Yea the biggest thing for me now is finding the flavors I like. I ordered spearmint, Hazlenut Coffee, and three Vanilla variants to try from VapeDudes and unlike a lot I really like the taste of tobacco and am still searching for the right one. So far Classic tobacco from VapeDudes is the best but waiting on the mail to run today to get my Original Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes. The fruit flavors are nice at times but hard to vape all day, at least for me. I loathe coffee but saw many reviews where non coffee drinkers really liked some of the coffee vapes.
The main thing I like to do with fruit flavors now, other than my two I like the best (Strawberry Fields from VapeDudes and Juicy Peach from Sweet-Vapes) is to mix them with tobacco flavor about 80% tobacco and 20% fruit flavor. I think somewhere in there I will find my all day vape.

Tameiki, Thank you, I looked online, I saw a dealer sweet-vapes and empiremods? But I have not heard much of the second, so I most likely will purchase the EVOD from her. I have heard a lot of great reviews about her site.
Bcartervol98, I tried the clearomizer that came with the EGO-C, yet it may have been a crappy model. Their is no wick apparent, and it cracked within 2 weeks, and was beyond muted flavor. Possibly, with the V2's they may have better flavor. Do you notice flavor muted in those compared to using the disposable atomizer plastic cartridges?( If you have tried those!) I may have been the idiot that used just the kit stuff while everyone else purchased different equipment! haha.
Well first I do not expect to get more than a couple weeks to a month out of a clearomizer, may have been an off brand too. I am still a little new at this but havent "cracked" one yet. I find the clearomizers I use to deliver great flavor, so much so that I have ordered unflavored to mix with some of my stronger flavors to mute it a little making some I wouldnt normally vape a little more tolerable so as not to waste the money on them. I have only used an atomizer-cartomizer system on the cheap set i bought from the mall to start and it had virtually no flavor and very little vapor. I get easily 10x the hit from my setup now as compared to those cigarette looking V-2 styles.
These are the exact Clearos I use.
I ordered some from a company called SunVapes too but they came with unwraveling and twisted wicks, the ones that came with my VapeDudes eGo T kit that were private label have work fine but I still like the ones from Sweet-Vapes better. They have the Vision logo and arent private label and seem to have a tighter seal, threads fit better, wicks are all uniform and in great shape, and have had 0 leaks through the bottom unlike the private label ones that I have to blow out every refill. So far I have found Sweet-Vapes.com and VapeDudes.com to be the most reliable suppliers. I think I like VapeDudes liquids a little better overall but they have limited hardware selections.
-
And I plan to stick with the Ego style Batteries and clearomizers for the foreseeable future but once I find the flavors that will be all day vapes for me I plan to get a couple tanks with replaceable coils. Most likely a Mini Nova from Vision or a Kangre Pro Tank but for now the clearos are fine.

In Knoxville TN, a city of 100k+ counting students at UT, the closest Vapor Store is about 80 miles away. Once I know more about this overall and legislation becomes apparent what is going to happen I may open one here. I have ordered 100% of the stuff I use online. I started buying a "Topaz" kit at the mall for my wife and I for a little over $200 total with a few extra disposable cartos and it was garbage but they are the only place in town that sells anything other than Blu, NJoy, and Nfinity.
Funny that now we together have 4 Vision Spinners 1300mah, 4 eGoT 1000mah, 20 CE4 Clearos and have spent less than those damn cheap 808 (I think they were, cigarette style pull on them to activate end glows and 3-4 hour battery life and about the same to charge) starter kits cost.
It is truly amazing the difference between the cig styles like Blu and NJoy and the real stuff. Its like going from a McDonalds cheeseburger to a Filet Mignon.
-
Just re-ordered the Juicy Peach 30ml from Sweet-Vapes. I think it has potential to be my all day vape.
Also they have a promotion through the 19th at midnight using promo code MAYSALE15 to get 15% off any 15ml or 30ml size. It is case sensitive so use all caps.

