Cigarette Newbie

[djtonyb]

Hmmm try turing down the volts or watts.............

Is the green one the watts? I may have gotten in over my head... the mules have eaten every bit of green stuff in the yard, one of the wheels on my Rolls is square, I have no more large appliance cartons for my box mod, I'd have to swim at least 90 miles for a real Cuban cigar, and I can't afford a Propipi. I really need a vape!!! 8-o

I've been trying to follow all the helpful advice that you wonderful people have been so generous with, but my results are just not what I was expecting. It seems that no matter what setup I have tried, I just keep getting an awful burnt taste with absolutely no flavor.

It is possible that you have set fire to your tongue &/or nose. Seek immediate assistance.

 

[The Ocelot]

At home, I've been using one of these:

Maybe this is the source of that burnt taste?

You shouldn't turn your back on them, I think they're plotting something. They don't fool me.

 

[SnakeFarm]

That it is! Since you have found our feeble attempts at humo(u)r so disappointing you might consider posting to another thread where your rapier wit would be more appreciated.

Wow! Ok. I was just trying to have some fun, but since I'm just a twit that just can't navigate the subtle nuance of this thread, I'll leave the sarcasm mockery and derision to you cool kids.

Ciao.

Going to hell
A longish story.. but there's a moral.. bear with me.

Debit card got hacked by some stupid ecig vendor 2 days ago. I was buying more nic to fill in the air pockets of my cigs.. (all that wasted space inside of a smoke irks me). I tried Drano but wasn't getting the satisfaction i needed.

ANYway.. now i don't have access to my checking account until my new card comes. I could have gone to the bank but who does that anymore? It's so very last year.

I RAN OUT OF CIGARETTES.

I went into panic mode. I'm frantically looking for a pack of smokes i may have stashed away.. go out to the car and look in the glove box.. nothing there but a new testament bible my dad gave me years ago, a tire air gauge thingy and one lens to a pair of glasses (wth? I don't wear glasses. Weird).
I look under all the seats.. even stuck my hand into the "forbidden" zone.. you know.. the space between the seat and armrest. ANYthing could be down there when you have a car as old as mine. I dig out a couple of petrified french fries, a packet of ketchup and a broken off filter from a marlboro light. No cigarettes.

Desperate times, people. I had no choice. I haul out the vacuum and put a new filter in it.. i suck up every piece of tobacco i could find. Even the questionable ones covered in what could only be 2 year old honey mustard sauce. I take all of my purses and turn them inside out in the hopes that a flyaway cigarette may have broken in half and i didn't clean it out. SCORE! i must have had what would amount to half a cigarette's worth of tobacco on my kitchen table.

Here's the part where I'm probably going to hell. I look around for something to roll the tobacco in. Books? What are those? I have a kindle. Just when I'm about to give up hope i remember the bible from the glove box..

I looked for the samson and delilah story about them doing naughty things and they turn into ash.. i figured if i used THAT page to roll my honey mustard cigarette, it might lessen my chances of burning. But i remembered that was the old testament..
i tear out a few pages from the binding.. empty the vacuum bag on the kitchen table to combine the vacuumed up tobacco pieces with the purse pieces. I rolled it up and smoked it all in one sitting. Perhaps the best cigarette of my life.

The moral of the story is. If you don't have a book.. the ancient kind with paper and a spine.. go buy one.

I've been using matches for about 4 months, but looking to upgrade to something with an adjustable flame. Please advise.

 

[e-pipeman]

If you google "gas cooker" you'll find what you're after. Make sure you get one on wheels.

 

[Ref Minor]

Alternatively pull out the synthetic filter material and stuff the resulting space with cotton, a few wraps of wire in there can help to keep it structurally intact. I do this with all the cigarettes I buy as the stock filters just don't do it for me

Are you smoking the filter material and no tobacco? Common problem, just rip off the filter then no more burning and yucky tatse.

That reminds me of the time I was vaping, my battery had run out and I was jonesing, luckily I had my kindle and a screwdriver set, funnily enough I was reading The Necronomicon on it at the time, anyway, I managed to rewire the kindle to recharge the battery which got me through until I could get to a gas station where I bought 20 B&H, my first smokes in 2years, I never looked back. I should have gone straight for a cigar or Propipi with hindsight though.

i went down to the B&M that just opened up, but they only sells the batts in 20LB options, and they all seem to have very large 510 threading. if anyone has a link to a cheaper option, preferably with free shipping...

edit: and they had the gall to demand a deposit

yes,,,,,,,,you will burn in hell,,,,,,,no doubt about it,,,,,,

but I hear they have plenty of lights down there, so it may not be all bad.

Don't beat yourself up, if you a need a vape do it then go back to tobacco smoking, we all need a weaning off period. I have to admit I still sneak a strawberry shortcake vape from time to time.
I tried making a strawberry shortcake cigar, crushed freeze dried strawberries, some flour and some coffee creamer wrapped in cigar leaves. Little did i know I was making an explosive cigar as these powders ignite!!!!!!! Later learned it on Burn Notice that Fe did it to blow up a building. So here I go again.........

Is the green one the watts? I may have gotten in over my head... the mules have eaten every bit of green stuff in the yard, one of the wheels on my Rolls is square, I have no more large appliance cartons for my box mod, I'd have to swim at least 90 miles for a real Cuban cigar, and I can't afford a Propipi.

[CommaHolly]

yes, yes, I completely agree,,,,,,,don't beat yourself up,,,,,,,,

think about how many vapes you AREN'T having when you smoke those cigars/cigarettes! You'd probably be having many more if you weren't smoking!

Bics have adjustable flames and are a good upgrade from matches. Enjoy!

I've been using matches for about 4 months, but looking to upgrade to something with an adjustable flame. Please advise.

update: one of my mates lent me his bic to use for a night at the pub. after many people asked to try it, i got annoyed and decided i'm going to stick with matches. my current book of matches is roughly a month old, with less than 300 strikes on its flint. rather than buy a whole new set of matches, how hard is it to rebuild the striking surface?

If you can get the matches with the red tips you can strike them on ANY rough surface - a wall, your cat's chin etc.

 

[p-doze]

my mother is starting to grow a bit of a beard now that she's old, i'll strike a few on her chin next time i see her. speaking of which, is 73 too old to take up smoking? it breaks my heart to see her using her oxygen mask as a driptip

Disconnect the tube from the oxygen tank (remembering to close the valve, oxygenis dangerous) then taking a deep drag of your cigar, blow slowly and steadily into the tube until her chest rises. Wait 10s and then repeat. With all that smoky goodness entering her body I can guarantee she won't be lying ill in that bed for much longer.

Well, I was finally able to find a farmer nearby who has agreed to stable the mules in his farm and is willing to bring my 20 mule mod box to my apartment every day. They even haul away any poop from in front of my apartment when they come pickup the mules at the end of the day. They do it all for free as long as they can have the poop to use as fertilizer. It's a win-win situation!

Don't stress yourself because you have to sneak in some vapes while you save for hay for your mules. Just don't do it in public.

Try turning the cigarette so that the brown end and not the white end is in your lips.remember this poem to help:
brown to lips.filter tips
white to lips.burnt taste in the mouth.
Yes. I know it doesn't rhyme ( i need a cigarette).Sheesh

Matches already have an adjustable flame. Simply light one and use it to light all the others.It's called the genie. genie-us or what?
