    Vaping, more addictive than smoking?

    Tinman, I don't hate the outdoors at all. But in the time since I quit smoking, I've chosen not to go outside every time I want to vape because of the association to smoking. I still love camping, biking, hiking, and most of all, just being outside. It's a temporary sacrifice until I feel...

    I began smoking at 22. I quit at 32. I quit smoking like I started, very slowly. I tried other ways first, but each time I tried to quit, I just ended up smoking more. About 2-3 years ago, I found the book, The Highly Sensitive Person and as I read it, I realized that what I'd always thought was...

    Do you Vape with the Smokers?

    If I'm out with friends and they have a cigarette, then yes, I go out with them and vape. Doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather be included in the conversation. I'm going to smell it when they come in anyway. I don't go out with my husband every time he has a cig at home, but I do sometimes, just...

    My transition

    It took me about a year to wean off cigarettes, partly due to the other stuff. I first tried to switch cold turkey and ended up a teary mess while out of town with my mother and two sister in laws. I realized after caving that weekend at a bar that I needed to progress more slowly. I considered...

    Feeling a Little Discouraged :(

    I get this response sometimes too, almost always from current or former smokers. Non smokers who know me are just happy for me that I've quit and they know it took me a long time to do, even with vaping. I know I shouldn't let the negative response affect me, but it does. I think sometimes...

    I just tried the hopscotch too, and agree that the extra flavor is not needed with it.

    Newbie Questions - Making the Transition

    What you are experiencing is quite normal for several of us who have switched. I can only speak for myself, but it took me about a year to wean off cigarettes, partly due to the other stuff. I first tried to switch cold turkey and ended up a teary mess while out of town with my mother and two...

    I Just Hit the 30 Day Mark! :)

    Congratulations! I'm on 21 days myself and happy to be on my way to the 30 day milestone. Guess I should look into getting a sig now since I know it's going to stick.

    New Member - Looking to convert a smoker

    My brother in law is sitting next to me and he says he can't smell what I'm vaping at all... It's TV Boston Cream Pie. He's taken a toke here and there other times, and is used to me vaping...so I say it depends heavily on the particular juice you are vaping and the sensitivity of smell of...

    "eGO Type Models": This category needs a NAME

    True. Some people don't even use the cone with their fat batts... I'll search for info about them by whatever the consensus is.

    What’s so ridiculous about Katherine Heigl’s e-cigarette habit?

    Thanks for sharing this article, I loved it and the video of Katherine Heigl talking about her ecig. Maybe someday I'll stop hearing from non smokers that this is the same as smoking. If it were the same, I would have been able to quit the day my pv arrived, and I wasn't. I had to wean down over...

    "eGO Type Models": This category needs a NAME

    I like Fat Batts, or Robusto. JumbAh as a category name would be ok too, and Don's JumbAhalaya's if they come out with a juice feeder system for them had me laughing out loud. I would like to see a poll on this. I hope cone names are not the general preference because I agree with previous...

    feel really bad..Flu or withdrawal symptoms ???

    I'm going through this too...and I know it's not the vaping. I've been vaping over a year and never felt like this. I just quit analogs 6 days ago... so I know it's a touch of quitter's flu, but I've also got what's going around, my whole family has it. Hang in there. I've quit for a few days at...

    Vaping, more addictive than smoking?

    ha ha, me too. I didn't realize it would become a hobby, but it has. I don't mind though, it's not as labor intensive after a year as it was at first, and I enjoy it. Keeping my hands busy, whether vaping the pv or wiping it down, or cruising the forums keeps me from going outside so I'll take it.

    5 days analog free

    Now it's fall...I did indeed have a vapetastic summer. I got down to 1-2 cigarettes a day, one after they went to sleep at nap time and one before bed. Then I told my husband to stop leaving a cigarette for me at naptime. I shifted to wanting one as soon as he got home but after a few weeks of...

    How Long Did It Take You...

    bluebelle, I have been vaping since august of last year. It has taken me *forever* to completely switch over. I love vaping, very much. I had my heart set on it working for me the first day, but it didn't. I didn't give up. I didn't have anyone to ask for help. I read so much on the forum and...

    Lux Review

    Thanks for the tip Tony, I will try that. Lelek, I've had both my Riva and Ego for many many months... um more than 4, less than 8 months probably. I still love and use them, especially the Riva. But I decided to get the Lux because I've had a Sidesho for longer and like the flavor on the Modern...
