Indiana eSmokers/Vapers

Hey Hoosiers!!

I'm 2 hours southwest of Indy in a burg where Red Skelton was born.

Hum... Remember Red??

LOL Yeah, the damn crows are annoying out here. I grew up here but ended up in NYC, then had to come back. I just get tired of driving an hour to find civilization!

Isn't that crazy? Hoosiers are notorious for spending the entire first half of their existence getting out of here and then realizing once they are out... it isn't so bad!

Mamu - I have heard of Red... seen a few skits... but not very versed in his act.

I live in Gary, IN. I'm a new vaper, and new to this forum, beginning my search of the product that's right for me. So far, I have the 007 e-cigar. I like it, having nothing to compare it to. I figure I'll use it for at least two weeks (my break even point dollar wise as compared to analogs at 25% analog usage) and then try a different e-cigar(ette) model. I can say that it's working. I've only had it for 3 days I've only smoked a quarter of the amount of analogs I'm used to. I still like the actual analog smoke, but going down 75% without even thinking about it is not bad! However, in only 3 days, I'm getting more and more used to the electronic version and I can truly see myself using it exclusively to "smoke". Wish I had known about this technology last year!

Welcome to the forum 2WYCE. There are lots of great people here who can answer tons of questions for you... from hardware to taste to issues.

I have gone full ecig... to some tobacco cigs... to all ecig... to some tobacco cigs. As long as you are happy with what you are doing for yourself... that is all that matters.

Many believe that the ecig has helped them to quit... IMHO this is not the case for me... just an alternative. However, whatever works for you is what you should be concerned with. That's the beauty of the ecig/PV... it is YOUR CHOICE!

Again... welcome and hope you are getting ready for that cold wind off of the lake because down here in Indy... we can certainly feel it today and we are pretty far away!!!

Cheers!

Thanks Lacey,

Taste is probably my first aspect of vaping that I need to learn more about. I smoke the Mild variety Black & Mild cigars, and it's the only thing I like to smoke. Don't like the other flavors of cigars very much (even from the same brand), and don't like cigarettes. So if I can find something that tastes similar to the pipe tobacco they use, I'll be good, even if I have a real one once in a while. But I love the convienience of pulling it out of my pocket, puffing it a few times, then putting it back in my pocket. I'm already sold on that aspect!

And so begins my search...

Thanks again!

Find Tropical Bob. HUGE fan of everything tobacco and while taste is subjective... he could definitely point you in the right direction. You can find him here mostly: Smokeless tobacco - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

It is funny - same here. Born and raised in southern Indiana and couldn't wait to get out. Now hubby and I are back home in Indiana and pretty much are here to stay.

Red Skelton was very much loved not only for his vaudeville acts and the Red Skelton show (my favorite is Clem Kadiddlehopper), but he is also known for his very kind and gentle ways.

OMG that's so trippy! It DID get eliminated from schools because of those words!

My friends daughter learned the "Pledge" and they were taught it as a poem. A poem! Not as the "Pledge of Allegiance" but as a poem... like you would teach any other poem to a class. It was a weeks lesson and then done. My first thought was WTH? I remember every Monday morning standing up in grade school and that was ONLY 20 years ago!

I have been one heck of a sappy patriot lately. It is liberating (and sucky) when your eyes finally open up to the what's going on.

That was great... thank you for sharing. Now that I see him... My grandpa watched him A LOT.

Me too Lacey. Things in the wind nowadays are not my values either. It's sad for what holds with this next generation and what their values will be because of all that's taking place now.
