    Aspire Nautilus Mini vs. Aspire ET-S

    Hi Cowboy192, thanks for posting. Sounds like a 1/16" drill bit. Did the greater airflow contribute to a bigger cloud, too? Sometimes, I feel like the vapor production gets a little anemic.

    Worried vaping won't help me

    I really hope this is not the situation I am in. I have not had any pain, it's just the gut-busting coughing followed by bronchitis that is the problem. After pressing onwards, and analyzing myself in the process, I think it must be the mixture of smoking analogs and vaping that is the...

    Nicotine not addictive? Yeah right!

    No. But once I start, I cannot stop. Seriously, it's easier to just avoid them in the first place.

    Nicotine not addictive? Yeah right!

    And, how's it anyone else's concern if I'm addicted to something. I'm happily addicted to caffeine, and I won't apologize for it, either.

    Aspire Nautilus Mini vs. Aspire ET-S

    Yeah, I feel ya. I'm trying hard to avoid getting into GAS. :D Sounds like you think I should go ahead and pull the trigger on the mini. I think I'm gunna, too.

    Aspire Nautilus Mini vs. Aspire ET-S

    Hi Cowboy192, thanks for the tip. I've heard about drilling out the hole before, but I was afraid to permanently alter things for the worse. So, you think drilling made them perform much better? What drill size did you go with?

    really want a analog today.

    To be certain, there are times when it is really hard to take this tact. But it is, in fact, the best advice.

    Exactly. Do you think it is?

    Aspire Nautilus Mini vs. Aspire ET-S

    Hi guys, thanks much for your advice. I was looking at the Atlantis, but I'm not yet ready to change batteries--I'm still using a couple of recently purchased eCom C-Twist batteries that max out at 10W. I realize the Nautilus is very popular, but at the time I didn't want to shell out a lot of...

    Aspire Nautilus Mini vs. Aspire ET-S

    Hi guys, I've been vaping on an Aspire ET-S with 1.8Ohm BVC at 10W with pretty good taste and cloud. Just wondering, though, with all else being equal, would there be any further benefit to switching to an Aspire Nautilus Mini? Anyone have both to compare? Thank you for your help.

    I think Heisenberg was highly certain of the uncertainty principle. :D

    Worried vaping won't help me

    I've always heard that asthma is an individual's response to a bronchial irritant. I know for a fact that smoke is irritating to my lungs. Upon getting smoke in one's eyes, it soon becomes clear just how irritating smoke is. At the same time, I have noticed that smoking a cigarette can, at...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Hi Andria, thanks for your advice. I've been lurking around in the forums for quite a while, and as you'll recall we've talked a few times. I knew you had asthma and had quit smoking twice. I recall you saying the second time was a lot harder, too. I did not know your asthma was now out of...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Hi BraveNewWorld, thank you for posting this. It gives me the hope that if I just man-up and soldier-on, with inhaler in hand, that my issues will calm down too. Well, I can understand that it seems like a lot of work to figure out what could be causing your tightness in the chest. I don't...

    Nicotine not addictive? Yeah right!

    I don't doubt that nicotine is addictive, based on my own personal experiences and those of people I know. But nicotine is not the sole ingredient in a cigarette. One very powerful ingredient in a smoked cigarette is carbon monoxide (CO), it actually is largely responsible for the "calming"...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Hi guys, thanks for so many suggestions. I deeply appreciate your help. I guess I should say that I plain ole "have" asthma. I must admit that I've had my head in the sand for years about asthma, much to my Doctor's dismay, but I never had any symptoms until having smoked for many years. Of...

    Worried vaping won't help me

    Hey all, I'm getting worried. Every time I try to commit to vaping I run into all kinds of trouble. I have asthma, and so I cannot even take the slightest vape unless I use my inhaler first (this doesn't seem to happen with smoking). I realize the asthma is from years of smoking 30+ cigs a...

    Nicotine not addictive? Yeah right!

    Now what was that famous guy's name again? Hmmmmm, well, anyway, too bad more people don't actually listen and follow his teachings, let alone say his name.

    Nicotine not addictive? Yeah right!

    If we define additive to mean "feeling a compulsion to go on using a substance even though we don't want to," then yes, I think nicotine is additive. And, I'd say vaping is at least additive enough to enable me to reduce my cigarette addiction. I have tried patches and gum several times over...

    Ear problems from vaping?

    It is noteworthy to point out that "never-smokers" also get all gunged up when the seasons change--it's just that smoking makes us so much more vulnerable, and also makes it harder to get over those infections.
