    what did you smoke before you started vaping?

    Made me laugh. :D Back in my 'Camel days', I remember running out of cigs around 3:00am, and walk round trip to the 24 hour store - about a half mile each way. I walked exactly 'a mile for a Camel'. I hated having to go out, but not going was NOT an option! (I bet most of you know how it...

    Drinking booze while vaping

    Well, I can vouch for high PG causing sore tongue when I started vaping. It was terrible for about 3 weeks...then I changed to 50/50 PG/VG, and the tongue soreness cleared right up. Also I got headaches early on from vaping too much 24mg - nonstop vaping. These days, I DO like nonstop vaping...

    Do you consider yourself a non-smoker?

    I 'thought' I was a non-smoker after I had been vaping a year, but now that my doctor AND health insurance confirm that I'm a NON-SMOKER (in spite of knowing I vape), I KNOW I'm a non-smoker! If I had to choose between not being able to vape, or going back to analogs, I believe I'm now...

    Is the e cig a placebo !?

    I'm enjoying this thread! :thumbs: Not knowing is the 'deception' that occurs within a doctor/patient relationship. If we're going strictly by the definition of placebo, the question cannot be answered except by the physician conducting the experiment. Yet, when the OP asks 'whether or not an...

    Is the e cig a placebo !?

    Years ago, I purchased a plastic cig sized 'stick' with menthol, to be used as a substitute for smoking. It would provide a sensation of inhaling menthol on every drag, but it did nothing...NOTHING... to satisfy the urge to smoke. Eventually, I was holding the menthol inhaler in one hand and an...

    Is the e cig a placebo !?

    I love my quit analog banner!!

    yes ;) I might also mention, the expenses listed below my signature include two ego kits (and eliquid) I purchased as gifts for friends - including ALL shipping fees - so I'm keeping track of ALL expenses related to vaping. It's so GOOD to see all the new folks here! Yes...this technology...

    I love my quit analog banner!!

    I'm not sure about the banner, but you're right that it's extremely motivating...especially when the numbers go HIGHER! :) Before you lose track, I might suggest to also add a running total of your vaping expenses below your sig (see below my sig). I know to the penny how much I've SPENT, as...

    Chain Vaping Like a Fiend

    YES...the WTA eLiquid allowed me to vape much less! After about 4 months, I was FREE, and WTA was no longer a requirement. Now, I vape because I LIKE it, but I can go for hours at a time without nic (if necessary...and have gone for as long as TWO DAYS without a nic fit)! AMAZING 2 ME!! :blink:

    Chain Vaping Like a Fiend

    Vaping like a locomotive is very common! Like 'EIW' roared above, make sure your nic level is high enough in the beginning. If it's too low, you'll need to vape more and more. I started at 18mg, but only found success at 24mg; now I'm down to 6mg (not trying to go lower, but my 'body has...

    Vaping to quit smoking for health reasons?!?!

    I never viewed 'vaping' as a success or failure based on whether or not I 'switched' 100% to one or the other! It took me TWO YEARS to find the hardware (most important), nic strength (barely 2nd place on my list) and flavor (barely 3rd place) I preferred over an analog. After I made a 100%...

    WTA is the future

    I have 5 10ml bottles of Vapelicious WTA eLiquid in reserve, and just filled a clearomizer with Classic RY4 Xtra High WTA. Within about a minute, I felt a familiar sense of relaxation move over my being...and I'm thinkin NOW would probably be a good time for a short snoozeroo. ;) Snork, I...

    WTA is the future

    Hey guys, Interesting...I rarely use WTA anymore, but back in my early days, it gave me exactly what I needed to keep myself vaping. I no longer have ANY cravings at all (except for ice cream :blink:). I've been getting into DIY lately, but I'm sure it's because WTA finally gave me FREEDOM...
