    How easy was it for you to change from analogues to vaping?

    I understand the sentiment...been there. If it helps, I consider WTA 'the bridge' that kept me vaping in my weakest moments (3 to 4 months into vaping fulltime). I can't tell when WTA was no longer necessary to keep me from smokin again, but over a period of about 6 months, I simply began vaping...

    Those panic attacks are the worst!

    How easy was it for you to change from analogues to vaping?

    Using a Joye 510 cig-a-like, I was unable to make the switch, though I tried for almost 2 years (starting in 2009). Yet, in 2011 when I upgraded my hardware to Ego batts and CE2s, and raised the nic from 18mg to 24mg, I completely made the switch within 24 hours. The 'cravings' were pretty bad...

    "money saved" banners

    Just keep track of your expenditures in your own sig. Every time I buy something related to vaping, I add it to the total amount spent (including vaping gifts to friends). :)

    Well, I dropped the $$

    Good 4 U! :thumbs: Whatever amounts you pay at the beginning, will surely come back as significant savings later on. My REAL expenditures are tracked in my sig. After almost 20 months of vaping, I can afford a Provari if I want it...along with a week long vacation with my family, in a beach...

    One month today!

    HUGE CHEERS for ALL of ya! With good hardware and flavors you like, you'll continue doing great! :thumbs: I remember my 1st month anniversary, and I still celebrate every additional month. Being able to quit smoking so easily is nothing short of a miracle for me. :) (My anniversary date is the...

    Does anyone remember thier first time vaping?

    I DO! December 18, 2009. I had just received my first PV purchase; a Joye 510 cig-a-like with auto battery. I charged the battery, loaded my carto with eliquid and took a small drag into my mouth...held it a moment. inhaled, then blew a light cloud into the air. My first thought was..."THIS...

    Ever had one of THOSE days? I'm having one of those WEEKS! (gay snit inside)

    Based on the thread title, I entered under the assumption that Bubba is 'gay'. If so, then I got what I expected. If not, then I agree with you.

    Safe to keep juice in my viv nova for awhile?

    Should be fine, WC. :) I have 3 Vivi Novas going everyday...and I usually fill all of them up every morning. Yet, some flavs I don't particularly like will sometimes stay in the Vivi Nova for 2 weeks till it's gone. No prob on this end.

    Do we really save money?

    In my sig below, I keep track of my total expenses related to vaping (including two gifted kits). Compared with my estimated costs if I had continued smoking analogs, I'm doin' purdy good! :) It's also worth noting that my estimated costs (had I continued to smoke) are based on cig prices of...

    What's This Sticky Residue In My Nostrils?

    My suggestion is to taste a drop of your eliquid, then eat a booger to compare flavor. If they taste the same, it's probably juice residue. Otherwise, itsnot. :blink: :D

    Usage and handling? (Vivi nova)

    Hi Cyberg... For a 'full' tank, keep the level just below the place where wicks go into the metal tube, to the coil. I prefer a 'full' tank on my Vivi Novas, cuz it gives the best vape experience IMHO. However, if you want to use less juice, maybe try only 1/3 full. I've had heads last as...

    TFA Bacon (Deli Smoked) or Bacon?

    The TFA 'Dill Pickle' is actually quite pleasant, and has a gentle 'Dill' flavor, like the spice. I like it about once a month, but it's pretty good. As for the 'Pizza', it amazingly DOES taste like pizza...with Italian sausage and Parmesan cheese. Even so, I don't like it by itself, but in...

    TFA Bacon (Deli Smoked) or Bacon?

    Just to be clear, the Sassafras is a separate vape from the Blackberry/Champagne. :) 8 to 10% Sassafras in 50/50 PG/VG is my fav ADV. For the Blackberry/Champagne, I also add a wee bit of TFA 'Sour' (2 to 4%). Sorta gives it that grapey whang on my taste buds.

    TFA Bacon (Deli Smoked) or Bacon?

    GAGGERS Jakersvape! Well...I reckon I'll pass on the 'bacon' for now. :blink: Truly, the 'Hickory Smoke' flav is excellent IMHO. I'll be ordering a BIG bottle next time! :) I'm also a hawg about TFA 'Blackberry (mixed with TFA Champagne) and Sassafras'. Still looking for a good 'Cola'.

    TFA Bacon (Deli Smoked) or Bacon?

    I have not tried it, because I couldn't find 'bacon' flavor when I last ordered from TFA. I love the 'smoke' flavor so much that my stash is gone :( until I reorder. Based on your comment, I reckon I better order the 'bacon' flavor, too. Yes?
