hello, yes, hello

[remnant]

Another new member. I've been vaping with cigalikes for six months now, after nearly forty years of smoking, mostly roll-ups. At the beginning, I wasn't even planning to Give Up Smoking - my only previous attempt was a nightmare of fail - and then it took about three days to realise that I preferred everything about vaping, that I wasn't going back.

Registered with UKV last Saturday and attended the LSE meet. I was the whiskery bod with the cigalike. Yes, the only one. Had a great time, met a very nice bunch of people, learned a lot. This went a long way to soften the crushing humiliation due to my total lack of Shiny Stuff - but obviously not quite far enough to keep me from ordering a bunch of hardware this week (Vamo, IGO-L and some other bits & pieces). I'd been advised to wait until Vapefest before splashing out, but... then I discovered Fasttech, didn't I?

Ah well, mustn't ramble. Looking forward to meeting lots more people - hopefully at Vapefest, certainly at the next LSE meet.

rgds, marc aka remnant

Hello from me too remnant

[padiho]

*welcome*remnant, great to have another new member to a truly great forum.
Well done on giving up the stinkies after 40 years. I also managed to give up after 45 years. Like you started with a cig a like but now the proud owner of 4 spinners and a vamo...you will see a tremendous difference.

Hi Marc

Wow. I am slightly taken aback at the warmth of the welcome here (*not* sarcasm, I really am).

Regarding the shinyitis, I'm not really looking at it that way; I'm sure they all say that at first, but my plan, such as it is: equip myself with a solid foundation of vv mod, dripper, rebuildable atty - and then basically get my geek on with the DIY mixology. However, I need to make my first juice purchase(s), to keep me going while I assemble my mixing kit.

I want to start with tobacco flavours because
(a) I have been vaping tobacco cartos (Nicolites, "high" strength, "tobacco" flavour) for months already, and
(b) I don't want to get stuck, early on, with flavours that might be nice now and then, but honestly: vanilla custard, all day long? I think not. Also
(c) I actually like the taste of a good tobacco (I used to smoke Drum, if that's any help) and I like my smoky flavours, in all things - smoked fish, smoked cheese, smoked tea... smoke.

With all that in mind, where are the most favoured tobacco juices at? Which of the juice vendors does a good sample package? I see that alchemists' cupboard do samplers, but their tobacco section is a hard hat area just now...

[sleepyduck]

Good tobacco flavours? That is such a difficult question. Everyone seems to have their favourite, with no two people agreeing. (Having said that, you will probably get unanimity from everyone else who posts on this thread...)

For samplers, you could do worse than try some of these:

His GY4 is my everyday juice and I've heard good things said about his other tobacco types. Good luck!

Hi there Marc,
