Yes, but you're forgetting one very important thing: It's all about me. As soon as everyone else realizes this, the sooner we'll all be happy.

That cracked me up, and reminded me of something that my husband used to say:

"If you think that your problems are equal to mine,
I'm forced to admit that it's true;
But consider that my problems happen to ME,
And yours merely happen to you!"

I miss that man ...

Now I know what a mouse feels like when he looks at a trap. He knows this won't end well, but he just can't help himself.
Perhaps I will do this. There is always the anonymous option there.

But if you post it on this thread, I'll snag your photo and include it in the Volt Class of 2012 collage. :)

I like that!
The hardcore version of this is: "Tragedy minus me equals comedy". Not very nice, but there are some days I really feel that way. Sad.

I am starting to see one scary problem with vaping. I find that I take drags much more often than when I was smoking. The thing is becoming my pacifier! I'll need to lower the nic content soon or I'm going to get nic poisoning. LOL

A lot of people report that they chain-vape. You are not alone. I think it's easy to take the occasional drag often because you don't have to light it and then feel compelled to smoke a whole cigarette. You can just take a puff or 2, wait a bit, take another puff, etc. I sort of like it that you can do that.

Frankly, it's probably more likely that you need the raise you nic. PV's are really not great nicotine delivery devices, and we have to work harder to get what we were getting from analogs. Unless you are getting headaches or your lips start tingling, you're not likely to get nic poisoning.

Hmmm. Hadn't looked at it like that. I'm at 24mg already, so it's kinda worrisome to consider going up farther. I'll have to give this a bit more thought.

OH
Most people find that they tend to vape more than they smoked. My personal belief is because 1. they can 2. It tastes better 3. It's a new toy 4. It's enjoyable 5. It's an oral fixation thing (I tend to chew on pens, pencils, etc now I chew on my volt even when I'm not vaping but that's just me :p )
The nic is what helps with the cravings so if your not craving an analog then your nic strength is good for you. If you're afraid that you'll over do it on the nic try using variable strengths throughout the day. Lower nic when you don't really crave a cig but feel like vaping higher nic when you're really craving.

Another thought is to try WTA (whole tobacco alkaloid) in your nic liquid. I've toyed with that, but the tobacco flavor isn't my cup of tea, so I haven't really pursued it after that first day. I ordered some flavorless liquid with WTA, and it hasn't come yet, so we'll see what that does. The idea is that nicotine isn't enough, that you also crave the other chemicals in cigarettes, particularly the WTAs. So some companies have experimented with extracting some of the other chemicals and adding them, too. You can Google it and learn a lot about it. I posted a condensation of my findings in the old thread. You can search for it if you want to read what I found out. There's a contest where maybe you could win some, too.

I'd go with #1 and #5. I think about analogs sometimes, but I don't crave one. It's so early for me, it's just force of habit to think about them.
