Vaping has ruined me!!

[Antebellum]

For years I have been known to many as the ultimate pepper eater. I've had them all, Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, African Birdseye, Madame Jeanette, and even Jamaican hot peppers.

But earlier when I was out with some friends at our favorite Mexican restaurant, I was defeated... by a mere Cayenne pepper!!! How degrading! I almost choked I had to drink some water so fast. After public humiliation and loss of my title... I can only blame it on vaping! My vastly improved taste buds are just not as coated over with analog crud as they used to be, and I've only been vaping a week!!! In a year I won't even be able to handle a jalapeno without dashing for something to drink.

This was easily in the top 10 most embarrassing moments of my life...

Damn you e-cigs, damn you and all your benefits.

Rats. Well, I have to say that I resemble this posting! A few years ago I started growing hot peppers and making home-grown pepper sauce. This was going great guns, so I planted hotter and hotter. This year I grew cowhorns, jalapenos, giant jalapenos, Hungarian wax (hot banana), habaneros, chilles, pimenta, and tobasco.

Then I switched to vaping. Recently I've been wondering who in their right mind actually has a need for habaneros. Nibbling a tiny corner of an orange one nearly got me.

And I have some evil red stuff from the tobascos aging in the fridge. Boiling a batch of that (in a ceramic-lined pot) fumigated the entire house and my nephew tells me he's still suffering. (I think it's his imagination, as that was about a month ago.)

I hate to think that I'm turning into a pepper whimp. What about my following? (All those folks expecting pepper sauce this Christmas.)

Luckily I haven't run into this... I've been off analogs for a little more than a month and I still love my spicy foods. I do have to say that now I actually taste the pepper more than just the heat I used to feel. However, if it came down to it, I'd rather be losing my tolerance for peppers than choking down the smokes.

I still love a good vindaloo or phal and have been off tobacco for over a year now. Grew a few chillis this year (an unnamed but productive Thai Dragon type, Wenk's Yellow Hots and Nigel's Outdoor) and have been eating them with relish! Yes, you can taste the flavour more - but the heat is always welcome.

I wish people would double think their titles. If you just browsed ( yes, that's not a good idea) this forum you would probably not go with the e cig because of all the negative titles. I mean "vaping has ruined me" makes this thing look like a deadly product. You sort of made a good thing (regaining your taste buds) sound like a disaster

If you read the first post you'd obviously know I regard this as a good thing too. Not sure what your trying to gain here, this being your first post, but it's called creativity. The title obviously worked on you, you clicked it didn't you?

And who goes to a forum and only reads the titles without looking into the story?

I will second this. The title made me read and the story made me laugh.

This is a friendly forum, and I'm sure that the title was deliberately worded that way to create a laugh. You might want to hang fire a bit on critical comments until you've got the feel of the place. OK?

"vaping has ruined me" concerned me very much when I saw it. Now that I have read the thread, I am happy.
Having said that, my standard tea on a friday is a phall. A madrass or a tikka if Im not feeling well.
I would be happy to experience a vindaloo for the ass kicker it is supposed to be.
