    Kicked the nicotine..

    This sounded aggressive when I read it back, not my intention at all, apologies if it came across as so. It's a funny thing, to me. I'm hopelessly addicted to caffeine, nicotine, work, ECF... :D It's worth trying though, I'd rather choose to vape nic on my terms than just vape as I feel I...

    Vape stores and the over 30 crowd

    Most smaller shops I've come across know a hell of a lot more than me, so far. The "brand" stores like VIP not so much. This is just my experience in the area I live. I tend to buy online, but the MIL is impatient...

    Kicked the nicotine..

    meh, not shaming at all mate - seriously I literally just posted this to let folks know that the step down didn't hurt me at all. I'm not suggesting for a second that everyone should. It's on your terms. Maybe should have made that clearer. I'm not suggesting everyone should drop down to zero...

    Vape stores and the over 30 crowd

    Walked into a VIP store with the mother in law the other day for a new battery (Ego). He mocked her, I drew my SVD with a Kayfun out the pocket and vaped, passed it to her, she vaped, he literally gulped. She walked out laughing. He was disrespectful, and I feared for his life (I do not mess...

    E-cigarette forums are booming, but they’re doomed

    This forum saved mine, my other half has now quit, as has her mother - my sister, and at least 10 work colleagues, all from me regurgitating facts from here, advice from here, and generally "knowing my stuff" (I'm a noob, but experienced compared to them!) Vaping.com sounds interesting too...

    Kicked the nicotine..

    Yep, agree. I honestly never thought I'd "get over the addiction". I'm starting to wonder what it was I was actually addicted to. Nicotine is nice, it makes me feel relaxed, but do I need it? Not today. Weird. I guess it's maybe a psychological thing too. Tomorrow I'll probably monster my way...

    Kicked the nicotine..

    Pretty random post. I know. I started vaping 24mg liquids in November of 2013. I dropped to 18 quickly, felt sick from chain vaping (hey, vaping tastes awesome compared to "duty free" hand rolled dried up camel crap called Drum (not even the real deal...) Started DIY, went from 18 quickly...

    For once, a positive article in the Daily Mail

    Never thought I'd see the day the DM would write such a positive report on E-Cigs. All steps in the right direction though! A few non smokers talked to me today about the proposed ban in Wales and they all thought it was simply ridiculous. I'll add that two of these people hate cigarettes...

    E-cigarette forums are booming, but they’re doomed

    I found the article pretty insulting - "vape nerds" gets thrown about. Sounds like, from what you have said SmokeyJoe that a lot was taken out of context also. Interesting read, however. If anything, whoever reads it who doesn't know about ECF may sign up. 1.5 MILLION hits per month. Now that...

    Is it me or??

    Yeah, good recommendations there - both the "diluting" the higher strength nicotine with a PG/VG liquid (to save throwing it out) and also having a "break in case of emergency" tank on hand with a high concentration of nicotine for the weak moments. Very credible advice and might help a lot of...

    Trying to quit analogs... Again.

    Ding ding, round 2. Welcome back. You did it before, you can do it again, but with far more shinier gear! :D You will do it, and we will help you along if you get any weak moments. :D

    What did you start with?

    E-Lites (cig lookalikes) - migrated to VIP's brand (cig lookalikes) and migrated to a basic ego kit with a CE4 about a year after. Realized that my Ego kit was the tip of the iceberg after finding ECF. Now on a variable watt/volt mod with various toppers (mainly sticking to pro tanks and...

    Is it me or??

    Everyone is different I guess - I still have weak moments where I really want a smoke. I just vape harder when this happens. I find using a variable voltage/wattage device can help with "oh crap" moments. I usually vape around 8 watts but upping this to 11 watts gets me through some bad...

    The post mortem!

    Ah. My comment on the unhappy dude in the pic is still valid. pmsl. I'll check out the actual point of the thread... (yawn).......bed time, maybe tomorrow!

    The post mortem!

    Looks like he needs the toilet in the middle of a mosh pit, and they are about 4 miles away to the field on the left. I'd look like that too, I reckon :)

    Bad news story on vaping

    Just watched it. Not enough products tested for me, personally. I wonder what the results would have been comparing the two e-cigs used here with actual cigarette smoke. That would have been an interesting one. I feel fairly confident even if vaping is not completely safe, then it's far safer...

    Heart Attack risk

    hmm, cracked open the blood pressure monitor (our son has kidney issues and we need one on hand to check his BP regularly) I knew I had high blood pressure whilst smoking. After four months of vaping I'm still reading 146/91 left arm and 137/90 right arm. Think I may need to pay a trip to the...

    How to deal with this ?

    We have all felt this at some point. Today, I had the brother in law over who needs to move in due to agro with his significant other. Had his kids in tow. He was screaming at her on the phone, kids were all upset, I'm rushing around making cups of tea and my other half rolls a ciggie. Talk...

    Vamo V5 the best vw ecig vaporizer you can get for under $50

    I've ordered a Innokin SVD, two more 18650 batteries, a few more iclears (going to give the 30b a whirl) and another nitecore i4 charger today strangely enough. Had the Vamo roughly four months now (ish) and it's working like a champ, but you know when you get that feeling it's going to go...
