Life Anyone here doing the E-Cig / Vape thing? - Page 21

**pr_capone** · 11-17-2013, 03:05 AM

Thanks to my vape, I've had only one single cigarette in the past 3 weeks. I have zero cravings for them and I feel considerably better. In fact, I still have about 5 smokes left in a pack and just can't see myself smoking those... don't want to.

Even better... 5ml of juice, which costs $5, lasts me about 2 weeks meaning that I am spending less in the long run. I only smoked, at most, a pack a week... but still.

I tried the Blu E-Cigs but they were terrible. Trying to "smoke" out of one of those was like trying to take a hit off a joint that was rolled WAY to tight.

I'm using an eGo-V v2 mega battery with variable voltage control with a gravity tank.

Just a cautionary video for anyone chasing that high wattage vape experience:

Doesn't seem that annoying to me. It is a near perfect mod.

Annoying to me would be the Joyetech eVic.

I really want to stop but totally lack the strength to do so.

The key I found is not looking for a flavor that tastes like your cigarette. It doesn't exist. I went with fruit and sweet flavors and found that it is best to hit your e cig BEFORE cravings come. Keep your cravings at bay and you won't find yourself in a situation where you feel the ecig isn't providing you what you need. Plus it takes longer for the nicotine to take effect from an ecig; with all the toxins and carcinogens in cigarettes the nicotine gets worked into your blood stream quicker. Keep your nic levels high with the ecig to ween you off the cigs until you are more dependent on it.

Nothing beats the day you wake up looking for your ecig instead of your pack. Best of luck.

Maybe you can answer this for me. How in the hell would you be able to vape at 30w without getting a burnt taste?

I got one each of Berry-A-Peelin, Cups O' Peanut Butter, Cherry Lemonade, Jamocha Haze, Watermelon, Bubble Gum and Honey Flue Cured. All at zero nicotine. I also grabbed a bottle of the MEL Clear with nicotine to add in to the tank because I still occasionally get a craving for it.

Only one I have tried out of that group is watermelon. It's one of my girlfriends favorites. It's like a jolly rancher.

I am curious about the cherry lemonade. Let me know what you think.

As I have increased wattage, the vaping experience has become more pleasurable. Better flavor, more vapor, smoother draws while adding much more of a throat hit. The vapor is a tad warmer, but that's it. I don't think I have had the flavor of kanthal wire since I move away from ego style batteries.

So you do rebuildable atomizers or what?

Will do. I am hoping they come in tomorrow but probably not until Monday. Then I will see how long I have to steep them, blah.

I've never had to steep their juices, but I've never bought a few of those flavors.

Oh good. I watched and old review of their site, and a couple of newer ones. The oldest review guy said that each shipment comes with a steeping card to explain the process and that the juices have a date of manufacture that aids you in the process. One of the newer ones went into how the flavor changed over time. The very newest briefly mentioned steeping. So...I don't know. I have never steeped my juice but I have never gotten any that were very fresh.

Some juices can take a bit to develop, but generally speaking their juices are great the day they arrive. If one flavor tastes a bit off, just let it sit for a few days and see. Watermelon will be great on arrival.

Sounds great. My girlfriend is already hounding me about the bubble gum flavor.
