    How much do you spend on vaping?

    I figured this out recently. Now that I have settled down on my set up and my preferred flavor, which is actually unflavored, I spend about $1.00 a day.

    E-Cigarettes: Smoke and Mirrors?

    Yeah, I just ran into a copy of this and thought, "Wait a minute, didn't he debunk his own study?"

    So when did you start to feel "better" (over the hump) when switching?

    Hello Novice. 25 year smoker, full flavor, a pack or more per day. I've been using the e-cig for about a year and a half. I'd say my physical issues; congestion, etc. stopped within about a week. Within the first couple of weeks I'd noticed improvements in my breathing, sense of smell/taste...

    The Skinny on E cigs-from a newbie

    Well, I've had some battery issues, but on the whole after a year and a half I've worked my way around them. I've been considering a passthru and I'm sure that once I get one I'll be hooked. I'm just away from USBs too much of the day to ever not be heavily dependant on batteries. I wonder if...

    E-CIG phone calls

    Ah, then how did you know I was going to ask about whether you knew my shoe size?

    every day I come here I always hope for some good news....

    You can get so overwhelmed by the challenges sometimes that it's hard to see the victories. Thanks Placebo for the positives.

    Petition, Claiming E-Cigarettes Cause Cancer

    50 years of smoking and he had "great" looking lungs? 1-3 months of e-cig use and he developed cancer? Alrighty then. Hasn't there been recent research that suggests nicotine itself could increase the rapidity of a pre-existant cancer's metasis (sp)? I guess I could see the arguement that if...

    E-CIG phone calls

    Welcome Spiderwoman. From reading here for awhile I'd say Dormouse is giving you some really useful info for starts. The 510 and the Kr808 seem to be some of the best models to start with. I've used the 510 for a year and a half and you can find a good starter kit for about the price of a carton...

    Anyone else the target of teasing??

    Yup, "toy cigarette", "fake smoke", "play smoking", etc. I blow it off and just hand out my ECF and my supplier's cards when other co-workers ask me about them. It evens out when I realize that the smoking area at my work is slowly turning into a vaping area. :) Soon we'll outnumber 'em!

    Hmmm...okay so I got dotted. Insert whatever implication about his intellectual capacity you want to in there.

    Dr's visit

    My regular doc is firmly in favor of the e-cig as opposed to smoking. He still would prefer I wasn't using it at all, but he's supportive of it as an alternative. My back doctor is very anti-nicotine. He argues that it's a vaso-constrictor and that it will impede healing. I actually got the...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    Nicko, if I'm one of the folks that made you feel attacked or insulted, you have my apologies. While I don't agree with all of your opinions I respect your right to have 'em and to voice 'em. Civitas and Vanilla, I can really relate to your points. As a hardcore soda/caffeine addict (8+ sodas...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    I have to say my experience and the experiences from the people I've talked with previously differs from yours Nicko. Perhaps it's a different interpretation of the need, or what we're describing as a buzz. If I go for more than an hour or so without nicotine I'm miserable, edgy, etc. Since...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    Or maybe I should say for Nicko's sake...it goes away for most people.

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    I remember my nicotine buzzes. I've been smoking for about as long as the OP has been alive. It's been a looong time since I got a buzz from nicotine. Someone else said it on here...after awhile you just use it to feel normal again. Nicotine is addictive, even if it may be only as harmful as...

    Arizona to tax the poor for smoking or being fat

    Ah , the poor, the smokers, the obese. Meet the second class citizens.

    TRUE or FALSE!! Lets play!!!!

    False, unless you count the clowns I deal with at work. :/ TNP has been watching the Casey Anthony trial as addictively as if it were an episode of Law and Order.

    This needs to stop

    I was about to say the same thing as Jayvolt did, have you tried unflavored? When I saw his post and almost responded the same way, what struck me is that most of the responses I've read to people trying to post about a health problem is exactly what another poster here said, they're...

    Serious warning! Deadly juice!

    I have no children and I hate being asked to change who I am, what I say, or what I do for the sake of what other folks have chosen to do with their lives. It's just so politically correct. That being said, I've always called it liquid or e-liquid.