I use Vision Spinner with CE4 clearomizers. The CE4 has all sorts of names that are synonymous. CE4, Vision V2, and Stardust are all the same thing. Everyone has their favorite supplier but I got my spinners from Sweet-Vapes.com for $24,95 each and they have the real brand Vision V2 (CE4) Clearomizers for $3.95 and are the best I have found after ordering from 3 different suppliers. There are a lot of fakes out there, look for the VV logo not the "private label" stuff. 0 leaking so far, and havent had to toss one yet after over 2 weeks of heavy use. They are meant to be disposable but everyone will have different experiences with life span of these due to difference in liquids and usage.
I plan to switch to a tank at some point, but for now the clearomizers I am using are awesome. I am trying lots of different flavors of liquid to find what I like and do not like. Once I find what my all day vape will be I am going to buy a tank but for now I am happy where I am equipment wise.

Welcome James. I am approaching a month of smoke free vape living and loving the way I feel! Tennessee boy here, ask questions and take it in there is a lot of options available.
-
Thanks for everyone's comments. Vaping is amazing! I enjoy it much more than traditional "smoking".
Ghost, What is the CE4 clearo?
I was thinking about one of the Ego batts with empty carts and using Johnson Creek juice. Would that be compatable?
Best deal on CE4 I have found. I believe CE4, V2, and Stardust are all synonymous.

Almost three months and im still searching for my ADV! I think i found it in BB and GJ, but i cant purchase a second round at the moment to confirm that!
BB and GJ?
-
Works like a charm!

With the delivery today of my additional 1300mah Spinner I will not be using my original EGOT 1000mah batteries. With a full charge, how much do they discharge sitting unused? I plan to use these as backups and switch out between the two Spinners as my primary batteries but want to know they are there and ready. If they go a week, two weeks, a month, will they retain their charge assuming the power is switched off and there is no use?

