    Lab Set up?!

    But how much is a cc? How does a cc relate to a ml? Andria

    Worried about lung damage

    So you've used 50% VG and 80% VG, and had the same issue -- have you not tried ANY higher PG ejuice? Because the problem you described sounds exactly like what quite a few of us have experienced when using too much VG for our bodies. I don't assume you're trolling; I got spanked for that...

    Worried about lung damage

    The thing about the doctor though -- while it would be a very good idea to try and rule out any sort of actual problem with your lungs, whether it be smoking-related or perhaps even some kind of infection, doctors in general aren't terribly well-informed about vaping, and some of them will...

    The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

    You could start gradually adding less and less of it to another ejuice. That's how I've gotten it down so low that now it's nearly gone -- no way could I have gone cold turkey on it, anymore than I could with cigarettes. I started dropping from the 10% I started at, at the first of 2015, each...

    Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

    I had one of those traumatic "OMG I have NOTHING TO READ!!!" episodes when my son was about 13; he handed me the first Harry Potter book and said "Read this!" Naturally at first I was all "That's a KID'S book!" but he assured me that the writing was top-notch, and also extremely funny, and I...

    We need a bigger boat.

    Both. :D Women seem to approach most things with more caution; (young) men's brains are so poisoned with testosterone, they fling caution to the winds to show how macho they are. :D Which is also why women get better auto insurance rates. :D Andria

    Worried about lung damage

    sweet-vapes.com offers customizable PG/VG levels, and ejuice down to 3mg, if you think you really need that little, but I'd agree, that isn't very much for such a heavy smoker. I had to start at 6mg because I smoked ultra-lights for the last 20+ yrs I smoked, and still vape 5mg -- and I smoked...

    Worried about lung damage

    It does sound like too much VG. That Puralite Gold apparently is 50/50, which is still a great deal of VG -- I have to vape 87% PG, or I can't breathe; in fact anything less than 80% PG, and I can't breathe AT ALL -- I used 85% for a while, but I still wheezed, so I went up to 87% PG, and it's...

    Ban on all forms of smoking on Maricopa County property

    Geez, I guess it has been that long, maybe even longer. Time really flies when you're having... a life. "Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?" Always liked the song, always hated how true it is. Andria

    Vaping and health

    Just goes to show you all the ways that smoking can wrap itself around our lives. What you *may* find is that even a very small amount of nicotine may at least *ease* some of the symptoms of colitis, and not smoking may allow you to exercise more, which may help the PAD somewhat -- a knife-edge...

    Dang, that's what got Patrick Swayze. That's one of the really bad ones, seems to have one of the highest mortality rates of ANY cancer. Andria

    Why do some people think you have to quit vaping after quitting smoking??

    Unless the vaper buys WTA and adds it to the vape. Before vaping, I don't think there was any way I would ever have gotten free of cigarettes, because there was no other way to get WTA, except smoking (or sticking tobacco in your mouth, which I WON'T do). It's never been about the nicotine to...

    Vaping is cheating (apparently)

    It *can* -- or it can make you bitter and vindictive, as he seems to be. Character can be built without suffering, if the intention is there. Andria

    We need a bigger boat.

    I thought that at first too; my relapse after my appendectomy taught me (once again, as if I didn't already know!) the value of "one day at a time." It's absolutely certain that I won't smoke today, thanks to vaping. I'll deal with tomorrow when it becomes today. :D Just one more application...

    Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

    I was completely bereft; he was also in Dogma (one of the best films EVER!!!), as the Metatron, and the head bad guy in the original Diehard, who kept calling Willis' character "cowboy" and thus inspired the "yippee ki yay" line. An amazing actor, one of those who can literally play ANYTHING...

    I dunno, I kinda like the connotation... "ENDS smoking." Works for me. :D Andria

    So my doc doesn't like vaping

    The principle is "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." In many things, an absence of evidence can lead to a fairly reliable inference -- or, it may simply mean that not enough time has gone by, or technology is not sufficiently advanced, in order to uncover the evidence...

    The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

    No, you're not; as much as I used to love my Kayfuns for their non-leakiness, when they sit unused for awhile with juice in them, they leak like crazy. Not sure where they're leaking *from* but all of mine do it. Andria
