Thanks for the replies everyone and some great information Kayta! I was diagnosed with COPD back in late 2012. After tons of tests & different medications, I was finally doing okay...not great, but okay. About 6 weeks or so ago, my breathing suddenly got pretty bad again, like I was back to where I was several years ago. I spent Christmas Eve getting a cat scan to see if I had a pulmonary embolism. Thankfully I didn't, but my pulmonary doctor did see that I have severe emphysema. She said I must be genetically susceptible to this, since I am pretty young to have it so severely. So after some trial & error, I am currently on a low dose of predesone and trying a new to the market inhaler. Unfortunately I spent all of last night jumping out of bed every hour or two with severe leg & foot cramps, being caused by one or the two new meds...such fun, right?

Aw damn, Tyleris . . . I am so sorry about that development.

I have an excuse! I have a horrible cold, and I've been sleeping like a log. On the plus side, no vaper tongue, but inhaling IS a bit... challenging, at times. Hi Tyleris!!

No emphysema, dear kitty, but I do have to balance between the insta-cough of PG, and the delayed but enduring cough of VG. I find 50/50 to be the best balance, but I've been vaping mostly 70/30 of late, and paying with a little bit of heavy lung issues. I'm still preferring lil wet lung by a long shot over cancer and tar.

I hope you feel better soon! I've never gotten a cough from PG but I sure get one from VG. I can't even handle 50/50.

I have vapes 50/50 since 2012.....used 100% VG from 2010 until 2012, but as a lot of folks find, that much VG caused so much lung heaviness. My dilemma comes in that too much PG will also cause my legs to cramp, so finding a happy medium for my lungs & my legs is so frustrating. I know the best solution would be for me to stop vaping also, but I just don't think I'm at a point in my life right now where I could do that & not go back to smoking. Too much of a very stressful situation currently & guess I'm not strong enough to battle both things at once.

Anyways, sorry for the book and thanks for making me comfortable enough to share all this with you guys...the Ahlusion group will always feel like home to me!

ETA: I vape at 12 watts and 1.8ohm Nautilus cotton coils in Kabuki tanks. No sub ohming for me & no deep inhaling, but I do inhale. Will definitely try your suggestion to not inhale as much as possible @Kayta.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Tyleris. I hope you find something that works. I try to not inhale. I like to inhale and hold it in my mouth, then exhale out the nose. You've got to think about it to do it though. If you get busy then it's easy to go back to inhaling as if you were smoking again. It's what we all did for years!

I do think your lungs would be better without the high amount of VG. I don't have COPD or emphysema and I have trouble breathing if I vape 70VG.

Hey guys and gals. Sorry I've been a bit absent but I got my order and Saturday Morning ain't bad but not my thing. I also got Sweet Surrender..I think this one needs to steep..in the bottom of a trash can. OMG worst A+ ever! Unless there's something I need to know?!?

Sweet Surrender needs about 2 months to steep! I've been vaping it for 4 years. It tastes best around 1.8 ohms and lower wattage. I think it really shines in an eVod. I've tried it in a GS Air tank and didn't care for it as much. It was created before all of the new equipment and I think there is too much flavor and too many flavors in it for the newer tanks. It really does change after steeping though.

I'll be curious to see what you think of the Stardust. I've been thinking about getting it for years, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Stardust was good at first. Another one on my search for a really good Blueberry Juice. Sorry to say it just wasn't bold enough. Bumped up a bit and it would outshine Mirtillo Rotto by DO.

Oh TYVM @Bukket5 .. It worried me that Wlad would make some kind of mistake with just one batch. Hopefully not because I know a lot of you adore Sweet Surrender. That's why I put it on the short list of new to tries.

Sweet Surrender is an old fav of mine. It reminds me a lot of Fijian Nights. I have not bought any in a long time but only because there is too many others I like more like LYCHEE COCONUT SMOOTHIE (the Bomb bay......)

What I got from the documents is you MUST go through channels to be effective. It's not hard to register and it can make a difference. False info on registration can do more harm than good, too. And keep in mind this is Germany - would they interpret your English correctly or even bother to read it?

