Great! It's even changed on the old ones! :) ...I was torn between the Purple or the Blue, but when I compared, I actually like my old blue one best! View attachment 390709

Ooooo - nice call, I didn't notice that!! The vintage ones are going to become rarer and rarer - I kept the link to mine ;)

Congrats on 1 month, woot woot!!
Thank you so much. For real. If I would not have found the Virus when I did, I was going to buy a pack of Marlboros. Before heading to the gas station, I decided to give it a try, I just had received it from the mailbox so it was still in the purple wrapper. So I vaped it. And then I vaped it some more. And then more. And then I didn't want a cigarette anymore. The Virus is seriously my saving grace. Thank you for that.

I'd never know if I didn't listen - using ye olde C word never bothered me, but I can see how it might bother some people. I always looked at it as reinforcement as to why I chose to quit smoking and start vaping - but people are passionate about it... change was needed! I appreciate that folks keep an eye on my back like that - thanks everyone for the feedback!

Thank you Kent.

Speaking only for myself. Analog's, cancer stix, coffin nails etc...has bothered me since I arrived at this internet forum. It seemed that individuals who were seeking an avenue to quit smoking cigarettes, were avoiding the very word that landed them here. Why not face the delivery method squarely in the face and say, "Cigarette. I quit YOU."

Once that hurdle has been passed, everyone can then work on the last addiction for me. Nicotine.

I for one, as well as many others here, appreciate your attention to detail and respecting your client's needs!

Thanks Superman!!

Actually, nicotine in itself isn't the evil. It is addictive but for me it's addictive like craving a burger and fries. I can skip it but darn I really want a good greasy burger with a pile of fries and I'm going to be grumpy till I finally give in and have some.

As nicotine is separated from all the addictive crap BT has laced cigarettes with it is being found to be a very ignored beneficial treatment of many ailments. Studies on how nicotine does and does not harm us is in its infancy because of it's association to smoking. I think the future holds interesting revelations in regards to this chemical.

Nicotine is not the real culprit for any cigarette smoker. It is all the other additives designed to keep you coming back for more that are more addicting. There is a lot of research to back this statement.

Sorry about the wording in my post ladies, I went in and edited. I got too general. Nicotine is the only thing (except maybe a daily dose of Foie Gras) I have left on my addiction bucket list.

NT sure does make it a tasty way to lose my addiction to Nicotine, which IS a medicine Don Megan. I just happen to abuse that medicine.
And indeed, it is the other substances that made cigarettes so addictive. At this point in my vaping I am able to go substantially (like 8 hour) longer without feeling the need to vape. I made it an hour tops on cigarettes.

Thanks for prompting me to take a closer look at that post!

I've never tried to go 8 hours without - unless sleeping counts :D - but have found I can certainly go for a good few hours without. When I smoked, I would avoid anywhere that I couldn't pop out to smoke within an hour or so!

I'm still chain vaping. Except when I'm in my internship and even there I go to the bathroom every hour or so to take a vape "pee". Will my need to vape like a chain gang go away the longer I vape? I am still new, only a month in at 18mg (I was at 24mg until Clark moved me down to 18).

Thanks,
Dani

Pictor, I've found the same thing out about myself. I have gone as long as 5 hours without and that was not when I was sleeping. It's only when I'm stressed that I want to vape more. So now I'm wondering if I'm trying to tell myself I'm ready to step down to 3mg from 6. :confused:

Dani, you're still new at it. For me, the longer I went without cigarettes the less I chain vaped and could stretch the time out. I still have a tendency to chain vape when I'm stressed but only at home. I can't chain vape at work. :(

Kind of OT but about chain vaping. I was at work earlier sanding down some parts to be sent out and I stopped to take a break and took a few good chain puffs of Sure Bert and I heard in the back of the shop,"What the hell is on fire!?!?!?"

Then one of the guys at the next table over from me said,"It's not a fire it's just Travis." :lol: :lol:

Needless to say they are still getting used to me being a vaper and not a smoker, we all got a good laugh out of that. :D

I chain vape, but only two or three minutes at a time. That was not the case in the beginning. I chain vaped and felt like I could not get enough nic. I bought better hardware and it got easier. After a couple of times of getting the "too much nic" headache I quit vaping so much in one setting. The span of time between vape sessions naturally got greater so I stepped down my nic. Went back to vaping more, then longer without vaping as I adjusted. When I get to the point I can only vape a minute or two with hours between I step down my nic again. I started out at 32mg. Now I am down to 3mg with zero or 1mg in the dripper.

Everyone is different so you need to allow yourself time to decided what is right for you.

Do you vape with a Reo? (if you don't mind sharing)

Thank you!

I have one, but I only use NZ in it and not every day. Most of my e-liquids with nic are in various tanks. I like to change my flavors out a lot (3 or 4 in the same vaping session) so tanks are easier for me. I use a dripper in the evening for sampling lots of flavors.

I went to a B&M store and told them I wanted a "dripper" to sample different e-juices. They gave me a Stillare clone that I have to build. I wanted a "dripper" that I could sample juices with. I think there was a ton of misunderstanding because I walked out with a Stillare and knowing how to do my own coils. I didn't want that. I'm ok with that, but I really wanted what you're talking about.

HOW FRUSTRATING!!!

RDA's (Stillare and others) are also commonly called "drippers". RDA stands for Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer. You got what you asked for, but because the verbiage is being used to describe different things sometimes (things are called "tanks" but some you have to build coils on and some you do not) it can get confusing really quick. B&M staff should learn to ask a question or two to determine what someone really wants. A simple "Is there anything in particular you were looking for?" does wonders. With the answer, they can understand the needs of their customers. There is a sell, and then there is a good sell. The good sell gets people to come back :)

So, how much time have you had with the Stillare? Are you liking it so far?
