Started this in the Humidor and had a few PM's asking to bring it out here... There you go


UPDATE: After talking with the guys at Raleigh Vapor either drop my name or tell them you're on carolina shooters club and you'll get 10% off most stuff and even more off other stuff.

Trying to quit smoking after 25 years. I tried a bunch of stuff, but always went back to the analogs. Well, not anymore ;)

I've been vaping for quite some time now and liking this much better. Haven't even had a good cigar in quite a while.

Tonight is Jameson's Irish Vapor Juice - "Melon Medly" on a nibus dripper with a Nemesis in 18350 mode. This has become my "go to" mod and atty combo as of late when sitting in a hotel room or chilling at the house.

Fresh melon goodness, real flavor, not that candy sweet jolly rancher flavor. I really like this juice but the 12mg nic is getting to be too much for me. Dropping everything down to 6mg or 0mg from now on.



Getting ready to switch out to the evening vape of Good Life Vapor - "English Bulldog" on the same setup or maybe bring out the Chi You...

We'll see shortly...

Please share which vapor devices you like best! This is something I need to do. I know, i know...real men do it cold turkey. I've smoked since I was 15 and damn it I like it.
I was the same way - still love it and sneak one from Bill every now and again to remind myself how bad it is. LOL

If you are thinking about it, we'll need to get together. I can give you a great starting kit to get you going. Warning, if you like geeking it up it turns into a bit of an hobby/addiction. Not the actual vaping, but the rebuilding of coils and figuring out what voltage, resistance, amperage gives you the best results. I've spent an assload of $$$, but that's because apparently I like spending money. LOL

I'm into the rebuildable atomizers and mechanical mods at the moment, but always have an ego or vision spinner handy for a quick toot.

Although this is a couple years old now, GrimGreen (Nick from grimgreen.com and Namberjuice.com fame) talks about the evolution most of tend to go through.

Then followed up with this one:

BurnedoutGeek,

Any chance you could put together a list of places you trust for ordering parts and juice online for me and either post it here or PM me with it?

Favorite E-Liquids:

S&S Mods
1. Gumpy's Hooch Gone Bananas
2. Grumpy's Hooch
3. Black & Black

Good Life Vapor
1. El Kamino
2. Panty Dropper
3. Sweet Criminal
4. Black Blue & Bloody - Friggin awesome!
5. Newminster

and I could go on with about 5 or 6 more from GLV...

The Standard:
* Curious Jorge - wow!
1. Frankenvape
2. Irie Nights
3. Dead Mans Party

Copperhead Road:
1. Double Barrel

Halo:
1. VooDoo
2. Tiki Juice
3. Tribeca
**DON'T GET THE SOUTHERN CLASSIC** I'd rather lick the floor of a public bathroom - yick

Devices:

Just getting started
Stage 1:
Ego Twist, or Vision Spinner (variable voltage)

Stage 2:
Smoktech SID or an Itaste SVD

Better yet to make it even easier... get an Itaste MVP kit and have everything you need.

Or something that takes a bigger battery and is variable voltage and/or wattage.

Stage 3:
Mechanical mods - Any of them, because basically they are just a battery holder with a switch. I'd highly recommend picking up a couple of the 2 cents for safety fuses going this route or use a eVolve kick type device. Pick a clone, they all work for the most part as advertised and are pretty inexpensive.
Smoktech Magneto

I LOVE my Nemesis, but it took quite some time to get and was hella expensive.

Then comes the tanks to put the juice in.

Bottom coil clearomizers:
Kanger Protank II - always a favorite
Kanger EVOD

Top coil clearomizers:
iClear 30
iClear 16

Drippers and rebuildables:
Love the Nimbus clone it has great airflow and cost like $5
RSST
Oddy
Fogger V2
Ithaka clone

That should keep you busy for a bit. Just text me if you need any help deciding what route to go ;)

You won't regret it

Update:
Man i mixed up me some apple pie flavor with a hint of vanilla cupcake(dont have the ice cream flavor) and man i tell you it is great, probably tyhe best i made so far. It is a good fall flavor to vape on if you ask me.

