Good grief @windows, well done for keeping off the fags for such a long time with such limited flavour choice. I don't think I could do that.

CaptainChaos oh what a shame! I've got 2 of those which I thought I'd leave another week because I'd read on here that other peeps have left them a month before they'd 'matured' enough - that's the Dark Cherry and the Irish Cream. The Dark cherry does smell like it ought to taste of cherries to me, but with marzipan, and I don't like marzipan lol I really don't get how these liquids can smell soo lush and then not taste of anything! Well, only metal and prickly feeling in my case lol

hi @windows geesh that sounds so frustrating! You've been vaping a whole year and still getting that? Poor you! I've been smoking for many many years too, I hope that isn't what's in store for me  Are you completely off the analogues now? |

 Clivia thank you! I'm hoping to be able to go to a meet that's supposed to be happening on may 18th in Edinburgh. It's being run by a local shop and looks like there might be some interest. I'm feeling a bit nervous about it tho! (I don't get out much lol) The tasters I got were from joose juice, the 10 ml ones. One of them, Spearmint, has a really strong smell but tastes much much weaker - it's also looks cloudy in the tank. Is it supposed to look that way?

keepitgoin thanks for the advice there, yeah discodes put me straight about not dry burning the 306. I'd already done it by then tho  Got myself confused (not difficult lol) It also sounds like, from what you said, I wasn't putting enough drops on to start with. It doesn't seem to matter how many drops I put on now tho - it just tastes disgusting! I might give it one more try, but not today - even tho I've brushed my teeth I still can't get rid of the metal yucky taste! I don't think I burned it out cos it was still fizzing an popping like a goodun but maybe I still broke it somehow?

CaptainChaos was it the jj ones you had trouble with or was it the chef's.. er... I forget the name, chef's something - those 1ml ones you can get from .. er the rainbow place... jeez my memory is so bad! lol Anyway I remember reading a review you did where you found most of them tasteless - it's soooo disappointing! You may well be right about our tastebuds still being crap as we've not long started. Hope I do find something I like that doesn't take the back of my throat off soon! I haven't gone for any from smoke rainbow (that's the name of it! yay I remembered!) because they come in such small amounts and I really haven't got on with that 306 atty . I've only had 4 tanks so far (I did get 2 more this morning tho) and didn't fancy having to clean everything every time... There is a shop in Edinburgh that does juices but I'm not sure if they let you try them. I'd be a bit shy to ask anyway.

halight steeping's only waiting an eternity for your juices to mature, nothing more to it really! I do know what you mean about there being a load of info to take in all at once tho, I have been struggling with that a bit and already made some mistakes. No stinkies in 4 days is colossal tho! Kudos to you for that! Steve (VapeStorm) yeah I need to keep at it don't I? Keep trying different things. Just ran outa patience today I guess...

paulymeatballs yeah I should have some more patience I guess! I'm still experimenting with strengths etc. The first liquid I had was 12mg nic 80pg/20vg dekang mocha and I found that a really nice flavour but too strong with the throat hit and prickly sensation. Next I tried 6mg nic 80pg/20vg, and that was better on the throat but didn't stop me smoking. So I got a variety of 40/60, 50/50 and 30/70, all 12mg from jj so see if that made any difference an so far I can't really tell. Guess it would help if I actually liked the flavours tho eh? lol And yeah convert, I've heard nothing but good things about jj and I've let them steep for nearly 3 weeks. I don't understand it. Was looking forward to them so much!

I waited ages for my joose juice testers to steep - (not sure if it's been 18 or 21 days), had some needle tip bottles arrive this morning so tried again with the 306 atty this afternoon. I looked up a guide exactly how to drip and did everything it said but all I could taste was hot yucky metal.
Washed the atty, and left it to dry but I think I knackered it with all the dry burning I did the other day. Either I broke it or dripping's not for me 
So I decided to try my new naturevape mini that arrived on the doormat this morning. Put a juice in, popped it on my vision spinner, looked up another guide to make sure I'm doing the right things - and it tastes... horrible to be honest Played with the voltage, tried varying my technique... nothing I do seems to make it any better. I'm getting all the things I don't like about vaping so far - too harsh a throat hit, prickly feeling in my mouth and nose, metally sort of taste and very little flavour. This is sposed to be the bees knees for my stage of vaping but it's really just not very nice at all
So I decided to go back to what I started with - K2 tank on 1100 mah ego battery. Another juice, new head and the very first flavour I ever tried (joose juice again whereas the first one was dekang, but same flavour) and which I loved (but just found too harsh and quickly got vapours tongue from). It's the best of the bunch, but honestly that's not saying much. It's just 'ok'.
I feel like I'm never gonna get the hang of this. I so WANT to like vaping! But there's just so many variables at the mo and it's all still so new. I don't know what things are SUPPOSED to taste like and I can't tell which part to change that will make the difference. I know I just have to change one thing at a time I guess, do it by a process of elimination... but I guess I've just got dispondant.
I just lit up another stinky.
Has anybody got a wee hug spare cos I could do with one!  |

I woulda thought that's sensible rednutt. Wonder if it's like a lot of other things and it will affect some people more than others? |
