    7 month vaperversary two days ago

    Only gets easier from here. good job! I have one every now and then (dont know why guess for comparisions sake) but I dont miss them each time I do and get mad at myself for even subjecting myself to it. But the good thing is that I know I can walk away from it where as before that 1 you just...

    understanding dual coils

    Well, attys are cheap enough to be replaced and even cheaper if you rebuild them if your into that...I try to make a habbit of switching my attys at 2 weeks sometimes 3, but Im also not puffing on it all day. But for me, I can do without the dual coils. TH is whats important to me than clouds...

    Any former smokers craved a cig?

    I have one every now and again, most recently yesterday as I had a few drinks...and I really didnt enjoy it that much, the taste was awful and the smell on my fingers bothered me to no end...plus I kinda felt guilty for having one. I guess the one positive take away is that it seems that I dont...

    Running and vaping?

    I remember seeing this a few years back in this thread. From what I recall, most people did find an overall improvement in lung function however I think it also depended on what you vaped too. Some people get a "heavy lung" feeling with higher VG ratios (or at 100% VG), and/or if you vape...

    Total and Utter Dry Mouth

    If I would to wager a guess, I would say PG is the culprit. Ive been trying different levels to find my happy place. I was doing a 50/50 and boy would I be itchy all over, I would get dry skin, along with getting canker sores in my mouth. I do hydrate throughout the day with water and while...

    Best Canadian made e-liquid?

    thought I'd chime in, Ive met the guy the runs jiffy nic, he is really cool. They have a whole whack of flavors to try from. My only issue is that majority is 50/50 and I prefer less PG...I mean I hate it, but need a little in there to thin out the VG. Prices are a bit on the high side at...

    Vaping and Throat Cancer?

    That is amazing news! Good on you mate! Its definatley a wake up call to hear something like that at such a young age. One thing Id like to recommend in your diet is flax seed oil. It apparently has some great anti cancer effects. Its great that you are clear now, but think of it as...

    Possible WTA reaction

    Thought Id chime in. I tried WTA liquids a year or so ago, and actually posted something in this section of the forum. I remember being a down right utter ..... while I was vaping it. I was lucky enough to realize (with my wifes help) that I was very "angry" and remember asking myself why am...

    Scary anxeity and I don't know why...

    As BigEgo, I myself have dealt with my fair share of Panic and Anxiety issues for about 15 years, a lot of which stem with some early child hood stuff. I have been on and off of smoking for the last 10 years or so most recently starting in August of '13 from almost a 4 year run without...sad...

    Chest Congestion

    id def try no flavor and see. while the jury is still out on if vaping is any less harmful or not, i think adding flavors to the mix doesnt help, as boring as that is...just my opinion of course.

    Revisiting old topic, losing my marbles

    hey thanks for the reply. the problem i have with PG, is that almost always when i use it, even in as little as a 75/25 vg/pg ratio, my mouth breaks out in canker sores, and i know its not a quit smoking thing, it still happens if i try it today, 3 years after quiting. as for the wta juice, i...

    Revisiting old topic, losing my marbles

    Hello vapping community! Been a while since Ive posted on here. Been great reading up on people's success stories of quitting smoking, and its even cooler seeing people in my everyday life that Ive never discussed vaping with using an ecig! (like people working in my office building) Anyway...

    Weird Observation, or losing my marbles...

    Yes, but this was happening before the pain killers. Im not to happy about taking them either, but this last extraction has been quite painful.

    Blood Pressure and Vaping

    that number seems alright. Ive always been borderline high, 135/85ish but the lower number is apparently more important. I could stand to loose 10-15 pounds though and I do have sleep apnea which will contribute to higer blood pressure. I assume your 135/73 is while you're on your meds? What...

    Weird Observation, or losing my marbles...

    Could be nic withdrawl. I remember the first time I ever quit smoking. People said I was down right miserable for a couple of weeks. Ive been hearing about these juices with Alkaloids in them, but I always find that the strength of these are quie high more than I want to vape at...plus being...

    Weird Observation, or losing my marbles...

    Hi All, Wanted to bounce this idea off some of you. I've been noticing that I get extremly irritable, and it seems to happen more when I vape. I dont vape all the time. Sometimes I go a week without it, no problem. But being a former smoker, you get that itch/craving and thats when I would...

    Hensei's medical journal [throat issues]

    Unfortunatley, thats just the way it goes. My wife hates the fact that I vape, even though I tell her that it keeps me off of cigarettes, but from their point of view, when you're not feeling right and the only thing you can point to is vaping as its the only thing new or different, its hard to...

    Hensei's medical journal [throat issues]

    I totally believe that to much of a "good thing" is bad. I think people in general over vape. I trully think that we over indulge when it comes to vaping. It doesnt smell, you dont have to go outsite, its "safer" and next thing you know you're at it like a pacifier... I mean its so easy to...