Im waiting for pumkin spice to get in stock so i can mix it for Thanksgiving time

edit, if the below is not allowed please let me know

Anyone want me to mix a flavor for them PM me, i will provide 3ml of a sample for 1$ to cover the cost for the bottle and some shipping(if need be) or delivery/meet up. Im not here to screw anyone over just opening up a channel for anyone that would like to try new flavors for very little cost.

PM me for any details or info or just to discuss this

my flavors are as followed-

Koolada
Washington Cherry Flavor Concentrate*
Vanilla Cupcake Flavor Concentrate*
Menthol*
Green Apple Flavor*
Dragon Fruit Flavor *
Yam Flavor Concentrate
Bacon Flavor Concentrate
Brown Sugar Extra Flavor
Caramel Original
Grape Flavor Concentrate*
Hickory Smoke Flavor
Maple Flavor Concentrate
Peach Flavor Concentrate
Apple Pie Flavor Concentrate*
French Vanilla Flavor Concentrate

* i have mixed and tried these flavors myself
\
Everything will be mixed in 100% USP PG, i dont have any VG since it gives me bad headaces. Be advised that being mixed with PG may cause flooding in bottom coils like the protank

All flavors are either Larann oils or The flavor apprentice.

Couple things below so i dont get taken advantage of.

1- i am limiting it to 1 bottle a day per a person unless there is not that much interest then I will bump it up to 2 bottle per a person.
2-the flavors above are the flavors i currently have on hand. You want a special flavor not on the list pm me and i will get it.
3- I do hold a full time job so bare with me, i try no to waste peoples time and money becuase i dont like the same done to me
4-I mix the flavors to what i think is good. If you get your juice and dont like it let me know. Yall are my guinea pigs for the lack of better terms.
5-nic content for now (and this may change) will not be mixed in the juice. I am almost out and the stuff is kinda expensive, but later down the road i might.

Thats all i can think of for now. If I get enough interest and good feedback, I will decide where this goes down the road.

Changed it up. Went with the Chi You and a clone of the odysseus with some Good Life Vapor - "English Bulldog"

Reminisent of a fine pipe, it's a vape with some attitude. A little sweet, a little nutty with undertones of something fresh, maybe even tropical mixed in along the way. Normally we disclose some of the flavors, but this one you have to try for yourself.

I bought my first one Saturday. Had no idea which to get but settled on an EGO starter kit and it seems to work fine for a newbie like me. I had a pack of cigs Saturday but couldnt wait to finish it...hell...I like vaping better than real cigs and I've been smoking for 34 years. I'm a menthol person so that so far is my favorite although I like the apple pretty good with a few drops of menthol in it.

I just use the cheapos clearomizers or evod tanks and deal with the leaks and burned fluid

I am running a Vamo variable voltage with a Kanger Evod BCC http://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004394/1376700

Fasttech is by far the cheapest place you can buy e-cig supplies. (ego starter kits <$20, E-juice $4/30ml, etc.) free shipping straight from HongKong

If you have any old laptop batteries around, they are full of 18650s. Just don't short them when you break them out.
I don't get any juice that's not made in the USA. Then again, I mix a lot of my own as well when we have time to mix some up.
 
#15 ·
Be aware that a lot of "USA" made liquid makers use bulk Chinese unflavored nicotine/PG
That's for sure. The companies I tend to get my stuff from have a single source from India. However, there is word that we'll have an American source this year, or early next year for nic extract. Another good reason to get down to 0 nic juices IMO.

Overall it's ok just seems sometimes you just can't get a tank to "vape" right I can't afford the good equipment lol

You can rebulid them. It's a pita, but usually worth it. Local guy on you tube rip trippers has a great channel for vaping and rebuildables.

Another favorite setup is a mechanical with a kick and a rebuilt protank at 10 watts.

I started using e-gigs last November and have not had a single cigarette since. I am still rocking standard V2 batts and refillable carts. Smooth Vapes Premium Peach for me.
 
#22 ·
I still smoke some cigarettes but it's helped me cut down a lot. Maybe when I get more comfortable and find a setup i like I can make the transition.

*reads thread while herfing a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte, more than likely to be followed by a Sancho Panza Double Maduro*

:D

I might give the e cigs a try eventually.
I wouldn't mind kicking the Camels but the cigars aren't going anywhere.
