Hi all. I can't believe I'm posting on a ecigs forum. Its bizarre. It kind of sucks you have to get a 4 year degree to understand all that is involved here. Seriously, most cars don't require this much maintenence. From the brands to the liquids, to the kits, to the vocab, to the politics, I'm suprised ANYONE bothers... But i've spent the better part of the day researching the subject and my head is full of vaping thoughts. I felt compelled to post.
First, about me and vaping. I was introduced to the idea through a "blu cig" website ad. I never click ads, but it did stick in my mind. So a month or 2 later when my aunt brought up the subject, and how a friend of hers quit with the ecig, I decided to check it out.
I ordered the stupid blue thing, and it stunk. It makes sense that Blu does so much advertising, as I doubt they would get many returning customers. Now most people would give up on the ecig thing at that point. But i decided to look into it more. I found this forum and other sites. Many recommended the joye 510, so I ordered it as well. It came in the mail a few days later, and having been so recently discouraged, the package sat on my shelf unopened for 3 months... I opened it this morning, and I am so relieved and impressed. The product works. It really feels like smoking... WHEN i get that throat hit. Thats my first question, why is that damn throat hit so inconsistant?
I've had a rather unusual smoking habit for a long time. I smoke ultralight 100's. About a pack and a half a day. But i smoke them in thirds. Meaning, i light up, take a few puffs, then put it out. Then a few minutes later, I light up again. So I smoke almost CONSTANTLY, but dont actually get that much nicotine. Well, i've been vaping all day (with a few cigs mixed in). And i'm getting waaaay more nicotine than I should be. Can anyone recomend a cheap liquid that gives me a decent throat hit with a low amount of nicotine so I can vap MORE with less nicotine? PLEASE! And link if possible.
And a quick thought on the politics and society. It makes me sick. I pride myself on being a rational person. And when I see .... like this it drives me INSANE! The politicians, the media and the ......s that make up 80% of our society. The facts are soooo simple and striaght forward. Vaping is sooo much safer than smoking. I don't want to quit, but if I can get that same feeling without the danger, why wouldn't everyone get behind that? It's like someone who enjoys riding a motorcycle down a winding mountain road at 100 MPH in heavy traffic who also enjoys equally riding the bumper cars at the local amusment park. Instead of encouraging this man to ride the bumper cars, we are warning him of the potential dangers of the bumper cars and how someone COULD potential get hurt. Outlaw the bumber carts!
The manufacuturers need to get the product to be reliable, and simpler. The sellers need to stop trying to market it as a cessation device (maybe a footnote that it can be used that way... potentially), and the politicians and the rest of society need to get thier heads out of their ....
Anyways, thanks for this site, and for all your helpful info, and in advance for your responses.
