I've lost about 20 pounds while vaping, during the winter period when I normally put on a lot of weight. vaping makes me snack less, because it replaces not just cigarettes, but also the need for stuffing food in my mouth.

I too snack MUCH Less. I have lost weight due to vaping, but I'm not entirely sure how much. May also be related to drinking so much more water, or because I get my sweets fix from some of the juices I vape... Happy side effect! Hehe

Thank you to the staff for cleaning up the personal attacks
As to the topic, I don't know if vaping will eventually be proven to be as harmful, or more so , than smoking but I do know I've traded smoking for vaping. If not for vaping I was destined to rot and die from the effects of smoking. If vaping kills me, I was already destined to die anyway and instead of feeling worse each day as I get older I have , at least for now, a period where I have more energy,I feel better, my teeth are already starting to whiten up in under 3 weeks, I'm drinking more water and less soft drink, cutting way back on my chocolate intake and snacking (vs tripling my intake under other methods of cessation) and replacing it with exercise and spending more quality time with the family and friends. Like a dog leaves the pack to go take a poo in solitude, I used to leave the room or dwelling to go outside and smoke. I no longer fear dropping hot ashes on my Seahawks jacket and ruining an expensive item while being enslaved to "my mistress" as my doctor put it. I no longer base my existence on whether or not I've got enough cigarettes and a lighter to get me through until getting back to my carton and lighter stash. No more fearing about the bad weather predictions interfering with my ability to get to the store for more of what's killing me while making me feel like crap. I've got 5 batteries, chargers, 9 clearomizers (with 5 more in the mail) and enough different flavors to not have doubles of any (with more in the mail). I can also never imagine putting the effort into the custom paint job I've done to 2 of my batteries, lanyard ring and a clearomizer to a carton of cigarettes.
I've also joined a forum that has a very good membership base that has the common goal of helping the rest of the membership stay free from tobacco.

Hello,

It seems that so many people do not understand that electronic cigarettes should be used as cigarettes: it means smoke when you need it and put it back in the drawer.

I see so many people who keep smoking all day long, even at office, and I think that they are so stupid to quit an addiction for a new one, what do you think ?

Thank you for your ideas.

Wow, I bet you make friends easily.

Hi amateur:)
I'm thinking that something's not translating correctly.... because I'm sure you didn't just call me stupid because I'm addicting to vaping ???
It's good to see that everything is under control, just as my friends say <3

So it means that you all really believe that vapoting (as people who do not want to see the truth) is as healthy as drinking water right ?

Exactly like people were thinking about cigarettes 50 years ago...

What exactly were people thinking about cigarettes 50 years ago? I was too young to know. Please tell me? :)

people do not want to see what truth? what truth are you referring to amateur?

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. Do you have new information about drinking water? other than the fact that some people have died from drinking too much at once...or what are you saying?

And the favorite of the kids and my coworkers is when I shove one in each nostril, inhale, and blow it out my mouth like a dragon.

Can't do that with a cigarette, now can you.
Like the oompa loompa doompadie doo.


well technically you could do that with a cigarette, but I don't think it would feel good lol. and also to be a dragon wouldn't you inhale through the mouth and exhale through your nose... I

Anyone fed this troll lately? Guess I will give a nibble.

Did I give up one addiction for another? No.. I am still addicted to niccotine. Do I vape more than what I smoke? I'd say a bit yes. Is it stupid not to quit vaping? No.

People take skydiving, swimming, cycling, car racing, surfing, flying, and a zillion other hobbies in this world. ALL of those has had more fatalities, and even a higher percentage of deaths per user than E-cigarettes. Shouldn't you try to ban those, since they've killed more people than E-cigarettes? Are they stupid for cycling or swimming, or whatever since those have been KNOWN to cause deaths if used in excess? What is the percentage of deaths per e-cig user? probably in the NEGATIVE percentage, since E-cigarettes have probably prolonged and/or saved peoples lives. I can't think of any fatalities due to E-cigarette usage. I have read all of the FDA's consumer reporting files on E-cigarettes (yes, there is about 200-300 I'd say of people complaining since 2007). Only one involved a death. And the ocmplaint was: "I don't know what klilled him, but it could be E-cigarettes, I'll wait for the autopsy". Most other reports were mild, like dizziness, or ringing in the ears, and in all of those, they were vaping very high dosages of niccotine. There were about 3 complaints about batteries exploding, yet that happens with cell phones which use the exact same battery technology.

So, I do know how to use an E-cig. It has become a hobby for me, and it's a safe hobby. I am still addicted to nicotine, but guess what, I am vaping the absolute lowest amount available to me (6mg). I am also not addicted to the other chemicals I was when I was smoking regular analog cigarettes. Yes, there are other addictive chemicals in a cigarette other than nicotine. Calling someone's hobby stupid is kind of short sighted. I'd suggest you re-think that question and stop insulting us.

For any fans of Sublime:

I vape two vapes in the morning
I vape two vapes at night
I vape two vapes in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright...
I vape two vapes in time of peace... and two in time of war...
I vape two vapes before I vape two vapes - and then I vape two more...

:vapor:


Couldn't agree more. I vape more because I enjoy it more. Also I'm started vaping low or no nicotine juices just for the flavor, it's like chewing gum without the cavities.

I bought my vape kit a week ago and have not touched tobacco since. 8 days! I have carried half a pack of cigarettes around in my purse (k because I might just want one)... but haven't.

My vape is an e-Binky to me right now, seriously a lifeline against smoking. It's never "easy" to quit but this is the best one I've ever had. So if anyone thinks that's stupid I guess that's their problem ;)

You know what I find stupid your judgmental attitude. Who are you to come onto an Ecig forum and call people stupid seems to me your goal here is to troll and attempt to piss people off.
