Wow! Wonderful to see all the new posts in here since i last peeked in!
Vape meets - started a group when i lived in KY through the e-cig forum. There were only three of us the first few times. Now they have over 30 regular participants meeting once a month to swap info, juice, and support. Jenn and i have also been to one of the national vape meets in FL. Over 200 vapers with dozens of vendors participating in a weekend event. Was a blast! Sweetness - some venders sweeten their flavors, some don't. Some give the option and let you decide how many "spoonfuls". You can purchase plain sweetener to add your own to taste as well. There are also options at some venders to add a "cold" using koolada or more throat hit.

Might want to get a small bottle of each flavor and mix a bit in an empty bottle first. That will let you know if the flavors play well together. If you pay attention to how much of each you add to reach the flavor you like, you would be able to give them a good idea of how to mix it. (1/3 this one...) Found out the hard way that not everything mixes well.

WEEE!
I ordered from Heather's Heavenly Vapes and wanted to give a review on a couple of flavors: Blueberry Muffin (0 nic - 70/30 blend)- Holy Shit. If your granny made a huge batch of moist, delicious blueberry muffins and you were able to huff the vapor out of the oven while they were almost done - This would be it. This flavor is a tiny bit buttery, a lot of blueberry, and very dense. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Cinful Pear - (0 nic - 70/30) - Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh great pear preserves in the sky! This is probably my new favorite (for a few days at least!). I don't know how they captured a juicy golden ripe pear in this flavor but they did...and it's freaking AWESOME. Also, there is a heavy cinnamon note so it's like a luscious cup of the best pear preserves. The cinnamon gives it a GREAT throat hit and the exhale is like a long ride in a pear orchard. NICE.

EEK!
I forgot! I also ordered "Butter Rum" from Heather's Heavenly! Butter Rum - (0nic - 70/30) - This one needs to steep a little more. Has a mildly soapy flavor that I don't lurve at all. I read on one of the e-cig forums that other's had this complaint as well but I've noticed it gets better the more I leave it alone. The flavor does, indeed, have a lot of buttery and rummy goodness but the soapy flavor gives it a really acrid, almost metallic taste. I'll report back on this one in a week or two and let you all know!

I hate it when liquids have a soapy, or perfumy taste. Sometimes letting it steep helps, but there are some that no amount of time will help.
I got Deejstuff caramel corn in my tank now. Yummy.

I just started getting juice, my first (and currently only as the others are on the way) is an RY4 - a tobacco based with caramel. I tried it out and it was mehh... but 5 days later, WOW this shit is great!
I use a pen style (no ego) and have a question for you eGO folks using clearomizers/cartomizers. How do you deal with changing flavors? Do you rinse out the clearomizer? Do you let the 'old' flavor evaporate before adding new? I'm thinking of getting an ego with 2 or 3 clearomizers once my pen style batteries give up. Loren

Cartos can be cleaned, but it is a hassle. At about a dollar each, I use one for about a week, then toss it.

Sitting here with my ecig order.... I was wondering when to quit cigarettes. Seems like a blizzard is a good time.
So I have a joyetech 510. Seemed like a reasonable start. I am going with nicotine free blends/flavors. And low or no PG since I have some allergies. Ordered 5 blends from ecblends.com. They sent a free one. It was very sweet that they sent a free one that was all VG. I can see how steeping is going to be important. But not sure exactly how important yet. My starting flavors are: black raspberry blackberry peppermint (I am hoping I'll get some throat hit that reminds me of smoking from that one) whiskey cinnamon bun chocolate cheesecake. we shall see.. |

Hmmm.
So I loaded up my "Cherrybomb" from Heather's Heavenly Vapes this morning. It's been steeping for a week and smells great but I am not so impressed with the flavor so far. The flavor is good...if you like the taste of liquid honey. To me, it is most assuredly NOT cherry. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but I wanted a really fruity cherry flavor and this is more like a really mild honeyed apple. Or something. I'll throw it back in the box to steep a while longer!

All VG will be milder, regardless of how long you steep it, so if you can get 'extra' flavor or flavor shots, I'd go that route. My current 'go-to' liquid is a bit over a week steeped, and it is marvelous.

