 100ml bottle. Lol

Oh on the sleepiness subject. Can't say I've ever had it. On the other hand I have vaped so much when I first started that I couldn't fall asleep and stayed up till 3am watching VapeTv. Lol

The heartburn and hiccuping isn't always a sign of nicotine poisoning. I get it all the time. Even 1st thing in the am. It usually happens when I get a reckless throat hit and always happens when I get juice in my mouth. I get the heartburn more frequently that most vapers because I'm on a high protein diet. Protein by nature is very acidic so it doesn't take much to push me over the edge. I just didn't want people checking into the hospital next time they get heartburn or hiccups. Lol

KaYoTiic ya know I'm on the Boba's bandwagon!!!

GG's are beautiful. But for the money I think there are better mods out there. The GG is variable voltage from what I remember but ya have to switch out batts for different volts (making it not a true VV mod). For the money I think a provari is a better choice.

Too funny. I'm a BWB junkie myself but this one just didn't do it for me either. Now their maple tobacco and RY4 are amazing.

It was harder for me in the beginning than now. I think I had the same mindset as many do switching to vaping. I thought it would be as if nothing had changed. Vaping is different. I was so pissed when I figured this out. The truth is that some days are hard. Some days it doesn't matter what flavor it is or what nic strength it is. I want a damn cigarette. When you have those days it's all about your resolve to stay off analogs. Just keep vaping and tell yourself that ya can have one tomorrow. Just know that the longer you stay off the cigs the fewer the cravings will be. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

I have noticed an increase in lung function but not as much as quitting smoking and vaping all together. Last year I was off cigs and the patch for 2 months. I was miserable and an emotional basket case. My family was secretly wanting me to start again so I would stop driving them nuts. During that time though my lungs felt great. I went from not being able to run a mile to being able to run 5 miles without stopping in just one week. Now I'm vaping and back in the gym 6 days a week. I'm getting in great shape lifting weights and eating healthy but 3 miles is about my max. on the treadmill. This may not be the case for everyone. Just wanted to give ya my take.

Good review but don't think it fits my taste. I've been on a tobacco kick for the past couple months. I'm with you KaYoTiic. I order the big bottle of Bobas too. Can't leave home without it. I refill into a couple small Bobas bottles I have from when I first ordered from them. I love the AVE bottles too. Ya don't end up with a mess like my other 30ml. bottles I have.

I had a few hiccups with the provari. I'm on my 3rd. Kept getting E8 errors with the other two. The one I have now has been going strong for about 2 months now. It is built like a tank. Solid built mod. I get about 15 hrs vaping at 4.8-5V all day. I also have the extender cap and use the 18650's. The thing I love about it is how consistent it is. Full batt or almost dead it provides the same hit every time. Overall I love this mod!

I have never used a forum app but I just bought tapa talk so I'll give ya a review in a day or 2.

I use a joye 510 2.2 ohm but the voltage varies depending on juice. Pure VG at 5V and pure PG at about 4.5 that's the beauty of a VV device.

Awesome. Can we get some pics?

I think it's the type of nic that Todd uses over at vaperite. Even at 24mg I didn't even feel a tickle. VG as a whole doesn't give as much TH as PG but Ive had 100% VG from other vendors (Alien Visions comes to mind) that have killer throat hit.

If you like Cinnacide you will probably like Geoff's blend from tasty Vapor. Even has some Atomic Cinnacide in it. As for other flavors try to stick with vendors that have sample packs. That'll keep your expenses to a minimum till ya find flavors you like. Once you find a vendor and want to find out what flavors people are talking about and buying from that vendor go to YouTube and type in the vendor and watch some reviews. Think about the type of foods you like and that will help you decide what ya may like. I personally am having a hard time figuring out my own palate. I'm starting to see flavors as colors. I'm leaning towards what I like to think of as "browns". Tobaccos, coffees, some cinnamons, and a few caramels. Kind of savory and sweet seems to be working for me. Every once in a while a fruit will please me but only for a little bit. Can't vape fruits all day. Hope this helps.

There is a transition period and you have to remember that there is a sacrifice to be made. I think that a lot of people new to vaping (myself included) think that they will start vaping instead of smoking and it will be as if they nothing changed. I was so pissed when I figured that out. Trust me when I say that you'll get over it. While you do have to accept that it isn't the same as smoking and do have to make a sacrifice. It is the easiest and smallest sacrifice you can make. You have to ask yourself only 1 question. Is your life worth this sacrifice? If your answer is "no" then you aren't ready to quit, but if it's a yes or even a maybe then you are already half way there. Make a promise to someone that you care about that you would feel guilty for not keeping a promise to. And make a rule. Mine is that if I really want to have a cigarette I first have to talk to someone who supports me in quitting and if I still want one after talking to them then I'm allowed to. I don't care who it is. Friend, spouse, or people on the forums or tinychat. I know ya can do it! You just have to believe that yourself.

Dewicking is personal preference. I do because I use juice with a high VG content and it tends to get gunked up pretty good. As far as the nausea. Try not to vape on an empty stomach and if you are feel light headed your mg strength is probably too high. You can dilute it with distiller water or alcohol but I tend to use food grade vegetable glycerin (VG) and can be bought at walmart.

LMAO!! We are going to war with Egypt!!!

I haven't started any level creation yet. I've never done it so I'm watching some YouTube vids and playing around with it a little.

I talked to my father the other day and come to find out that my uncle overdosed using an e cig. He went to the ER complaining of chest pain and severe skin irritation. The doctors said that he overdosed. On what I don't know. Sorry I don't have all the details. It was a relatively short conversation. My step mother went on to say that the FDA really needs to regulate e cigs and of course that caused a debate where she brought up that we don't know what the Chinese put in it and poisons have been found in some samples. I told her that most of the liquid we use now is all from FDA approved items like loranns food flavorings and vegetable glycerin and that the poison was found in 1 sample. I asked for her to think about it logically. Cigarettes contain over 4,000 different chemicals and electronic cigarettes contain 3 or 4. While not smoking will always be the healthiest alternative which would you rather do inhale vapor or smoke. She said that until the FDA approves it she isn't going to touch it. My father has since stopped using the eGo I sent him for xmas because he doesn't want to overdose. All of this may sound absurd but I can understand where he is coming from. My father has MS and 2 yrs ago doctors put him on pain meds in such high doses that using the medication as prescribed led to him having an overdose and being in a coma for 10 weeks. I personally don't think that my uncle actually overdosed on nicotine or any of the other ******** they fed him. He had only been using it a week and the doctors probably asked him the normal questions. Have you changed your eating habits? And other ?'s leading him to talk about the e cig. Out of ignorance the doctors not really knowing what was really wrong with him attributed it to his e cig usage. Here's my question for the community. What effect if any do you think the ignorance of so called medical professionals will have on legislation to approve a ban of e cig distribution? And here is the nail in the coffin. This incident happened in NY of all places.

The best TH I've gotten from a juice has to be Tasty Vapor's Atomic Cinnacide. AC on a LR atty at 3.7v or a regular 510 atty at 5v is a kick in the throat. A couple others are Vapor Talk's Dulcis and for the VG lover Alien Vision's C&D and Boba's Bounty.
