Been reading up about PG, think I may be having a bad reaction to it as I have a got a hive like rash on both my arms...not nice deffo bad move buying it off ebay, I really should have researched it a bit better. I like fruit flavours, only tried blueberry so far.

That's quite common to have a PG sensitivity Kiwi . . . I'd choose eliquids with a high VG content, you get more vapour and a little less throat hit.

Been looking at some of the sites recommended and see lots of juice with a high VG content, like the joose juice site with the small trail sizes, that's a good idea

It's worth being a little bit adventurous and choosing some flavours that you might not normally think of for vaping Kiwi, it is possible to go off of tobacco flavours completely.

with joosejuice you can order the ratio as you like it - if you like fruit flavours - they have really nice ones - for example the keylime is very refreshing

and as already said before - drink more water or tea or whatever you like

I tried some of the tobacco flavours in the mirage shop, didn't like them at all so went for the blueberry flavour but its not got a lot of taste so yes will try some new ones thanks

Just looking at all the great flavours at joosejuice, will order a selection to find out which ones I like
Was worried about putting on weight stopping smoking but with all the water I am drinking and all the walking to the loo should keep it down lol

. . . that was one of my fears as well Kiwi, as I used to smoke instead of nibbling, now I vape instead so haven't had any weight gain issues.

Hi kiwi68 and from me too

Another site to check out is Smokerainbow hundreds of different juices in 1ml samples, great for a pick'n'mix

[kiwi68]

That is what I am hoping too Perpetua, that it will stop me nibbling but now want to eat all the yummy flavours I have just seen on the joosejuice site

Thank you Lairey for the welcome, will go look at Smokerainbow

[Clivia]

well that's the nice thing with vaping - we can have all the gorgeous flavours without calories

Very good point Clivia, might become the new diet fad 
Thank you all for the great welcome messages and advice.

Hi kiwi68 the really great thing about vaping is we can have many different flavours on the go in different tanks we don't get bored then and start on the nibbles. I was worried about weight gain too but think I have lost a few pounds no scales in my place to check but my zips go up easier lol. Blueberry is quite a subtle vape so no a lot of flavour. The other good thing about vaping is we can mix the flavours together in a tank. Buy some menthol if you order from joosejuice if you find you hate a juice you can add a little menthol and it makes it vapable quite often. Also it's good to vape on it's own to reset the taste buds when you lose taste.

Thank you babs for the great advice
Is it best to buy the concentrate menthol or ready made juice? I have about 8 bottles of the awful stuff I got off ebay that might taste a bit better with some menthol in, worth a try

kiwi68 Sorry for the late greeting but a belated to our happy band of vapers

[dave]

Welcome kiwi. If you want to try adding menthol to juices, just get some menthol crystals. If you look in the Mixology section you will find loads of info on this type of thing

[Perpetua]

Menthol Crystals here on Ebay kiwi68:

You can keep it simple as Dave says and just pop a sparing amount into your ready mixes, shake let it dissolve and away you go. They won't dissolve well in VG heavy mixes, if you go for them in future and are very potent, so less is more until you get a feel for the strength you'd like.
