Just want a decent experience

[fraydnerv]

Hi,
I am having difficulty finding a good, simple e-cig. I started out with a locally availble two piece with automatic battery called Cigotine. I'm sure it's re-branded, and I wonder if anyone knows the brand behind this. It really did the trick for me, but I had several problems with the product not being available when needed, and it seemed to be kind of pricey, not saving me enough. Since then I have tried blu (found them to be too short lasting for the money) and am now using a joye 510.
My issue now is that I still can't find an e-liquid that doesn't leave me wanting in taste, or the "feel" of smoking. I find that all the e-liquids I have tried (about 10 different flavors) are either so far from the taste of of a cigarette I can't handle them, or they leave an awful aftertaste in my mouth. I am now starting to smoke cigarettes again, as I just can't get the right feel or taste. I suppose I will end up going back to the Cigotine, as I totally quit cigarettes for over a year on them.
Anyone who might have a thought -- good or bad -- I just need some input
Thanks

It is very hard to find that taste as you are not burning leaves.But the ones I found to be closest are Wenston from LiteCigUSA and Mad Hatter Smooth from Kalamazoo Vapor SHop .I use most of the Dekang tobaccos from LiteCig and MadVapes they are the most cost effective and consistant I have found.

Thanks for your thoughts. I don't expect to find anything that tastes like a cigarette, but I just don't have the 'feeling' of smoking with this 510. I think that's as important to me as any taste. Maybe it's in my heard, but I did well with the Cigotine, so I think I'm going to get a battery & charger again from that place. I know I could do better pricewise, but I think I have a problem with these e-liquids. The inside of my mouth feels very odd, like it's coated with something oily. Not pleasant. I'll stil probably buy an e-liquid now and then to see if I come across one that works.

An inexpensive toy that seems to help a lot people is a 510 passthrough without the battery box and a 1000 mAh or 1 amp wall wart power supply .That would kick your 510 up a notch at 5 volts .I personaly don't care for higher voltage unless I am trying to get a few more days from a gunked up atty.But it will for sure hit a lot harder than 3.9 volts from a stock battery.If you decide you like it you could explore high voltage mods.Or big battery 3.9 volt with low resistance atties or cartos.Low resistance would not work well or at all on stock batteries but a lot of people like them as well.It simulates standard resistance at higher voltage.Or the extremists will boild thier liquid with low resistance at higher voltage.But the passthrough and power supply sholud set you back less than $25.00 .

well I guess I'm really out of my league, lol. I have no idea what you are talking about - passthroughs, battery boxes, 1000mAh -- all I want is a "simulated" cigarette ... Sounds like this "vaping" thing is a whole other addiction.
thanks for trying ... I really would love to know if anyone knows the brand/manufacturer behind the Cigotine product. If I go back to them it's still cheaper than cigarettes, but I worry about the availability and reliability. Ideally I would like to find this product through a different "re-brand" but don't know where to look

Cigotine was brought up before in another thread.We haven't been able to identify it but for what it costs you could try several others and may stumble across it.Where have you been buying your liquid? Electronic Cigarette Supplies & Electronic Cigarette Refills for Name-Brand Electronic Cigarettes! E-Cigs from LiteCigUSA has several kits and a variety of parts and accesories.You might try some of thier liquids as those ar what have found to be a good value for pretty good liquid.It has been my experience that all ecigs can deliver the goods ,some just have better battery life and price and avaiability .Hang in there.The Joye 510 is pretty much the standard so I would think you just need to find the right liquid.

If it is the feeling of smoking you want, then the only way to get that is to smoke. Vaping is different, and just like when you first started smoking, it takes some getting used to.

If it's that sickotine feeling you want, Just get yourself some 36mg juice and chain vape the heck out of it. Guaranteed you will have that sickotine feeling in no time.

Oops, my bad, you said cigotine, not sickotine. Nevermind then.
