Hi there,
So firstly, I'm new. Secondly, this is really just an update in the hopes of maybe helping out other new people.
I was directed to this forum by a friend on a forum I work for. While moderating the chat room, discussions turned to e-cigs (which was weird, but that's another story entirely!) and having recently tried one of a friends and feeling mine was somewhat lacking in comparison, I ended up here looking for advice... I'd like to thank those of you who were helpful, rather than making me feel like I was just wasting your time by being here.
I took some of the advice provided and am very pleased with the results having purchased this:
myepack.co.uk/kits/evod-starter-kit-ss.html and the first menthol liquid I found on the site.
I'd previously been using Smoker's Angel for about a year, but in my case, they just weren't enough to keep off the traditional cigs full time. I started using them largely because I was often in the area, so if there were any problems, I could make a nuisance out of myself, but they turned out to be pretty amazing when it comes to service... They only once got my order wrong in all that time, sending normal tobacco flavour rather than the menthol I'd ordered, a quick call though and mine were in the mail and I was keeping the wrong ones too (brilliant if you can use them, I couldn't, but oh well)
I've now purchased a spare battery and 2 Smok Tech pyrex Aro tanks, which arrived yesterday and I'm even more pleased (no leaking, oddly easier to fill even though there seems to be less room around the sides and an all round better vape) In addition to this, I've tried the 12 flavours that most appealed on Joose Juice, the menthol is amazing, and the bubblegum tastes just like my favourite sweets that I struggle to find these days!
Joose Juice flavours tried:
Apple - Liked it when it first arrived, but was pretty weak. After a week or so, it was a little stronger. Great for vaping for the sake of vaping, but I keep something a little stronger for when I need to fill the smoking void.
Mango - This one is growing on me. I really wasn't convinced with this one even after steeping, but it's true what they say - When you quit smoking, your taste buds change, and after a while, I really started to enjoy this one.
Blueberry - Well, it tastes like blueberries, so assuming you like those, you'll probably like this!
Blackberry - I think this one may be a little strong for me, first vape was like being smashed in the face with blackberries. A lovely change, but I couldn't do it all day.
Grape - Not too strong, not too weak. Found it really nice, but again I don't think I could do it all day.
Cherry - I love cherries, I love this.
Cappucinno - Starting to think I'm not a coffee type of person, this was far too strong for my taste, but does take the edge off when I'm in work and the only alternative is drinking what passes for coffee there!
Mocha - A little more manageable than the cappucinno, I couldn't do it all day, but is quite nice of an evening before bed (you know, when you're trying to avoid actual coffee in the hopes of sleeping at some point)
Irish Cream - Goes best with Irish Coffee (or Irish Latte!) This may or may not be my new go to excuse for having an Irish Coffee!
Marshmallow - I need more of this, it's like all the fun of smoking and all the fun of marshmallows without stinking like an ashtray or calories!
Bubblegum - You know those blue and pink sour sweets? It's them, in liquid nicotine form... I can almost feel the weight falling off!
Menthol - I've tried several menthols, and when I originally started this venture, it was in the hopes of finally kicking the menthol cigs... Well, I've kicked them, and won't be looking back.
About to be ordered:
More menthol, lots of it.
Banana
Banana Nut Bread
Key Lime
Brandy (I suspect this may go well with a nice brandy!)
Pina Colada (I have problems with most things that taste of coconut, instant migraines, but I love coconut - hoping this may be one of the few I can get away with)
We are now on week 3 of having had no real cigs, well almost - There was one slip while waiting for a court verdict (we weren't allowed to attend and sitting by the phone all day got the better of me!) I bought my usual menthols, had one, it tasted vile, went back to Joose Juice menthol. Had another one a little later, after all, the first one always tastes vile, right? Well, it still tasted vile... 8 went into the bin!
