    How long have you all been vaping?

    Close to 13 years! I laid the Marlboros down for good on August 20th, 2010. I have vaped almost as long as I smoked. I had smoked for 17 years, 2 years a few a day (I was in high school still) but once I moved to college at 18, I spent 15 years smoking a pack to pack and a half per day. I...

    Hey kids! I have been so horribly absent from here over the last 5-6 years. Long story short, quit the stinkers on 8-22-10 and haven’t looked back. Vaping has grown and changed so much during the 11 years I have vaped, I won’t even bore you with the details of what gear was like when I...

    What is the 5% bad in vaping if it's 95% safer than smoking?

    Long Term Storage of Nicotine PG or VG solution?

    I am a long term nic storage person. I use 100% PG for freezer storage. I have a bottle of 50mg 100% PG nicotine that was purchased in December 2011 that I am just about finished using and it has retained its clear color, no odor, and when using my nicotine testing kit it hasn't lost strength...

    Silly Mental health question with regards to behavior.

    I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Obviously I do not know your specific case, but the diagnosis you have been given previously (schizophrenia, bipolar, and schizoaffective) all kind of tie-in together. Schizoaffective essentially is bipolar symptoms with psychosis. Many patients are...

    4 years!

    Great question! I may have poorly chosen my words there.......I think I just wonder if vaping is still something I truly NEED to do, if it is something I just WANT to do, and if I really need it to not smoke. I think I have passed the point of needing to do it to not smoke. I think I started...

    4 years!

    4 years vaping. 4 years not smoking. I forget what it was like to be a smoker. The triggers are gone at this point. I really do not know what my future is with vaping. At this time I have no desire to quit vaping, yet I have been coming down on my nicotine over the past 6 months. I was...

    Quitting Smoking and Depression...Round 2

    I could not disagree more. I respect your opinion, but you are severely misinformed and incorrect. Depression is very real. Depression is a physical illness in which the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters are not able to be utilized properly or they are not available in proper amounts to...
