    Had to put on the brakes.

    Well here I am years later! I realize now I never OD'd on nic. Quitting analogs uncovered a lot of anxiety. Those times I thought I OD'd were panick attacks I'm pretty sure. I traded my e-cig stuff for Swedish snus a couple years ago and it's worked well for me (and yes I use the strong ones...

    Australian ban; Egar illegal

    I think it is quite common for people to partake in banned/illegal pleasures. Get in touch with your "inner criminal":thumb:

    Australian ban; Egar illegal

    The root of this has little to do with e-inhaling-devices. It's about liberty vs. safety. What is the Ben Franklin quote? Those who trade liberty for safety deserve neither. Or something like that. Unite against all government infringement on personal choice. That would be a much larger...

    Had to put on the brakes.

    Sanjp, I also had the benefits you listed. Too many variables to really know what got me. That is why I decided to start over from scratch. I think e-smoking is a great thing. Just wanted to share this experience with everyone as a warning. I don't want anyone else to go through any bad...

    Had to put on the brakes.

    dizziness bad headache cold sweat confusion blurred vision weakness There were three times I thought I was going to pass out but did not. These symptoms I believe also triggered panic attacks because I felt like I could not breath and had fear of impending doom. Basically felt like I was...

    Had to put on the brakes.

    I think it's complicated. Yes trying to stop cravings. Trying to get my fix. Trying to feel "normal". Trying to get that warm fuzzy feeling. Maybe other things as well like trying to get max vapor, getting real good at getting a nice big hit, having all these flavors to keep trying. Maybe...

    Had to put on the brakes.

    Well, after not smoking real ciggs for over a month, I am back on them. When I started vaping I was using 18mg juice and was able to cut back from 30+ a day to just a few. I was quite thrilled with that. So I started using 24mg and 36mg juice to quit analogues completely. Unfortunately I...

    new broke ... college student here!

    I would suggest going with a supplier that has a long and strong reputation. Read the reviews, if they have any. Also price is a consideration. The best would be a great proven reputation at a less expensive price. Lucky for you that option does exist. I cannot vouch for Liberate since I...

    This thread is awesome! Maybe they don't read the first post or maybe they can't make a new thread here, but it is funny to see how many people don't actually put the details in their profile:D Maybe it should be locked? Or maybe you gotta ask pretty pretty please?

    Why's everyone so in love with the Pen Style cart life???

    I have the same problems with my Janty classic. I think Trog is right, you have to wait between drags to let the atomizer fill back up. I like to take a lot of drags in a small time frame and it just doesn't seem to work out with my penstyle. My 901s are much better for this style of vaping.

    Cleaning 901 atomiser with alcohol without damaging paint?

    Seems a fairly common practice. I've done a few in alcohol. Not sure what to say about the paint. You will probably be replacing those parts soon anyways. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/2175-cleaning-atomizer.html

    So i've had an NPRO in my hands for about an hour.

    You might overheat your atomizer by covering one of the holes:( Be careful with that. Welcome to the forum:thumb:

    going great

    Good job! I'm right with you. Although I do not see myself quitting nicotine anytime soon. I'm still in shock I'm not smoking real ciggs.

    New, never smoked

    Jonathan, Like most have said, I would not start vaping for no reason. There is nothing attractive about it. Just a bunch of junkies with their pacifiers. Don't dance with the devil. The fact that you're even tempted is not good. Nic or not, don't be a fool.
