    What is going on !?!

    elfstone nailed it, I think. I've been fiddling around with disposable e-cigs for a few weeks and recently got a KGO and a few different juices...but I'm still smoking, too. However, at this point I'm looking at it as harm reduction, and quitting as a process. Harm reduction because I am...

    How many have you converted ?

    I'm also brand new at this...so far nobody but I've sure planted a few seeds! I've told quite a few people about vaping; next Sunday I'm going to an Easter party and of course I'll bring my new toy along. :) This afternoon I chatted with my neighbor, who has been talking about quitting...

    My experience with super minis

    I think this post deserves a bump for being an iconoclast. :)

    A bit confused about e-liquidl - help? Also want sampler recommendations.

    Too funny! Juice is cheaper, yay. I found there's a couple of B&M stores about an hour away that carry a big selection of liquids...I may take a little drive when I have time. So far I like each one I've tried although the Red Bull flavor is a bit strange. But hey it's got nicotine so I'm OK...

    Help - another newbie in distress

    knitwit, I'm still too new at this to answer your questions. I think every person on this forum found this whole thing quite confusing at first! But one thing that really helped me understand what people were talking about was to go on YouTube and watch videos about assembling, using...

    A bit confused about e-liquidl - help? Also want sampler recommendations.

    I've got a drawer set aside for my vaping stuff and I can't wait to get it all filled up with different flavored bottles. Sort of like having a closet full of cute shoes, ha. Thanks for all the recommendations and advice you guys!

    A bit confused about e-liquidl - help? Also want sampler recommendations.

    Thank you elfstone! That helps. Maybe I'm overthinking a bit. :) I actually don't care about the amount of vapor, or even if there is vapor...at this point I want TH first and taste second. I'm too much of a newbie to "get" nuances in flavor yet. All I know so far is the KGO delivers a...

    A bit confused about e-liquidl - help? Also want sampler recommendations.

    OK so I got a KGO and three types of juice from hoosier - great communication and fast shipping BTW - and I'm a little confused, still, about the different types of e-liquid. What I bought was 24 mg 60/40 (caramel something, Red Bull, pineapple) but I'm having a hard time getting clear on the...

    Waiting for the postie....

    I used to live in a house with a front-door mail slot (they do it some places here too) but one of my dogs thought it was an unwarranted intrusion and shredded everything that came through the slot. :( Which was fine for junk mail but would not be at all fine for vaping supplies and other fun...

    How were you introduced to vaping?

    About a year and a half ago I noticed my local smoke shop carried some e-cigs....I came home, googled, found this forum, thought it seemed like an interesting notion and them promptly forgot all about it. :blush: A few weeks ago I had a potentially scary chest x-ray (which turned out to be...

    Ive made my decision but have a few concerns

    Welcome to ECF! I'm a newbie too, started earlier this week on disposables and just ordered my first "real" e-cig set up today after spending billionty-seven hours reading and researching. The "Forum Supplers" tab at the top of the page is a good place to start for suppliers. I've spent a lot of...

    A concern on weight gain

    Im a newbie to vaping but a serial analog quitter...and I really think that for some people, they gain weight simply because they think it's inevitable! It's not. I am 54 and the last two times I quit smoking I actually lost a few pounds each time. My thinking was, well I want to smoke after...

    Vaping while driving

    Really, some e-cig batteries are triggered by the suction from an open window when driving? I never would have thought that. I'm brand new, only on day three, using disposable e-cigs. But one of the advantages, I was thinking, was being able to "smoke" (vape) while driving on the highway...

    Volcano Inferno e-cig - good choice for newbie?

    Oh wow...I'm so glad I asked. I also have the eGo and KGO bookmarked...I didn't realise they were the same as the Inferno, basically. Back to the drawing board. You guys rock!

    Volcano Inferno e-cig - good choice for newbie?

    My local smoke shop only carries low-quality e-cigs (Trio 51, etc) so much as I'd like to give him the business it looks like I'll be ordering online. So far my only e-cig experience is with disposables which work fine as a temporary substitute, but I've been getting so much information on this...

    A scary lung x-ray got me here

    Last night I did something that would have been unimaginable to me just a few days ago. I had a dog class, two hours long and an hour round-trip drive. I left the house without cigarettes or lighter, just my e-cig. :2cool: And I wasn't the least bit twitchy about it! Even after I got home, I...

    Sore throat!

    I'm new to vaping but a serial analog-quitter. Every time I quit smoking I get a sore, scratchy throat and cough...I don't think it's very uncommon. Congrats on not smoking the stinky sticks!

    Am I the only newb becoming obsessed?

    You people are scaring me LOL! I'm only on day two of part-time vaping and I've already spent a ridiculous amount of time on this forum...I'm not working today so I really NEED to tear myself away! Looks like I'll be switching from one addiction to another, ha.

    A scary lung x-ray got me here

    Thanks bobthesalesclerk. :) Actually my disposable only cost $6.99, says up to 800 puffs which I assume is sales hyperbole. Your stage 1 vaping description is exactly me, that's too funny! I'm getting myself edumacated on all the different choices here. It'll take me a while to get up to...
