    Do you Vape around your children?

    I have a 6, almost 3, and one year old. We never smoked in the house, but were regularly going out on the front stoop to smoke analogs, and if we all were outside we smoked around them. When the kids saw our new PVs this morning, we explained to the two older ones that we're trying really hard...

    Got our Volts tonight!

    This morning has been a bit tough. I'm used to going out for a smoke and coffee within 15 minutes of getting up... and not going out had my skin crawling (vaping wasn't helping). I ended up going out and smoking an analog - only to find out after about 4 drags that I didn't actually want it...

    Got our Volts tonight!

    Hubby just tried the RY4 and is really liking it now. He says he wishes that there were more "smoke" though. I suppose we'll have to experiment on what the ratios are. Funny thing, vaping is actually triggering me to want an analog - maybe it's because it's the same movement? I think I'll...

    Got our Volts tonight!

    Our Volts arrived in the mail today (and the samples from Vixen Vapors), and so we've tried our hand at vaping. I've done a ton of research, and spent a lot of time on ECF, but hubby hasn't and is pretty much along for the ride because he realizes we need to get off the analogs. So far, it's...

    What should I expect when withdrawing from analogs?

    I purchased both 12 mg and 18 mg - unless I'm really stressed I don't take full drags off an analog (plus I got really woozy when I tried the patch and gum - I couldn't even handle the middle grade one that was recommended for 1/2-1 PAD smokers). I'm also going to try the whole "hold it in for...

    How should I tell people about vaping? Is there a sticky about snappy comebacks?

    I know I'm posting a lot here, but I'm trying to be totally prepared for starting vaping. Here's my latest question: how should I tell my friends/family about vaping? I tried explaining it to my mother-in-law (also a smoker) and she seemed more confused than anything, especially about safety...

    Anyone else start ecigs like me?

    I'm in a similar situation to you - I smoke anywhere from 8-15 cigarettes a day - but I've never been able to completely quit (even when pregnant - serious guilt there, let me tell you!). My doctor has told me that I'm not technically "addicted" to nicotine in the traditional sense, but...

    What should I expect when withdrawing from analogs?

    Thanks ctourtelot - that was a great link (and just what I was looking for). I just checked my email, and it looks like our kits are set to arrive on Saturday, which is great because then hubby and I can play with them in the afternoon when the two younger kids are napping, and he'll get a bit...

    What should I expect when withdrawing from analogs?

    I was reading another post where a few people mentioned getting sick after quitting analogs. I'm familiar with new non-smokers hacking up lung butter for a good while after stopping, but I've never heard of any other withdrawal symptoms (other than the obvious nic fit and not knowing what to do...

    Hello from Chicago

    Hi there! I'm from the Gurnee area, myself. I'm with PP - do you know of any brick and mortar places in the Chicagoland area that we can get supplies from? (My kit hasn't even come in the mail yet and I've already had a dream that I ran out of something critical and had to buy a pack of...

    Ordered kits, do I need eliquid to start?

    I do have plans to upgrade in the future, at the moment it is more about getting started, KWIM? After that, we'll work on having backup supplies, and finally after that we'll try some bigger stuff (ego or kro with mods). It will be a process. I just so excited about getting our kits! I'm sure...

    Ordered kits, do I need eliquid to start?

    I'm definitely going to try different venders. For this first "batch" I was looking for a place that had sample packs with a variety available, that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and didn't lock me in to 36mg (which I saw a few do). If vaping is anything like any other alternative nicotine...

    Ordered kits, do I need eliquid to start?

    Thanks for the quick responses! I decided to get a few sample packs from Vixen Vapors (tobacco for hubby, and "joe's" mix for myself so I can try a range of flavors). It's a good thing I did, because it said a 3-5 business day delivery for priority mail, and our kits will be here by Friday or...

    Ordered kits, do I need eliquid to start?

    My husband and I have been smoking for 15+ years and are determined to quit, so today I ordered our first kits (volt kits for both of us). Included are 5 prefilled cartos each, and I also got 10 blank cartos but figured I would order some juice later. Now I'm wondering if I should get some...

    Total n00b here, but going to order *something* tonight

    I'm going to order the Volt once my husband gets home, with a 65mm auto and a 78 mm manual, and the strong sampler at a 1.2%. Should I add in a pack of blanks and see if I can find someplace else to get a sampler of different flavors? I'd hate to pay shipping from a bunch of places, but at the...

    Total n00b here, but going to order *something* tonight

    My husband and I have been smoking for years, and are determined to quit analogs. We've tried different methods in the past, and it just. doesn't. work. I'm okay without the nicotine, but the actual ritual of smoking is something that I don't want to give up. Just the other day a friend...