I think you will like the Turkish blend. I do. I'm also into pipe and cigar flavors when it comes to tobacco flavors. Halo Torque 56, Dekang Turkish, Dekang Cigar, and French pipe is what does it for me......
I am not a fan of the Turkish Blend at all, it was cheap enough but unless my wife likes it I will most likely give it to someone on here that wants it if they pay the postage. That, the Dekang Cherry, and the Denver Dusk are my 3 least favorite flavors and find all 3 to be disgusting personally. I know everyone likes different things but I do not like any of those three at all.
-
I am going to be frank in my reviews and remember taste is subjective but this has been what I have found so far:
VapeDudes (all 16mg in 50-50 mix but plan to order 24mg in 80-20 mix from here on out)
American Standard: This is supposed to be a tobacco flavor, but tastes more like pancakes. At first I thought it was ok but I have grown to dislike it and for some reason the vapor doesnt dissipate and hangs around like smoke. Will not reorder
Cherry Tobacco: This one should be called "Cherry Chloraseptic" very strong mediciny taste. Will not reorder
Blueberry Pie: Ordered this one with the wife in mind but neither of us really like it. Will not reorder but not completely unvapable. WIll go to the back of the shelf for hard times
Classic Tobacco: This is my favorite tobacco flavor yet, but would rate as "good" not great. I usually mix it with a little fruity flavor to get a better taste. They recommend letting it steep for a couple weeks, but only ordered a 10ml sample pack and went ahead. Am going to reorder this one and steep as recommended and see if i like it even better!
Blackberry: They nailed this one, will be a regular for me. Just emptied my tank as I typed this lol.
Strawberry Fields: This is probably my and my wifes favorite flavor. Ordered 50ml yesterday as she hoarded all but a taste of our initial "trying everything out" order. Perfect natural strawberry taste without any aftertaste or candy-jolly rancher feel.
Watermelon Drip: This too is a flavor I like a lot. Not super strong melon but will most likely always have a bottle of this in the collection. When mixed with the Classic Tobacco it is very nice!
Raspberry: I am not a huge fan of raspberries in food so I didn't know if I would like this one or not but really do. They nailed this one too. I like it a lot and will definitely re-order it.
Apple Spice: Simply put, not good. Tasted like rotten apples smell.
Grape Vape: Great Taste, solid natural flavor, but for some reason vaping this alone gives me heartburn. Another one that when mixed with the classic tobacco produces a great flavor and no heartburn
Sweet-Vapes (All 50-50 mix, std flavor, 18mg but will be ordering 24mg 80-20 from here on out)
Sugar Plum: This is a great flavor, will definitely re-order. Very sweet as the name implies but not overly sweet. This is one of my early favorites
Juicy Peach: Very close to being tied with (VapeDudes) Strawberry Fields as my favorite overall flavor. Will order again very soon. May be an all day vape for me. Not super sweet, GREAT mixed with classic tobacco. Cannot wait to get their Original Tobacco flavor to mix some with.
Watermelon: More of a "candy" taste than the watermelon the VapeDudes calls Watermelon Drip. Probably will not re-order this one.
Strawberry: Same as watermelon, a very "jolly rancher" flavor. Probably would love it if I hadnt tried Strawberry Fields already lol.
Cherry Candy: Solid flavor, only used it once but found it enjoyable. Not sure if I will reorder this one yet but nothing bad to say about it. Just not a huge fan of the cherry flavors
VaporLeaf (50-50 mix 18mg)
Denver Dusk: Ordered a small bottle at the recommendation in my "tobacco" thread. Was excited until it arrives and I opened it. I find it smells like moldy sweaty socks and tastes even worse. No offense to the company which seems to be great and even corrected an order I made a mistake on but this tastes like tobacco about like ketchup tastes like hotsauce. Will not use or re-order UNLESS after steeping a couple weeks it really changes the flavor. Almost unable to tell the Dekang Turkish Blend and this apart.
Eliquidmarket (80-20 mix 18 mg)
Turkish Blend and Cherry: I can put both of these together because they both equally suck. Very chemical tasting, like they left a film on my tongue. For the price I was excited but shortly remembered a lesson I learned long ago. You get what you pay for. Will never order Dekang again, probably will end up trashing these unless for some reason my wife likes them.
Just posting what I find works for me and doesn't work for me. Remember everyone likes different things so no offense if I bashed anyones favorite vape lol. I am just getting into this and trying to find what works for me. I do not like coffee in any form, and still am on a quest to find a great tobacco flavor. I cannot imagine liking the sweet dessert flavors. I am finding I like the fruit flavors best and when mixed with a decent tobacco flavor it really becomes something I like a lot.
As I branch out and try others I will post reviews in this thread. I think for the time being Sweet-vapes and The Vape Dudes will be my regular "go to" suppliers. I was in a hurry to get rid of the mall garbage and get some real stuff so I did not put a lot of thought into my initial order because I wanted it to get here fast so I didnt run back to an analog. Over 3 weeks without one! Longest I have been in 27 years and this is my first attempt to quit. I actually prefer vaping now, the wife is "getting there" lol.
EDIT to add that I just realized this may belong in the Eliquid reviews section, mods please move if necessary. Sorry about that!