I ordered my ego-c stick and some juice. I got a tobacco sampler from Vaperite and some Black Tea from the place Medusa got it. I think the tobacco does not have nicotine. I am a little concerned about that but I will give it a try. So I am not sure about the steeping. I guess I will just have to give it a try.

Even our buddy, durrrrrrrr, called the other night and has bought an ego-C and is going to try to wean down. I am very excited about the prospect of my beloveds getting off of the smokie treats! I am 35 days smoke and nicotine free.

Thanks Loren_Q for the all VG info. I was noticing the flavors are pretty mellow. I will do extra flavor next round.
I am liking my berry/peppermint blends. And the sweet flavors taste yummy. So subtle. Maybe waiting longer (steeping) will help a bit. I was wondering if I should have one liquid that had a wee bit of nicotine for a rough spot. Something to think about. Going to do some more investigating. The General is pleased by the smells. She would love it if I stayed quit. |

I just noticed this thread and I thought I'd chime in with my observations. I use a Joytech eGo-C to vape. My juice of preference in "vanilla menthol", and I use the next to lowest nicotine level. One thing I definitely noticed is that one has to inhale differently - much less force, and shorter puffs. I had gotten to the point where I only smoked two cigs per day (one with coffee in the morning, and one after dinner). I've kinda fallen off the wagon, but I'm getting back in the vaping groove now. I actually find it much better than smoking and I can certainly feel the (good) effects when I exercise.

Today I am convinced to keep the juice nicotine free. Thanks for sharing your success Medusa. Rereading the juice warnings about the poisonous nature of nicotine is a good reminder.
The stuck inside blizzard weather is helping me bond with the little vapor. I am standing out side with it occasionally. But that is just me shaping my behavior and pairing the ecig with my usual routines. |

Vaping at work
There are 4 vapers (vaporers?) in my office. A couple of the guys will vape at their desks, it makes a few of the other co-workers freak out because they'll see smoke coming out of their cubes.
Personally, I'm trying to maintain my 'smoking' habits, so I don't often vape at my desk and will go out with the smokers... unless I'm having a really bad day. On those bad days I'll steer clear of the smokers (cause I'm afraid I'll bum one) I do notice I'll go vape my brains out in the hallway. I've gotten the other vapers to go outside with me, keeps that social, break from work thing going. We had a rainy spell just a while ago, and there I was, standing inside the lobby watching my co-workers huddled under the ledge smoking... Not missing that!

Then a couple of weeks in I had some emotional upheaval and ordered prefilled cartos with the lowest nic level. I did this because that was when 4 of the 6 cigarettes I've smoked happened. I figured my vaping habits mimic enough, but my brain wants something more. Once the low nic came in, I did much better. The emotional upheaval did get worse, but I was able to limit to 2 cigs. I don't know if it's cause I've got low nic or what, but any improvement is good. Right now my juice is split, half is low nic, the other no nic. Today's been all no nic and I've been fine. Loren

I found a local kiosk at Lloyd Center in Portland, Nic Station. I am so grateful, because I have spent the last few weeks reading, reading, reading and watching video after video. I just could not make a decision, and I was afraid I would order incorrectly.
The local kiosk let me try several setups, many flavors, and gave me mucho discounts on a combo purchase. I ended up with two complete sets and extras, which included: 2 10 hour batteries and variable voltage. Car/home charger Travel charger (portable power source, that when fully charged can charge phone, laptop, vape, Kindle and more) 1 50ml Cuba, I can't explain the flavor of this, but it is smooth 1 50ml Blueberry Champagne Carrying case 4 cartomizers 2 purple tanks with included cartomizers and tips I am enjoying the Cuba now, and I am really digging the throat hit. I am using the nicotine type, I'm not ready to give that up today, but I will soon enough. Baby steps. Nic Station has a website, but it is not up yet. They said once it goes live, they will have free shipping, and since it is in Portland, it shouldn't be a long wait if I need something in a hurry. I have a fantasy about this year's reunion. It involves an empty smokers' wall outside the hotel, and a shit load of healthier Planeteers. |
