And you haven't even tasted deejStuff yet. Imagine how enthusiastic you'll be in a few days.
I always love these moments when I get to educate another person on vaping. Planting a seed of knowledge that can grow to strengthen another persons determination of quitting. Of course after you plant the seed it is up to them to either nurture it or let it fall to ruin.
I think that this determination is the most important factor in switching to vaping. It is still a change and people in general dislike change, especially changing a long term comfort like analogs. I think that people become more comfortable with change when they have the knowledge that helps them to strengthen that determination to the change.
In other words, that's awesome. I hope your knowledge helps him to quit.
And keep it up. The more people with knowledge of e-cigs, the less ignoramuses that we have that want to ban/smear them.
Call me an oddball, but I didn't need a whole lot of determination. To me vaping seemed like smoking, with cool gadgets, but cheaper. So I was more lured in than wanting to quit. Sure I knew in the back of my mind all my life that I should and need to quit, but for me the transition took little effort.
I knew that all I had to do was make sure my body craved for nothing. The devices took care of the oral / hand fixation. Having high enough nicotine levels took care of the addiction. I told myself that as long as I could be satisfied with that, I could have a new hobby and play with / learn about all kinds of new toys and gadgets.
It took a little experimentation at first, finding the right equipment that would produce vapor as thick and satisfying enough to replace cigarette smoke. But with a $350 / month cigarette budget to now throw at gear, it didn't take too long.
All the extra flavors was just the icing on the cake. Only thing I really had to learn to do without was lighting stuff on fire.
Edit: In fact with me being out of work and all, vaping is a godsend. If I still had the 1.5 pack a day habit, I'd really be hurting right now. Money's still tight, but if I was still smoking I'd surely be in some major negative numbers by now.

hmmm. i wasn't determined either. I thought it'd be cool if vaping helped me cut back on smoking, but didn't even expect that. If i wanted to smoke, i smoked. Once i got my nicotine levels right, and got used to the difference in inhale, i just gradually wanted to smoke less and less, until i was down to no cigs at all. I didn't even contemplate actually quitting until i'd gone several days without smoking.
I'm kind of oppositional, and if i'd pressured myself it'd have been much less pleasant, and possibly less successful.

I found it effortless too. A measly little 808, some 24mg liquid that would taste like garbage by my current standards and I quit a 40+ year smoking habit that had withstood cold turkey, nicorette, hypnosis, SmokeEnders, Wellbutrin and acupuncture.
And I'm lucky I saved a lot over the years. It doesn't cost me a lot to live on, but if I hadn't quit the hole in my savings since losing my job 3 years ago would be $50k bigger than it is.
I want my cold to go away. First I couldn't taste the cheesecakes and fruit taffies. Then I couldn't taste the peppermint -- Poeia's MG and Chocolate Peppermint Taffy. And I just tried Caramel Macchiato and it's gone too.
I can't even vape my garbage flavors -- I got rid of everything I don't like. I'm just going to concentrate on my really old juices. So it's fruit taffy and tiramisu for me until I'm better. (My tiramisu was part of Deej's "premixed" experiment. It's so flavorful I'm sort of getting a hint of something on the exhale. Not enough to call it "flavor" but sort of close.)

Oh, don't get me wrong as I found it effortless as well but all of you have showed determination in switching to ecigs.
The definition of determination is "the act of coming to a decision". We all came to a decision to take that first step and try ecigs. I was just trying to say that knowledge helps people make that first step and give it a try/chance.

Yikes, that's a pretty bad cold if you can't even taste the peppermint flavors.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hope ya get better soon Poeia. You know how I felt for quite a long time. My sense of smell is pretty much back now to around 98%. I've still got a couple of oddball issues.
Seems almost as if my brain needed to be reprogrammed and got a couple things wrong. For a while there was a whole group of things (class?) that smelled the same odd way. I knew it wasn't right and all of these things didn't normally smell that way or like each other. But most of that has cleared up now.
I'm now able to enjoy all of my favorite vapes and the majority of foods. It's taken months, as most of you know, to get to this point. But I'm guessing what I lost was the sum of what's been acquired and refined over most of my life. So getting as much back as I have now in only a matter of months is pretty good. It can only get more finely tuned with time.

Good morning
(sheesh, you'd think they'd at least gone for beer that that was slightly more drinkable...)

Good morning everbuddy!
In PA you can't get beer in a convenience store, but I'd imagine most don't carry a huge selection. Still, Bud light is practically water with very little alcohol content.
If you're going to that much trouble, and even if you aren't bright enough to maximize on quality, you think they'd at least grab one each.
I know right? Or at least take 2 maybe?Good morning
