    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I got out my car at the library and almost stepped on a brand new bag of American Spirit Tobacco with papers! Waited a couple weeks before I dipped into it. Perique blend

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I'll put out a few more bucks for the digital multimeter when I get my wicks and wire. Would you mind if I pm'ed you if I have trouble after attempting a few? I just get frustrated and confused reading all the different posts about it, some get way too technical. I like your approach. I...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I would think after 6 mos. I'd have been over the physical addiction. I was to the point of vaping on 0 nic without much trouble. Did this for months. Then I found that tobacco and at first I'd have a few drags and then not smoke for days/weeks. Then started smoking a bit more (1-2 cigs a...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I just didn't understand what you meant. I think my meter just isn't working. I had tried the zeroing screw and that had no effect. Seems easier to pick up the $5.49 one at harbor freight. DeDee1234: I wouldn't have had that one had I not found the tobacco. I admire that you can have them...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I see Harbor Freight has a $5.49 digital multimeter. I plan on only using it to rebuild vivi nova's. If it's too bad, I can return it. I hate to give up too after all I've spent and gone through to quit smoking. If I can rebuild the heads, I think I'll be happier since I just can't afford to...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    So I need to purchase a new (digital) multimeter. $20 + Mine can't be used? One of the better videos I've seen!

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Well, I just ordered nic juice, kanthal wire, silica wick. One more try and will try to rebuild heads. (Can't find info on how to tell a short with a multimeter - just swings way right (that happens if I adjust my Ohm Adj wheel way up)? I have a wheel on mine, needle starts at 150 ohm even...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    It would be great if we were sure it was safe, but we're not. Some people may want to spends days on end reading opinions, I can't and don't want to. In fact, I want a cigarette the most when I'm frustrated and reading all the reviews with vaping. Just read info the alkaloids in WTA are...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    I have a multimeter (GB GMT-19P)but I don't know if it's the right kind nor how to really use it (I've had it for years, probably needs a battery, if it takes one). Like this one: I see the wire and wick material is very inexpensive. I usually don't vape higher than 3.8 v according to my...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Have you posted how to rebuild your coils? I've looked at it and understand how to do it, I just don't know what wire to buy because of the burning rubber issue and such that I've read about. Is it really necessary to have the tester? I've saved all my bad coils and don't mind sitting down...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Thank you, FinallyQuit. I know it's not just me because I've read several posts with the same complaints. My main reason for quitting was $$$ and I was making my own cigs and I didn't like spending that much time doing it. Yes, health was a reason and I love not craving a cigarette or vaping...

    Samples aren't charity. They want to make a sale, they need to provide me a taste for less than $19.

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Bazmonkey, freeways are actually not too bad anymore, even in rush hour. When I quit, I spent days on this forum. Ended up buying a KGO kit that came with 2 batteries and an awful carto-type tank and some awful tasting juices. Then bought a mini and regular sized Vision Vivi Nova and a...

    Not any more - I'm done screwing around with even trying to buy anything. But thanks. If they believed in their product they'd be sending out free samples.

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    WTA from Aromaejuice is absolutely OUT OF THE QUESTION due to the $19+ for 10 ml to just try it!!! Take on an extra $6 since they only ship Priority and near me, so I pay sales tax, too. I think I'm going to try and use up the vape stuff I have and see what happens. But after more emails...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Yes, tried dripping, not for me. Even cartos and small clearos require filling too often for me. I want to pick it up, relax, and vape.

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Tricci, your right that there's always some sort of issue, but that's not clear unless you come to this forum and spend hours researching. I love this forum, but don't like spending so much time on it or on finding/ordering or putzying with supplies. If the industry doesn't simplify and make...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    Thanks for all the info on depression. I have insurance, it's just a crappy Medicare Advantage Plan and I get my mental health care through the State. I've been on every med, combos, and ECT treatments. Been dealing with it for years and am quite familiar with it. I quit smoking cold turkey...

    Help-started smoking again! E-cig not doing it for me!

    That's a good idea. But I've looked at their flavors and see many are only 12 mg. found one in 18 mg strength. I don't like flavors except tobacco and not sweet ones, which most seem to be. I'll shoot them an email, maybe there just low on stock.
