    Planning my Quit smoking strategy, need help with ecig

    You know, I used to know where to find all this info but it's been a while since I had to look for it. I did find this one: Smoking cessation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "A study found that 93 percent of over-the-counter NRT users relapse and return to smoking within six months."

    Planning my Quit smoking strategy, need help with ecig

    Me too, I was just going to try it and then I could come back here and reveal the "truth" about e-cigs --- but they worked!

    Planning my Quit smoking strategy, need help with ecig

    Another thought: • Chantix has a 77% relapse rate (users will go back to smoking in the future) • the patch has about 93% relapse rate • cold turkey has about 97% relapse rate • e-cigarettes has about 20% relapse rate.

    Planning my Quit smoking strategy, need help with ecig

    I just read that article (essay, really). A very mesmerizing story. Here are my favorite lines: “I joked to my friends that Chantix was the ultimate quit-smoking drug, because when you kill yourself, there’s no chance of relapse.” "...an older man in a trench coat caught my attention. I...

    Sorry....noob question here: How do you know when the cartridge is empty?

    It depends on your vaping goals, really. Ideally, you'll top off your carto as soon as the flavor drops off (assuming you use a freshly charged battery, you'll notice this pretty easily). Lately, I've been very lazy and very busy so I'm using all pre-filled cartos ATM. I usually use mine...

    Where am I going wrong?

    Have you tried mixing the PG and VG together? Most vapers prefer a mix of about 70%PG with 30%VG. Vg will provide lots of visible vapor, but it mutes the flavor and throat hit. Pg gives tons of throat hit (perhaps the throat irritation you are experiencing) and a cleaner flavor, but not as...

    Purchase "wadding"?

    OH yeah, and pyramid tea bags... NOT the standard paper tea bags, only the pyramid kind will work right.

    Purchase "wadding"?

    You mean like the stuffing that goes into your cartridges? A couple options: polyfill from the sewing store (used to stuff pillows and such, it's NOT cotton, make sure you get the polyfill) or the better option IMO is Rite Size U from a pet/aquarium store.. you just cut it to size and stuff it...

    Is there another term used besides vaping?

    Oh yeah, I've been there (more than once). It's torture, pure and simple torture. I'd chew my own leg off before going that route again.

    What to give to my father

    I agree with above... but tell him that it's just a starter e-cig and when he's ready to go full bore that you have more in store for him.

    Is there another term used besides vaping?

    fair enough. I don't feel that I've accomplished any great feat by switching to e-cigs -- it was just too easy and too much fun to do.

    Is there another term used besides vaping?

    I like to say "e-smoking" quite a bit, but it's not entirely accurate is it....

    vapor harshness

    I wouldn't say it was an allergy to PG exactly, but PG does tend to have a lot more kick to it. VG has almost no kick at all. Most vapers end up liking a mix around 80%PG to 20%VG, many also like 70/30 or even 60/40. I'd recommend trying out some VG options and see how that strikes you.

    Maybe just this once you should check out as an anonymous customer (thereby avoiding having to enter your email and password) until you can figure out what went wrong. You don't have to have an account to order from them, you should be able to bypass it if you like. Good luck!
