Back On Analogs...For Now

[carpedebass]

I was hoping that my atty would make it until my new one arrigved from the sparkplug folks, but...no such luck!! Once again, I'm caught with no backups...GAHH!! I'm about sick of attys!! I think I may use the new one that's on the way as backup when my new clearomizers and adapter get here!! Till then...I'm analogging again.

I wish I could just go ahead and spend the money to get enough stuff to have a good backup, but money is so tight right now!!

Thanks for letting me rant! Now...get back to work!!

 

[Thank You]

umm why didnt you go to your local gas station.. i.e. 711

and get a disposable e-cig????

 

[carpedebass]

Ummm...because none of my local gas stations sell them. Not to mention, I'm not going to pay $12 for a disposable ecig that'll last a day maybe.

 

[Thank You]

umm.. but you'll buy a pack of cigs?

alrighty then.. you win.

 

[carpedebass]

WOW! Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the judgement bed this morning...huh? A pack costs me $4.00, and is right down the street. The only place I know of tht sells the disposables in about 10 miles away...and I'm not driving that in traffic to pay 3X the price. Thank you very much. Now...anyone have anything useful to say?

I really didn't start this thread to have to explain myself to you Thank You. Geez!

Dont listen to Thank You. Do what you have to do bro. It happens to the best of us. I'm a college student so money is tight. Just a few weeks ago, I had a similar problem. I had no back up batteries because I didn't have a back up charger. Long story short, I decided not to get a back up charger and decided to get a provari to reward myself for working so damn much before classes started again.

Don't worry about a few analogs. As long as you know you'll get back on your feet, whats the difference. Good luck.

 

[Thank You]

i could've sworn you wanted to rant.

i was just joining the party.

I will get back on my feet just as soon as my backups arrive. I also have backup for my backups...so I should be good. Thanks for the kind words. Best of luck to you in school!!

Even I (Mr. Drip into an atty, hate cartos) have a pack of cartomizers as an atty backup..... just say'n. They're inexpensive. Shhhh.... don't tell anyone tho. I originally purchased them for driving when I couldn't drip......

I get my atties 3 for $25.00 and they last me a month each or more if I want. So make sure you are using them properly, or give us more info if you have Q's.

Good Luck!

I am somewhat with Thank you a disposable e-cig lasts beyond 2 pack of reg cigs it sounds to me like a semi excuse to smoke again.

However, you are your own Boss and can do whatever the hack you want. I love vaping I vape like a champ and still have a cig every now and than. Am I mad about it? hell no I don't need it but I sure don't mind a nasty cig to a cold beer.

Do whatever you want just wanted to bring up the fact most disposables are $10 which is equal to 2 packs of cig and lasts longer + "healthier".

I just don't understand why they're not lasting longer. I blow them out every night, and every couple of days I do an alcohol soak overnight with a complete dry and blow out the next morning. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but the last one lasted almost 2 full weeks this time, so it's an improvement.

 

[carpedebass]

Want to Quit...I'm afraid you're wrong! I really would rather vape. But the least expensive disposables around here are around $12 and are a pain to get to on the other side of town. My new stuff should be here in about 2 days, so I can either spend $8 for smokes or $24 for disposables. By the way, I have tried the disposables and they lasted me no where near 2 days. But it could just be me...lol! They also told me that one drop of liquid was equal to a pack.

what PG/VG blend are you using? Also, keep in mind the "thicker dark sweeter" juices tend to kill an atty a lot quicker..

A few cigs won't kill yah. Do what you gotta do. Last night I forgot my e-cig and I was at this party.

For the first time in MONTHS I bummed a few cigs off my brother. I was almost in awe when I held it in my hand.

I told my brother "this isn't NATURAL!" It was very weird, I forgot how short and tiny they are and how little smoke you get from them. I didn't mind the taste at all, but the smell on my hands afterwards was terrible!

It was sufficient while it lasted. But I woke up today and didn't think of it as a failure. I'm vaping today and that's all that really matters. I wish I had my banner that told me how many e-cigs I avoided, IDK what happened to it. I'm pretty sure I prob avoided thousands of cigarettes, a few ciggies doesn't ruin it for me.

I feel accomplished I didn't scurry to get a pack this morning after smoking last night. I realized I enjoy e-cigs over cigarettes and if I want to smoke a cigarette, I'll smoke a FREAKING CIGARETTE!

I have to agree with the disposable, but since its not in your reach it's understandable.

Also Just a question... Do people really have a hard time not smoking cigarettes? I personally prefer the e-cig over cigarettes. I like the taste and besides the health benefits, its an overall better experience for myself.

If someone put a pack of cigs and a e-cig in front of me i'd choose the e-cig with no problem.

And to be totally honest, if e-cigs caused cancer, I'd still vape.

I'm in it for the personal preference, not the health benefits; that's just extra.

Ugh! I feel for you! I fear I will one day have major equipment failure and not be able to get new supplies fast enough! I'm doing my best to make sure that doesn't happen, but I'm so new to this and have already spent more than I had originally expected. So stocking up on any more supplies at the moment isn't an option. Good luck to you when you get your supplies!

If you would like a pack of CE2 510 cartos for backup, an older revision (from last Nov), you're welcome to them. Just PM your addy. (I'm an 808 person, got them during a brief foray into Riva 510 land).

Oh well 2 days smoking won't kill you so best of luck hang in there sir.

 

[mylose64]

I forgot to mention. I'm totally with you on the atty's.

They suck! I know some people love them, but they are only good when you first get them. Idk what it is, but my atomizers taste terrible. I think the wick is burnt, and no matter how hard I try I can't get it out. It's like fused into the coil in ALL of my atty's.

I'm a huge fan of CE2's. Just rinse them out and dry burn.

Clearomizers are my favorite though. Sadly they don't sell them at liberty-flights so I picked up the G4 carts. I can't wait to try them.

Definitely get some backups!! I'm learning the hard way!!

@Mylose64...I'm the same way! I prefer vaping over smoking, but cannot justify the price of spending more on vaping disposables than smoking.

@Thank You...I ordered several bottles of 50/50 PG/VG. Mostly sweet, and dark juices. Now I know better, but I feel like I need to use these juices up...or maybe I'll pay them forward...do the clearomizers handle dark sweet juice better?
