I do not feel I would ever go back. I have had a cig here and there and it was so gross I only had 1-2 puffs. I cannot stand the smell, the ashtray mess, the whole trip of carrying gigs everywhere. If vaping went away I would do nic gum

Well, sorta. There'll always be the pull of the full spectrum of junk in our former habit -- but I guess it gets less and less the further away you get from it. That's one reason why vapers fall off the wagon: the nicotine sometimes ain't enough, becasue it wasn't by itself the original pull. I don't know if I would call vaping a pacifier, but, well, I guess it kinda is. LOL. Pacifiers are great tools for weaning, though my baby weaned cold turkey. :wub:

I feel that, but I've also been on the side of some really heartbreaking and sudden news and that completely changed the game -- somehow vaping just didn't help during that time. Granted, it didn't last, but I sure seemed to grab a pack like I never quit. Strange, you'd think that just mixing up a batch of 50 mg and taking a hit would've worked, but no. The nic wasn't what I needed, it was everything else. But I understand and concur, smoking is gross and I never want to or feel I'll do it again, but I know how life is and how I handle certain things.

I hear ya Mann. I am not downing those that have gone back. Bless 'em.
I know my addiction driven personality and when I am done I am done. Been here before with other things and usually wallow around in whatever the substance was long enough to be flat out sick to death and then I can turn my back.
Hoping this is the case with cigs too.
Never really know for sure do we?

Nope, we don't, but anyway I've heard it's just for today. LMAO

I'm pretty disappointed. .. after being the last person in the world to fall in love with Winter Wildwood, the last batch of WWW I bought (express) has a strong eucalyptus taste. I despise menthol and this tastes too much like menthol for my liking.

What happened to my WWW? The WWW I came to adore was mello Wildwood smokey tobacco blended with a nice sweet mint.

Hey, Randy. Was your first batch in the Xpress? And if not, what was your PG/VG ratio? I am thinking that your PG/VG ratio could play a part, but I may be reaching.

Hi Mann! You were actually the one who helped me pull the trigger on WWW- I used to love this juice! And... well.... this was my first go-around with Xpress, but all other Xpress flavors I received are fine. I usually order WWW in 50/50, and I think that's the ratio of Xpress.

I'm VERY sensitive to menthol, or in this case eucalyptus and this stuff is heavy on it. Prior orders of WWW tasted more like Double-mint gum in WW base. This stuff is disgusting (for a non-menthol guy). I'm going to shoot Wlad an email later today. Someone else complained about this very same thing a few months ago and my response to him was "impossible - there's no eucalyptus in WWW. I guess he was right:)

As much as I love vaping, I've found it never quite scratches the same itch as cigarettes did. I too deplore the smell of second hand smoke now, and haven't touched a cig in almost four years. With that said- I'm only one tragedy away from picking up a cigarette; I try to keep this fresh in my mind.

I hope my order ships this week. Not counting on it since the holidays and all.

Haven't had my Smooth Criminal original (Godfather) for a while now and beyond excited at this point.

Glad enough people spoke up that they returned the old flavor with a new name. I came so close to quitting vape entirely because of this lol. Via facebook there seems to be a 30% sale to January 6th. I'm sure they are just swamped with orders right now.

IT SHIPPED! Just noticed an email on my phone and looks like it will make it here on Monday! Great stuff.

Decided to place another order and found that the sale was only through the weekend rather than to the 6th. :(

Oh well, hope to catch the next. :p

I agree with the scratching the itch part. As to the other, I used to love drugs too but I cannot be 'a tragedy away' from another dose. Impossible. Not an option. It is not longer a means of medicating my troubles, nor is a cig.
Sadly, sugar might have taken the place of both. Ahhh the perils of dealing with an addictive personality.

I'm having one of those days where your package is probably out for delivery, but someone didn't scan it before it left.

Still shows the same delivery date (today). arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (sorry pirate moment).

I'll know for sure in a couple of hours. Keeping fingers crossed. Been months it seems without my old Smooth Criminal (godfather)!

OMG it's back.... I'm in a very good place right now. enough said lol.

Ended up cleaning out a kayfun lite plus v2 using a 1.4 ohm triple twisted 32 gauge kanthal with organic cotton @16.5 watts (4.8v). I had to wash the tank very well cause it had new Smooth Criminal in it.

What a difference to me in a good way.

Funny thing is way back when I first tried SC original It wasn't love at first vape. It took a week or so of vaping it to finally fall in love.

This is my number 1 ADV. Thanks for bringing it back Ahlusion.

I've had this juice as a custom sample, as XPress, and in the store (also XPress, but months removed from the one I bought). They all taste like menthol to this VERY menthol-sensitive guy. No mas.

I hear you.... I NEVER want to go back to cigs-ever!

With that said:

I say "I'm only a tragedy away from picking up a cig" for a few simple reasons A) I never want to get complacent about the gift I've received, or take for granted that I'm no longer owned by Phillip Morris; I'm doomed if I let my guard down. B) Tragedies come in different shapes and sizes...I'm pretty sure I can climb over the mountains with support from family and friends (you all included); it's the daily grind, or cumulative daily "mole hills" that present more of a challenge to me.

Well said. Isn't it funny that such simple, nonchalant friendships over the internet can come to mean so much with the common bond of what unchained us from a sort of slavery.
On another note I did not like Caramel Wildwood at all until it was over 6 months olds and now it is pretty grand
