    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    Much less $4.00 a carton which I seem to recall paying for my first. Probably a few minutes after I got my drivers license to prove I was over 16. :laugh: Looking at that thread, I agree: the tone seems a bit unhelpful.

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    I'm kind of the same about flavors. I wasn't quite as consistently brand loyal as you, as I did a few brand switches lasting some years over 40+ (and counting, but barely...) years of smoking, generally gravitating back to good old Marlboros. So with vaping, even as I played around with a pretty...

    flavorless

    I vape unflavored 100% PG usually at 24mg much of the day (stealth mode...). Even with all-PG, I do notice some sweetness sometimes, but not objectionably. As for the pepperiness, I find it more of a sensation than a taste, and I do like it. For about a year I was consistently using 36mg. Liked...

    California -- SB 648 would ban the use of e-cigarettes wherever smoking is banned

    Nicely put, sherid! I was looking at the huge comment trail on NPR's article on the Starbucks ban. I didn't see any mention of e-cigs among the comments, but what I did see was really overwhelming anti-smoker vitriol! Makes me think Starbucks' clamping down is a P.R. move to impress potential...

    Can you taste nicotine in your ejuice???

    Exactly. Very similar to the taste/feel of Nicorette, but not as easily perceived when smoking a cigarette (because manufacturers do something to the tobacco to mask it, it is said). To me, it has become part of the pleasure of vaping and probably why I stick to medium-high mg levels (18-24).

    Having trouble with leaking

    I use the Kanger T2 exclusively lately, have tried Vision clearos (although not the Stardust), but haven't used a Vivi Nova at all. I could not make the Visions NOT leak and stashed them in the back of the drawer for emergencies. I think my T2s only leak when I fill beyond the point where the...

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    I had a couple of neighboring molars pulled on Friday and decided to take seriously the advice not to smoke (although certainly not for the full week the office handout recommended...). I think if I had asked I would have been told not to vape either, so I didn't ask and pretty much chain-vaped...

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    Well, to put a more positive light on your progress, notice that you are actually able to go to bed knowing that you have just a few cigarettes in your pack. Used to be, I'd consider myself running out when I was down to two packs in the carton. :)

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    I guess all of us would be better off if we could just find that doctor. Kind of like my looking for a French cardiologist to ensure the healthfulness of my drink of choice, red wine. :laugh: Actually, my primary care guy is pretty good with my vaping and my limited smoking--agrees that, if...

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    That's my purchasing routine too--two packs at a time to last me about a week and a half (along with two cartons for my wife who remains uninterested in vaping). I'm curious if anybody in this thread has tried and liked any of the naturally extracted tobacco juices (like the ones Vaperite...

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    I got a physical yesterday from a nurse I hadn't encountered before and fessed up to my now meager 4-a-day smoking habit, mentioning e-cigs but not really stressing the point and I'm not sure it even registered. When she (long-time ex smoker herself) prodded about how close to being quit I am...

    have you seen the new blu commercial??

    Mixed feelings about the commercial. I like that its message is a pro-smoking, "Take back our space" one. This is refreshing in the 21st Century, when usually the best we get is more like "Smoker scum, go crawl under a rock and chew some gum or, better yet, take a lethal pill." What I don't like...

    My first DIY order- I think I got everything.

    And conversely, some FA Bitter Wizard to mute unwanted sweetness. And maybe their Vape Wizard, which is said to smooth out tobacco flavors nicely. I've used both, although I'm not sure I detect how Vape Wizard affects my mix.

    They are fudging the numbers.

    It has occurred to me that evenhanded and all-knowing statistics might find a significant number of offsetting cases where smoking and other forms of nicotine use lengthened life? And I don't mean cases where somebody avoided a car crashing into their house because they were grabbing a fresh...

    Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

    FWIW, I strongly suspect ECF members are not representative of the entire population that uses e-cigarettes in any regular manner. Joining a forum and posting to it probably represents a higher degree of "into it" than average. And if the habits of the larger vaping community could be surveyed...

    Fun Fact & Figure

    I just finished off the first of my two 500ML jugs of 48mg unflavored from MFS and cracked open the second. Out of curiosity, I checked my order history to find out when I bought that nicotine and discovered it was in February 2012 and that (with a coupon code) that half liter (i.e., all the...

    How much do you mix at one time?

    I was about to post the same question, but thought I'd search and found this recent-ish thread. I have one all-day-all-the-time vape (a blend involving three FA tobaccos) and I don't think I've mixed up more than 80ml at one time, which is about a month's supply, I guess. I'm real bad about...

    Greek Heart Surgeon Dr. Farsalinos launches NEW SURVEY - PLS PARTICIPATE!

    Even easier, I discovered that if you type "kilograms to pounds" (or pretty much any other Metric/English phrase "x to y") into a Google search, a conversion calculator comes up right on the search page. Oh yes... BUMP. The survey asks intelligent questions.

    i am smoking tonight..

    I was thinking the same thing about unflavored when I read the OP. Good as so many of the sweet flavors I used to try out were, I tended to burn out on them after a few days. (I remember buying a huge amount of somebody's gingerbread flavor I thought I really loved--then suddenly didn't...

    Newbie looking for advice/experiences with quitting analogues

    From what I've read on this forum, I've gotten the sense it's really hard to predict what strength somebody is going to take to based on what they smoked. Some light brand smokers seem to need high nicotine; some full-flavor smokers do well on lower mg liquids.
