    Morning vaping and coughing/throat irritation

    I had this nearly every day until I lowered my nic amount. Nicotine does irritate the throat/the mucous linings (AFAIK) and a sudden blast of it in the morning following 8+ hours of not having any can be irritating. for me it wasn't the PG/VG ratio (I experimented with that first), although I...

    Cigarette Dreams....

    I had cigarette dreams all the time when I was quit (five years). I'd have at least two a week, I'd say. Usually they involved trying to find a place where I could smoke, or searching for a lighter or matches. ETA: Oh, yeah...since I started vaping one year ago, I've had only one vaping dream...

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend.

    I remember my first cigarette too. I was 15. I had grown up in a cloud of smoke but had never considered doing it myself...then in a moment of frustrated teenage angst I decided to secretly "get back at everybody" by having a cigarette. It wasn't hard to steal one of my mom's, she had packs in...

    My mom weakly raged about "one more cig price hike and I'll stop" all the way until age 53, when, most likely, a combination of menopause pharmaceuticals with her 2.5-pack a day habit (which had been shown to dramatically increase cardiovascular events) dropped her with an aneurism, she never...

    Yeah, my Daddy said that every step of the way up in price too, until he got some fierce indefinable raging infection they loosely diagnosed as "pleurisy" and lost the majority of one lung. Amazingly, he lived for 20 more years...largely crippled, but he lived.

    Well...to be truthful about it, a lot of those former smokers ARE dead, as are many others. Social Security depends, in fact, in a large part upon a certain percentage of the population being dead before they reach an age where they would begin to receive it.

    Ugh. Hyper-Vaping

    I guess on the plus side, it's quite productive to have so much nic floating around the old system. So far this morning I did all my work-work (I write for a living), cleaned the entire house, set up for a Halloween party this afternoon, made treats as well as examples for the kids to do...

    Ugh. Hyper-Vaping

    Ugh...having a day where I CAN NOT put the stick down. I'm even getting "hyper" but I still can't seem to put the thing down... I hate vaping this way. I like going through my day, casually at some point picking up the stick, drawing niiiiiiice and smooth, putting it down feeling satisfied. Not...

    Do you find vaping attractive?

    Ummm...guys. I'm getting the feeling it's not so much the vaping as, well, the girls. I mean call me crazy, but beautiful girls sucking on things has kind of already been a selling point among the majority of men. Well, at least since...the pre-Bronze age. (Not sure about farther back than...

    AH HA HA HA! (dyin') I'm thinking of Dana Carvey's "grumpy old man" character who would tell all these horrifying tales of childhood and would finish everything with "and we LIKED it!" Going to run off to see if I can find a clip of that... ETA: ha ha, here we go.

    Serious question, what would make a new vaper go back to normal cigarettes?

    I think that's understandable, techtony, and by the way, we thank you.

    Uh, yeah right, Ken. (chuckling softly to self and shaking head)

    Yeah, the shop or restaurant person would come over and scream at you because you were "going to break them." I was fascinated with those things too and the fact that nothing ever came of me pulling them (without a quarter to put in them) never seemed to stop me. God I feel old. "When I was a...

    Well, we DID die. Our parents slapped us around until we came back to life and then they put a couple quarters into our hands and sent us out for more cigs. "Don't you DARE fake death just to get out of doing errands! Now get on that bike!"
