my experience so far...

[defectiveaudio]

Hi all

Right, I joined a little over a week ago I think and thought it was time to post my experience so far

Firstly, sorry but I went against everyone's advice and bought the Innokin AIO PCC starter kit - the reason was it was small, easy and simple. I wasn't sure how much I would use it and this looked perfect for my first needs. I also have no problem investing more at a later date on other equipment, I felt that either way this would still get some use further down the line.

I have been smoking roll ups as well as vaping for the last week, I am still trying to find a juice that I really like (just ordered another 7 samples today). I filled up a new carto last night with a new sample (I bought the kit and 4 samples) and it's the first one I have actually really liked, as a posed to being OK...

I am very happy with the Innokin kit, the PCC holds its battery for ages! (I actually haven't charged it up since I got it last Friday) but then again I am not using it full time as such. Hopefully once I find some juices that I really like, this will change. 

I am sure at some point in the future I will get the recommended Riva, but at the moment it's more than enough for my needs

Finding a good juice is key - do bear in mind that steeping makes a BIG difference with some juices. And if you like the Innokin, your next purchase could always be the iTaste vv - I have the express version and damn fine it is too I also prefer clearos to cartos, I think the flavour is much better, but there are plenty of people who think otherwise! The fun is in the finding out

DA - please don't apologise for your purchase, it's helped you cut down on the stinkies and that's got to be good!
As you say, it's all about finding the right juice for you - once you have 2 or 3 that you really like, then you'll be in a much better place to cut out tobacco completely. And don't beat yourself up about having the odd fag - just turn it on its head and think about the number you HAVEN'T smoked because you've been vaping.
Keep us posted, and let us know if you have any queries - we're here to help!

I completely agree that finding the right juice is key - and that the search is great fun

[Balllsy]

What ever works for you is great! As other members have said your search for a satisfying liquid is very important to keep you on track so I wish you the very best of luck with that. I found menthol vapes the most satisfying, some prefer fruity some tobacco flavours, but for me the menthol gave me the best throat hit and best vapour. As I always eat chewing gum or mints the menthol liquid was an excellent compliment to this.

Jen - What is the difference between clearos and cartos? There were 3 cartos included with the kit so that's what I use at the mo

Andy - Thanks, at the start I always had the intention to smoke and vape and was hoping that over a period I would just cut down and stop the tobacco. Even if I do replace smoking with vaping completely, I will never say I wont have the odd smoke from time to time!

Clearos are plastic tubes that screw onto your battery (not the AIO though) with wicks and an atomiser. So you can see the juice level, and I think the flavour is better (your mileage may vary!). If you got the iTaste next, that'd be what you'd probably use with it, like these.

I never intended to quit the fags, I just didn't want to keep having to go outside when staying in B&Bs. A week later, and with the iTaste, I'd quit completely

sleepyduck - I am looking forward to the sound of the liquids I ordered today!

Ballsy - I have never been a fan of menthol smokes so haven't ordered any menthol liquid yet (I have just ordered mint though, maybe that is going to be exactly the same?!)but I guess it would be completely different vaping

I'm always open to trying things first and then deciding if I don't like something!

Ahh right, I thought that may be what you meant and didn't think it would be suitable for mine. 

I am reading a lot about people not intending to quit and then doing so, which sounds great to me! Who would have though that you didn't even have to try to stop?!

That's the beauty of vaping!

THESE are suitable for the Aio the advantages are, easy to fill, you can see how much juice is in them, if you want to swap flavours a quick rinse and you can vape another flavour.

Ooo, good spot Des, I'll stick some of those on my next order

[defectiveaudio]

Thanks Des - those do look really good, might have to give them a try when I next order from vape escape.
