    How much or often do you vape??

    While at work, I smoked maybe 3 a day. The whole "get up, walk to the elevator, wait for it, go down, go outside, smoke one, go back in, stop at the restroom, wash up, go back to work" routine made smoking not feasible. Smoking a cig took maybe 3 minutes, the whole procedure to smoke one took...

    My antique vaping cabinet is finally done!

    He could've just supported you verbally, even monetarily, but he took it one step further and spent some time and effort to "create" that for you. Ya got a good guy, there !!

    People can be jerks.

    Just today, while at work, I was puzzled with a programming problem that made no sense. "Back in the day" I'd have gone through half a pack by noon...with many trips outside "to think" about the problem. Today was the closest I came to snagging an analog from an engineer. But I didn't (yay me...

    Cruise ship vacation vaping.

    I'm cruising next month with Carnival, and I was asking similar questions in another thread. I plan on taking my cig-a-like and pleading the 5th (even though I read and know their policy towards e-cigs). But, I've noticed as of late, even though I can vape in public, I find I don't. Maybe I...

    pray for me / don't put all of your spares in one basket

    I use a cig-alike (Green Smoke), and while at work, a customer who also vapes, gave this newbie some really good advice. He said, "Make sure you have more backups than you'll think you'll ever need. Go what you think is overboard. If your battery dies or you run out of cartos, you will go buy...

    Smoking on a Cruise

    Yep, I'm on Carnival this time. I've been on Princess also (as a smoker), and the odd thing is; they are both owned by the same company, I wonder why there are different rules ? And I'll be honest. I WILL be vaping in my room even though we have a balcony. Vape don't stink, so what they...

    Smoking on a Cruise

    I've been on several cruises over the years...always as a smoker. We always got a balcony room, allowing me to sit on the balcony and blow one as opposed to going to the dedicated smoking area or the casino. Now that I'm a vaper, going on a cruise in 3 weeks, I wondered if there were any...

    i am smoking tonight..

    A slip-up is not a failure; it's just a slip-up. Maybe you should do what I did...get rid of them all. You can't smoke 'em if you don't have 'em. The nearest place for me to buy analogs is a 4 mile round trip. I'm too lazy to make that run. :tongue: My "usual" craving is in the morning...

    I'm feeling muscles i never even knew i had

    Never connected the pain with not smoking. My right knee has been hurting as of late, I thought it was one of them "getting old" things....otherwise I have no other pains. Mmmm, maybe my first assumption was right. Darn.

    Why is there even talk of banning E-Cigs???

    Unfortunately, that's what our government does these days. If something is proved popular, and our government doesn't get their "take" from the profits, well, ban it, regulate it or tax the bejesus out of it "for our own good". Taxes on a pack of regular "real" cigarettes is somewhere in...

    3rd day as a non smoker

    Don't forget to congratulate yourself on the little milestones you have; the first full week of no cigarettes, the first time you fight a craving and win, the first time someone offers you a cigarette....and you say "no thanks". Milestones to be sure, but only truly understood by us. The one...

    how long after starting vaping did you stop smoking analogs?

    My kit, a Green Smoke, which I know is poo-poo'd by many, but working absolutely great for me, came in the mail a lot quicker than expected. I still had a pack of unopened Marlboro 100's in the kitchen. Day one, while my kit charged, I opened the pack. Had one while I checked out the kit...

    Second hand vape??

    You're a nice roommate for showing concern. Had it been me (back in the day when I had roommates), I would've been a sarcastic mutha. "You were late to work ? Must've been me vaping last night." "Car didn't start ? I did vape in front of your car; sorry." "The milk expired ? Yep, I was...

    Wow they reek!

    I made a promise to myself to not become a "preacher" of non-smoking. I will not admit publicly about the stink of cigarettes. I will not wave my hand in front of my face while others smoke. I will not make the squinty-face or let out the fake cough. Others (non-smokers) have done that to me...

    Happy Saint Patrick's Day ECF!

    Happy St Paddy Day !! Being 100% Irish, I went out yesterday and hit a few celebrations; with trepidation. I usually do my "best smoking" while drinking beer. It's not uncommon for me to knock out and entire pack of smokes in one party session. I brought my e-cig, 3 batteries (not leaving...

    3rd day as a non smoker

    I've been cig-free since March 1st, only 17 days. But I'm amazed how easy it was this time (in the past I tried Zyban, the patch, cold turkey...always went back). You'll make it. If I can do it, anybody can. I'm one of them that actually like smoking, so it could've been real easy for me to...

    How'd You Choose Your ECF Member Name?

    Mine is from the name of my first car that my dad gave me in 1975 (I was 14) under one condition; "You fix it, you can have it". I did. It was a 1954 Willys M38A1 Army Jeep. Yes, OD green, stars and registration numbers on the hood; the whole 9 yards. Someone in the military named that Jeep...
