    Yep. It's funny - whenever I write "hobby" in one of these threads, I think of you Simply Red. :)

    Water in lung?

    The onus is on the claimant. Anyone who says "vaping causes water to buildup in your lungs" has to either prove their claim or they lose credibility.

    I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself

    I agree. The design and build quality of Blu e-cigs are top notch. But, like you DJS, I had to "take one more step" up the vaping hardware ladder before I was able to quit smoking entirely. @Invertiguy: Welcome to the family! You've come to the right place. We've got hundreds (if not...

    I got lucky and big thanks to all of you

    OK, I thought "73" was the OP's age, but now it seems more like a radio code, am I right? (I learned the phonetic alphabet in order to get my pilot's license when I was 18, and of course the proper ways to address air traffic control as well as no tower/open channel communications, but no other...

    Quitting???

    I recently quit hotdogs. But wait - when I ate hotdogs, I was also ingesting the water that comes inside the hotdogs. So I can't say I quit hotdogs unless I also quit ingesting water? Me too! Although I haven't had sex since I started vaping, so it's really a moot point, eh? :p

    Weight gain/loss after quitting cigs...

    I actually gained a little weight since I started vaping. Then again, I became addicted to double chocolate muffins around the same time, so I really can't blame vaping for it. :p

    Newbie from New Jersey

    Welcome to ECF, kutzi17! :) And that's great progress so far. But you'll find that it's not only vaping that will help you quit smoking, but also the fact that vaping is very much a brotherhood/sisterhood. You'll get tons of support here at ECF from people who have had experiences similar...

    Owning multiple mods?

    It's also nice to read reviews from people who don't normally write them to compare & contrast the different mods they have, so that people like me who haven't bought one yet can make a more informed decision.

    Thanks for the kind words, FT. :) I've never been much of a salesperson, but when I really believe in something - like CASAA - people just can't get me to shut up about it. But mine is just one voice in a sea of thousands here. And a good thing, too, as we're going to need all the voices we...

    poor draws aka trying to suck a golf ball thru a garden hose

    If a gunked up coil is the culprit, then it's not outside the realm of possibility that a very thick e-juice could have that effect within a few days like that. You could get some distilled water and dilute your e-juice by 20% or 30% to thin the mixture a bit. Make sure it's a gunked coil...

    poor draws aka trying to suck a golf ball thru a garden hose

    What is the PG/VG ratio of those e-juices? Vegetable glycerin is much more viscous (i.e., thicker) than PG, or the other ingredients in e-liquid. If your flavors are far above 50% VG, then you may want to try using a lower VG amount. I don't know if your juice vendor lets you specify the...

    Mom found out.

    I think we've found the problem. Not the cause, but surely one of the most prominent symptoms. ;) But seriously ... It's really good that you've found vaping as an effective and safer habit than smoking. And I'm sure your mom cares very much for your health and well being, but I doubt...

    How did you quit smoking?

    Based on all the people here at ECF who share stories about quitting smoking the day they started vaping lead me to think that soon - or at least within a few years - vaping will prove to be the #1 most effective stop-smoking method. No wonder BT wants vaping to die a quick death.

    I'm Back! And coughing?

    Did you breathe/steep the juice(s) when you received them? Mt. Baker Vapors make them for you within hours of placing your order, which means when you receive them, they need to breathe (uncapped) for around 48-72 hours, and then steep (capped) for a couple of weeks. Steeping should be done...
