    Was Told I have COPD, And So...

    This is not just a vaping story, but I think vaping is a part of it, so would like to share it. When I was 57, I was obese and pathetically out of shape. I was about 240 lbs. (height: 5'7") and in a size 40 pants. I was smoking about 3 packs a day at that time. I had to have my heart and lungs...

    Anyone Start Exercising After Quitting Cigarettes?

    I started running after switching to vaping a couple years ago. I could only run for about 30 seconds at first, but in about 6 months I worked my way up to being able to run 5 miles at a slow pace. I stayed at 5 miles for quite a while. Recently someone on a fitness forum challenged me to...

    Vaping And Reversing What Smoking Has Done To Me

    I would like to thank you all for the nice responses. Smoking causes many issues, and I hope my story will motivate others who may have issues from smoking. I know it's hard to get to a good fitness level, but once you're there, it's easy to maintain. I think fitness is key in helping a body...

    Vaping And Reversing What Smoking Has Done To Me

    I am a 59 year old male. I smoked for well over 40 years and was a 3 pack a day smoker. I have been vaping for quite a few years and fell of the wagon twice, but got back on and have not smoked for close to a year now. A few years ago I was obese and at an extremely poor fitness level. My blood...

    Been A While But I took It To A Whole New Level

    I replaced cigarettes with vaping, but that wasn't enough. It took me about 6 months to wean myself off of my 3 PAD habit, but I was also obese and developed health issues from 40+ years of smoking. I am 5'8" tall, 58 years old, and weighed 225+ (probably closer to 230) lbs. a little over a...

    Taking It A Step Further

    Update... Been getting at least 10,000 steps a day (most days), also bought a bicycle and have been riding about 6 miles on that in addition to the steps (most days), and have lost 25 pounds so far. 30 more pounds to go, so about another 30 weeks. Had a checkup at the doctor today and he said...

    Fell Off The Wagon

    Ramp down. When I initially quit it took 5 or 6 months to go from 3 packs a day to none. I caught myself before getting back up to 3 packs a day, and now I am a little less than a pack a day.

    Fell Off The Wagon

    I quit for about a year and started to smoke one of my wife's cigarettes once in a while. Then it turned into once a week, then once a day, then twice a day, then I went and bought a pack, then went up to over a pack a day. I think it's because I lowered my nic level, because it started...

    2 years... down the drain.

    Sounds like an excuse to start smoking again, and blame other people for it to me.

    Mods don't like it when...

    I have an authentic Vapor Flask, and dropped it from about 2 to 3 feet onto a carpeted floor. The batteries jammed up into the top, bent the terminals, and cracked the plastic inside the top. They told me to send it in for repair (I think for free), even though I told them that I removed the top...

    IndoorSmokers And RiP Trippers Comparison

    I like the Indoor Smokers dude. I would not trust any of RIP Trippers product reviews though. I suspect his reviews are based on weather or not he gets free stuff (or even money) from the manufacturers. plus he is way to busy being a hot dog to give a review that I would take serious. He does...

    Got Some New Stuff

    I vape at 6 to 8 watts, so 20 watts is way more than enough for me. I just need a like cigarette experience. I've owned a few DNA40 devices as well, and currently have a Vapor Flask DNA40 which is in for repair. I dropped it from about 2 to 3 feet onto a carpeted floor, and the batteries jammed...

    Vaping in Hospitals

    Hospitals have to be forgiving with smokers, that is why I think they allow vaping. My sister in law is a heavy smoker, and when she was hospitalized, she threatened to rip her IV's out and leave if they did not let her smoke. They let her wheel her IV outside to smoke. I think they would...
