| Hello everyone, I am new to ecig's, have been an on and off analog smoker for the last 15 years. I try to limit myself to a maximum of a pack every two days.
I saw the Mistic at Sam's club and wanted to give it a try and if it works I could prolly get rid of the analogs. My impression of the Mistic was ok very light tobacco flavor and good vapor. However its getting my throat dry and scratchy.
Newb question, is the dryness temporary until you get used to it? or is it better to switch to VG?
I wanted to try something else that has more flavor and lots of vapor. So I ordered the PigCig, and some Virgin Vapor samplers to try the VG and hopefully help the dryness. Unfortunately I just got word that my order will be delayed because of the extra rapid charger I bought.
Can't wait for my packages to arrive!
Happy Vapin!

tibob1 | Hi and welcome to the fun house! Congratulations on the switch!
I also started with Mistic, but used the menthol and not the tobacco flavor. Dry mouth IS something that just comes with vaping, but I have noticed it gets better with time, and using a higher ratio of VG can't hurt. You will certainly get more vapor with VG, that's for sure. As far as the dry mouth goes, drink more beer

| Pigcig was an excellent choice! Kali is right.... Dry mouth comes with vaping. You'll get used to it and won't even notice after awhile. Welcome to the forum.

| Hi tibob, welcome to your new home, lol..
The straight jackets are in the corner, and you just got upgraded to the light up ones with a pass threw jack, but the battires are on order <see VapeAtron Lunatic Manual, page 338>,
so if you would please follow me this way...
I have found that if you vape, you must hydrate.... But i personally find all pg juices, to be very drying, and gives me a scratchy through. So i am on a 50/50 mix and could not be happier. | |

YUP.. mega water intake helps me when I just have to vape PG (Pretty Gross) juices. Dry / Sore throat syndrome occurs even with that sometimes. I vape A LOT of juice sometimes. And me likes it warm. Quote:

Robert at GCV, Mike at LeCig, Kristen at Hitliquid, Casey at Mystmasters, Renee at Elect, among many others here are all very honest people with great products. Most vendors offer several different ratios of PG/VG for you to choose from. When I first started with the Mistics, I started having really bad breakouts on my face. I have since switched to about 80-90% VG and have no problems. Some people just have a sensitivity to PG.
Oh also there is a coupon section where there are a bunch of first time buyer deals that we've put in one place for n00bies. You can find them here.
