I've been vaping without any analogs (funny how the first letters are .......now they taste like that's where they came from, lol) and have a few observations.
First off, a lot of my breath came back almost IMMEDIATELY! After 35 years at a pack and a half a day, this is amazing to me! I started riding bikes fairly seriously in October, totally giving up the truck and motorcycles which have sat idle since. Last weekend, Saturday I think it was, I went on a 60 mile ride. I used to run out of breath on hills, and I noticed this time that my legs were giving out before my lungs were! The next day my legs were almost as sore as when I started! How cool is that?
My sense of smell has increased 10-fold. This is a good and a bad thing. Let me explain. My bicycle commute to work takes me over the Los Angeles river, and one day I'm riding over it and noticed that it smelled particularly foul. The next day it smelled the same, and again the next. It finally dawned on me that it always reeked, but my smoke-killed sense of smell didn't detect it! On a positive note, things like flowers and food smell wonderful! Speaking of food, the increase in my sense of taste is wonderful! I knew I liked Indian food, but damn, now I love it!
As far as equipment goes, I think my taste in equipment differs from most here. I have a 510 kit and a Hello 016 kit. I prefer to vape the 510, as I like the way it feels in my hand and I feel like it's less obvious in public. I just ordered a 510 pass through, and am thinking about more batteries and another pcc so I don't feel the need to drag the big batt everywhere (insurance against stock 510 batteries running out before the other is charged). I also have to say that I LOVE CLEAROMIZERS! The regular carts and atties are reserved now for emergencies. Another weird thing, I like menthol and can't stand any of the tobacco flavors I've tried, and I used tosmoke Winstons and American Spirit blues. Go figure...
I just want to say thanks to all of you for educating me and helping me find out what I need to stay off the evil weed. I tried everything (Chantrix and Zyban give horrible nightmares! They're evil!!!) and this is the only thing that has worked for me. I really think I've just added 10 years to my life and, if not, life sure is better anyways!
