    355,875 analogs later...I switched to vaping. How many did it take for you?

    A comment in another thread caused me to 'clackalate' how many analogs I smoked before I made the switch to vaping. I figure I probably averaged approximately 30 cigs per day for 32.5 years. 30 analogs per day X 365 days per year X 32.5 years = 355,875 analogs smoked YIKES!!! That's a...

    problems with evod coils

    I bought the kanthal and wick on EBAY and the cotton balls from CVS. So far, I like the flavor cotton imparts best (using Protank2), but I have to change the cotton wick almost daily, which is a pain. The wick doesn't carry the flavor as well as what came on the stock coil, so I'm still...

    Easier to Quit Vaping then Smokeing

    Add MY NAME to that list! When my roomie became extremely ill last year, I spent nearly 3 months with him at the hospital. Unable to conveniently vape, I simply did without for most of the time, and it was no problem at all. Likewise, when I was recently hospitalized in May, vaping never...

    Missing!! Have you seen my mod?

    If it's a MVP, I FOUND IT under the sofa cushions last week! :D (I think sofa cushions are probably where Gene Roddenberry got his ideas for 'Transporters'.)

    Am I The Only One Vaping Tobacco Flavored Juice?

    I never liked tobacco flavored vape, but recently I did a DIY of M-type tobacco flavor from TFA @ 4%. (I think it's supposed to be similar to marlboro analog flavor?) I'm vaping it now, and it's surprisingly good. Not flavorful, but not yucky. I seem to be treating it more like I did wihen...

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Xanax was suggested for the times when 'the stress' of being self-employed combined with 'the stress' of being a caretaker for a very, very sick friend make me crazy. I only take between .25 to .50 every few days...as needed. I'm generally sensitive to most drugs (including aspirin), so 'a...

    Vape-Palooza

    I was there last year and had a great time. I haven't heard about it for this year (until your post), but if I can swing the schedule, I'll be there, too. Although I DIY most of the time, I came home with about 20 bottles of e-liquid...plus about 100 samples - all gone now. :( I think...

    Don't Vape. Quit for Good.

    If i could vape nicorette, I'd probly give it a try again. It sure did NOT help me in the form of chewing gum. :)

    First attempt at Patina

    Sask, that's BEAUTIFUL! I had no idea something like THAT could be done. Does it work on Stainless Steel?

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Agreed. Hopefully, the FDA will also "find out" soon enough! :unsure:

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    NURSES were the very BEST to make me feel 'taken care of' when I was in the hospital...and when my roomie was there for 3 months last year. (He's still recovering from 27 days in ICU. Progress is slow, but it's still happening. Nurses took care of not only the patient, but also ME when I was...

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    I just call'em "Nanny wannabes." You mentioned St. Joseph hospital in Atlanta, so we're close. I just remembered...when I was in the hospital this past May, it NEVER OCCURRED to me that I wanted or needed 'a vape'...cuz I did NOT need it. WHOA!!! That's BIG! Never could have said THAT if I...

    Thanks for the chart! I printed it out. :D

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Agreed! Plus, just keeping up with the latest trends in hardware should keep our minds active and agile well into our 2nd or 3rd century! ;)

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Thanks for reminding me. I DIY, so will make up some 3mg to see how that works for me...and I'll do it today. :)

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    No reason to expect them, either! No 'copycats' allowed...except when it comes to vaping gear. ;) Great report! Still, at our age, please do be conscious of overdoing it on the workout run. 14 years ago, my fav uncle kicked the bucket at 60, with an aortic blowout while running in Central Park...

    1-Month Anniversary!

    ONE MONTH is OUTSTANDING! It took me FOREVER (it seemed) to achieve my first month...but I did it eventually. It was the first anniversary of many...and many yet to come! Heck, I celebrate EVERYDAY with a 'Hello World Vape'! One day at a time...that's the way. CONGRATZ!! :D

    problems with evod coils

    I recently bought 25 Evod coils, and have gone through all of them already. Like you, I used to get several weeks per coil, but here lately it's not the same. So...I bought some 32 gauge kanthal, wick, yarn and organic cotton balls, and have started rebuilding my coils. The result? I'm still...

    ? Regarding Nic level & new equipment

    Ditto all folks above! Yes, yes, yes, yes and YES! :D (better hardware made ALL the difference, for ME. ;))

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Yep. Cardiologists seem to have a good understanding about the benefits of vaping over 'the alternative'. I don't know why that surprises me so much, but it does. My brother (20 years younger) also had an experience with A-Fib in June. The ER put paddles on his chest and SHOCKED him back into...
