Don't hardly recognize anyone here anymore!

[sawlight]

Just popped in for a quick drive by, seen some strange tweets about another supplier so I wanted to see what was up there, and figured I may as well check in to see how everyone here was doing.
I see K9luver, and Dedi are still hanging around, but don't know many others!
I've tried it all now, Genesis style, RBA's, rda's, VV, VW, multi coil drippers and tanks, built a nasty W-6 quad for a while. Tried making my own juice to max the nic as high as I could, CBD oil, just everything I could think of, and others could think of. But after breaking my back, I just can't kill the stupid cigs! Spent three days in ICU two years ago, called the 1800 quit line, did the patch, chewed the gum, no love.
Gone from Tramadol to Oxycontin to Fentanyl now, fun stuff, it's four times stronger than Morphine and six times more addictive than ......? Something like that! Been a fun ride for sure!
Anyway, enough of my drivel, just popped in to say Hi to everyone that's left around. Hi, try and behave!

Have you tried NET nicotine juices? Might be the boost you need.
Om vapors has them.
Careful with that fent!

 

[sawlight]

I looked into them when they first came out, but they were cost prohibitive, to say the least at that time! I assumed the same was true now, I was wrong! Thanks for the tip!
I checked the source you provided, but none of the flavors really appealed to me, I'm a huge 710 fan, even worked out my own mixture of it! But with some research I found the thread with the winning NET's on ECF and just ordered a 30ml bottle for about 1/4 the price it used to be!
Glad I looked again! Thanks very much for the suggestion Cool!

 

[Coolloser]

Awesome, good I could help out!

 

[K9Luvr]

Hi Saw, good to see you're still around, sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time. Not many of us old timers left

 

[sawlight]

Yeah, I'm seeing that K9! Found a few in some other places, but not many!

 

[Nailz]

Nah the mechs went bye bye long time ago, with regulated mods moving to 1000 watts, they have the power, but still building though But you sure did help me out though, thanks

I remember back in the mid '80's, I had a linear amplifier I used for CB radio, legal was 5 watts, it would put out 1kw wound up. I could shut down the computers at Burger King sitting in the drive through, I could make automatic doors open at stores and occasionally a garage door would randomly open.
Not sure I need that much power on my lips?
You are most welcome! It was a pleasure to have gotten to know you and spend some time with you!
I've been looking at some of the new stuff out now, man, I feel like a cave man! Ceramic this, 300 watts of that and .03 ohms of the other! Drip tips the size of some of my old RDA's! I'm getting a little skeered!

Thank you dear, it's good to see you as well!

Well I've gotten a couple of NET juices, I'm still on the fence, they are rather earthy and dark! Supposedly they mellow after a couple of weeks steeping, but who has time for that? Guess I'll see if I can stick with one and order a boat load of it so it can come to fruition?
But we are trying and plugging along with it for now, down to around 1/2 PAD. Tonight and tomorrow will be a good test for it, supposed to have tornadoes and hail here in central KS and my body isn't a big fan of weather changes. I've been known to be up 2-3 days when the big temp swings and fronts move in. Those times it's pretty easy for me to suck down 3-5 PAD.

Will be interested to hear how you make out! Good juju to you!

Do the strong opioids make you wanna smoke/vape more? They sure did me (back injury too). Bests in finding ole friends.- David

 

[sawlight]

Yes, at least the pain does. Not sure the meds have any effect on my cravings or not. But yes, I'm either chain smoking, or chain vaping.
I need to do some research on the WTA's now, that may be what I'm missing as I'm not noticing much difference between the normal juice and the NET. BUT, I'm not really fond of the flavor of the NET juices either, so take that with a grain of salt.

 

[lizziebith]

Hi Saw! I remember ya from way back when! The WTAs worked for hubby who had a harder time than I putting down the cigs. Good luck, and good to see you!

Oof. Good luck and good to meet you! I'm Smilin's assistant and he sends his love to everyone on the forum. I'll have an update on him soon too.

I don't envy you with the Fentanyl. That stuff can be pretty scary. WIshing you the best on your journey. And I'm always here if ya need to vent!

Let me know how the NET works out for you. I have a good friend who smokes cigarettes, pipes, cigars AND uses snuff. Maybe that would be an option for him.

He too has been on opioid medication, and for him, it seems like the more he was on the more he smoked.

Thank you for the support dear, means a lot! I used to haunt this section a lot!
The NET's are helping a lot, I'm still smoking some, but 2-8 cigs vs 2-5 PAD, I'd call that pretty good progress! It took some time to find a juice I liked, and I'm still not completely in love with what I am using, but it's growing on me. The NET's seem to have a dark and earthy tone to them and after using the sweeter e-juice it takes some getting used to! I've settled on Heather's Dragon's fire, it's a strong tobacco with a hint of dark chocolate, not the sweet goodness, but it smooths it out some. If your friends want as close to a real Marlboro as they can get, try her Dark Horse, it was too much for even me, and I like me some tobacco!
I'm still at 36mg and playing around with gear to find what I like, all the new stuff is so airy and it's hard to find the old Kayfun lites!
But the NET's do work for me, hopefully they'll help your friends? I hate recommending another vendors juice in your forum, but as you guys don't carry anything like it, I did, I hope it can help your friends.