I hear ya. Yeah I'll do it that way. Many Germans speak really good English but as with German the written words can have so many different meanings. Hence English being one of the hardest language to master besides Chinese.

Yeah but you like a really good throat hit. I avoid LCS and a few others because of TH.

Dang it..You're right. Why should I worry? And it's hit and miss trying that many flavors. That is why I started my blog. But my blog is turning into a book.
Who wants to read a book by a dog star that often mispells wurds?!?

I sure wish I lived within 100 miles of Swartz Creek. If I ever get to go to Chicago again I'll make the effort to go ahead and take it on up the highway to Michigan.

That is SO sweet of you to say. Flattery about my children will get ya everywhere.

I read your blog, it was an excellent read. I HAD to, to find out your magical mystical Blueberry flavor that ya finally found. Tempting, and I don't buy jooz from others... except that CN Pistachio RY4.. Which I unfortunately had to PIF last night. Trying to convert SIL. She came over last night. Hooked her up with a good charger, a few LG HE4's, Cloupor Mini+, Kanger STM and I picked a bunch of my fave Ahlusion juices for her. "I don't like cake flavors, I'd like tobacco's if you have any of those". Goodbye CNPRY4. Goodbye Mountains of Madness. Oh, hehe.. and Goodbye Blue Grass Burley! FINALLY!! HAHAHA!!!

Worst problem is, she doesn't really see smoking as a problem. I think it was a wasted PIF, but hope springs eternal.

Ahh my Scone..Yes that's awesome sauce and thanks for the read. It's a work in progress because Wlad don't know when to stop. Actually being a Marine that word isn't in his vocabulary.

Thank you Bukket. I welcome the occasional cold. My gurls spoil me ROTTEN. The pleasure is WAY more than the pain.

I think that is great advice! I have done that with flavors I REALLY like but suspect may have diketones, and I still get all the nic. And I agree on VG. It really does cause me lung congestion.

SPOT ON!! I agree, and I have seen others wonder how I could love Sweet Surrender, but I think that's right! Steep time, plus equipment. Doesn't seem to like tanks. Just checked it again in a hh357, and, I still love it.

Glad to hear this. I vaped it for awhile yesterday, and was afraid I was going to have to come back here to say that Sirius was right about the melted GI Joe, but then I tried it again later last night and it was back to having good potential. It seems even better this morning, but I'll put the rest of the bottle away for a good long steep. And yes, I too am vaping it on a 1.8 head with lower wattage (in my trusty T3S mini).

I'm glad it probably wasn't a mistake in the batch, too. And we KNOW there's nothing wrong with your taste in eliquids! Probably you were using something with higher wattage? I can see how that would bump the plastic factor up to unacceptable levels!

I can see the Fijian Nights comparison. FN doesn't really do it for me, though, I think because of the mint and banana.

I can see how it might turn out to be great with a good steep and the right equipment.

Hahaha.... Feedback is feedback. Gotta calls em as ya sees em.. I'm pretty sure I'd never get a free sample of Blue Grass Burley, stuff tasted like cow patties, and I said so!

The 16 year old dawter got driving practice today, all the way to Swartz Creek & back. I got 3 10ml's upgraded to 60ml's, and a few dozen grey hairs! Actually she did really well, especially on the hairy I-69 to I-75 exchange. My baby is going to be driving herself around without us soon. Wah! Man, they grow fast. Seems like just yesterday, she was my little girl sitting on the boat dock..

Memories....

Anyways, Heads up Y'all that are anywhere near Ahlusion. They have extended the qualifying date for the 10ml to 60ml upgrades for in store purchases to January 15th. So if you can get by the store and buy just one thing by then, you get once a month upgrades of any 3 10ml bottles to 60ml for 6 months. Woot!!

She is a beauty! I hope you are feeling better too and taking care of yourself!!

Thanks again everyone, for the advice & thoughts! I wanted to quote all of you, but kind of hard on my tablet....so please know I appreciate each & every one of you!! [emoji178]

Yup! Right now, they are desperately trying to get 50K signatures. Any petition that reaches 50K signatures within one month gets a chance to be presented in an open session of the Bundestag.
