I'm fine that way Postmodern Smoking. I have no interest in lighting up. I'm enjoying the garbage tastes too much I don't need to smoke, it's just at the moment when the craving starts I'm still thinking cigarette is the only cure, when vaping is enough to take the craving away. Getting off tobacco flavours may help, but I'm not getting the same hit from those I've tried yet. Getting big my taste buds will help but I can't just flick a switch I've just hit another first. I pint and a vape 😂

😂 If I can handle a vape and a pint I think I can manage without smoking at all.

Well it was my first weekend away vaping, first vape whilst having a beer, and first vape stuck in a traffic jam, and I've survived without tearing someone's eyes out 😂
RY4 has been excellent, shame about RY6 as reading its description made me think I'd like it more. But it will come in handy at a later date. It tastes fine and would beat RY4 had it given the same throat hit. Heisenberg has also been not too bad, and seems that the name translated is 'Vic Vapour Rub' as that was what came to mind 😂 . Strangely I'm not keen on menthol, but I can vape Red Astaire and Heisenberg.
Vampire Vape's Colonel Custard, blackcurrent and chocolate seemed a bit weak for me at the moment, but nothing is getting binned as I'll try it again one day. I've got a blackjack and a coffee yet to try, and I'm trying not to just stick with RY4, although I've just ordered some more.
So thanks again for all the help, I'm getting there slowly.

It takes time to find flavours that you like- I tried quite a few duds, too! I discovered I really don't like sweet fruity ones, but the tobacco ones weren't very nice either. Then I came across VapeMate last year before we went on holiday, and I went a bit overboard with their 'drink' flavours. Peach Schnapps, Brandy, and Long Island Iced Tea. I now mix them with a little Manabush, (sacrilege, I know! but it stretches out the more expensive PowWow juice that I love.) I've been vaping for over a year now. Hang in there!

crag I've been vaping RY4 almost exclusively for 4 years after trying allsorts of flavours in my first 6 months while tastebuds clear out and readjust, and have found "the one" for me...it can take a little while and many different vendors and flavours but you know when you find the one for you, if indeed there is only one, you may find (as many on here do) that variety is the best bet.... great to hear you're keeping of the fags, keep it up Also pipeman01 is dead right, in that the expenditure seems high initially but can drop off considerably when you get settled with kit & juice....caveated by not letting shinyitis cloud your spending

I guess I've spent more than expected, certainly more than I did on smoking per week, but I can't see me having to buy more at the moment. I've got enough RY4 to keep me going for a while. Saying that,I will buy an odd bottle to try from time to time, if I read here of any recommendations that are tempting. I guess I get frustrated that I can't enjoy all the flavours thst everybody speaks so highly of. And even my rated buds scan change over a day. RY4 was excellent at first as I didn't need to vape it for long to get my fix, but I'm vaping it for longer now, and at times can seem quite mild. But as I've already said, on the plus side,I haven't been swayed towards cigarettes

Ah, I have anxcuse for using ecigwazard. I went instore to buy some flavours, unaware i could try some, but I was desperate as the couple of bottles I bought online (from elsewhere) with the T18 were so bad I needed something quick. Anyway when I went instore, I couldnt see, and the smell of whatever was choking. I explained I'd only just got my first ecig, but they tried to embarrass me in front of some seasoned vapers. They then tried to sell me from the bargain bucket. I asked for a strawberry, as you do, and Dark Horse and a Grape, was also handed to me. So I won't be going back or purchasing anything off them in future. Sorry, but it's the best excuse I have, As I mentioned before, 'Vaping for Dummies' is not so easy when the only option is to buy online. I know we all have differing tastes, but I had it in my head that a lot of vapers are ex smokers, and probably have had their taste buds battered by smoking, but have found a flavour/brand etc that has become a standard for those new to vaping. After all there are favoured analogues that are way more popular than other brands, if you get my drift dont get me started on some of the vape shops run buy youngsters with beards all ill say is if you know they have something at a price your willing to pay and you want it ,walk in buy it and walk out pref with out killing anyone decoy - Thank you for one of the funniest comments I have read on this forum - that really tickled me I can relate to that experience, especially from my "early days" ohhhh so many times

So, to open a can of worms, what can I expect by installing the 0.7 ohm coil in the Zelos. I'm aware that I'll need to go up a few watts, but I'm curious to how it'll affect flavour, throat hit and battery consumption. I think a 1.8ohm coil in one of my tanks is going to need changing in the not so distant future, and thought if it worthwhile that I'd give it a go 🤔
