Truckpipe

Hello VapeAtron members, I am a new E-cig user and just found your site. Lots of stuff to read and learn. I am 50yrs old and trying to break a 34 yr analog habit. (already learnng the slang lol). Got a Maxx Fusion Kit a week ago and really enjoying the new stuff. Tried Njoy 3-4 years ago and couldn't get into it. Too metalic, tasted funny. Now there are so many E-flavours I think its gonna be hard to decide what to buy. Found the suppliers section, any of them carry a good juice like Camel cigarettes? Maybe a couple of opinions from you far more experienced Vapers might give me a little shove in the better directions. I dont post alot on the internet but do read things regularly. Lots of good info here and I need to get through the Newbie FAQ.

Welcome, Truckpipe, and congrats on making the switch!

There are Camel-like flavors around- lots, in fact. I couldn't direct you to any specificly, but "desert ship" is the moniker they tend to use to indicate that, or you can just look for Turkishblends. (Some of the others here were camel-smokers, and they can steer you away from the worst of the camel wannabe juices.)

I'd actually suggest you not try to match the analog flavor you were used to, for two reasons- first, it's chasing a dragon, as the parlance goes. You'll always be disappointed, because nothing will really be the same. Second, because if you're still working on kicking the analogs, the flavor will help tie your vape experience to the cigarettes, and you'll find it harder to give them up. (On the other hand, if you go just a few days without them, you may well quickly find them completely awful, and be off them for good.)

Watch for sales, here and in other vapor forums, and sample juices of many kinds. You'll pretty quickly find your comfort zone. Some are fruit-heads, others like sweets, some go for tobacco flavors. I love 'em all, myself, which is becoming a kind of expensive habit... but I'm not buying analogs anymore, and the cost for juices- even LOTS of them- is considerably less!

Maxx Fusion! The beast of Bloog. A really good 808 piece from what Grimm Green said. It certainly seemed to perform like a 3.7v from what I could tell. Great choice! My favorite tobacco flavors are Freedom Juice (halocigs.com) and Organic Tobacconist (awesomevapor.com). The FJ is sweeter and doesn't taste too much really like tobacco, whereas the Organic Tobacconist is cut and paste. It's probably the closest taste to real tobacco since they steep the flavor from real tobacco leaves. I personally don't like a lot of nicotine, 6-8mg is my happy place, and FJ comes in a 6mg strength, but OT is a minimum of 18mg with an option for none (which still contains roughly 2mg or so from the steeping).

TP (that's just wrong) OK Pipe welcome congrats on finding us, we're like a little family here.(when were kicking scratching and howling to much one of the Mothers will come in and tell us to take it outside).
Flash is the resident flavormaven she has good taste except for forums.
Pipe just remember vaping isn't smoking, just hang in there, buy what you want to try in sample bottles of less than 10ml, it isn't the cheapest method but neither is buying 30ml of something you don't like because the name fooled you.
I only smoked unflavored Camels, but in the process of finding a juice I liked, I found camel juice was mild, moderately sweet but nothing like my memory of the analogs(smokes). I use a 50/50 blend of turkish tobacco and virginia tobacco with around 10% 555 flavored tobacco juice it is a little more smokey than the "Camel" juices. You might try it.

Hey, Dh... maybe you should buy the juice that's "o nic" and add unflavored to reach your prefered level?

And thanks, Bikes! (...I think...)

Now that I think about it, that's a reviewer you might enjoy Pipes. Grimm's a pretty well respected reviewer/entertainer of the community. I don't think he's ever visited here though, I'll have to ask him to check it out. Here's his video review of your Bloog Maxx Fusion: YouTube - BLOOG MAXX FUSION E-CIG REVIEW

That'd dilute the flavor, and the flavor was perfect in my opinion. I'm certain that's the ideal juice to encourage a cigarette smoker to get into PVs. Very easy transition in taste.

You're Welcome Sweetheart, you thunk right.

welcome truckpipe.

but...one thing...

quasimod

Welcome to the nuthouse, truckpipes! Look around, there's some interesting stuff here.

berger

Hey TP!
I agree with flash. Unfortunately (at least initially) you really cant duplicate the nasty taste of analogs without adding back things you dont want to vape in the first place. That said, you will find other things you like better in the long run.

@ Bikes "she has good taste except for forums" LOL

Welcome. This is a wild and fun place with good people. E-flavors are very subjective by person. I went through so much money and juice flavors before I finally became content. I only buy from 2 places. My favorite is LeCig. I smoked Winston and his Tobacco and Reds flavor is closest to a cig. flavor that I have found. It helps me through morning cravings. His Virginia Tobacco is also good- sweeter and RY4 is very good. The other place is freedomsmokeusa. I have gotten many flavors I don't like by them and the only two I will buy are Winston with is more sweet and their RY4. Good Luck to ya.

RY4

LMAO! You guys are great!

We aim to please....

If I can find an old pic from ~1993, I'll post it in my album. My favorite pic ever...

Truckpipe

Thanks for that thought on not trying to duplicate analogs. It hadn't occurred to me that I might build an association between vaping and smoking. I believe I will take RY4's suggestion on Virginia. and the avatar is grandchild NO2 (by birth order) hoping to make it to her wedding.... in 20 or so years.:-)
