30 days - Smoke Free

[nunya]

Today is 30 days no smoking. Yay me!

vaping along with no intentions of quitting. Had a small panic attack this morning when I realized I'll be in the car for 13 hours (each way) with the kids next week driving north. They don't know I smoked or that I vape. Teenagers. What to do? Snus? Lozenges ain't gonna cut it. Gonna have to vape on the DL at rest stops! The secret life of a Mommy Vaper.....

Good for you, and congrats! I'm in the same boat -- my kids, parents, in-laws, etc., didn't know I smoked and don't know I vape. At least now you have something you can do in the bathroom without smelling like an ashtray or setting off a smoke detector. I still hit the nicotine gum sometimes in these situations.

We're closet vapers! Need to start our own group? Does one already exist?

Got a banner. Testing. Testing

Whoot! It worked!

We really should, to swap stealth-vaping tips. At least my kids are still little, so I can strap them into their carseats and sneak a quick vape or two as I walk around the back of the car.

I am cracking up at the money saved portion of that banner. If I factor in all my vape juices and equipment I'm still in the hole. However, if every cig takes a minute off your life, I've gained about 3 hours. Also saved on dry cleaning. Well worth it. Once I'm settled in with juice (still looking for that daily vape) it'll start to level out. Of course, by then, I'll want to start looking at a mod!

I love the KR808 because I can slip it away and it's easily concealed. Also, it doesn't look like a new fangled hooka and doesn't draw attention.

So Jerkwater, what juice is your daily vape? You rocking an 808, 510 or something else?

Started with an eGo kit, then got Riva 510 batteries. Using LR cartos with RY4 juice during the day at work. Usually drip something more exotic at night. Loving vaping inside in the evening -- no more hiding in the garage.

I know! And just in time for winter! I really like RY4, I just order some VY4 from Vaperite - it won a Vapenstein award for best RY4. I'll let you know how it is. I find the pre-filled cartos I get from another vendor start to taste burned about half way through. Hoping the Vaperite juice holds up - plan to fill up a blank. Hoping my juices arrive today. Got some from Virgin Vapor too. It's funny, kind of like cigars or wine or scotch, the way people talk about juices and all its varietals.

I am very interested in buying US made, a little uneasy about Chinese product given the issues with other imported products that are regulated much more heavily than juice. Also want to support local biz whenever possible. Vaperite is in GA about an hour north of ATL.

Keep yourself busy with some technical reading.

Electronic Cigarettes & Accessories | Awesome Vapor is in Cummings, GA, close to Vaperite. Arno sells Todd's Vaperite organic juices as well as his own. He also has a nice selection of hardware to boot, with same day shipping. I'm in Central GA and I get next day mailbox delivery if I order in time for him to ship. They are fast on order fills and great on friendly, personal service. If you leave a note on your order, they actually read it and respond!

Wow, im blown away that youve managed to hide this from your kids and parents, etc. Please understand, i am in no way judging, just thinking about how you would have had to buy cigs on the sly, hide all your vaping supplies (which mine are all over the house). Seems like a lot of work and i know i would slip up!

Congrats! I'm at day seven with no analogs, feeling better already! Forums like this helped me make the jump to PVs. Loving it!!

For me, my kids are young and my parents/in-laws each live at least an hour away, so it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't vape in front of my kids regardless, so keeping my vaping stuff up in the liquor cabinet is no problem (my kids are little). I've always got my PV in my pocket, though, and it's easy to pop into the bathroom or something for a quick vape.

When I was still smoking, it really was awful. It basically meant I could smoke at work and after the kids were in bed. Never inside, never in the car. Evenings and weekends I pretty much just had to go without, which was rough. Almost like going through the pains of quitting without actually quitting. Makes me very happy I found e-cigs.

Wow, man, i would not have the self control for all of that, i would have exploded! lol
