15 year veteran looking to quit... uh... analogs as you call them

[The Tempest]

Got my order from cignot.com today. Found out based on the shipment tracking that they are right here in Chicago so it only took 2 days after my order to get it. Ended up going with the Joye 510 Deluxe Kit.

(2) Joye 510 Manual batteries
(2) Atomizers
(2) Empty Carts
(1) Charger
(1) PCC
(5) Prefilled Menthol Carts (High)
(1) Medium Sized Bottle of VG Menthol (26mg)
(1) Small Bottle EcoPure VG Menthol (25mg)

Also ordered:
(5) Prefilled Menthol Carts (High)
(3) Blank Carts with Pyramid Teabag

All that for $75. According to some calculators it should pay for itself in 10 days. Sweet!!!

And so far I LOVE it. Just need to figure out how to get some tobacco flavor in with the menthol flavor. I know I cant really do that for the prefilled carts at least till I refill them. Anyone know of how much of the tobacco flavored juice to mix with the menthol flavored juice? (50/50 60/40 ???)

Haved you vaped the 510 yet? I'm so jealous...I'm waiting on one to come in. I wouldn't worry about trying to make a tobacco/menthol flavor just yet. Try out the menthol alone. It turns out after 15 years of smoking Marlboro Lights (and thinking I liked the flavor) that they are horrible and vile. I learned this after vaping for a whole day and then smoking analogs the whole next day (after running out of juice). The funny thing is that they never tasted more horrible in my life. Never try to replicate your analog flavor with vaping. You might end up liking root and tooty fresh and fruity for all you know (not sure if that's a real flavor, but you get the point).

I think they're based in Tulsa, OK. They ARE fast. Did you, by any chance, hit the "right" level of nicotine on your first order? If so, that's awesome!

... Anyone know of how much of the tobacco flavored juice to mix with the menthol flavored juice? (50/50 60/40 ???)

Generally, pre-mixed menthol juices are meant to be vaped as-is. If you're saying that you've tried them and want more tobacco/less menthol flavor, then it's pretty much up to you how to mix them. Start with a small amount of 50/50, then adjust up or down as you see fit. Try to keep up with the ratio you like, so you'll know next time.

Also, you can save the juice in the pre-filled carts. Just pull out the filling with tweezers, drop them into a syringe, put the plunger in and squeeze the stuff out into a small bottle. If you don't have a syringe, you could probably work something out with a small plastic baggie with a hole in one corner. They will be mostly dry, and unused, so you could probably just replace and refill them without doing the whole washing/drying thing. I'm not sure if it would be worth sweating just for 5 carts, but I hate to waste juice.

I haven't tried the tobacco flavor from Cignot, but Geoff at Tasty Vaper makes his own tobacco flavor from 0 to 46 mg., and it's darn good. You have to spring for a 1 oz. bottle, though: He does not do samples, but he does have great prices and great juice.

This doesn't sound good, but adding a touch of vanilla juice to your menthol is pretty awesome. Try some at about 15 percent or so. Even if you don't like it, you'll probably find a use for vanilla down the road.

So far it's been great. Toasted one of the prefilled already (been vaping for about almost 7 hours)... finally dead.

The nicotine level feels pretty good. Still wanted an analog here and there but I just decided to take another puff and then I was better. Although I still have half a pack and unfortunately at $7.50 a pack I'm not going to waste it. I am probably going to save a few and find a time to sit down with a nice alcoholic beverage of choice and enjoy probably the last cigarettes I will ever have.

Again I think the menthol flavor is great... clean, crisp... definitely menthol. I just prefer something a little smokier and heavier. Hopefully I can order some tobacco flavor somewhere soon and try out a mix. Not quite sure what to do with the completely empty carts that came with the 510s as they dont even have any filler material.

I would suggest the buy and sell part of the forums, I seen some good deals. Might look at a 510 like they said for the hit but they say a 901 is the best for flavor

Couple of things... use them to drip..thats where you drip about 2 drops of juice right onto the bridge and vape that without a filled cart..

or...
Put some filler in them...they come that way to protect the atomizers..but if you look up cart mods on here there are suggestions to tweak the performance of the carts...like replacing the polyfill with pyramid tea bags or blue aquarium foam...then you have 2 more fillable carts

Joye510 Cignot.com agreed. If it wasn't for those ladies over there. I would still be smoking, I heart them! Did you clean out your automizer and prime it good? Also there are a ton of ejuices out there. You gotta find what you need and what feeds your urge! Best wishes to you on your journey!!
