I started just to save money, but have come to love everything else about vaping too.

My local store sells only 30 ml bottles (probably 35 ml of liquid, they fill em to the brim) for 16.95. Love their flavors so I'd have to be pretty impressed to go much over that ratio.

Vaporesence is a local chain here in TX that does their own juices. I was big on menthols too and they do a Smooth (like Marlboro Smooth, spearmint-y) and one called Siberian Fireball that is a Cinnamon mint mix. They do a Neoport (Newport of course) and just a straight menthol too.

Just got a Kanger T3 and a few replacement heads. When it works it's great. Love the look on my eGo twist (tanks always look weird and like its going to snap off), easy draw and lots of vapor. A bit of the plastic-y taste others have mentioned but went away quickly. When it's bad it's really bad. Leaking, gurgling, hard to draw through, just unusable. There seems to be a really small window of usability in variation between the replaceable heads. Inside that window, its one of the best vaping experiences I've had, get a bad coil head or anything though and its just a nightmare. There are a lot of YouTube videos and the like about rebuilding or fixing them if you want to go that route, or spend a couple bucks and just throw a new head on there. Seem to be hearing some talk that letting the tank get to less than 1/3 full can lead to some of the issues too... do the MT3's have any of these problems that y'all have seen?

Was a menthol guy before I started vaping and that hasn't really changed. My local store does a Smooth (as in Marlboro) that has a spearmint to it that is nice. Goth Kid is clove, which is a bit overwhelming at first but really good after two or three puffs. The spice from the clove scratches that same itch the menthol does.The Fin menthol that got me started is pepperminty with a vanilla smoothness to it and I'm thinking about finding or recreating that from their flavors

Thanks for the warm welcome folks! Sure am glad to have found a forum that is busy and friendly

New to vaping, got my first rig at their San Antonio store. Largely just want to reinforce whats been said. Staff is highly knowledgable, friendly and not high pressure. I guess if you vape all day at work you tend towards mellow. The liquid selection is kind of nuts. 350+ flavors, 12-24 mg/ml nic mix on hand and can special order down to 0 or up to 36. Since their liquids are mixed here in TX they can get you spcial orders in just under a week. Open space, tables and chairs to chill and vape, play with your rig or try different flavors. The space and the staff build an environment you just want to hang out in. Even if I was to find an online retailer that sold hardware or liquid cheaper, I'd probably keep giving them my business. The prices are reasonable, and the staff has earned my trust already. Big props to a brick and mortar store doing it right and giving you something you just can't get online.

About 6 weeks ago I bought a Fin menthol starter kit at my neighborhood WalMart. I was not looking to quit smoking, just save some money. As a guy that went through a carton every two weeks for 12 years, this was a heck of a deal. On my way home I thought "I think I may have just quit smoking... but that's crazy." I woke up the next morning wanting my coffee any my morning smoke... but not a smoke I wanted my Fin. I had quit smoking, more or less accidentally. Two weeks later I went into a local specialty store (Vaporescence) not havng any idea what to expect, and walked out with an eGo starter kit. Two weeks after that I was injecting eliquid into my dead Fin carts with a syringe because I'm clearly nuts. Yes, I realize this may have been a bad idea. I also already burned out one eGo T battery using the wrong charger. I can't help but experament with this stuff. I already want an eGo twist set up. The hobbyist side of vaping has clearly hooked me. It's been six weeks since my last true tobacco-and-fire type cig. My last pack with my last six cigarettes and lighter is sitting on a bookshelf and unlikely to do anything other than collect dust. So now I'm here. Looking to connect with other enthusiasts and learn more about what is apparently my new hobby. I guess you'll be seeing me around.
