I don't know about liquids and such, but one of the things we are missing is...we used to care about helping people quit smoking now we just seem interested in pissing contests over gear and clouds.
I agree! It seems like the space is saturated with noise and not enough substance. If an outsider is looking into the Vape industry, where would they start? Where can that person find a purpose?
I couldn't agree more. The only atty Anthony Vapes recommends for MTL smoking is the Vapefly Nicolas.

Vapefly is a new company with only one US site that sells it so it is a pain to get coil replacements but looking at the Vapefly site, I do have to say the simplicity is a step in the right direction and as a smoker looking to switch to vape, I will buy it.
Finding the closest thing to a full flavored cigarette in an ejuice ejuice is even harder. Whole Tobacco Alkaloids are the closest thing to that while Naturally Extracted Tobacco is the closest taste wise. One professional reviewer compared a WTA (Tastemaker True) to the most popular NET (Black Note) favorably on taste.

As an archetypal stubborn smoker who loves to learn about new tech things and has time to yet never vaped, I am the closest thing to a perfect lab monkey to try out the closest thing to a smoking emulation setup I intend to buy around Black Friday: Smoant Battlestar, Vapefly Nicolas MTL atty, Samsung 30Q batteries, and Tastemaker True eliquid.
If this works, I might even think about selling them as a kit since shopping in four different places is necessary outside of China.
