[Newbie W/Question]

Hello Yall....I just joined today...I have been vaping for a short while...3 weeks maybe...I used to smoke a pack and a half of cigs a day....Smoked cigs for 50 years....I started with 36 mg. menthol tobacco E juice...i like it....I bought it from a smoke shop down the street...ran out of juice...went to flea market...found an E Cig vendor....I asked for 36 mg. E Juice....he was shocked that I was vaping 36 mg.....He makes his own juice to sell.....He told me that he doesn't sell 36 mgs because it is pure poison....In fact he emptied out my E juice and replaced it for free with his 18mg. juice ....for free....He told me to quit vaping 36mg cause that was too high and it was really bad...I was gonna poison myself...Scared me....So I bought some of his 18 (the highest mg. he will sell)...I don't really like it...Doesn't give me enough tobacco flavor or throat hit...I like the 36 mg. when it starts tasting a little burnt...I want it to taste like a cig....Anyway I still had some 36. mg. menthol tobacco E Juice left at home....I was kinda scared to use it...buuuut the temptation was too strong...I started wanting a real cig...so instead of buying a pack of cigs...I am smoking what I have left of the 36 mg.....Can yall tell me if yall think 36 mgs is bad??? Hugs.

Hi Blanche,

I'm new to this forum, but have been vaping over 2 years. On another forum, I have frequently read people post that they need 36 mg. Some eventually lowered to 24, some don't. It was totally inappropriate for that vendor to toss your 36mg and sell you his 18mg. !! Now if you'd told him you were vaping 60mg or higher, he could have indicated that amount would seem a bit too high. 36mg is not "pure poison." He is uneducated in that regard.

I generally vape 18 to 24 mg regular 100%VG nic based e-liquids. 36 seems strong for me, but there are those that need that much, it depends on the person and what they are used to in smoking cigarettes. I buy some ready-made and I also DIY.

I also use naturally extracted tobacco's from a couple suppliers and, in addition, I supplement with something called Whole Tobacco Alkaloids (WTA's for short.) from 2 suppliers currently, and will be trying a 3rd (new vendor) to see if what he sells are Nets or WTAs.

Welcome to the journey. That's what I've been calling it. My quit 2 packs a day and started vaping e-cigs journey lol:)

[Whos got a good orange creamsicle?]

I've tried it from Alice in vapeland about a year ago and liked it. I bought several of their sample packs and liked quite a few. Then I got into DIY so never reordered from them.

Thank Yall....I've been reading about NET stuff....Does that taste more like a regular cig?

Hi Blanche,

I've been vaping over 2 years. I've bought some NETs and they do taste more like cigs because they are naturally extracted tobaccos. People who soak or extract these get more "real" flavor because they're using actual cigarette, pipe or cigar tobaccos. They tend to gunk coils though because of the fact that the resulting liquid is not clear, but rather cloudy due to the residue from the extraction process.

[Eliquid tastes terrible!]

I ordered 4 bottles of this crap and it is terrible. Do not recommend this to anyone!!!

Hi Shirley:)

What 4 bottles from where? what flavors? what PG/VG? what mg?

[Looking For New JOOSE!]

There's an online poll called top 50 best ejuice flavors for 2013, where the vaping community votes for their favorite juices. I noticed several Copper Creek, Mt Baker Vapor on the list. Boba's Bounty by AVE and OMG by KBV were only two on the list I've vaped. I love OMG!

Where's that poll? TIA

[Looking For New JOOSE!]

Never bought the fake stuff but a guy I work with did by mistake it was so nasty

That's what I've heard, the imitation is nasty stuff lol.

[Getting burned out on juice.]

This may sound strange, but not only do I have to rotate many flavors throughout the day, I vape unflavored in between as well. Have you ever vaped unflavored, plain nic juice? It's boring but, surprisingly, after vaping it for a few minutes, the others that are flavored really pop once again.

[Looking For New JOOSE!]

When I'm not doing my DIY, my go-to vendor is HeathersHeavenlyVapes. I need to vape 100% VG so my e-liquids seem to need to age a few weeks to be at their best flavor for me. I also use Boba's Bounty (the original one from AVE (Alien Visions ejuice) not the fake one that sprang up recently with a similar name.

Good luck:)

[Threw out over 250ml of juice :(]

I've never had juice separate from vendors or my own DIY. I wonder what caused that and what those juices were made with!

[100%VG - What's the benefit?]

I use 100% VG because I have adverse reactions to PG. Itching and burning sensations etc.

[Whatcha Vaping?]

I'm alternating between Legend, Boba's Bounty, unflavored and my DIY mixes.
