    I gotta work on my approach ...

    I don't see many "vapers in the wild" where I live, mostly because I don't get out much ... :( But tonight I realized at 11 PM that I had no milk for the Fruit Loops in the morning, and was forced to unseal the front door ... :ohmy: Went around the corner to a 24 hour gas station, the kid...

    Three Year Vapaversary ... WooHoo !

    For the sake of accuracy, I had to stay up after midnight to start this thread. We all need some positive content in view of recent events ... :) Still can't quite believe how easy it was to kick a 46 year smoking habit three years ago. The longest I ever went before was a month. 30 days of...

    "Centre for Drug Misuse Research" Survey

    Got the email from CASAA encouraging vapers to take this online survey called “Your Perceptions and Experiences of Using Electronic Cigarettes” ... Kind of a long survey, but most of the questions seemed reasonably relevant, only a couple of them were awkward, couldn't really give the answer I...

    Ovale Elips Deal

    OK, I've posted a few times before about the Ovale Elips C, and heard crickets chirping in the background ... :D But the price from Ovale USA has dropped dramatically sometime in the past few weeks, I just noticed this today ... The starter kit was not cheap, a couple of years ago it was going...

    My car was vandalized ...

    This week I noticed that the California registration sticker on my rear license plate was missing. Again (third time in 5 years) ... :mad: Not stolen, just scraped off and the shreds left on the pavement, too damaged to restore it. I had sliced it into several sections, as recommended by CHP...

    San Diego Trolley Vaping Ban

    Couldn't find an open thread on San Diego bans, the city council lumped vaping with smoking last year, old news ... It took almost a year for the Metropolitan Transit System to jump on the bandwagon ... E-Cigarettes Banned From San Diego Bus, Trolley Stations | KPBS Anyone who rides the MTS...

    Two Years Smoke-Free Today !

    Yup, two years since I set fire to a tobacco tube, after 46 years of a 2 pack-a-day habit starting at age 14 ... My dentist in Mexico gave me a cigalike after pulling two molars on May 10th 2013, it worked for me from day one ... I am a practiced stealth vaper, enjoy my new hobby everywhere...

    Where can I find Ovale Elips replacement batteries ?

    I love my Ovale Elips, got four of them still working, and lots of spare tanks and Type A atomizers, will need new batteries soon ... But I lost my best source for replacement batteries at a reasonable price, they sadly closed up shop ... :( Joytech wants $29.95 each, that's a bit steep for me...

    Halo Points

    Just ordered Sub-Zero and Malibu for free essentially, had accumulated 2000 points ... These days, I pretty much vape just Sub-Zero, Malibu, and HX3 ... :thumbs: $5.95 for USPS box shipping, totally worth it ... Free stuff always tastes so much better, like a really good meal at a friend's...

    Anyone else seen this 2012 documentary about the FDA approval process for experimental cancer drugs ? Fight to Live (2012) - IMDb Its hard to watch, made me sad and furious at the same time ... If you have a Roku, its free on the "popcornflix" channel under "New Arrivals", and also on Amazon...

    Found a favorite T-shirt yesterday ...

    Digging around in my closet yesterday, I found an old favorite black T-shirt, haven't worn it in well over a year ... It had been washed last when I was still smoking, then hung up behind some winter stuff ... Put it on, went to run some errands, and was standing in line when I noticed a...

    Its My Vapiversary !

    One year tobacco free :rickroll:, after 46 years of a 2 pack a day habit ... Had two molars extracted last May in preparation for dental implants, couldn't smoke for the next few days (too painful), and got by on Njoys recommended by my dentist ... Graduated quickly to Egos and clearomizers...

    Email From White Cloud ...

    Guess I'm on their mailing list, I've ordered Flings and Minis before as giveaway "vaping conversion gifts" ... They're promoting something called "Invisa-Vapor", a carto that is probably 100% PG, I suppose. Here's the pitch ... Has any vendor openly endorsed stealth vaping before, and...

    Amtrak and PVs

    Anyone who rides an Amtrak train knows that the conductors routinely make a scripted public address announcement shortly after departure regarding policies about eating (forbidden except in the club car), drinking (from a "sealed container", I'm still confused by that one), and smoking, while...

    Vaping With No Visible Vapor ?

    This question has been on my mind for awhile now ... Being a stealth vaper by nature (I recognize that the disinformation campaign against vaping has reached urban legend status), I wonder about the possibility of inhaling nicotine with no visible vapor to trigger the hostile "smoker reflex" in...

    I'm amazed and amused ...

    Now I have no intention of poking fun or being mean, and I'm always impressed by people who speak more than one language. My own weak attempts at Spanish probably sound pretty funny in Mexico ... But I occasionally do proofreading for business websites and official correspondence, and tend to...

    eCab Pen Top

    Finally I have something useful to post here ... :D The plastic cap from an Office Depot Highlighter Marker is the perfect size to fit over the mouthpiece of an eCab. Keeps the mouthpiece clean, allows you to clip it in your pocket, and disguises the eCab as a felt tip pen ... Works great...

    Vaporless Vaping ?

    Was just stealth vaping in the stall, or "vooping", as someone coined the term here on ECF recently, and was frantically waving my hand through the cloud before it rose above the partition to enrage the guy in the next seat ... Made me think how convenient it would be sometimes to have a juice...

    Ovale Elips-C

    This thread may result in nothing more than crickets chirping in the background, but hey, its worth a shot ... :D The Elips-C has been my favorite PV for about a month now, its well-designed, good quality components, and above all, stealthy. Fits in a dress shirt pocket sideways, virtually...

    Still looking for ...

    Got a lot of great leads last time I asked about this, but thought its worth another try. Never did find exactly what I'm looking for, maybe it doesn't exist (yet) ... I have settled on a mini eGo for convenience and discretion (stealth). Have good sources for short 350 and 420 mAh batteries...
