Maybe it's a tad warmer? Hard to say and doesn't really matter - you like what you like.

I don't have that tank, but I read a lot about other folks liking the .4 over the .5 - so you are not alone in that at all :)

Out of those 3 which would be the best. I don't really mind having a removable battery to start with, but i get what you are saying, i might want too have an integrated one down the road. I am looking at this Pico Mega now, i like the bigger tank.
Sourcemore has the PICO with 4ml tank available as a kit for 32.80 not the PICO Mega but the regular 18650 (all blacked out with black MeloIII 4ml).
Sourcemore is a good vender with free shipping. I do not recommend ever buying the 18650 batteries from China unless you want them 2 months ish from now.
Good luck!

Haha- you are so right! Backups are very important in the fight of being cigarette free! I read posts all the time about their one and only mod or tank broken and HAD to buy a pack of cigarettes- or I ran out of eliquid, or my only coil burned out and I HAD to buy cigarettes! Ridiculous!
Heck my backups have backups!
Nice price on the Pico kit-

I heard most former smokers try to stay away from the tobacco flavor. But to each there own. If you want to try an amazing Naturally Extracted Tobacco (N.E.T.) flavor. look up www.blacknote.com By far the best I've ever had. 50/50 pg/vg. $29 is a bit much for a 30ml but this brand will blow your doors off. Guaranteed

been vaping for a few months now. Have the istick pico 75w starter kit. love it. look into it. www.myvaporstore.com

I highly doubt your claim as Want2Cape has been doing it longer!

I think they are pretty right with their best vape mods. I love my JUUL!

You might indeed enjoy the JUUL. Keep an open mind though. I think if you tried an RDA on a nice mod you would be away from the JUUL in a flash. :)

Please understand I am not seeking to persuade you, or convert you into something you do not desire. I am merely suggesting keeping an open mind in regards to vaping. If you have not found exactly what you're set on to vape it is good to explore different ways of it.

Even if you are already set, it pays to try something new now and then. You might find a way to incorporate it into how you vape. You also might find a new way to vape.

I started on the cig-a-likes, then to the Evod style pen vapes. I now vape on a mechanical mod using an RDA, squonking. Do not see myself returning to Evods, pen vapes.

So in summary and again, please keep an open mind. Thanks. :)

Oh Sir, the JUUL wasn't my first vape. I started to vape on pen - I had the Jac Vapour Series-S 17 and it hooked me instantly away from the stinkies. I do also own some RDA's , RDTA's and sub ohm tanks besides my box mods. :) I just wanted to say that I love my JUUL just because it's stealthy and the nic hit is absolutely great in my opinion. But I'm using my Skill RDA just for fun - when my friends are smoking their hookah, I show them some real clouds with better flavour :)

I have never tried a hookah, well, except perhaps in another sense. *chuckles* Can imagine though you do cloud them over. My apologies for presuming from reading, you had not tried an RDA. I still get cheap buy in coupons for the Mark 10 cig-a-likes. May continue to buy them with the coupons merely as the last resort backups.

I like to drain out the wick material of the stock juice, refill it with juice of my choice. The 24mg nicotine per ml they dole out is way too strong, even for me using 12-18mg per ml. Yes I know many who use RDA use around 6mg of nicotine per ml, not gotten there for myself yet. After two years I feel good to step down a bit to 12mg gradually.

:coffee: this morning is good. I "stole" a couple of my father in law's k-kups of his coffee blend. I have a refillable k-kup that I use a medium breakfast blend in usually. Wife looked at the cost of $8.00 for 185 cups against the cost of $10.00 for the cost of 24 cups. Odd that if she liked the convenience of something, it's fine for her to pay a little more, but oh let me do so. *shaking my head and chuckling* Awe well, 'tis mere window dressings as we all pass through. :)

I started a week ago, about half a pack to about 15 smokes a day, roughly every hour or two id step outside for a cig. The vape guy set me up with 6mg, which was too weak to break my cig lust...12 did the trick but was REALLY strong. Allows me to not want to chain vape though....and ill get myself dizzy often with it...definitely the right strength to break me.

Hardest thing for me is the learned behavior of "smoking" not really the smoke aspect or nicotine. I sit too long without going out for a smoke every hour or two...and i miss that time outside pacing. Driving was the only time i broke, after two days a vape. I was still on the 6mg at the time and just chain vaping my mouth dry, lit a cig and the first one was heavan...after that each cig i smoke tasted more and more like that sick sinus infection smell and wet ashtray...i was on a long drive and i eventually lit a cig, took one puff and tossed it...went back to vape....when i got home i immediately went and got 12mg and it was what scratched my itch..

As someone whos wasted so much money on $10 packs, i actually have more fun vaping...even if i feel a bit douchey doing it. I like it more in the car now. Its sooooo much cheaper...Still get the urge to go outside and vape and do so..

Hoping in a month or so to quit the 12 and go to 6mg.

My lugs feel expansive. I wake up and my throat isnt irritated. I do better at active stuffs...

Just do yourself a favor...get a decent vape box that makes clouds, dont mess with disposable pens ect. Get 12mg, its going to be too strong for you but youll want it strong to break the cig habit, once you start to notice body improvements without nic withdrawal you'll never go back....i feel like i cant even handle one cigarette now which is what i want...im done for good thank god. Vaping is more fun, it tastes great, i watch daily my breathing improve and my senses return. I have more money. I no longer have to fear pissing off neighbors with open windows or violating overbearing anti-smoking laws. Theres no more trying to wipe the stink of smoke off my hands after a smoke then dealing with smoker breath. While i love going outside while taking a cig break i love that i dont have to leave comfort to get my nicotine in bad weather.

I wish i had done this years ago. Why didnt i do this years ago?

Just wanted to share my quick tips!

1- I tried vaping years ago when the hardware sucked. The new sub-ohm tanks are great and produce great vapor. Spend the money for a good setup and keep experimenting until you find what works for you. It's worth every penny for the right mod and tank.

2- You have to vape CONSTANTLY to avoid the tobacco urges. It seems that vaping effects take longer and you want to avoid the panic mode.

3- Always have extra hardware and juice. You will fail if you run out of battery or juice.

4- I WAS DOING IT WRONG! For the first 6 months, I wasn't sucking it the right way. Sounds weird I know. But it is not like smoking a cigarette so you have to get used to it. You need to hear the sound of the air going over the coils. Suck harder and it is less harsh actually.

5- Low nicotine taste better. So if you can afford it, vape low nic but more frequently if you are seeking flav
or.
