Are e-cigarettes addictive?

[Asbestos4004]

You're not far enough south for gnats to invade your vape space
Just be mindful of mosquitoes! They like warm vapes

I beg to differ! I spend far too much time in Statesboro Ga.....there's alot of buildings to wreck down there. It's in the gnat belt....those suckers have their own Social Security cards.....and some of em carry weapons

On a serious note, I think we should do a study on vaping and gnat/mosquito attraction gotta be the clouds, bro

I think people want to know....

I've never inhaled a gnat while vaping.

I have. Wasn't pleasant.

Perfect! Our test study....have you found that vaping gnat free juice leaves you ... wanting?

I find myself wandering to the water's edge on muggy summer's evenings.

Pfft. Two summers ago a beetle fell out of a tree into my ear canal, crawled down to my eardrum, and started trying (rather vigorously, I might add) to escape through it. Luckily he didn't have much in the way of mandibles, but it was still pretty unpleasant.

Luckily I was only a couple of blocks from a bar where they know me, so I sort of walked/hopped up there with one hand on my ear, cursing fluently. People were crossing the street to avoid me- I must have looked like a lunatic. They gave me a Q-Tip, and I went in the bathroom and crushed the thing to death.

It was around midnight by this point, so I had to go to sleep with the beetle still in my ear, but I went to one of those walk-in urgent care facilities the next day and had it removed. I think they thought I was nuts too, at first- they had a burly orderly stay in the room with me and the female physician who flooded my ear canal ('cause thinking you have bugs crawling around inside you is not always a sign of good mental hygiene, I guess.)

But I was vindicated when this little fellow popped out :

I mean I've heard people talk about having an earbug, but that's ridiculous. I don't worry much about swallowing gnats anymore- I just consider them a bit of extra protein and get on with my evening.

Even without nicotine?

No, but they can be habit forming. The word addiction means, or should mean an unhealthy dependance. If ecigs are damaging your health or some other important part of you life but you can't stop using them then you are addicted. Do you think ecigs are damaging your health?

That means my dog isn't addicted to me he's STALKING ME![emoji240]

Watching television is addictive and can damage ones' health(lack of exercise, sitting for hours, eye strain).
Vaping is the least addictive thing I see, well, that and chocolate.

Oh Geeze! I had a roommate wake me up at 7am swearing there was something in his head and begging me to drive him to the urgent care. Nurses looked at him crazy too but they also found a beetle in there when they looked.

Yeah, you know as a man, I might have guessed that the most sensitive tissues in my body were elsewhere before that incident, but if asked now I'd have to short-list my eardrums. Having something scrabbling away at them is... I'm not sure if painful is quite the right word, though it was painful. Intolerable might be the best word for it. It's the sort of thing that can make you appear not very sane while it's going on.

Not to be too gross or anything (by which I mean I am about to be very gross,) but you see those little red spots in the water? Weak mandibles notwithstanding, that's mostly blood the little bugger drew from the depths of my ear. So if I have one piece of advice to give, one life-lesson learned, it would have to be "don't get a beetle in your ear."

Not the mention the deterioration of the brain.

There is always something new to learn on ECF, even in this thread!

As vapers, we have access to silicone covers for drip tips, referred to as "carto condoms" a few years ago. One in each ear and you're good to go!

Helpful tip for a bug in your ear. Fill your ear canal with mineral oil. Should smother the sucker and then they should float to the surface (out of your ear). No idea if VG would do the same, but if nothing else is around, you can give that a shot before running off for emergency treatment.

This is one good piece of advice that I hope I NEVER have to use

I wonder if gnats are addictive.... time to start a thread.

No more than Waffles.

But Gnats can become addicted to e-Cigarettes. Slantz did a Study on it.

Oh! Things have improved! When I lived in central Fla as a kid, it was the flying cockroach. Long hair + flying cockroach = horrorshow.
