where to begin?

[Jezarel]

Iv been vaping for nearly two years and I still use a cigalike (and others at home). Love those little bleeders and I dont have to sit there explaining to the entire bus what it is. Felt like a frickin uni lecturer on that trip.

If you dont mind a bigger PV I say there is nothing better than a nice big tornegova (tornado, ego, riva)and a simple LR carto or vision clearo. Nice and easy, lasts a while and looks cool.

You have links for all of them here I think so this is just my 10p worth. Next comes mod hunting, juice tasting, DIY mixing and a low bank balance, enjoy!

Regards
Jez

Lots of great recommendations above.

You will find that it is like 'smoking' I definitely don't feel as if I have given up smoking. In fact I enjoy vaping all my different flavours far more than I enjoyed a cigarette.

When choosing some juice you won't find one that is exactly like your current smoke. RY4 is a good starter tobacco flavour - it's slightly sweet and has a caramel/vanilla backnote. Choose a fruit flavour too and also get a menthol one. A lot of people that didn't like menthol smokes quite enjoy a minty vape. You'll be surprised at how much you like non tobacco flavours. Make sure you buy 5ml samples until you decide what you like and then buy bigger.

Yes....good post!

I too will admit to never liking menthol cigarettes but love vaping menthol liquid.

You know, it's often crossed my mind to just go ahead and order a nice kit (as a gift) for one of my friends that has tried the odd e-cig and not enjoyed it because it's been a bad product of terrible flavour or whatever.

I got well and truly flamed on another forum for suggesting that a super-sized e-cig with connoisseur tobacco juice was a bit OTT for a beginner.

If I was buying today, I would get a double battery ego kit or riva kit, maybe even an evod kit (although I've never used medium-sized batteries). Personally, regardless of battery, I do find the evod clearomiser v.v.good.

right so now I have my stuff arriving in the next few days (hopefully) but will I have to steep the liquids? And if I do for how long? Thanks again for any advice x

Depends... Some juices benefit from steeping, others not so much. What did you order?

[libby602]

hi and thanks i ordered RY4, swedish fish, gummi bears, cola, caramel, B&H, cherry, golden virginia, root beer and mint. Not all for me I hasten to add for the oh too lol x

Where are they from libby602 ?

Some vendors mix fresh for every order some have pre made juice

Mixed fresh needs at least a few days for the full flavour to come out but pre-mixed will be ready to vape

I would just go for it when they turn up. Any you do not like leave to steep for a few days to a week and then try them again.
Remember also that your taste buds are going to change a lot over coming months so keep hold of them and try a bit further down the line.
I have juices i hated at the start but now love.

I got them from alba, juicy cigs and vape escape.  But i'm liking the ^ answer  .  Thanks again x

Vapeescape small bottles are usually pre steeped but the 30mls are made up fresh. I think alba mixes fresh and i'm not sure about juicy cigs.

But yes, dive in and if they are not to your liking leave them to steep then try again

By the sounds of it, I doubt very much if any of those are going to need steeping. Now, if you'd ordered apple cinnamon danish pie meringue from a niche vendor, that would be different.

Just so I know for next time, how long would I have to steep it for??

Morning, I am new here so please be gentle  .  So I have decided to give this malarky a go and just don't know where to start.  I know I like the look of the cartomizers but apart from that that's it!!  I am a girly girl (well most of the time) and so would like something nice looking but that works well.  I have been smoking for 20 years +, so ideally something very close to 'smoking' (if you get my drift??).  I am so confused with what's out there ??? so thanks for any help you guys can give  

Welcome u have found the best forum ever!! I'm quite new too x

I find that a week usually does the trick.

Sadly, I think that the apple cinnamon Danish pie meringue is a figment of djs's imagination. If it isn't, I want to know where I can get some!

Thanks again for the welcomes. I had gathered as much but thought I would play along. Nice idea though x
