    Weight

    Call me paranoid, but a part of me thinks that the mantra of "you're going to gain weight if you quit smoking" is actually perpetrated by the tobacco industry to keep us smoking. I mean, think about it. Yes, your habits will change, etc. But most likely if you have been a smoker for a long...

    Don't like pre-filled carts, what hardware do I need for other option?

    Hmm...I guess they could still be wet inside! And I didn't know boiling could kill them, it was a method I saw on a youtube video. I will try all of your suggestions and see if that fixes my used carto issue. Then I will try new blank ones. And thanks for the info about the Reo, I will...

    Don't like pre-filled carts, what hardware do I need for other option?

    Thanks Drozd. I need to read up more on 'dripping'. But I also thought I read that there's another mod you can use that has a direct juice hook-up? Know anything about that?

    Don't like pre-filled carts, what hardware do I need for other option?

    Hey all. I've been vaping a few weeks now and am committed to it (no more analogs). I started with the Vapor4Life Vapor King UU set so I'd have all the bells and whistles. I've ordered quite a variety of cartomizers since then and a friend of mine sent me a huge sampler from her own stock so I...

    1st attempt to vape in public place........

    Interesting counterpoint about using one that does NOT look like a cigarette. People are less likely to think you are smoking. I don't know, I guess I shouldn't be afraid to start vaping out in public. I just got so used to being 'condemned for being a filthy smoker' (get out your torches and...

    1st attempt to vape in public place........

    I haven't tried at all yet. I think there's not enough information out there. I've only vaped in my car and even then I get nervous when I pass a cop, because I wonder, "do they know what this is"? Or is this officer going to pull me over because he thinks I'm smoking crack or something? LOL. I...

    Heart Burn?

    I ran across this issue on the Health Sub-Forum. Seems heartburn is a side affect of vaping but it appears to clear up after a few months. Since I already have acid reflux this symptom is not new to me. More water and pop a little heartburn pill if necessary.

    Vapor 4 Life

    I've been using them too. I have been happy with their service. Some of their carts though, were not so good. I had a bad experience with their Rootbeer Float, Pomegranate, and Espresso. As for the first two the carts seemed bone dry. There was NO flavor and NO vapor. I complained to them...

    Don't give up on Vaping!

    True, Poeia, some of us will still be getting nicotine unless we switch to the 0nic juices or carts. But since we're on that subject, I've read enough info to believe that nicotine ALONE is no more harmful than caffeine. There's a great video on youtube, I can't submit the link but search...

    Don't give up on Vaping!

    Just thought I'd post this. I've been perusing this thread and since it is for New Users, there are alot of 'newbies' struggling to make the crossover. Although my friend, whom I introduced to e-cigs, immediately quit analogs on Day 1, it took me 2-3 weeks of getting used to my e-cig before I...

    Skin breakouts on the 9th day

    I had a HORRIBLE breakout after 2 weeks of vaping. I had 3 giant monsters on my face. For anyone coming across this, here's what you do; 1 - increase your water intake 2 - steam your face until your pores open 3 - wash with a cleanser that has a gentle exfoliant (exfoliant is important) 4 -...

    Vaping and World of Warcraft! Does it get any better?! I think not!!

    OMG, this cracks me up. I used to play WoW for hours upon hours, and it seemed like gaming made me want to smoke MOAR! So although I was a pack a day smoker, when I had a heavy gaming session I could go through a whole pack in 8 hours. It was disgusting, in my small little office, the smell of...

    Bladder cancer

    Buffaloe, I am so sorry to hear of your cancer. But glad you caught it early. Please keep on top of that to make sure it's all gone. I am sure you don't need to hear that from me but I have to say it. I had cervical cancer when I was 27. Congratulations on giving up analogs. Best of luck to you!

    Doubts..

    You know as of now I am more concerned about a potential FDA ban or outrageous tax being added that I am of the health concerns. Because hell, we KNOW smoking cigarettes is very dangerous! The only concern I had was for the propylene glycol but I tend to research something of interest to death...

    Possible harm / esophagitis / allergy ???

    Ok I am not a doctor. BUT I do also suffer from acid reflux. I think that is the main culprit to your problem. My cousin also suffers from acid reflux and he had the same symptoms as you described (he is a non-smoker). He couldn't eat for weeks and dropped alot of weight. I have given up...

    Any other singers out there?

    Singer here too. Can't tell you my results yet as I've just started vaping about 2 weeks ago, and off analogs for 1 week. But I do know that smoking analog cigs had a profound affect on my stage stamina, that is, I feel short of breath. I also noticed an increased 'huskiness' to my voice...
