    I don't see any reason why my goal should be to quit smoking and quit vaping!

    I've always enjoyed smoking while I hated knowing what it was doing to me. Vaping has eliminated the hatred part. Will I quit vaping ? To be totally honest; I don't know. It would be nice to leave the house and not have to inventory additional items before I go. Keys, wallet, money, cell...

    my dad

    Awesome stephania, simply awesome !! Awesome that YOU got off the stinkies, even more so that you got your Dad into it !!! Cigarettes took both my Mom and Dad. Mom quit at age 65, but it was too late; those Winstons took it's toll, she passed at age 77 from complications of COPD. My Dad...

    With all this happening, I'm putting on my ESP hat and think most vendors may end up going the "personal check or money order only" route....

    vaping has ruined smoking for me

    Actually, I smelled it as soon as we walked in. And, almost all the people at the table games weren't smoking. Most of the smoking was by the 70+ year old blue hairs at the penny slot machines. The most incredible sight was a old lady, O2 bottle on a dolly next to her, her nasal hose draped...

    vaping has ruined smoking for me

    The closest I got to "preaching" was just an observation. When I was on my cruise, I made my sabbatical to the casino, as always. As we walked in for the first time, I said to my wife, a non-smoker, "Wow, this place reeks !!". She calmly replies, "Yep. Welcome to my world.".

    Small brag: I think I've actually quit analogs for good now!!!

    Congrats !! What helped me kick analogs was insanely simple; if you don't have them around, you can't be tempted. If I had them around, I know I'd be tempted to have "just one", "just because". If the only thing you have handy is vaping, then you can't backslide to the analogs. Keeping them...

    vaping has ruined smoking for me

    I only use pre-filled cartos, so no spillage here. It's a side effect I'm not arguing with, even though I'm a guy, having nice nails is, well, nice. :) I'm sure the next time I change my car oil, work on the engine, or work on my motorcycle, it'll be back to "normal".....

    vaping has ruined smoking for me

    I've had a "side effect" from quitting analogs that I haven't seen mentioned before; I don't know if it's only happened to me or no one else noticed. While my fingernails never yellowed from smoking, I have noticed recently that my nails have a brilliant shine to them. I'm talking like I put...

    Smoking on a Cruise

    Well, I'm back. Got in yesterday. The cruise line was most forgiving when it comes to vaping. Several passengers were, and no staff said a word to any of us. So that's good. I vaped everywhere, but I admit I stealth vaped when in public. In the casino or in my room....well, y'know...

    vaping has ruined smoking for me

    Congrats, stephania !! Last Tuesday while I was on my cruise (day 3 of a 7 day cruise), I went down the water slide (yeah, I never grew up, just grew old...), and while getting out I slipped and fell on the edge of the water slide. Hard. Broke a few ribs. Yay me. After visiting medical...

    i will not smoke.

    You will win. The first time a smoker offers you a stinky and you reply with, "No thanks, I'm good.", you'll find you have a smile on your face without you even realizing it at first. THAT is a great feeling !!

    Why do most smokers cough from using my e cig?

    Interesting... I never did "lung hits" while I smoked my Marlboro red 100's, I always filled my mouth then inhaled. It seemed (to me) to cool down the smoke some. Of course, there were never "how to smoke" classes, so I thought I was doing what everyone else did. I smoke my e-cig the same...

    Does anyone else prefer prefilled cartomizers?

    I prefer the prefilled cartos for several reasons: 1) I'm lazy. 2) If it takes too much planning or work, I won't do it. (See rule #1) 3) The first time it leaked, I'd curse, scream and pitch it out the window. Does it cost more ? Certainly. But right now, cost isn't a factor; staying off the...

    Feels strange vaping in public

    I vape in public, but I have a cig-a-like, so most people recognize it for what it is. I also don't puff out clouds of "smoke" like an engine that just threw a rod...:tongue: My "smoke cloud" is typical to an analog. Some of the video clips I've seen of mods show HUGE plumes of vapor that...

    .... Head at Work

    Many moons ago, after I was discharged from the Marines, I had a job as an armed Security Officer at a large commercial office building. One of my Officers was posted in the main entrance greeting employees as they arrived. The sun rose directly in his face, so he wore sunglasses. He wore...

    another reason to enjoy vaping over smoking

    I used to smoke while riding. I ride a Ural Gear Up, a Russian military two-wheeled drive sidecar motorcycle (yes, it is camouflaged and I even have a machine gun on the sidecar....). It has a huge military surplus windshield with canvas skirt which allowed me to spark one up with my Zippo...

    i will not smoke.

    I feel for ya, Stephania....but stay strong !! Every few mornings, typically on the weekends, when I wake up, I want a "real cigarette". I grab my e-cig and start vaping away. The craving passes and I'm glad there are no stinkies around. Would I fire it up if I had them ? Honestly, I most...

    Ever just want to walk up to strangers?

    If someone walks up to me and asks, I answer the questions. I would never approach someone else and start preaching. I liken it to me walking up to an obese person eating a hamburger and I start preaching how much better my salad is and how that burger is killing them and how they could have a...
