    One Week Analogue Free

    I think the sore throat is at least partially dehydration. I saw a lot of people talking about sore throats (and dry mouth and dry skin) before I started vaping and have experienced it myself. Mine went away when I made a strict rule: if I'm only taking a puff or two, I owe myself a sip of water...

    I smell better, car still stinks though...

    I had good luck with bamboo charcoal.

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

    It wasn't much more than a week. I couldn't afford it, and it was making me pretty sick. And yeah, it was chain-smoking and sometimes smoking more than one at a time, pretty much all day every day. Not saying it wasn't a messed-up thing to do, or that I'm proud of it. It's just that cigarettes...

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

    I was having a really bad week. Really bad. * Fired from job under suspicion of theft because my manager took out $100 during my lunch break and didn't leave a slip * Diabetic best friend / roommate had to go to emergency room (leaving me suspiciously absent from work after lunch, leading to...

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

    New brand... I like that! I had to be really careful not to imply to myself that I couldn't have tobacco any more, or I'd have just gone out and chain-smoked half a pack. Something in me is just that perverse and contrarian. But if I'd been better able to squarely face the idea that I was...

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

    I got it from vapor4life.com - I don't think I can link yet, but it's in their 5 ml liquids catalog as "Mount Do". I can't find it in the 30ml size, which will make my friend very sad. I thought it tasted like grapefruit, but I may have had traces of spearmint lingering in my atomizer. She...

    New to vaping!

    Flavors... I've been vaping for a week today, and I'm flavor-mad. Check out totallywicked-eliquid.com's Decadent Vapours for a treat - more expensive than most of the other liquids I've seen but the flavors sound so fascinating. Not that I've tried any yet, mind - they're just now in the mail to...

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

    This is pretty much why I wrote up the whole story instead of just "Hi, I'm new, wanna post my newbie quota, bye!" - it really was so easy it was almost literally an accident to quit analogs by vaping. All I had to do was be willing to go along with it, and keep my pigheaded rebelliousness from...

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

    Not exactly, yet, but that's mostly my fault. I was originally going to give her this Volcano I'm puffing on right now. The Volcano kit arrived last Wednesday, but she couldn't come visit until the weekend. I had planned to use the interval to get the battery and PCC charged and the atomizer...

    CaptJay: great name/pic/location! Loved Torchwood. SO sad they killed it in the UK to sell it to Fox. Does nobody remember the atrocity that resulted from Fox licensing Doctor Who? *shudder*

    Has anyone else notice a decrease in appetite?

    Two good points. Nicotine is a known appetite suppressant, like most stimulants. And I don't know if it's more nicotine, necessarily, or a difference in variance of nicotine levels through the day, or both - depends on what you smoked and what you vape. I've definitely had less appetite since...

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

    These forums have been absolutely invaluable the last couple of weeks. I actually started researching ecigs for a friend who really wanted to turn an enforced cigarette hiatus (hospital stay) into a successful quit, but returned to smoking. She'd tried an "e-cigarette" but found it didn't kill...
