    Vaping is cheating (apparently)

    This idea of "cheating" is one I ran into with my ex, as I mentioned; he seemed to think that if I didn't suffer, that was somehow cheating. I think I discerned a bit of that attitude in my mom too, but that seems more understandable in her case, since it took her 10 yrs of suffering and...

    Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

    and Trump has a nose, unlike the nameless one. :D Anyone who's raised any offspring in the last 15-20 yrs should know every character from Harry Potter. Those were some damn good books! :D Andria

    Ban on all forms of smoking on Maricopa County property

    It was my understanding that all gov't bldgs of any kind are automatically smoke-free. At least, in GA. A few counties in GA have passed no-vaping on the property too, but not a great many; GA is mostly pretty accepting of vaping. Andria

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

    I went from 10mg to 5mg between April and December 2015, very easily -- really I barely even noticed it, other than the milder TH. But it sure has helped my Popsicle Paws this winter! Mission accomplished, because that's really the only reason I cared about reducing my nic level. Now that I...

    Vaping is cheating (apparently)

    I dunno if that's really cheating. You don't really wish to be smoke-free right now, so vaping is working for you in the way that you want -- helping you limit your smoking to less-abusive levels. I think that's an entirely reasonable application of THR -- If you really wanted to be free of...

    HUD proposes smoking ban (and likely a vaping ban) at all public housing

    Well, all I can say to them about that is, hear that tiny violin, playing My Heart Bleeds For You? 'Cause they'll never get another dime of sin tax out of me -- quit drinking 23 yrs ago, quit smoking a year and a half ago. I make my own ejuice, and have 22-35 yrs worth of nicotine in my...

    So my doc doesn't like vaping

    Pretty much how I feel about diketones too. To me, it's an entirely avoidable risk, as I've never tasted any juice that contained diketones, to my knowledge, so I have no idea what I may be missing -- it's hard to be upset about something you don't know about! :D But it's just one of my...

    vaperstek nic

    Some of the TH nic I get is slightly pinkish; they say it's made by "controlled oxidation," so it stands to reason that sometimes it might be darker. Always just fine though; I've never smelled anything in particular from it. Andria

    The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

    I tried that at first, but the high VG disagreed with my breathing. I've been back to some blueberry this week; I kept trying sweet-vapes blueberry muffin again, end of 2014 it was my ADV, but it just never tasted that great after the strawberry & cream, but i FINALLY hit on the trick I used to...

    vaperstek nic

    I was using it first at 10mg, and I still had to add Flash to have enough TH. Now I use 5mg, and still add the Flash. this nic is really no different from what's available from ECX or WizLabs -- just cheaper. The liter I bought when they started this sale was perfectly clear. Andria

    So my doc doesn't like vaping

    Truer words were never spoken. I've always tended to the skeptical side with doctors, but when my OB/GYN once prescribed me an antibiotic that ended with -cillin -- despite that big red NO PENICILLIN sticker on my folder -- I lost every bit of blind faith in doctors. If they prescribe me...

    Vaping is cheating (apparently)

    No kidding! The very nerve of that :censored:, as if they're somehow ENTITLED to stick their hands in our pockets anytime they feel like it! As if just EXISTING means we owe them money! I don't THINK so! I started "cheating" them out of money when I quit drinking; now that I'm not smoking...

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

    Good analogy! I usually just say that I was prepared to smoke until it killed me; now I'm prepared to vape until I die, and it probably won't be vaping that kills me. :D Andria

    Vaping is cheating (apparently)

    I only forget to vape if I'm reading a REALLY!!!!!! good book. :D Really glad your friend is starting to be reasonable, Rose. Quitting smoking is such a worthwhile and difficult thing to do, we need all the help we can get, and it really doesn't matter how we get there -- just that we get...

    Eeek. Total Newb.

    You need more airflow if you're either sub-ohming or using high wattage; the higher airflow cools it so the wick doesn't burn; for that, you do need one of those wide "huff" tips; for mouth to lung, you need a narrower driptip. I think some folks may sub-ohm doing MtL, but it's not terribly...

    I don't know what tank you got, but if you want a little tighter draw than whatever it offers, you might check out the Subtank Mini; I've heard it can be tightened down pretty well. It's a Kanger, who make pretty decent tanks. And I think it's one that offers both replaceable coils, and a...

    We need a bigger boat.

    This, this EXACTLY. Just because you praise what the emperor is wearing... DOESN'T ACTUALLY PUT CLOTHES ON THAT NAKED SO-AND-SO! Can I REALLY be the only person IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES who remembers THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES????? That's truly sad. Those childhood fables are important...

    Things I still don't get - tootle puffer, sub-ohm, and ANTZ!

    Well... maybe just a little. :D But what I think she really meant was "psychopathic"... she just doesn't understand the difference between "psychotic" and "psychopathic"... which is really irrelevant, since I'm neither! :lol: But she is, very sadly, one of those people who is all surface and...
