    Half a Year!!!

    So our six month anniversary for e-cigs came up two days ago, and I have to say I feel great! Living in a smoke free home is pretty awesome. I don't wake up with that ashtray taste in my mouth, and there are times that I can put down my PV for a while. I have been slowly pushing down the nic...

    Finally Catching the 'Curve'

    This has been a VERY good week for me DIY-wise. I developed a couple of new flavors that have made it in my 'Keepers' book. I can't thank the people that have helped me learn DIY from the vendors I shop for the flavors from to the kind folks that are members here on ECF. Y'all are the best...

    Vaping and Bacon? (Aka 'The Debil Done It)

    One of my very worst fears about quitting smoking has come true, but not for the normal reason. Putting down cigarettes is the best thing I have done for myself since - well, let me think here... Okay, so I can't think of anything truly better for myself I have ever done. Hands down, quitting...

    Four months is awesome! Congrats on going that far. :) Having read further ahead in your blog, I am posting here, because I wanted to tell you that you are doing great. You are a wonderful addition to the ECF community, Raynen. Here is to hoping that as you get healthier you will feel better and...

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in '02.13.2011. satURday. Joye Ego-T After Two Weeks. It Still Doesn't Leak!'

    I have to agree as well. I think this system would be awesome for most new people coming into the use of ecigs, as well as many seasoned vapers. BLISS!

    Five Months Down :)

    It has been five months now since I started vaping and leaving analogs behind. It's been a good five months, too. My breathing is to levels it has not been since I was a teen, and i found I can sing and exert myself without panting and puffing. My singing voice is not as scratchy or tortured...

    Major Fail! :(

    :cry: I feel so guilty. For the past week I have had HUGE analog cravings. I don't know why. My stress level was high, but then again it usually is. And I finally gave in and bummed an analog off my mother tonight. She warned me they were not 'fresh'. I don't think it would have mattered if they...

    Last Post of 2010

    It's official. Colds suck big time. I have not been able to taste any of my vapes since Christmas Day. I can feel menthol (and yes it DOES help a little), but that's about it. I had to dedicate one of my cartos to the menthol. I know I ought to go ahead and mix an unflavored juice just for times...

    I sure hope it gets better Raynen! I experienced going through my first illness while vaping... Found that menthol really can help a lot in clearing messed up sinuses. Go figure. Vape on, hun, and find the best flavors. :)

    Time Goes Too Fast

    Here we are only two weeks from Christmas. Where did 2010 go?! I've been working all week... Five days down, and only two to go. That's why I have been largely silent, even to those I have been regularly talking to/messaging. These long weeks drag on me by Thursday... Had to do some DIY last...

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in 'How To Protect The E2 R4 Flimsy Blue Needle Tips'

    Very innovative! I am definitely going to use that method. I am on my third needle tip. Drives me crazy to put one in my Ego case and when I go to fill a carto, it's been bent. :(

    Congrats to your friend! And if you think 30 ml bottles are big, the 120 ml bottles are ginormous! The level never seems to go down.. LOL Good thing I like the flavor. You go girl, get you your vape on. :)

    Oh Poo

    A couple of nights ago I mixed a 30 ml bottle of my very favorite juice. I gave it 24 hours to sit, something I did not allow the original 10 ml to do before trying it. The original was sweet and good and awesome from first vape and right on through over a week later. I was so excited. I could...

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in 'Coolies :)'

    :) I am a definite hobbyist. I crochet (when my hands let me - what is your fave medium, yarn or thread?), cross stitch, read, manipulate computer graphics, write (for fun and profit), and the list could go on, but DIY is so much fun!!! So I broke the fact I didn't HAVE to play and played...

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in 'Diacetyl... You Ruin Vaping...'

    Raynen, if you are concerned, why don't you contact your juice supplier directly? They can answer your questions, that is if they are reputable. Go ahead and put your mind at rest, hun, so you can either enjoy your vape or move on to another juice. :) Waffle vape and morning coffee sounds...

    Coolies :)

    I mixed up a few bottles of DIY juice a little over a week ago and made a note to myself: set a specific time each week to DIY. As I was reorganizing my cabinet the other night, I realized something wonderful: I have enough juice to last quite a long while even without DIYing for a time. My mom...

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in 'I'm sitting here just saying...."Wow!"'

    Sing it, hun. Sing it loud, long, and proudly. I missed singing almost more than anything else while I was a smoker, and I am now starting to even sing in the shower again. :) Isn't it wonderful to lift up your voice and hear real music rather than an unsavory croak? Congrats, Cin.

    Comment by 'sapphyre' in 'Day 21... The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'

    I agree with WomanOfHeart. This post made me grin. On the flip side of your food taste problem, I have found I am much less picky than anyone I know because it seems like EVERYTHING tastes better (therefore the reason I need to go on a diet before I blow up to gigantic proportions...). And yes...
