40 years smoking, not clever is it.

[johnmandy]

Well, Hi everyone..... 40 years a smoker, the last 10 smoking Golden Virginia rolling tobacco without filters.
20 years a miner in the South Wales Valleys, and now working in engineering with all sorts of fumes that have to be managed.
I have tried electronic cigarettes once, but that was just with my wife's one, (by the way, she is 3 months into her attempt, and is rarely using her e-cig at all).
Well its day 1 for me, no pangs or gripes about missing my real fags, yes, I realise its early, but I have given up successfully, at least for a while a few times before, from 3 month to 2 years.
One thing, for now at least you experienced members may help me with, I am currently using Dekang, (medium) VA Blend 16mg/ml... If this makes sense, but find it very harsh, not to my taste at all, (I have had a look through the Forum, its got loads of good advice, but nailing down a suitable vapour for me seems very difficult....... could a fruit flavoured one be a replacement..... over to you good people.

Just for reference, is there a problem with the forum this evening, I am having lots of difficulty typing on here, my other forums are showing no signs of these same problems.

Hello and welcome johnmandy, do you have any vape shops near you where you can go and try out a few juices? That's a great way to try new flavours out without the cost! I know MrKraken is in Abergavenny but don't think he has a shop yet, his juices are amazing! http://www.krakenecigs.com/eliquid

Welcome. I started on fruit flavours but now prefer caramel type tobacco and I am going to give custard another blast.

Order some sample packs and try a slightly lower 12mg or something with higher vg/pg ratio.

Vg better on the throat.

Hi John, Welcome to the Planet! Glad you joined! That's a hell of a story you have there... congrats on making the decision to try vaping! Hopefully it continues to be a fairly painless transition for you. Once you find that "Ah-ha!" juice, it gets really easy to avoid the smokes.
BTW... I had a lot of trouble posting here when I first signed in... if you're still having trouble, try going into your general settings, scroll down to the Miscellaneous Options, in the Message Editor Interface: Enhanced Interface may be checked... try clicking "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls" and see if that clears it up.
vApe On!

Welcome to POTV, I'm like driver and have started on fruit flavours (Grape, Blueberry and Melon) which are all lovely but they are not the perfect one for me. I've taken a wee risk and ordered 10ml bottles of Custard Cream Biscuit and Jelly and Custard for something totally different. Its amazing what flavours you can get. Keep Up the good work and hope you find your perfect vape

Hello and welcome to the planet. I was a 20+ year smoker. When I first started vaping people told me to start out with tobacco flavours but they just didn't cut it for me. I wasn't content until I tried different flavours. My first flavour after the tobaccos was strawberry milkshake from liberty flights, and then my journey began.

Yea same as above, just stick with it for a few days. I really didn't like the first tobacco juice I had and it was a week in before I ordered some Kraken juices. They were a mega difference and really opened my eyes to what vaping was all about.

By the end of the week though I had got acquainted with the tobacco juice, but still, I've not had one since!
