    Quitting round two

    After years of not smoking, I started again at the end of August. There have been a few times over the last seven years, that I have smoked cigarettes. Anytime this had happened, I'd switch back to my vape. Usually within 24 hours of smoking, I could drop it, and go right back to the E cig. This...

    Quitting cigarettes again

    After around 7-8 years of vaping, I started smoking again. It happened Labor Day weekend. Some triggering, stressful, and highly irritating things went down. There have been a few times I've smoked before (since switching), but not for any amount of time. The gear I have right now isn't doing...

    Goodbye/Hello?

    It's been quite a while since I've posted here. Yesterday my beloved Provari died on me. This was my second V 2.5. As it's less than an year old I am looking into repairs. Which is apparently still possible even though Provape has closed up shop. I have no clue what to pick up next. This was the...

    Ever make a flavor you're afraid of?

    Tonight I made a super strong mint flavor. For the record, I've made a lot of mint flavors. Mint is my favorite and the recipe that I made is good. This new one is a spearmint/peppermint e liquid on steroids. To be honest I am excited & kind of afraid to try it. Anyone else here make a flavor...

    Three years came and went.

    In the beginning of September I hit the three year mark. This time around there was no need to reward myself. For all of you starting out: you can make the switch. Seriously, you got this. I was a one & a half - 3 PAD chain smoker for almost 20 years. For five years I chewed a can of straight...

    Promiscuous E cig

    The other day I got my MVP V1 back. It has been around the block...a lot. This thing has spent months away from home, and with many different people. It has helped convert several smokers. Anyone else here have a promiscuous P.V. / A.P.V. ? I hadn't put much thought into until the other day...

    Two years new hobbie

    It has now been two years since switching over :) I didn't really have the urge to buy anything. For a month now I've been nicotine free :) Never thought that day would come. During these two years I've been asked "Do those things really work?" more times than I can count. Yes they do really...

    Another dump on our parade via the media.

    I wanted to take a moment to share this www. nytimes .com/2014/03/24/business/selling-a-poison-by-the-barrel-liquid-nicotine-for-e-cigarettes.html Not sure if it's been posted here yet. More scare tactics and fear mongering. These non stop news articles really have me thinking the FDA is...

    Smoking youth. What would you do?

    The subject of people under the age of 18 and e cigarettes has been a topic on here before. I am bringing it up again. Sorry to keep swacking away on the dead horse, but I've got some questions.

    Addicted to the Addicts.

    Since I was in my teens addicts have fascinated me. Everyone it seems is addicted to something. This forum has been one of my all time favorite intranet sites. Nicotine addiction has to be one of the hardest addictions to overcome. Quite a few of us are still on the nicotine, but not the...

    One happy hick!

    Thank you for getting my provari fixed. Picked it up safe and sound at the local post office. Being out in the middle of nowhere with no web access made getting ahold of y'all a pain ;) Life has been very stressful and I really put the Provari to the test. I am not completely out of the woods...

    Clearo for VG?

    Hello :) Anyone here have any luck with VG eliquid, and clearos? Vaporized PG really irritates my throat. Wicking issues and constantly having to dry burn, is just flat out irritating. I am thinking going back to carto tanks is my only tank option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    A ? for people just starting.

    How much are you willing or wanting to take on? I know every person is different. Quite a few people dive right in. Just buy and try every thing. No way in H could I've done that. Mostly I just wanted my nicotine fix. Having to mess with a bunch of things would've and did piss me off. My...

    In need of a vivi nova master

    Ok the title is kind of dramatic. A couple months ago I finally started trying clearos. All was going well until I bought this aluminum vivi nova. The atomizer head just kind of teeters. No threads. Is that how it's supposed to be? I will post a picture of the turd in a bit. Is there anyway to...

    Ever had your pv attacked?

    As in a physical assault on your pv? Last week my pv was victim of a brutal attack. It involves a person (in-law) wanting to borrow money, and I had none to spare. The fore-mentioned person showed up at my house a few days later. Bringing over a tasty loaf of home made bread. Of course I thanked...
