Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Just sayin'……there are a few things that I think ecigs are lacking in……but so are cigarettes now. And well, the rest of life thanks to being afraid of ruining children or something.
There is definitely a place in this world for a "vape easy" type bar.
Side note……if you haven't seen A Single Man and don't explicitly hate gay people……it's phenomenal. If you haven't seen it and you do explicitly hate gay people……it might change some of your opinion if you're not a lost cause.

I remember when I was a kid, my mother used to send me in to buy her cigarettes. They were just 35 cents for a pack of Winston.
Years later, I remember swearing that I'ld quit once the price of a pack of generics got over $1.

I remember at age 7 or 8 running out to the corner store in the city to pick up two packs of Marlboro reds for my parents for $1.80 each and then being given a penny candy from the clerk and sent on my way. That city was New York City. Today, those 2 packs would cost $25 at the very same corner store, there is no such thing as a candy that costs a penny and the clerk would have called the police who would then place me in state custody and hauled off my parents for abuse and negligence. Mayor Bloomberg would have held a press conference with a crying 7-year old me at his side within the hour to serve as an example. Woah - times have changed.
At those prices, why does anyone in NYC smoke? I mean…I understand addiction as well as the next guy and better than most, but that's insane. Do cartons really cost around $130? Are PAD smokers really spending $5,000 a year?
Penny candy!! I miss that stuff. I remember getting a pack of Vantage for my pops when I was a kid. Can't remember the prices. I want to say under a dollar. As a reward for being a "good boy" and playing fetch, he would give a little extra cash for me to get myself an RC Cola and Moonpie! Heck, I'm still addicted to that combo. Haha.
I've never bought by the carton (though I probably should have in hind sight), but yes, the cheapest I've gotten them for at a gas station/corner store is about $11.75 with tax and as high as $12.50 at the local deli by my job. Due to convenience, it was $12.50 a day for analogs for me. I used to pay $8 for some Nat Sherman's and thought it was highway robbery, but you pay for the quality. I can't even imagine what a Nat Sherman costs now. Some folks I know pay more the further downtown you head. It's insane. I could sit here, high and mighty with my PV, and laugh at current smokers and think that maybe the price gouging will get them off of analogs, but the sad truth is that I regularly went without lunch to afford a pack of cigs and I can't imagine how far the addiction might have driven others, especially in poorer parts of town. Yes, when you do the math, you can save for a down payment on a car if your a PAD smoker in NYC. I posted once that with the amount of money I would save on analogs in a year that I could buy the folks on that thread a Provari each and still have money left over... I wasn't joking.
From what I hear, it's just as bad in Toronto and some other big anti-smoking cities.
I mean…I figured out that I could buy a provari every 2 months, start a carto every day, and still come out on top compared to cigarettes……and that was on around $7/pack.
If I were smoking in NY, I probably would have started with a provari and considered it a steal.

I was a farmer for most of my life (now I'm a network admin). I lived ten miles from the nearest town with cigarettes, and then only until 9 pm, you had to go for 15 miles after that. I would often then be 30 or 40 minutes off the gravel road in a tractor in a field.
If your lighter died, that was just as bad.
I once was way off the road and knew I wouldn't be back for hours. My lighter died, so I ran the tractor one pass across the field in one gear too high. It ran the exhaust turbo much hotter. I could hop off, shield my face with a leather glove, and get one lit by touching it directly to the turbo.
Then I had to chainsmoke, of course...

until last week I was rolling my own, 16 bucks for a pound of tobacco and 2 bucks for a carton of tubes.....now vape 4 whats left of my life lolol
I remember when, over this past weekend, I ran out of smokes and paid $10.00 for a pack at the casino we were staying at. Called my bro the next morning to give me info on the tube thingy I saw him smoking the day before. So, hopefully I can hold out until my vaping gear gets here and save some dough in the process of trying to quit!
Thomas when you can...get some RY4, it's the only thing that has pulled me thru this quitting process
31 years of 1 1/2 to 2 packs per day

haha I've done this too many times to count
also i remember giving my analogs away and a few hours ( sometimes less) later asking for one back hahaha
how times have changed ^_^
Oh yea! Of course, I have to get out of the main town to get them. Matter of fact, I go to the VA/NC border station store and can still find them in glass bottles. Small glass bottles, but, glass none-the-less.
