    Stigma Around Nicotine Is Destroying Public Perception of E-Cigarettes

    The "screw 'em" crowd blowing huge clouds in public hasn't done us any favors, although negative and not necessarily accurate media reporting is working hard to surpass that harm. Eight years of discrete vaping and I finally was called out about it today in a department store. CBD instead if nic.

    Newbie needs help!

    Careful with it. I've had to purchase a half-dozen replacements for my wife over the past several years. She mishandles them and the tops come apart. Don't drop it and take care to use minimal force necessary to disassemble for refill and coil replacement. Fortunately, she quit vaping a...

    Quick terminology question

    To properly qualify this, my quest began (and ended) ONLY with finding a healthier and equally satisfying alternative to analogs. I wasn't looking for an additional hobby; and, if I want a piece of cake, pie, candy bar or fruit I'll consume the real thing. Neither was I looking to blow huge...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I know I'm done and good for you. Wife quit two months ago. Other than regularly replacing stuff she couldn't restrain herself from carelessly destroying, I haven't purchased anything but coils & chems for nearly three years. For the past year, I've gone days at a time without vaping. For the...

    Older Folks and Vaping

    I finally found steady employment 3 months ago, I now hate computers because I'm chained to one 7-11 hours a day, but thought I ought to drop by and say howdy to everyone and wish you well. The wife and I just turned 6 months free from analogs and all is peachy-keen on that front. No chance to...

    They're out there and easy to find. You just discard the newspaper, internet, employment agencies, etc. You burn some gasoline and pound pavement doing cold calls until someone eventually hires you. I applied and interviewed for this job on April 9, 2011 and finally got the call three weeks...

    The hurrier I go, the behinder I get, and I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to catch up. Third week on the new job and, after pounding on a computer all day at work, my heart just hasn't been in it for doing it again at night. Wife's been gone vacationing in Indiana with her...

    First, thanks to all for the sympathy, wishes and prayers. Sunday was bad, bad, bad....but the new job captured my thoughts and complete attention today. The job's a keeper; I'm on a flexible 30-35 hour work week throughout training and I shift to full time with benefits thereafter. It would...

    Rob, Richie, Janet....your story in particular was a neck-snapper. I thought norminator99 (Norma) had signed on with a bogus ID. Welcome and thanks for your stories as well as for the reiterations from matti, ron, iffy, semi, Mike....unh, my head is spinning....where's Danny and the rest...

    Good Eye, Tex....it's good to be back among friends again and welcome to Uncle Willie. Really glad you made the big turnaround....quite a success story. Here's mine again.... "After 60 years (started smoking age 5) I switched to an e-cig (Joye 510) on 01/06/2012. Wife (also 60+ year smoker)...

    Pictures of your setup

    I can imagine....I only have a Lavatube, eGo-T and eGO with 4ml DCT loaded and I'm always having to look in another room for the one I want....when Norma doesn't have me searching for where she left her Inferno with 4ml DCT. Good luck with that.

    I feel your pain....I honestly and truly do. The day we moved into our new home after retirement and relocation, I was in Wally*World Supercenter seven frikken times. On top of that, Norma decided to quit driving and just last month began driving the mile and a half there and two miles to...

    Good Morning, My Friends.... I didn't witness sunrise but am confident that the earth is still revolving acceptably true to it axis. We have some "severe" weather moving in again today. Although the snowbirds are no strangers to severe weather, for them it customarily arrived in the form of...

    Makes good sense but way too easy. I'll send it back after catastrophic failure. That's my system....I weigh on Wednesday nights, after a good hot soak, and clad in my Tarzan suit. If I'm under target I pig out; over, I know exactly how to step up to get it back down. Norma still hits the...

    I have an Inferno 900mAh PT battery that gets pretty warm while charging....it gets charged in a paint can situated within a clear radius of 10' in the garage. I almost trust it now after 5 or 6 cycles without incident but Norma will be leaving that one behind during her trip back to Indiana...

    lol....way too AW-ish for me but I like others' purpose-built stuff, it's nicely turned out, and I admire ingenuity. At the opposite end of the scale, check these out: They're from Setup Pictures Post No. 2831.
