And the moral of the story is that when ignorant or when in doubt, ask at ECF. You are amazingly knowledgeable and amazingly kind! All the best, Kati

Dear me, I just plucked down $50 on my e-juice step down program. Thinking out loud, does this mean another trip to the vape store?

Just out curiosity is 225 puffs in 36 hour period extremely excessive? I really don't have a point of comparison. What constitutes a typical puff per day ratio, if indeed such a ratio actually exists except in the recesses of my muddled mind?

One other factor is that I am trying to step down the nicotine level. My latest e-juice is 4.5% vs. 6%. The net result, thus far at least, is that I am vaping a lot more. In a 36 hour period I had 225 puffs which seems an astronomical amount to me. I already purchased the next step down, 3%...

I have been drinking seemingly buckets of water.

For years I have seen commercials that mention "dry mouth" as one of the possible side- effects of taking a prescription drug. The term didn't really mean much to me since I had never experienced it. I thought it likely that it was the same as being thirsty. Now that I have experienced it, it...

"Smoking was never this confusing was it? Just had to remember to light the right end." - sddennislee I couldn't agree more. I've had to consult the manual twice in the last 24 hours. For some reason, likely something I did, the mod locked up. Secondly the puff counter maxed out and I had to...

Does ECF have some kind of award for the most ignorant member of this community? I fear I am a candidate. Yesterday my question about wattage, today it's airflow. What is accomplished by adjusting the airflow? Having the airflow open completely yields? Partially closing the airflow yields...

I must confess more than a degree of ignorance regarding wattage. What is the most appropriate wattage? What is accomplished by either increasing or decreasing the wattage? What are the positives and negatives of increasing the wattage on the device? Right now my Smok Procolor 225 is set at...

Well, I'm back on track, but, dear me, I'm hitting the vaping hard both in terms of frequency and depth of inhalation. I finish a vaping session (I usually try to limit myself to five "hits" [I'm fairly certain that isn't the right term. Still trying to learn vape-speak.]) and within a few...

Over the weekend I came completely off the rails and went back to cigarettes only. For some inexplicable reason vaping became a secondary consideration which translated to smoking only, no vaping for two days. I simply don't understand it.

Your story is the story I was hoping to have. I have greatly reduced my cigarette intake, but I still haven't given them up completely. May your self-discipline and determination keep you on the path to becoming a former smoker. All the best, Kati - the considerably less self-disciplined...

It started last night and persists this morning. A sore throat. My first thought would normally be that I am at the beginning of a summer cold. However, I just got over a cold virus a few weeks ago so it is unlikely that I would be beginning another. Not impossible, but not likely. The...

Thank you for your kind replies. Could it be that nicotine level, 6mg, is too low and that is causing me to desire to smoke occasionally? I've gone from six a day to a pack in a week, not a monumental shift, but a step in the right direction from my perspective.

It is likely that I am making a nuisance of myself for starting yet another topic. If I am over doing it, I hope someone will say so. I'd like to be a sensible member, not a nuisance. The newness of vaping brings a whole range of questions to mind, probably questions that have been broached...

Is it typical to start vaping as a way to give up cigarette smoking, but then to go back to cigarettes or to do both rather giving up completely? Is this a typical problem at the beginning of the process or am I just a particularly weak-willed individual?

I did watch closely and I asked him to walk me through it a second time. Hopefully that tiny hurdle is behind me.

With the purchase a new tank came the purchase of another e-juice recommended by the clerk who sold and installed the new tank. Brand name Odin by BW. High VG (70% VG) 6mg. If I remember correctly it is a mixture of blackberry and tobacco. It is very pleasant, much more flavorful than the...

The saga continues... After leaving the store I went to use Smok Procolor 225 with its new tank and new settings. The Procolor wouldn't fire. I called the store hoping for a quick fix over the phone. The clerk didn't think he could accomplish much over the phone. Would I please bring it in...

I ended up buying a new tank, a FreeMax Fireluke Mesh. The clerk set everything up so I should be good to go. Lesson learned? Buy local so that if problems arise you can let the experts sort things out. Thanks again for all the kind guidance all of you offered me. Your helpfulness is deeply...
