[Petrodus]

Liquid with nicotine can not be sold in Australia because
it's classed as a schedule seven poison ... so Australian vapers
have to ship nic e-liquids in from outside the country.

Obviously ... vapers will ALWAYS find the "work-a-around"

Hey I spotted the vaping Greek in there.

vaping increases in Australia despite prohibition, demonization, and lies by prohibitionists.

Yes, yes I was. Greying beard and glasses with the Jazz Cartopipe with Churchwarden stem. My lovely wife was beside me.

I did learn something new today watching this video. I didn't realize that ex smokers can now be sucked back into nicotine with e-cigs! Where do these people come up with this stuff?

The 'expert' S1m0n Ch4pm4n that they featured is a zealot. Resorting to insults, ie calling us pathetic, to push his agenda. His smartarse comments about not hearing about nicotine patch user clubs is bollocks as Nicorette's own website recommends support groups.

Kind-a-sorta related story

I met a guy (in his 50's) a few months back while shopping.
He noticed my PV and we got to talking. He said he quit smoking
cold-turkey 10 year ago and not having the relaxing soothing habit
of smoking has been driving him crazy everyday since.

I mentioned he could vape Zero nicotine.
His face lit up like a Christmas Tree and said REALLY ??
He since bought a PV and some Zero nic flavor he loves
and now he's in 7th Heaven ... told me he no longer is
even tempted to smoke a stinky.

You know what.... there you go...it doesn't have to be nicotine. Good call Petrodus. People probably do "suffer" some difficult times long after quitting. I never thought about it. Tho I did quit for a 1 1/2 years cold turkey and come to think of it, I always had TERRIBLE cravings. They never did stop. I always thought about cigarettes and it sucked, probably why I started back up!

Many coffee lovers who don't want caffeine ...
switch to "Decaffeinated" coffee.
They don't give their enjoyable relaxing morning cup of coffee !!

 

[Petrodus]

More food for thought ...

Why do ya think many vapers who switched to e-smoking 36MG e-liquids
some time ago ... are now vaping 16MG or even 9MG ??

Some say they are trying to reduce nic consumption to Zero.
Others say their goal is to eventually give up e-smoking.

The reality is ... for most vapers ...
Many simply are no longer addicted to nicotine ...
to the extent they were on the day they switched to e-smoking
and find today 36MG is "too harsh" ... not enjoyable.

Why do you think we enjoy vape machines that create large vapor clouds ??
Because they give us more nicotine per puff ??
NO ... We enjoy the "Vaping Experience" with large visible vapor clouds ...
IT'S AN ENJOYABLE RELAXING FUN EXPERIENCE.

Many who have been vaping for some time ...
No longer even inhale each puff or inhale deeply every time we take a puff.
We will when under stress ... when not we won't. E-smokers just like smokers
self-regulate.

Want to impress a smoker ??
Blow a Huge Vapor Cloud !!

You're right - it's about vaping experience for me and not the nicotine anymore.

Started with 36 mg and now am using 12 mg, but not because I was trying to reduce the nic strength but because as you said it started filling too harsh.

Vaping for me is a relaxing experience!

There are ANTZ who believe that if you use nicotine from some other source you are at high risk of relapsing.

I believe they base this on those who use NRTs as directed, stop smoking, and then are so uncomfortable without nicotine that they go back to the old reliable source: Smoking.

What never occurs to them is that if smokers smoke for the nicotine, if you give them enough nicotine to prevent feeling uncomfortable and continue providing it, there is no reason to relapse to smoking.
