    so are most of you vaping with or without nicotine

    I started with 32 about a month ago, I tried an 18mg liquid because I liked the flavor and my B&M didn't have anything higher in the flavor. The cravings came back. I'm currently happy with 24 and I hope I'll get down to 18 and then eventually lower. I'm targeting 12 to 6 as an end goal.

    Please recommend a good affordable kit?

    I wanted to thank everyone that responded. You have given me lots of options and I'm sorting through them to make a decision. Thanks so much!

    Did anyone transition into vaping from smoking RYO tobacco?

    I came to vaping from RYO and unfiltered cigs. My RYO of choice was Stokkebye Amsterdam Shag. Amsterdam Shag is a super strong blend of dark fired KY tobacco with rich VA, similar to a European style cig (no burley or Oriental tobaccos like most American cigs). I've also enjoyed some strong...

    Please recommend a good affordable kit?

    Hi all, A friend of mine has been admiring my eGo with built-in USB + EVOD setup, and her birthday is coming up. I'd like to get her something similar. It doesn't need to come with a clearo, as I can add that to the order. She had been successfully vaping for a while with a cig-a-like (I think...

    FDA proposes BANNING ONLINE SALES of electronic cigarettes

    What really bothers me about this is that pipe tobacco and cigars are legally sold online (although they can't be legally shipped to some places, like Washington State.) I know cigarettes and cigarette tobacco can't be sold online. Tobacco pipes are also legal to sell on-line. Ebay even allows...

    Started vaping today

    Welcome to the hobby. Vaping has its own rituals that may come to replace the cig rituals for you in time. There is the ordering of the juice, waiting for it to arrive, letting it steep (if its made to order it may need to rest for a week & some people like to shake the bottles everyday)...

    1. Durian, because why wouldn't anyone want to try a fruit that "evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine, raw sewage." Wikipedia Page

    New favorite juice from Mr E Liquid

    I also want to know how long RY4 should steep. I've heard great things about it, but I tried it too early at 4 days. It tasted like maple syrup, vanilla, and pancakes. A friend of mine described it as IHOP as a steam. I'd like to know how much longer to let it sit before trying it again.

    What's with the nonsmokers being so happy I quit smoking and then asking

    I'm glad I haven't had someone ask me this yet, but I'm sure the question is coming. My answer will be NEVER! Nicotine and vaping are pleasurable experiences that I enjoy. Also, there has been some research that shows nicotine might help prevent Alzheimer's disease, might boost brain function...

    help and tips

    At first I was trying disposables and still occasionally buying a pack or grabbing an analogue from a friend when the battery on the disposable ran out. Then I bought my eGo kit and some 32ml liquid, and I haven't had a craving for an analogue since. I have had a few analogues, but I didn't...

    How long to get off analogs entirely?

    Focus on the ones you don't smoke! Quitting is a process and not everyone can do it overnight. I was only an occasional smoker, about a half a pack in 3 or 4 hours of a night out with friends. I was analogue free for a week, and then a friend brought me a pack of my favorite brand, Gauloises...

    Vaper's Tongue- what is known?

    I'm going with chemical burn, since some people mentioned it seems to be more common with strong flavors. Something similar occasionally happens to tobacco pipe smokers and is called tongue burn. The standard remedy (and preventative) is Biotene mouthwash, toothpaste, mouth spray, and improved...

    Insurance question: are we smokers or not?

    I think they need to start testing for something other than cotinine. I read that they look for anabasine if you tell them that you are using the patch or gum. Apparently anabasine is found in smokers, but not people using pure nicotine. Does anyone know if juice contains anabasine? The...
