One of the best things about switching to vaping from smoking is the huge amount of e-liquid flavors that you can choose from. It’s likely that your e-cigarette or vaporizer kit already came with a number of e-juices included, however, many new vapers like to get out there and see what else is available when it comes to different tastes and flavors. But with so many different flavors, flavor combinations and other factors to consider when it comes to selecting the perfect e-liquid for you, it can quickly become a rather tricky decision to make.

Many people don’t want to risk purchasing an e-liquid that they are unfamiliar with, as they don’t want to spend money on something that might not be used. However, when it comes to picking out your first e-liquid, chances are that you won’t have tried many of them before. So, we’ve put together some top tips to help you select an e-liquid that you’ll love vaping with.

Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” fails to get the 14-year-old series back on track. While it is an improvement over the previous sequel, “On Stranger Tides,” directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg succumb to many of the same problems found in that film. For starters, the character of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is no longer the charming antihero he once was – straddling the line between good and evil – but rather a drunken pirate who wanders aimlessly through set pieces.

Unlike Gore Verbinski’s massive sequels, the action sequences aren’t enough to cut it here. They’re surprisingly infrequent over the course of Sparrow’s search for the legendary Trident of Poseidon. Although screenwriter Jeff Nathanson attempts to return the franchise to the simplicity of the first movie, it lacks the same energy, and that’s a problem that begins and ends with Jack Sparrow, a character who had something driving him in the 2003 original. He used to have a personal motivation and real conflicts, but now he just drinks a lot, keeps making the same old jokes and finds his way out of sticky situations just as you’d expect him to. He’s lost his unpredictability.

This time he’s on the run from Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), a performance and visual effect that’s never quite convincing. In his younger years, Jack Sparrow helped turn the pirate killer and his crew into ghosts, and now that Salazar has escaped the Devil’s Triangle where he was imprisoned, he goes hunting for the man who not only damned him but is the only one who can save him. Nobody knows where Sparrow is, including Will Turner’s son Henry (Brenton Thwaites) and an astronomer accused of witchcraft named Carina (Kaya Scodelario). Sadly, Henry and Carina aren’t particularly lively additions to the cast, as they pale in comparison to the colorful supporting characters this series once featured, such as Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush). Sparrow’s old foe is still present and has a strong payoff here, but it’s not enough to bring much heart and soul to the movie.

You don’t care about diagnosing a Cover 2, and neither do I, so when I spoke to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees earlier this week, I asked for some real insight.

It was Drew’s 21st interview of the morning, but we got him to light up like a Christmas tree once he told us all about Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS) and why he’s working with The Heat Factor to raise awareness as we enter summer.

Drew isn’t just some football-throwing robot that runs on a typical gas/oxygen mixture; he’s a man with experiences and cool stories, just like you.

In the following video, Drew talks about killing a crocodile with a knife while hanging with Bear Grylls, how far he can throw a ball left-handed, and what it was like chatting with Dan Patrick in the time slot before us.
