    Juice flavors that DONT need to be invented!!!

    I would try Pencil Shavings or Mimeograph Fluid in a heartbeat. Roast Beef is actually kind of addictive, and the only way I can get myself to eat anything these days. Rose is really very good, but it's not so much the "rose perfume" scent/flavor - which has always reminded me of insecticide -...

    New vaper, possibly accidentally-on-purpose ex-smoker

    Well-put! I feel like I've entered a second phase of vaping now - for the first few days, it was just something I did instead of smoking. I vaped cigarette-shaped devices in cigarettish intervals at habitual cigarette-break times. Then I managed to kill all my atomizers and in desperation picked...

    New vaper, possibly accidentally-on-purpose ex-smoker

    Wow. Thanks DC2, and everyone else who's complimented my writing! I waited to reply until I could contact my friend and get her permission as well, since her story is integral to my own, to understanding how sincerely I mean that I never set out with the intention to quit and all that says...

    New to vaping and loving it

    Yeah... but then, I thought I'd gone completely insane my first 2 weeks with the trial-size juices and spare equipment, until I realized I'd only really spent a month's analog-cigarette money on it. So naturally, I promptly spent another month's, just on juice. Then I had to go get a...

    ...Thermos of tea spilled on the floor of the TARDIS. (Too eclectic? nahhhh. :p)

    walked into my first e cig store

    Seems like Austin would be the place to find one, doesn't it? Something that would keep Austin both weird and smoke-free would be right in line. Not very central for Texas, but there's a headshop in Houston (Smoke Dreamz) that has a small collection of PV stuff - cartridges, atomizers, and a...

    When your driving

    Sidesho batteries do work with Volcano attys; they make the whole assemblage the size of a 100 instead of a king, still well sized to keep in the watch pocket of my jeans. The Volcano batteries seem to die too quickly on me, but the Volcano attys are half the price of Sidesho, so that's actually...

    Surprising results from quitting smoking

    Great news, congratulations! I've experienced weight loss since I started vaping, too. I think part of it is that my nicotine level doesn't fluctuate as much; I take one or two puffs every 15-30 minutes instead of a whole cigarette every hour or two, so my nicotine level doesn't drop low enough...

    Side-effects from switching off "analogs"

    Torrid: congrats! You're in for a fun ride. Keep your mind on the comfort, convenience, and tasty tasty flavors. Don't stress about quitting, just enjoy this other thing that's easier and more fun. There's a decent chance it will make smoking obsolete for you; even if it doesn't, it will make...

    Two Weeks Smoke Free! A Miracle

    So very true! Smokers are so accustomed to the idea that quitting smoking is inherently traumatic - failure is embarrassing and discouraging, but often enough success feels even worse. It's like the minute you decide to quit, you're in a no-win situation. The idea of a quit plan that isn't...

    I am ready to quit but before I do...

    Hi Wishbone! I have only found one tobacco-flavored liquid that tasted like smoking a cigarette - Vapor4Life's "Parliament" flavor. However, there are several liquids that taste like a freshly-opened pack of Brand X smells, and even though I haven't smoked Marlboros in years - I had to switch...

    E-liquid

    V4L has several of their flavors in VG as well as PG, although I don't remember if they have it in the 30ml or only in 5ml. But that could be a way to have the flavors you liked from them in a thicker form. Totally Wicked has some mix-your-own kits that you can order with PG, VG, or PEG (about...

    My name is Steven

    Thanks for posting the link and the encouragement! I'm pretty sure I'll be inhaling something or other for life, and never thought I would manage to quit cigarettes until I started vaping, so the thought of bans makes me kind of panicky. (Well, panicky too, but maybe "violent" is a better word...

    Do you think nicotene is a permanent addiction?

    I think there's a lot of truth in inheriting a tendency to addiction, rather than inheriting a specific addiction itself. But personal anecdote also supports the idea of inheriting a nicotine addiction. I remember being very young, maybe 4 or 5, and saying that anyone who started smoking was...

    New vaper, possibly accidentally-on-purpose ex-smoker

    *sigh* That spearmint was my go-to flavor. I have 30ml coming today or tomorrow, though. English toffee? *whimper* I'll put it on the list of desserts to inhale, thanks! (Num num num... I may never snack again.)

    All new members This is important

    Signed, confirmed, Facebooked, Twittered. Print copies going out this week. I've asked that any nonsmoker friends/family who want to congratulate me on quitting read some of the info themselves and consider signing in lieu of just saying "I'm proud of you!" and "It's about time!". (Nonsmokers...

    New vaper, possibly accidentally-on-purpose ex-smoker

    So for those who were curious about the outcome... I took my friend her new kit last night, and packed up all my accessories and sample-size juices in a lunchbox for her to try, and we hung out for a few hours. I showed her how to pull to get good vapor and warned her about getting liquid in...
