    Why Choose FSUSA?

    Just received my first order and love it! RY4 is yummy and the shipping speed was top notch (especially considering I made my order on Christmas Eve). Love that you are a "onestop" shop. I was able to pick up cartos, juice, and misc all at the same place. I'll use one of my kids words to...

    no nic? bad ejuice?

    Yeah I did that at first too. It must taste like a Marlboro light! About a week after I took the plunge and JUST vaped, I came to realize that Marlboro lights actually tasted like dirty socks haha.

    no nic? bad ejuice?

    Well it is a known issue. The absorption rate is different. With a cigarette, your nicotine receptors are getting it almost immediately. With vaping it takes around 15, 20 minutes. I don't know if you've used nic patches before, but I have. I used them for a week. Obviously, I was getting...

    your brain on nicotine

    That's exactly the point I was trying to make. A lot of doctors reach for their prescription pads because it's quicker and easier, but, as you pointed out; it's a temporary fix.

    your brain on nicotine

    My insurance co. calls it behavioral health as well. I think it's accurate because that's all many (not all) docs concern themselves with. If the behavior is controlled, you're all better. The high blood sugar, morbid obesity, and ticks are just "side effects". Yeah, I've been burned by lazy...

    your brain on nicotine

    This is something I noticed too. It wasn't depression per se, but more like a lingering deep disappointment. It did eventually go away after 2 weeks of strictly ecig use. I had to force myself to just stick with it and eventually I was fine. Has anyone seen the commercial for the medication...

    your brain on nicotine

    Yep, it's amazing the "cures" they try to sell us and nicotine sits unstudied. Amazing how powerful political correctness can be, even in scientific circles.

    your brain on nicotine

    I know this is in no way a "scientific statement", but I've found nicotine to be beneficial in mental illnesses beyond just schizophrenia. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I in my early twenties which required a hospital stay to even out meds. I was amazed how many of us "crazies" smoked...

    Guilt-free for Christmas

    LOL so true. What's funny is I'm always getting some new juice or something in the mail, yet I'm STILL not spending what I did before on smokes. I had a cold last week....the end. You know what I'm saying. No bronchitis, no sinus infection, no ear infection. I was able to just have a cold like...

    How much Nicotine?

    This is exactly what I did and glad I did it that way. There are so many new things to adjust to in that first week, no way did I want to deal with nicotine cravings too LOL

    Experience

    I saw that thread...no way would I attempt it. Not because the advice came from someone with less than X amount of posts, but because I don't know enough about electronics or lithium batteries and like my house, oh and living. Glad you stepped in, but I'd hope people would know better. I know...

    How much liquid do you go through in a day?

    3 or 4ml @10mg or 6mg (night)...I was a light smoker before and find that as often as I like to vape anything higher than around 12 make me feel yuck. I use a LR carto that eats juice though, too.

    Second Day Was Harder Than The First. (Oddly?)

    Your description of a "nostalgia" feeling is spot on. I've had a hard time describing that when I talk about my first week off smokes completely. It was almost like a sadness to let it go. You know those commercials where people are learning to drive, walk, etc without a cigarette? They're...

    Just saw The Tourist...Awful movie, but prompted me to get back in the game

    I think it would matter how much you vape. The two carto system works for me, but I think it's because I spend the majority of my day in a classroom where I'm not using it constantly. At home I'm still only topping it off every 4,5 hours or so. I know there are larger cartomizer set ups for the...

    Experience

    Posting threads and responses is kind've the point of an online forum isn't it? If new people can't post their experiences and can only read what more experienced people have to say, that would make this website the same as the hundred blogs on the same subject. Personally, I feel like I am...

    Looking for that ultimate nicotine fix?

    No disrespect intended for DIYers. It's something I intend to look into eventually. I just found the descriptions funny. Reminds me of the drug commercials with the long list of weird side affects (chantix anyone?).

    Looking for that ultimate nicotine fix?

    Ditto. I don't understand this thread...I think I'm hearing that you can make your own ejuice that will put you in the bathroom, give you leg cramps, and possibly overdose you. Couldn't I just vape some tabasco sauce and call it good? No wonder the FDA wants to regulate us.
