    Things smokers say to vapers..

    "They aren't approved by the FDA and I heard they have antifreeze in them." while he puffs on his 'approved' cigarette. Hmmph. I had more of these conversations when I was first starting out. Now, I simply say that I've been off of cigarettes for 1.5 years and that gets their attention and I...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    Hi Phil, glad to "meet" you. Thank you for sharing with us. I've actually been doing some course work on bipolar and what you say about suicide rates is true. Keep up on those meds and keep on doing what you've been doing because obviously you are a very strong soul!

    Sex, lies and cartomizers...

    My cartos get clogged after about 2-3 days of heavy use (I vape only one flavor). I notice the draw getting tighter and tighter. I can usually get another day out of them if I run a paperclip up the center very carefully. The heating element actually becomes coated and builds up with gunk until...

    Driving while vaping

    I vape cartos while driving but have no issues putting a couple of extra drops in there when they run a bit dry. I do it by feel and never take my eyes off the road. Skillz!

    Why E-Cigs?

    No option for "I HAVE quit smoking." I'm not 'trying'. If you call 1.5 years without smoking 'trying' then maybe that would qualify. So I put "other"

    Two large Detroit hospital systems won't hire users of e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars or cigs

    They are privately owned so legally they can hire who they want. Doesn't mean I think its at all intelligent.

    I gotta ask...

    I was still enjoying and loving my analogs but desperately wanted to quit because my mom had/has terminal cancer and I couldn't bear the thought of my kids going through the same thing. I ordered an ecig with 4mg nicotine because I didn't know better. That first week, while I waiting for the...

    Took a few puffs from an analog

    Thats great! I'm a year and a half quit and the biggest factor to my success is the memory of how horrible the real cigarette tasted after I'd been vaping for a week. And the after-cigarette smell, it repels me even more now. I don't want to be one of 'those' people who become so anti-smoking...

    Weird things when you quit smoking

    Greasier skin! I was hoping that would go away but after 1.5 years I think I'm stuck with it. And my nails are long and healthy for the first time in my life.

    Is everyone addicted to sugar? Can I get some "flavor" that isn't sugar-laden?

    I don't like sweet or strong flavors either. Took me a while to find something I could tolerate long term, so you are not alone! Best advice I can give is to try a lot of samples.

    E-Liquid Innovation to change entire e-cig industry!

    Not sure where the market would be for this. I also don't think the anti-smoke groups think that way. Granted, I dont know HOW they think (or if they do).

    A View from the UK

    Good article. I'm lukewarm on the response section. We need a CASAA rep to post there.

    Vapor4Life samples - YUCK!

    Their Cinnamon Roll is my every day-all day vape for the past 10+ months. Love. Has enough of a TH to make me happy but not overly sweet or cloying. I don't tend to like strong flavors though.

    Its been a long long time since I posted here. How is everybody? Still vaping away and still quit! I glanced at the 'forum-which-shall-not-be-named'...big sigh.

    I am going to echo (and strongly) the advice of the posters just previous to me. 1. increase to AT LEAST 24mg. You are absorbing nicotine at 50-90% less efficiency than a cigarette. Don't be afraid to bump it up to 36mg. In addition, the uptake is slower in getting to your neuroreceptors. 2...

    What surprised you the most in switching from smoking to vaping?

    -How I hated the taste of cigarettes within 3 days and how I couldn't stop tasting/smelling the smoke on myself when I had just one a day that first week. I was completely done with cigarettes after that week (almost 1.5 years ago!). -How I can smell a smoker (sans lit cig) from across a large...