Still on the look. So far Classic Tobacco from VapeDudes is heads above the rest. Waiting on Original Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes to come in but the Denver Dusk from VaproLeaf and Dekang Turkish Blend both have a very bad "chemical" aftertaste and I cant use them, in fact I can hardly tell them apart.
I dont like overly sweet flavors, cannot stand the taste of coffee in any form, and am still looking for that flavor that will satisfy my craving for an analog when on the lake drinking beer. So far a mix of 75% Classic Tobacco from VapeDudes mixed with 25% Juicy Peach from Sweet-Vapes has been the best combination but it is a long way from satisfying in this situation.
-
I think I like the idea of a tank like the mini nova over clearomizers, but as it is I still haven't figured out what my all day vape is or is going to be. I think once I find what I like and dont like I will switch to a tank like the Mini Nova or Vivi Nova. As it stands now I can have 10-12 clearos filled with different flavors. What is funny is some flavors I like at first I end up not liking as much as I thought I did. Funny how taste works lol.
-
After ordering from numerous suppliers I think they are top on my list. My clearomizers are on point, the exact same model from Sunvapes had the same vision logo but twisted unwraveling wicks while Sweet-Vapes came in perfect condition. I have only tried 7 flavors but all are my 7 favorites so far. Shipping is fast and easily trackable. Overall of the seven suppliers I have used their liquid is superior to the rest, their hardware is in stock and not "private label", and their shipping is cheap and dependable. Got my Spinners there too.
5 stars and will most likely be my go to supplier for everything going forward.
-
Congrats! Glad they are working for you. Now you headed to the next level, and whole better place....
Second this! Read reviews and get a better setup cheaper than the Blu was if you intend to keep vaping. It's a whole different experience with high quality hardware! Congrats, I am 3 weeks analog free in one hour!
-
Sweet-Vapes have great taste and service. Still waiting on the tobacco flavor but everything else has been spot on. Will be a regular supplier. Quick to ship and good liquids. Plum, peach, strawberry, all awesome.
Vape Dudes are spot on in their flavors. Strawberry Fields is both my and my wife's favorite flavor so far. Their classic tobacco is the best tobacco I have had yet even without steeping the recommended two weeks. Cherry tobacco is mediciny and if you like maple the American Standard is very good. Watermelon drip is awesome as well. Will be a regular supplier.
Eliquidmarket: I was looking so forward to trying the Turkish blend as I smoked camel lights but it is chemical tasting and barely vapable. Their cherry is disgusting and going in the trash. So much for Dekang. Great price but a wasted $25.
Vaporleaf: only tried Denver Dusk tobacco flavor and it is pretty good but nowhere as good as classic tobacco from Vape Dudes imo.
-
Denver Dusk is "ok" and the Turkish Blend from Dekang is just bad imo. Still waiting on Original Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes but so far Classic Tobacco from The Vape Dudes is miles ahead of everything else for my taste even without steeping as recommended.
Will be sticking to Sweet-vapes and Vape Dudes from here on out.
-
After trying the Dekang garbage from eliquidmarket I appreciate the Vape Dudes even more.
-
They arrived. Turkish blend is "vapable" but nothing like i expected and the cherry is just south of disgusting and going in the trash. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for.
-
Not sure the "correct" but I lay mine down, put it in my pocket, stand it up, just depends on the circumstance. My case holds my 2 egot 1000mah and my 2 spinner 1300mah, 4 tanks and some Qtips and it is always on its side. If your clearomizer-tank leaks it is faulty.
-
Cannot suggest that you buy a large bottle of juice without first buying a smaller one to test, try out for several sessions... Unless you like wasting cash ......
I was a 2 pack a day, American Spirit black / perique blend, I started with 24 mg, now buying 18, still can't find a juice to match my analogs, but lately couldn't care less!!
Start with a kit, get your chargers and misc, and then if your sure your a vaper, invest in the next level (VV/VW) ego types are the way to start....
But my new Tesla kicks @ss!,
Definitely on the bottle size, of the first 20 6-10ml bottles I have bought there are only 3-4 that will be regular vapes for me. Still searching for the tobacco flavor I like.
-
I have a dozen or so filled/ partial for more than a month with no troubles so far except for absinthe, melted the clearo in days. Cinnamon would probably crack em too..
Everybody steeps while sitting!!lol
I gotcha, that's what I was thinking without heating or use I cannot imagine it would do anything except sit there and steep. I wasn't sure if it steeps when sealed in a container. When steeping the liquid I was told to remove the lid to allow steeping, I just didn't know if the clearomizer would allow it to steep or if it would be sealed like in a bottle and not steep any further. Everytime I learn something it brings on more questions lol.
Good Evenin'

You just have to find what you like. I cannot stand the Dekang liquids from eliquidmarket and plan to give them away. I ordered one form Vaporleaf and disliked it immensely. All these smelled and tasted like moldy socks.
I just have found both Sweet-Vapes.com (be sure to use the hyphen as there is another site without it I know nothing about) and VapeDudes.com have been consistent in flavors and shipping. Be sure to read reviews thoroughly and utilize sample pack deals. Its how I am determining what I like and what I do not like at a minimal expense. I plan to order some Vapor Talk juice at some point too.
