Hey and welcome to the forum :) I have been trying to get that right tobacco flavour for nearly 2 months now, and unfortunately I have been unsuccessful, however I am actually preferring the trying and testing all the other juices out there, so looking for that tobacco flavour is not so important anymore.. good luck !

You won't believe it now but your search for what you think you desire, will die with the the first stinky fag you try after this magic juice has taken you away from them for a week. Boady makes a prophecy! :)

The Forum has given you a lot of advise, the one piece of advise i would give is try to get some clear cartomisers.
In the start a lot of people seem to struggle with filling the cartomisers and having a few clear ones to fill will help you understand a little more how to fill them as you can see the liquid soaking into the filler material and see how long it actually takes to fill and how they have to be left to stand for a while so that you do not have dry filler.

here is one vendor that has in stock.

http://www.simplyeli...oil-cartomizers

Note that these are dual coil so your battery will go flat faster but to be honest this is the cartomiser that helped me get a setup that i use all the time now.

With the dual coil you do get a larger throat hit and a warmer vape that is closer to smoking but the main reason i am recommending them is the clear tube.

Good luck and happy vaping

I buy from anyone who sells good products at the right price, even quit kit vendors.

Hi there and welcome from me too. Been looking through and the lads and lasses have covered just about the lot, well.......
Anyway, in the blink of an eye you will be an ex-smoker and, trust me , you won't be wanting to replicate the stink and cost. Yuck! Good luck to you and,BTW, I didn't find it took any will power at all. If you yearn for a gasper just have one,you'll soon find which you prefer.

I'll really have to book that eye test - I thought Merseymum liked candles; of course, American, CANDIES

Indiana, Im as new as you, so Im not going to be much help, but I wont let that get in the way of having my say. I think that if you want to Stop the fags, you have to make that decision, and then use vaping as the crutch to help you through. Im not sure that taking up vaping in the hope that it will lead to a cessation of smoking will work. It never worked that way for me. I tried vaping some years ago with those sort of thoughts in mind and didnt last long.
This time round I made a snap decision to stop smoking and bought the ecig as a crutch. This time round its working. I got my cheap inferior ecig and stopped smoking instantly, using the ecig as my crutch. Even though its not the best ecig going, its performing the function that I need from it. Im out of the UK working at the mo, but when I get back Im also planning on the jacvapour Vgo. Im as sure as sure can be that I,ll never smoke again. Good luck anyway and I hope you find something that will see off the weed forever.

Apart from the obvious health and social benefits, I threw this sheet together to remind me of the <possible> financial ones also. I was spending £35 a week on the weeds. I have not included the startup and running costs of vaping, but I have not had the urge to buy/use an analogue since xmas day. £1700 bloody quid a year ffs...

Thanks for the warm welcome!It's scary when you see the cost in front of you in black and white. I'm currently spending £43 a week on 200 B&H (duty free). That's £2,236 a year, a lot of money that would come in useful with four kids and a wife to support!

I've never had trouble with letting things 'stand for a while' I just whack in a few drops as recommended by Jacvapour video and give it a shake like a thermometer until it puddles on the top, wack the bung back in and vape away. if ya get it down the middle hole just blow through onto a bit of tissue then wipe the connection.

Indiana, you aint never going to get the perfect tobbaco taste because you aint setting fire to four thousand chemicals! As a vaper you now have the opportunity to play around with all sorts of flavours that the coffin nail bashers cant have.
my all day vape is Intellicigs (dont touch the units) Ecopure 'rich' with either a few drops of Jacvapour's 'coffee' in or a few drops of 'cherry' in.
I used to be a half ounce of Old H a day smoker a couple of years plus ago.

not sure how that would work out for you though.

Woo hoo!

I just ordered my Vgo starter kit from Jacvapour.com.

I didn't want to wait for stock to come in so I settled on the white one with the 650mah batteries instead of a black one with the 950s.

I'm hoping my wife will convert to vaping too so i'll eventually pass this on to her and get myself some new gear.

I paid extra for faster shipping so hopefully it will be with me on Saturday.

I'm especially happy as I've found out that a vaping shop has recently opened about fifteen minutes away from my house.

Result!!
