Vaping has been a part of my life for some years now. Like most others, I began with curiosity and ended up sampling a broad range of devices and flavors.
As the process went along, I took my share of hits, the products that became my daily mates, and an equal share of misses that failed to impress.
Today, I wish to share that experience with you.
I can still recall the day I first used a vape. It was as if I entered a world. Initially, I felt overwhelmed with options, varying pods, disposables, strengths, and flavors.
However, curiosity got the best of me, and gradually I began to try various brands.
Some served me just fine for my kind of living, while others failed to meet my standards. That trial-and-error experiment became part of the excitement.
One of my earliest “wow” experiences was when I tested the Elf Bar 10000 Puffs.
The concept of a disposable that lasts for that long was almost unimaginable to me back then. I was accustomed to smaller disposables that could hardly last the weekend.
Elf Bar was unique. It provided a consistent taste, and I did not have to worry about it running out in the middle of a hectic day.
Its battery also performed well beyond expectations. The size made it a bit less subtle than I preferred. Having it in my pocket wasn’t always comfortable.
Then, after some time, I needed something more sustainable. That is when I started using the Myle V5 Meta Pods.
Initially, I was uncertain if I would enjoy them. Refillable pods seemed like an added chore as opposed to using disposables.
However, once I adapted, I saw just how convenient and simple they were.
The Myle V5 Meta Pods provided me with cleaner flavors and a smoother draw. I also appreciated that I could easily swap out pods, based on whatever I felt like at the moment.
Tobacco’s in the mornings, and fruit flavor in the evenings. It felt personalizable in a way disposables never did.
Of course, the cost was having to recharge the device. I forgot a couple of times and ended up with a dead vape in the middle of a coffee break.
That was certainly a “miss” experience for me.
Trying out various vape brands taught me a couple of useful lessons:
No product is ideal for every occasion. There are times when I crave the ease of a disposable, such as the Elf Bar 10000 Puffs.
Others, when I appreciate the consistency of Myle Meta Pods.
Flavor is more important than I realized. A product may have the greatest appearance on earth, but without flavor that pops, I’ll soon move on.
If I had to summarize it:
Some products were impressive with their innovation, but others convinced me that all products are hyped for nothing.
You may discover your “hit” in something outside of the norm. In my experience, the Elf Bar 10000 Puffs and Myle V5 Meta Pods are the duo that will always bring me back.
Ultimately, vaping isn’t about choosing the nicotine. It’s about discovering an experience that suits you. And the process of discovery is part of the enjoyment.
