Dr OKed e-cigs for Luncg cancer patient

[sooprvylyn]

Just thought I'd share this with you guys.

I have a lung cancer patient living upstairs from me who has not been able to stop smoking(not a big surprise to us ex-smokers). I showed her my PV and gave her a battery, carts and charger to play with for a few days. She liked it. Told her to consult her Dr about it.

Well the verdict is in, Dr says she should definately go for it!

I'll be gifting her a V4L Vapor King(and extras) next week when I get it in.

Bless you. I wish the best for her.

That's a great thing for you to do. Hope it gives her some quality of life.

Bless your heart! As a former nurse, I think what you are doing is wonderful. I know from experience that lung cancer is usually not something that people come back from, and you are going to make her last days here more comfortable and enjoyable. Wishing her the best, and you for your kind heart. KDK

So nice Soopr!

I know someone w/ real bad COPD. Her lung doctor also said Ok but just to get good quality ejuice.

You are very kind. I feel blessed that I way lead to this alternative and have been able to stick through the mechanical difficulties and taste changes. Thanks ECF! It's a sad fact that many of the people who could most benefit from e-cigs, us older smokers, haven't heard about this revolution and are not comfortable with the internet. So, offering your support on a personal level is vital. We really ARE talking about matters of life and death here. Keep fighting the good fight.

Wow amazing, it's safe in other words! Good going!

Yep, ordered her kit earlier along with some flavors so she can find the one she likes best. I'll have her set up by early next week. She is a menthol smoker so if any of you have info on some good juice(preferably made in USA) let me know so I can get it to her to try.

 

[PapaJoe8]

FreedomeSmokeUSA, TastyVapor, LitecigUSA (VG Rath). I'm sure there are many more but these are some I use. All USA made juices.

Good that you posted this, not surprised Dr. OKed PV.

Halo has good menthol made in USA.
I like the Menthol Ice.
The Truepure Menthol is more like a cig.

Dekang may be selling over 90% of the e-liquid. See this.

I get some menthol which is popular from strictlyejuice.

You need to determine nic. level.

What a great thread! Hope she can make it without smoke...

Thanks for the info. I got her a bunch of samplers from V4L in different menthol flavors, also different nic levels. Hopefully she will like at least one of them. I have a feeling that for the time being she will just use preloaded carts. I will look into the liquids you have suggested for her too.

Way to go sooprvylyn! You're a very thoughtful and generous neighbor. I have an uncle back in PA who has been on oxygen and still smokes. Many times I have wished that I lived close enough to see if I could get him switched to ecigs.

 

[sooprvylyn]

Send him one as a gift with some literature. It will help to find out his brand first.

How's the vapor output on that stuff? The only one I've tried is V4Ls Cool, which doesnt really have much vapor, good taste though. I've never been a menthol guy.

WOW that was so awesome of you to give her an opportunity to see if it was something she would like as an option! Kudos to you and just remember karma can mean everything!

You should always treat your neighbors(literally in this instance) as you would have them treat you. I would have been so greatful if someone had shared this with me 5 years ago instead of my having smoked for 5 more years and doing the extra damage I have done.

It would be awesome if someone would take the approach of Big Tobacco with PVs. If Big T decided to jump into this market they would offer free or cheap kits KNOWING that they would more than recoup the costs of the kits in future sales of carts, liguids and components. The only problem with Big T is that they would likely increase the nic content to ensure future sales to addicted customers.
