    Joyetech eGo one setup

    Hey, Astron, thanks for the info. I look forward to hearing your results. I just bought an Atlantis/CF Sub Ohm setup, but this ego one is so tempting--like it's calling me. :blink:

    Im 54 years old, black and I quit smoking in three days after starting vaping.

    Yeah, I definitely feel that volume of vapor is important when switching off cigarettes (I guess to make up for the missing tar). The more vapor I get, the less I think about smoking; and when I do smoke, the smoke volume seems anemic by comparison. Funnily, even though the Atlantis makes me...

    Im 54 years old, black and I quit smoking in three days after starting vaping.

    Well, I'm not black, but where I work, here in Costa Mesa, CA, there is a black guy that vapes. When I was struggling with vaping, and beginning to feel defeated, his monster clouds continued to inspire me to keep working on it. I even picked up a couple of Nautilus Minis because that's what...

    coughing every time i vape.

    Based on my experience, I would say it is because your lungs have been ripped on by smoking. That's why most people claim it takes a few days of solely vaping to get used to it. I think it's really more that it takes that long for some of the damage to heal--at least, that's how it's working...

    Joyetech eGo one setup

    I've seen a couple of reviews, and they indicated that it can be a PITA to fill the tank without a syringe. Is it possible to fill this tank with a dropper? WickedBad, thank you for answering my questions. :)

    Joyetech eGo one setup

    I love the size and the USB charging port, also the battery capacity indicator is a good thing. But how does it do in the area of leaking, flooding, gurgling, and spitting juice drops in the mouth? How does it perform compared to a Nautilus Mini or an Atlantis? I also wonder what the wick...

    Trouble sticking to it, anyone else?

    True this. One time, I went into my garage to have a vape, and instead lit up a smoke. I didn't even realize I was lighting it until the first puff, all because I left the smokes where the PV was supposed to be. I now vape more because I put the PV right where the smokes always used to be.

    Trouble sticking to it, anyone else?

    I love reading all these success stories from people that didn't instantly switch from smoking to vaping. :) Certainly very inspiring.

    Trouble sticking to it, anyone else?

    For a long time, I was just like the OP, and sometimes I still am. I think it is true that we must remove the pressure we put on ourselves, and avoid beating ourselves up if we stumble--all that does is make cigarettes even more important and ensure future struggles. Rather, try to think...

    Stress

    I started emailing my wife success stories from ECF and other places, and they eventually outweighed the "research" she was finding elsewhere. Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer doesn't need to think very long to see the point.

    Stress

    I totally get what you're saying. When I was just starting to vape and attempt reducing my smoking, there was a barrage of negative articles and bans being promoted across the country. I found that every time I read anything negative, I was instantly back to smoking and not vaping. After some...

    Aspire Sub ohm battery, and Atlantis tank?

    Dan, thank you for your review. :)

    Aspire Sub ohm battery, and Atlantis tank?

    Now I'm feeling bummed, I was hoping to use this battery for ADV purposes. :( Until now, I've only seen good things about this battery here on ECF.

    Aspire Sub ohm battery, and Atlantis tank?

    Thanks for the additional info. Although the Sub Ohm battery is specified for a max of 1.0 Ohm, it did seem to me that since the battery outputs 4.2 volts, the current and thus the power should merely adjust according to the coil resistance. I just ordered an Atlantis/Sub Ohm pair based on...

    Aspire Sub ohm battery, and Atlantis tank?

    Hi Dan, You mean the Sub Ohm battery will fire the 1.8 Ohm coil in the Mini Nautilus? I thought the Sub Ohm battery is rated for a max resistance of 1.0 Ohm.

    Aspire Nautilus Mini Resistance

    Hey all, I'm a bit puzzled about the resistance of my BVC coils for the Nautilus Mini. The coils are supposed to be 1.8 Ohms, but when I measure them, both directly and when in the tank, I get about 2.4 Ohms. At first, I doubted the accuracy of my Ohm meter. So, then I tested a new cartomizer...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Hi AndriaD, Yes, that's what the inhaler does for me, too--makes my cough more productive rather than dry and unproductive. I will keep in mind your advice as I progress with vaping. Normally, while smoking full-time, I don't even use the inhaler, only when I get a cold or something. Once, I...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Thanks, everyone, for giving me advice. I feel it's only proper to post an update. So, I have labored on with my Nicoticket 18mg Virus and my Albuterol inhaler. I have two Aspire ET-S toppers with BVCs, which I am running on a couple of Joyetech eCom-C Twists at 10 Watts. I like the way this...

    Why am I coughing when vaping?

    Your situation sounds a lot like mine, except I didn't get the flu first--years of smoking cigarettes was enough to do it to me. Based on my experience, you will continue to cough as lot as you continue to smoke cigarettes, even if just a couple a day. Even if you toss all the cigarettes, I am...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    I am glad that you are finding some relief with your asthma--maybe it will just take a while to heal. I hope that's the case for me too. I do remember that, somewhere along the way, I started coughing if ever I got a whiff of steam off a fresh cup of coffee, too. I remember noting that it...
