Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[kittypie]

February 23rd!!! And no I can't believe it. We have tried so many times before....wellbutrin, patches, gum, chantix....The e-cig certainly worked for us. I hear all the "still smoking" "still addicted to nicotine" stuff...I'm fine with that. nicotine was never my concern...all the smoke, chemicals & health effects were my concern. I know (documented) my blood pressure dropped like a rock, I can breath again, no more morning smokers cough, no more out of breath with activity etc. I smoked for nearly 36 years & was up to a pack & a half a day.

i am beyond thrilled!

Totally thrilled for you, to finally be free of the stinkies!

I ended up buying my mom an entire set up and a ton of VV samplers last spring. She gave it all back to me, never even touched the stuff. My mom, age 74, told me "I don't want to put anything else in my lungs!" and continues to smoke. Not only does she continue to smoke but she wears the patch along with smoking telling herself she is quitting. Sigh. I tried every stupid carto on the market to find something easy for her, including the Ego C. Too many products cracked, leaked, were too hard to fill, had to tinker to work properly, or had hardly any flavor.
Even though I am not fond of filler, in all my trials and errors and burning things up I personally have settled on:
Ego 1100 mah Twist with Cisco 2.0 attys. Use at home all the time. I like the flavor and got past the learning curve of using an atty.
Ego 650 mah with Boge 2.0 carto, and shorty drip tip for skiing and kayaking. Short, easy ... and if I lose it in a snow drift or a lake not too expensive.
Ego 1100 mah Twist with single coil 1.7 SmokeTech Resurrector for long car rides. Holds more juice than the Boge and easy to top off in a dark car.
Ego 1100 mah Twist with Vivi Nova. Easy to fill, easy to clean. Top heavy and too easy for me to accidentally untwist the bottom and spill juice all over so use the Resurrector on long car rides.

Just in case you were curious....

That's the Sunshyne VV vapemail Happy Dance!!

Thx VV team, I know things must be really hectic with the move! Congratulations on the expansion and relocation... I can't wait to see the pics of your new digs!

I'm excited to let my juices start Blooming and getting to that perfect flavor even though I plan to dig in today!

Btw... anyone have suggestions on how to cut a stronger juice to make it tolerable for someone who has really gone down in nicotine milligram levels? I have some perfectly Bloomed flavors that give me a headache now that I dropped nicotine strength but I really want to be able to vape them! Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

I'm trying to mix them with other flavors but I can't mix with some of the flavors I have. A few drops here.. few there.. but some are still calling my name because they're perfect now.

I think the only way it could be done without diluting or changing the flavor, would be to order some of the same with 0 nic, and mixing.

 

[kittypie]

I agree with Woodsman. I know you hate to mix fresh in with your nicely bloomed liquids, but maybe add just enough to cut it down to a no headache level, and it would definitely be better than diluting it with flavorless. Or, you could just stock up on Tylenol.

 

[RedHen]

I wonder if you cut the with PG if it would make any flavor difference at all.

 

[kittypie]

What mg are the perfect ones, and what mg are you down to now (which is great, btw!)?

 

[jj2]

Well I think that I have reached the point of brain dead so good night all.

 

[SunshyneGurl]

Thx Woodsman... that's a really good idea!

Kitty... they are 12mg and I'm now using the x-low 5mg or 3mg? I should have stock in Tylenol! Go figure.. I got a bunch of new sample sizes in the Xmas stocking stuffer packs that I ordered too! It's amazing how easy it was to drop down in strength over a period of a month/month 1/2 or so. The flavors are all exactly the same (maybe a little more) which is awesome because I read some posts where people said it was less with each drop in nic strength... they couldn't be more wrong! I was so happy that the flavor didn't change at all! Would the flavor be the same with zero nic?

RedHen... I'm one of the few allergic to PG which is how I thankfully found VV in the first place and won't ever look back!

Thx for the suggestions! I really don't want to dilute with anything that will cut down on my perfect flavors. I guess I'll keep adding a few drops here and there too which is much easier to do in the VN tanks. I have a good one right now with some Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Granita, Pillow Dreams and a little Bella Amaretto and it's such a tasty, refreshing mixture. It's gonna be a great summer combination! I'm thinking one of the chocolates will be good mixed in with it too... yum.

If anyone has other ideas... please share cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one to lower nic strength who has some perfectly Bloomed higher strength juices!

Good morning?

kitty jr woke me up at 4:00, licking my face, so here I am! Oh well, gives me plenty of time to get ready for my weekly pancake breakfast with my neighbor.
