I see the requirements to be a verified member and I appreciate the requirements! No SPAM! No salespeople in disguise! Yeah, right on. That sets the bar higher. Cool.

As it turns out, looks like 18 mg was more than I needed. I am very addicted to nicotine, as much as anyone else. I was smoking camel lights. The 18 mg not only took away any craving, it gave me a bit of a headache. The 12 mg is doing me fine. Maybe I am breathing it in deeper -- I am trying to make sure to get enuf nico, and maybe overdoing it.

This ECBlend free sample of "The Twinkie" mixed with TastyVapors "Pina Colada" is yummm
A 1:1 mix of 24 mg Pina Colada with 0 mg Twinkie.

tobacco cigs taste yuk. I tried one at lunch break just to see if I liked it or would get a buzz--nope. Didn't like it at all.

Hello and welcome to the ECF Yeti! Should be plenty to learn here, tons of info!

 

[OregonYeti]

Thanks Optics, Karn and Insane.

Welcome!

I'm a noob here myself (though I've been lurking here for several months). Haven't tried the Halo kit, but they're a reputable manufacturer so I'm sure you'll be happy with your product.

I never thought I'd stop smoking Marlboro Reds, but my e-cig now keeps me smoke free and happy.

 

[OregonYeti]

thanks, Fronkey. I thought I'd go through withdrawal, being very addicted to cigs, but on day one I have lost interest in tobacco. Yay Used to be I would about lose my mind after 3 hours without a tobacco cig. No more. Got the nicotine I need with much much better flavor! Tobacco sucks.

Welcome OregonYeti! I live in Florida but 'belong' in Oregon, especially in August!

Have been lurking these forums for a while, but finally decided to join the fun.

Welcome OregonYeti! I live in Florida but 'belong' in Oregon, especially in August!

We'd take you back, but your re-entrance fee is that you have to come back in January.

 

[OregonYeti]

LOL

Florida (or Arizona) in winter, Oregon in summer ... the perfect life.

 

[Argemus]

Amen to that!

My husband gets so bored every August when I ask him if we can move to Oregon.

Asked him yesterday and he says "starting kind of early this year, aren't we?

Not missing tobacco at all, a week later. This is just awesome.

I've also started diluting the nicotine, little by little, so that eventually maybe I will be just fine without any nicotine. I don't think I will ever be "cured" of e-cigarettes, though. They taste so good. It's like a hookah. Even if you don't need nicotine, you want the flavor and all. These e-cigs are a real sensory experience.

So happy it's all working for you, OregonYeti!

And yeah, even though cutting the nicotine is good, giving up the vaping is going to be a battle for me, lol. Maybe someday, but I have to use up all my 0 nic liquids first.

Good idea on thinning out the nicotine. I tapered myself from 18mg nicotine eliquids to 8mg liquid in about a month. I do notice that I vape a bit more with the 8mg liquid, but total nicotine consumption is down overall

congrats and welcome...

Thanks, Absintheur

Hey, I have a question ... refilling cartomizers ... how do you know when to add, and how much?

Someone I talk with at work is buying the same kit (Halo) as I did, and trying vaping for the first time. She asked about refilling. I did a search here and couldn't find an answer. I bought a sensitive scale and I use that (weighed a carto empty and using that +1 gram as filled weight), and it works great, but what other easy way do I tell her so she doesn't have to buy a scale?

Thanks in advance.
