My first pay day since really starting to vape.

[BrenD]

The T-Juice sample pack from Smoke Rainbow, 3 Bauway 306 LRs, 2 30ml bottles from Joose Juice oh and £20 on Todd's raffle.  If I manage not to raid myepack for a couple of clearos before bed I'll be doing well.

I think we all know I'm about to raid myepack

Life is good.

Good good!  I don't think I could ever use them while I'm at work or out and about, the convenience of a clearo wins every time, but for the samples, trying juices at different stages of steeping and being able to change flavours without much hassle when at home, they seemed like the way forward.  I can't wait for them to turn up.

My goodies have turned up. The 306s and some new heads for my iClear 30 turned up yesterday and the bottles of Apple Pie and Gingerbread from Joose Juice turned up this morning along with the T-Juice samples. I really wasn't expecting Smoke Rainbow to get them to me so quickly. I feel like a kid at Xmas

If I like the Apple Pie and Gingerbread (blind bought based on the opinions of others, I know, I know) life will be incredibly good. I might try a little gingerbread today, leaving that one to steep might be tricky. It'll be interesting to see how I go with 24mg juice too, many have cut down on nicotine levels but I felt like doing the opposite!

BrenD when I first started vaping I tried 18mg, then 24mg then 30mg which finally worked for me. Now vaping 16mg 1st thing in the mornings, 14mg during the day and 10mg in the evenings, except when out and about where I have 15mg.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to reduce your levels, listen to your body. For me I could tell when to cut down as I noticed I wasn't vaping anywhere near as much and so i tried cutting down and vaping more which worked a treat. I have no time scale in mind when to cut down again i will just go with what my body wants. i can go quite happily 2-3 hours without vaping where as with smoking I would have had to have had several cigs in that time.

Which T Juice samples did you get?

Nice one.
Don't forget to remove the black plastic transit sleeve and replace it with a 306 driptip before use. Also they tend to come primed with a bit of liquid that can make the first few puffs taste a bit meh

Happy days, BrenD!

Definitely leave the gingerbread as long as you can BrenD - it will have a chemical aftertaste at the moment, and that may put you off it. Better to leave it as long as you can! I usually find joose juice a little weak on flavour, but I love their gingerbread.

Dont try the t-juice unless you are prepared for more spending - it's goooooood on second thoughts, try it straight away while you still have money left this month!

That's what I do . I can happily go 2-3 hours without vaping so long as I have mints

Don't reduce too fast newbies. Just 'aint worth it

Finally hitting the T-Juice, I'm not that impressed so far! But I am getting the tobacco flavours out of the way first and knew I wasn't going to like UK Smokes. The descriptions of the other baccy flavours at least sound a lot more interesting.

So much to reply to, so here goes...

zeldamum I bought www.smokerainbow.com/t-juice-pack-26-samples/ so it should keep me going for a little while.

As for nicotine levels, I'm a funny one. I'm not quite the person all of the warnings urge not to take up a nicotine habit, I used to smoke up to 20 rollies a day, but quit years ago when I graduated. Or all but quit, anything remotely stressful made me reach for a packet of straights and proximity to alcohol could be dangerous. I like nicotine, but when I quit there wasn't a viable way of getting a reasonably safe fix. When I started a second degree, I slowly found myself smoking more around deadlines and exams and realised that I'd be smoking again before I knew it if I wasn't careful. So I picked up a few disposable lookalikes before one deadline and found them OK ish.

The vaping started when I had some pretty terrible news at the end of Jan, being told that a non-smoking close relative might have lung cancer is certainly stressful enough to make me smoke (long story, happy ending), but ranks pretty highly on the idiotic reasons to reach for a cig list. So after a little bit of research, I visited a newsagent I'm on good terms with to see what he could flog me, expecting to leave with more disposables. But he had stopped selling them a while ago as he thought they were crap (good man!). He then asked me if I needed something that looked like a cig (I didn't) and he seemed pleased when I said no and had a little rant about the nicolites he sold only being marginally better than the disposables and stupidly expensive. When he had a little delve under his counter and pulled out a little black eGo/CE4 starter kit I had to have it. Even at that stage he could have sold me a blister pack eGo kit for £10, but suggested I go for the slightly more expensive one and offered me some cheap juice if I did. £15 later and I was a vaper. The guy isn't a vaper, but obviously gives a toss and likes to know what he is selling. If only there were more of his type around.

Then one eGo became two, my collection of clearos started to swell and I feel for the MVP v2. As you all know, shiny is the only cure for shinyitis and it is only a temporary fix

That turned into more of a rant than I intended it to be!

OneDay Yup, the first few puffs did taste a bit meh. Things improved a bit, but only slightly. I should really offer to send the baccy samples to someone who might like them, but now that I've got them it seems silly not to vape them. But things can only get better! I'll pick up a cheapo bottle of vodka today and soak the other two 306s before I use them.

ionian It didn't taste chemically to me, certainly no more chemically than a can of Old Jamaica, which I'm quite partial to! On the lower voltage settings I got quite a ginger hit and it tasted slightly more syrupy as I upped the voltage. Knowing that it will only get better with time and that the second bottle will be good to go by the time I have used the first is quite exciting. For the record I know I'm sad.

When I first bought bottles from Joose Juice and Dark Star, I forced myself to try some as soon as they arrived, knowing that they would need time to steep. How could I learn about the difference steeping makes if I didn't sample before and after? I have certainly sampled juices that tasted far more chemically than the gingerbread upon arrival that I wouldn't want to vape a tank of, the gingerbread I keep going back to despite telling myself that each refill would be the last and that I should really leave it alone
