    Vapors Nod? Secret Handshake?

    Speaking of lighters. Hubby is seriously trying this time to make the switch. He has been smoke free for almost 2 weeks so far. YAY!!!!!!!!! We took the boat out last weekend. Went to light the grill to cook up some hot dogs and realized we didn't have a lighter :shock: Fortunately we found...

    Pay to vape?

    It might not have been sub par juice. You might have found something delicious and if you did it is possible you would have gotten a discount equal to what you would have had to pay for sampling. I wasn't there so can't say how that particular shop is handling the deeming rules.

    What bad hardware have you bought ?

    The first TANK I bought (I think it was called a CE6 or something like that). Up until that point I was using bottom coil CE3's. (looked a lot like a cartomizer in shape and size but was made of clear plastic). We got to use those tanks exactly one time before the tank part cracked. I actually...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Yep, and I consider my stockpile as a very inexpensive insurance. At this point I am set to vape for the rest of my life with devices I enjoy using and not have to buy anything other than a bit of flavoring, maybe a few 18650 batteries occasionally and possibly a bit of pg/vg. The tax man can...

    I remember back in the day...

    I consider this place my home away from home. It is nice to hang out with a bunch of like minded folks. It is amazing how quickly the past almost 6 years has gone by. :)

    Can't commit to vaping?

    It seem there is more to nic salts than can be seen from a casual glance. I am just happy that they are there for the folks that need them. I actually made my own and can vape it at 14 mg (1.4%). My 14 mg nic salt is smoother than my 10mg regular nic.

    Can't commit to vaping?

    oops, I hope I didn't put a damper on your bubble :oops: You are very welcome. 1.8% sounds about right for someone just coming off smokes and for some it is a good maintenance level. I have read where some folks needed 2.4% or 3.6% to keep the beast at bay so I am very happy that nic salts are...

    Can't commit to vaping?

    Great post @stols001 I am glad that someone that had to struggle to quit posted what it took to help them make the switch. One clarification though, if I may. I am pretty sure all of the liquid nicotine we use is the same kind of nicotine found in cigarettes. Nic salt nicotine is just...

    Can't commit to vaping?

    If you really really want to make the switch and just can't do it, maybe you need to try WTA (whole tobacco alkaloids). It is more expensive than normal e-liquid but from all I have read about it a small amount of the unflavored can be mixed with your normal e-liquid so a little goes a long...

    Vape very hot, what am I doing wrong?

    are you going to listen to a manufacturer that wants you to buy more coils by hitting them with high wattage and burning them up quickly or are you going to listen to your body telling you that it is just too hot? Several folks have already suggested turning the wattage down and opening up the...

    Ẁhere to get combustible tobacco cigarettes with no nicotine?

    I will be the first to admit that I do not know. I also don't know that there aren't folks out there that have quit smoking with plain PG/VG or quickly dropped the nicotine. Some folks and I would venture to say most folks that smoke do get hooked on the chemical soup created by burning. I...

    Ẁhere to get combustible tobacco cigarettes with no nicotine?

    I would never try to claim that I know what is in another persons thoughts but it seems to me that you believe that it's mostly the nicotine in smokes that has gotten generation after generation of folks hooked on smoking whereas I think it is the act of combustion and the chemicals released by...
