    Virginia Roll Call

    Glad to hear the meet went well. I was hoping to go, but started on a job that week and couldn't make it down. I'm hoping to make it to Jay's place soon as it's about time for an equipment upgrade.

    Why are so many people against non-smokers vaping?

    Having worked in ecig retail for over a year, I came across just about every situation where people were interested in vaping. I can recall 3 different situations with non-smokers wanting to vape. The first was an elderly lady who hadn't smoked for about 5 years, but since she stopped smoking...

    Virginia Roll Call

    Midlothian, VA here. Looks like I've missed some good parties. That'll teach me to not check the forums, but I'll shoot for the May 11th meet if I'm not working that day.

    Sleep troubles

    How long have you been vaping? Detoxing off cigarettes can cause any variety of side effects. Also, it helps to switch to a lower nic level at night time. As always, drink a ton of water! Vaping will dehydrate you and the water will speed up the detox time as well.

    Vaping in public/at work?

    I vape pretty much anywhere and have done so for 3 years with no issues except once. I was working a film job and got stuck alone everyday in the production office which was in a hotel room. I was vaping butterscotch in there and the other crew members complained about the smell when they'd...

    This scared me!

    I've seen quite a few of those type of commercials on tv lately. Reminds me of one of my favorite movies where the ghost of xmas present says "Sometimes you have to smack them in the face to get their attention"

    Anybody else lose weight vaping?

    I had the exact same experience and i attributed it to the water, lack of sweet treats and being unable to enjoy sugary drinks. Also, because i feel better in general, i'm more active that I was when i smoked. One other thing that I noticed is that since my tastebuds have healed, I can taste...

    What is Steeping?

    That is quite likely yes, also your taste buds take time to heal and your tastes will change over time. Many vapers also go through periods of dead tastebuds where nothing tastes right for a few hours to a few weeks. I've come across that a couple of times. Switching flavors, using stronger...

    Quitting smoking sucks! A little of my story, suggestions would be great!

    Hello and welcome to the forum. Sailorman covered things pretty well, but if you're hesitant about DIY at this stage, Aroma Ejuice sells premade WTA liquids. I've tried them and they do seem to have a bit more oomph than regular eliquids.

    What is Steeping?

    Steeping is the term we use for letting eliquid age for best flavor. Many vendors make all liquids to order and with more complicated flavors (especially tobaccos) the true flavor takes time to develop. It's rather like cooking. The longer the ingredients simmer together, the better it...

    paraphernalia

    I've seen a few posts from people who've gotten pulled over. Obviously no one has been charged with anything and one person called and spoke with a supervisor and was invited to do a presentation on ecigs at the local station. I've never had a problem with it myself, but I'd look at it as an...
