:lol:

The evod clone I have is pretty sturdy, almost always in my pocket but being similar to a pen I could see it eventually getting broken, but the mvp is a box, I doubt it'll be jean pocket friendly at all especially if there's a tank on it... however, in the winter I know it'll fit nicely in the inside pocket of every coat I have :)

Ohh I know, I'll start wearing a fanny pack to carry it in.... :lol:

My purse has a cell phone pocket on the end... don't have a cell phone but the mvp fits in there like it was made for it. Have a feeling a holster would be best for summer. Now you have me thinking.......worrying.......... hubby has been tearing up the 2200 mah ego shorties at about one a week so decided to get him an E LVT and now wondering if he is gonna have problems toting it about with him. I know when he climbs, he will just throw it in his bucket with all the tools but for everyday walking about... not sure and not sure if he would go for a lanyard or a holster

Have you noticed when you are in a public place, just standing in line, or shopping...You can smell the smokers? blech. I smelled like that for 40 years. 40. FORTY. That stench clings to everything and everyone around you. Me and the man friend have been together for almost 12 years. He is a staunch non-smoker. I mean millitant. He never nagged me. But was adamant that I never smoke in his car. Or in the same room as him. Now that I vape I can vape in his car, in his garage, in his presence. Made me realize that the guy was either bat-..... crazy...or just crazy about me to put up with my smoking. Now when I make that "holy crap that stinks" face he says..."See? I told you!" That smell when someone first lights up a cigarette? I really thought that would be a trigger.....the only thing it triggers is my gag reflex. Keep tryin with your ladies, guys. They are worth it. I promise.

You are so right!!! After about a week of vaping I walked into my closet and about gagged... ended up pulling everything out and washing it. I really gave hubby no choice... didn't say anything but he knows 'that look' women seem to be genetically inclined to give men at times. I wouldn't let him kiss me or get in bed unless he showered and brushed his teeth after the last cigarette and he said that kinda defeated the purpose of that last nightly smoke :D

Toxic... keep after her. Actually with the mvp just a couple nights ago I ended up unscrewing the tank and had juice everywhere. My hubby, when he fills the tank, he flips it upside down and unscrews it leaving the base and coil on the battery. You just need to get her comfy with how to draw with vaping. She may be one of those that won't really go to vaping until she has no real cigs in the house too. Is she OK with the flavor? That was what I had to find for hubby before he would start vaping.

I was looking at phone holsters before I went to sleep last night, I'm sure they would work well. It would probably be easier to get your hubby to use a holster than a lanyard, I worked construction when I was younger and know I wouldn't have wanted a PV dangling from my neck all day.

And while I'm here... Good morning Knights and prospective Knights.

I wasn't worried that the smell of them would make me want one, I just didn't honestly realize how bad they smelled after 25+ years of smoking. I think the evod tanks hold around 1.6ml and the only reason it's been refilled since she's had it is because of her spilling it out accidentally. Hopefully she'll get used to it and drop the cigs but only time will tell.
Good morning everyone! About to head off to work! I get paid today! It's going right back out to my monthly doc appoint tho so no fun stuff for me!

Toxic: quitting for me was so easy! I loved my smokes too! She really needs to just get all the ciggs away from her for a week. Tell her it will be just one week! Then when the week is over she will HATE them! They will taste like dirt! Lol maybe make some kind of reward she gets if she makes it the week! For me, once I made it a whole day I didn't want to ruin where I had made it so far. So I made it two days then three now it's been 5 weeks! Maybe it would be best to just start with JUST 2 days completely cigg free and see what happens! She might think hey I can do that. Basically my point is once your away for probably even just two days you will realize its not a big deal plus everything we know now they stink they taste bad and take the leap! Goodluck with her! :):):)

My hubby didn't hate them after a week. Actually after 5 months he smoked a couple that were offered to him and told me how good they tasted. Me... before I evil eyed him into vaping... about 3 days in with only vaping, he came in smelling of smoke and decided I wanted one so lit it and it was gross, took one puff and couldn't stand it and put it out... that was the end for me. So it can go both ways. Just make sure you find the right strength for her and flavors she really loves.

She thinks she likes fruit and tea type flavors and likes the few bakery flavors I have, the biggest problem in finding what she likes is getting her to go out to the local B&M shop so she can taste before we buy them. the one flavor she has now is 12mg but I think she would be better on 6, I'm using 24mg so I know when she tries my juice she probably gets a little nicotine buzz. :drool:

Why do you think she would be better on a 6? I would think that would be too low to keep her from turning back to smoking.

Its more mental. You have to want to stop analogs.

Actually, I think just being receptive to the idea of quitting is enough.

#64

That's also part of the problem, she's not ready to quit again. She quit cold turkey about 5 years ago, and didn't smoke cigs for over a year.

From reading through the forums, everyone is saying it's the nicotine that causes the throat hit, since she coughs almost every time she tries to vape , it's hitting her to hard so a lower nic might help that, and she's not an overly heavy smoker so 12 might be too much anyway.

Nicotine strength is only one part of the equation: another component to throat hit is a higher PG mixture. In addition, the coughing may be due to the way she inhales.

No it is the PG that has more to do with throat hit... what ratio of vg/pg you have?

Yes, Count , a lot of it is in how she inhales, she's trying to draw off the pv like it's a cig which I've tried explaining to her isn't going to work right. I'll have to get her to look at that post you linked since it explains it better than I do.

Joan, before I found ECF, I read posts that told me it was the PG , then I come here and the majority were saying it's the nic level, so of course I would believe the masses, but I think what I first read is right too, it's the PG more than nicotine, most of my juices are 50/50 but I do have one that's lower PG, and it's so much smoother.
