Lungs, Emphysema and breathing.

Samysam13, you mentioned that your vape often tastes like metal, and I find the same thing happening. Since I don't think I require nicotine, I'm making a lot of my own juice. I've found that the Lorann's flavors taste a little metallic, so I'm using Capella's now (in California), which is wonderful. Their flavors are so true to the real thing, whatever flavors they claim to be. I love their Pralines and Cream, and their Graham Crackers is a close second.

I find myself rotating throughout the day between the Mint I get from Rocky Mountain Vapor, and a sweet non-harsh vape, my own no-nic Pralines and Cream, which I make with about 4ml of VG, 8 drops of Everclear (pure alcohol) (or Vodka, or distilled water), and 10 or 15 drops of Capella's Pralines and Cream.

I have a cold or flu right now so the Mint is too harsh for now, so I'm vaping the sweeter, less harsh stuff.

As for the juices we can get online, the tastiest I've had is Nhaler's Pear Lung, because its pear taste is not weak, like a lot of juices I find, but very strong, better than his regular Pear juice.

I'll never stop searching for my favorite flavor of all, which looks impossible right now. It was whatever I vaped in the Vanilla and Traditional carts of my first PV, the Njoy (Npro). All I can say is it tastes like there is Honey in there somewhere. The carts smell like RY4, which I do not like at all, but the taste at the mouthpiece is sweet, like Honey mixed with something else (still a mystery to me). Njoy does not sell their liquid, and their carts are too expensive to buy all the time, hence my search to find out if someone else makes a similar juice flavor. If I ever find it, it will be my all-day vape for sure.

I hope you can find a good juice you really like too, something that just far exceeds the norm.

Started Vaping the minute i stoped analogs, Ive been smoking for 15 years straight never took a break or quit. Its been 3 days and I havent had the urge to pick up a analog. I go to the gym 6 times a week for the past year and since I started vaping and not smoking, i can run an extra 2 miles on the treadmill no problem. My sinus are clear and i wake up in the morning feeling fresh and less sluggish compared to when i was on analogs.

CONGRATULATIONS, frontosa! You've made the right decision! Now the real fun starts.

thewomanfolk, Thanks! i cant wait. seems like the better choice for me.
Its just strange that when i talk to my brother-in-law who is a nursing student and his friend who is a respiratory therapist, they give me nothing but negative comments about my decision to vaperize. They said, vaporzing is bad, really bad, even more so than smoking, and that it contains anifreeze and other various chemicals im not aware of. They think i should give the patch a try rather than the e cig. I told them I heard far too many successful stories here on this fourm especailly ones from 50+ year smokers, and those are the stories i based my decisions off, people who actually went through it first hand, not some nursing student who dosent smoke. Should i believe them, or should i tell them to do there real research and stop listening to what there hospitals and the FDA are feeding them?

Everyone is different. Ecigs are successful for some but not all.

In my personal experience, my lungs felt as good as when i quit smoking cold turkey a few yrs ago (now using the ecig as a sub).

Def quit or cut down on smoking though and see a doctor just to be safe.

I smoked a packe to a pack and a half for 47 years. I have been trying to quit for a few years, unsuccessfully of course. I tried the patches, gum, lozenges, and Chantix, all to no avail.

I got my Tecc 510 on Oct. 7th, and began vaping right away, and I haven't had a cigarette since. My goal with the pv was to cut down to a point where I could just quit all together, but so far, no analogs at all.

just-a-nobody, if your avatar is how cute a person looks after 47 years of smoking, maybe we should all start smoking again. LOL Your avatar is just plain adorable!

Hey, I don't know if this helps, but there's an herb that's real good for breaking up mucus called Mullein Leaf... I used it in my college days when I attempted to quit a couple of times... it does a great job of thinning the mucus, actually... I smoked it and used it as a chew... it worked both ways...

Well, it just so happens it's one of the ingredients in nHaler's Lung Juice... I haven't tried it yet, but I should be ordering some next week... assuming vaping is my "new thing"...

Just some FYI...
