    Whoa! Hello 3 year vapeaversary!

    Ok, so this is 4 days early from my actual vapeaversary.....but with grad school my ECF time has been drastically cut. :( And ignore my signature calendar....I have reset it 3 times now and it still reads the wrong info. 8/22/10 was the last time I smoked a cigarette. THREE YEARS! Year 3...

    Are you stockpiling / hoarding due to fear of the upcoming FDA announcement?

    This is a hard one for me. I come from a long line of "over-preparers". If you have 1 bottle of shampoo stashed in the cabinet, then 5 is better. I get it from my dad. :P That said, I have always been an "over-stocker" of all things vaping. It is a control thing with me. Until the last...

    Superiority of cartos over bottom wick tanks

    Oh I certainly do not think Susaz is a troll at all.....she has been a member here for a long time....and is what I would call a veteran vaper such as myself. My response is not meant to be insulting; rather, it was a friendly reminder for all of us (myself included) to take a step back and...

    Superiority of cartos over bottom wick tanks

    Sorry, maybe it is just how I am interpreting this, but I see response as insulting and rude! The OP is new to vaping. Cartos are working great for them. Can we be supportive and helpful rather than snarky? If you don't like cartos, move along and don't reply--it is very simple. Throwing...

    Superiority of cartos over bottom wick tanks

    I 100% agree cartos and tanks are better. I have tried vivis and protanks, evods, etc and none of them offer better flavor than my carto and tank set up. When your tanks arrive, punch 1 or 2 holes and use a syringe to fill the carto. Saturate it until it looks slushy on top. Let it sit a...

    Can sugar from VG and PG be aborbed into the blood stream and effect Cholestrol

    If your cholesterol count was that drastically different from April to July, I would have the test redone ASAP. An increase that high is not a normal occurrence. Honestly, I would question if there was an error in the lab with a reading that much higher in only 3 months. I am surprised your...

    How do you finance your vapage?

    That is GREAT! :) You have had some great luck on your side. Ego's rarely lasted me more than 4-6 months before they quit holding a good charge. Getting 2wks-1month out of a carto is also really good. I usually get 3-6 days per carto, but I also vape sweetened juice. I am also the type of...

    How do you finance your vapage?

    I have vaped for almost 3 years, so I kind of have it broken down into "quarterly vaping purchases". I figure I spent about $3000 per year smoking. I like to hunt for sales and purchase accordingly. Health Cabin: purchase ~100 boxes of cartos twice per year. Usually take advantage of the...

    Do you vape @ HOME in front of your family?

    Aside from my personal thoughts as to what the OP is doing posting this...... Yep, I vape vape vape away at home. I have zero kids and a very supportive husband. I vape in bed, in the bathroom, garage, family room, and even in the kitchen while cooking. Front yard, back yard, and garage too...

    Cotton wick for the win!

    I had tried multiple types of silica....1mm, 2mm, 3mm, several different silica vendors.....all of them just had a weird funky taste. Even tried SS mesh. That was a total fail for me. I torched, washed, dried, everything.....cotton has been zero problems so far!! I just bought regular old...

    Cotton wick for the win!

    I have tried rebuilding vivi's, protanks, evods, bulli atomizer....no luck. Coils work great, taste is HORRIBLE. I would torch the kanthal, wash/dry/torch the silica, same bad taste no matter what I did. Had an insomnia episode last night. Started watching youtube videos on cotton...

    So, , is cvaping just nothing like smoking or ?

    It isn't like smoking...yet it also is. I know, confusing huh. Given that you are using no-nic, it is gentler on the throat. It is a different sensation from cigarettes. The lower the nic content, the smoother it is. Also, if you vape VG instead of PG liquids, it is smoother and less harsh...

    Do people still ask you for a light?

    This reminds me of a few weeks ago. Hubs and I went out for dinner. As we were leaving, one of the employees was going outside and asks me if he can bum 4 cigarettes from me! I told him I don't smoke, so no. What surprised me more than him asking was that he asked for FOUR cigarettes!! Who...

    Vaping and working in Healthcare

    RN here as well....and NOBODY that I work with knows I vape. I graduated from RN school after I started vaping. Nobody knows I used to smoke, so nobody knows I vape. My hospital has a no tobacco on campus policy, and vaping/ecigs ARE included in the wording of the tobacco rules. That rules...
