I started vaping about 5 years ago, probably more. I bought them when it was like the cheap gas station cigarette. Pre filled carts. Threw most of them away because I thought they were defective. They were just slightly over filled. I paid over a hundred dollars for 2 batterys and a cart to start. Now you can buy that at shops for $10 and a charger to boot. Now I coveted those carts, I had to make them last. One cart was supposed to last 2 packs worth and it did. I counted to 10 and I had to stop because that was how many drags were in a cigarette. They cost slightly less than a pack, course a pack was like 4 then or something. It was revolutionary and I felt so smart.
Now it came a time when I stopped and I started to smoke again. Yes it made me sick for a day or so. I went up to 3 packs a day. I said that was bad and weened myself down never to do that electric thing again. What happened. I started vaping more because I liked the tastes. Since you don't have a cig to tell you when to stop.. keep going. I started back vaping when times were rough and I had no money. In these days it's so cheap. Go from $3.50 for 1 pre filled cart to about 5 dollars for 10ml. Is that crazy or what. Now the real crazy thing is I'm watching hungry for change on Netflix, sucking on a watermelon flavor I got free in a shipment. From what they told me I looked at my tank and felt so sorry, so bad.. Hey, I don't even like watermelon. Why was I smoking the hell out of it. Because of the sugar. I won't even say anything about diet cola sweeteners. You seriously need to watch that. Everyone is so worked up that e-cigs will be taken away. They won't, now I see that the food industry is taking over which is much bigger and worse than big tobacco. Remember a REAL cig which you would have never had was like 5mg nic. They sprayed extra nic and flavorings on it to make it addictive. (how else are you getting your tobacco flavoring) I think they've been waiting for someone to come back and try to sue a e-liquid distributor with giving them type 2 diabetes. Whether they should keep it DIY or not is the major question.
Now before everyone raises their fists in the air and screams crucify I do believe in electronic cigarettes. They work and they are good. But it is the user. Anyone can abuse anything that is good and make it bad. How is it bad. Well look at the side of your light saber handle I mean "mod". There is a counter there, depending on what you have it might be all day or since you last turned it off. If you are over 400 you have a problem. This means you smoked slightly over 2 packs of cigs, that is if you smoke 18mg or higher. A vape is equal to a drag on a cig, unless they made that worse too. The counter is there not to prove who got the new high score but to help you monitor yourself. If you enjoy your flavor that much you need to reduce your nic content. I smoke too much with this e-cig. That's just me. I went down to 8mg. My guts thank me!!!
I'm sure my post will be taken down because I did something wrong I'm sure. Remember you have a big battery that can last all day, you have a TANK of liquid that can last just as long. You are inhaling sugar and nicotine. Be mindful of both. All because it is good doesn't mean that it can't be abused. I feel I have a rightful voice because I came in on the first generation of e-cigs and came back on the 3rd generation. Just stating the differences I see. 200 puffs equal a pack. What's your number?
