Got screwdriver and now weirded out

[Jayisbored]

Being a former 2 pack a day smoker I vape 24 all day long and never feel like its to much or to little..I think some of it is just the motion of doing it, i guess like an OCD thing. I can say i've accepted my addiction now because i dont wake up every morning saying these thing are killing me, i have to stop...just continue to smoke anyways..its taken that burden of failing to quit away. I dont care if i'm vaping out of a paper towel roll with an atomizer on it as long as i dont go back to analogs

I like this stuff because it got me to stop smoking which I must dearly love. Been smoking for 45 yrs and never even wanted to quit but also know that if I don't quit smoking this body will not function properly. What a horrible way to go starving for air or whatever. I think we panic a little and start buying a lot of stuff so we have back up after back up, at least I did. Own three dura's ,one janty dura c,two dse 901, two of the newer 510,one mini pipe and about six of the 402. I thought about the SD but then I thought need to slow down here I have only been vaping since feb 10th. I feel like I own part of the craft store with all the stuff that has accumalated, just organizing it is a project. You know what though I don't give a s**t because I stopped smoking analogs. I keep coming back here at the forum and reading everything, kind of use it as a support system for keeping off the analogs. Since starting I have been using 36mg fluid and just bought some more except at the 24mg. I plan on slowly reducing every month or so until I can call it somewhat recreational. I am happy the kids are happy and I'm sure the suppliers are happy. So things are looking up!

hmm reducing the nic level every month ..... interesting .. trouble is after a whole month on the 36 mg i bought a 24 mg ..... and it wasnt good enough i had two spaz attacks ... being grumpy as hell for about 20 mins till i got my 36mg out ....i hate being dependant on it but i fear i will never be able to get off the 36 ... it makes me dizzy and all warm and glowy

Try to smoke like an uppergraduate scholar!

Sit in a study with leatherbound books and a fire in the fireplace smoking a black lady pipe. Very calmly, drinking scotch, puffing away, reading a book or thinking about philosophy.

I just fixed you!

I've found that I since I do vape a LOT more than I smoked, I was getting way more nicotine... so I've begun making my own 0 nic liquids and will alternate them with my usual blends. Sometimes I'll vape the 0 nic stuff two or three times before using one that contains nicotine.

It's working for me.

I'm doing a lot of no nic juice. I don't want to increase my level of nicotine tolerance. I'm trying to consciously consume nicotine. The rest of the time it is no nic juice and I don't miss the nicotine a bit. I didn't have this option with analogs.

I did buy a pack of analogs today though. I'm not sure why, but they still taste good to me. I did only smoke two all day though.

I love being able to vape in the house without feeling guilty about stinking up the place.

My husband used the screwdriver at work untill his boss called him into his office and told him that there were reports of him smoking crack at the job site lol.Even though he explained what it was,he still will not use the sd at work.he is smoking the bada-bing now!

I've been thinking about what to tell the police officer when he sees my kit with labeled bottles of juice, syringe, tweezers, needles.

I haven't vaped at work, I go out to my car for my fix.

Hey all, First let me share
HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS WHOLE THING,THE FORUM, THE JUICE, THE TOYS, THE KINSHIP AMONGST US

As a 3 pk a day ex smoker, for 6 months I am so proud of me to get that part of my life behind me, Besides I was one of the unlucky guys that has COPD from cigarettes, Oh well !! S--t happens

All in all, I am more junked out on the process, the toys and all that surrounds our ecig world.. There is not a day, correction an hour, that does not go by, that I am not entrenched in my stuff
Looking at all I have accumalated, waiting for my new purchase to arrive, either mail or UPS. Reviewing the posts, to make sure, a new item has not come out, since I checked 8 minutes earlier.

Oh no, someone introduced a new topic, I DON'T OWN THAT, !!!

OMG. . . you are ME. I was a three pack a day smoker. I gloat at those loser smokers now and I think, Hah! You are smoking and spending money on cigarettes while, in fact, I am spending on e cigs.

This is my equipment: 901, 801, KB, Minifogger, 4081, lady pipe, Screwdriver and I just bought evos today (not here yet). And, I'm waiting for someone here to carry the titan.

Every time i look at the modders' forum I want to pm them and ask "how much?" (nope; haven't done that).

(stuff that came today: SD from Trog and my three new usb passthroughs for 901, 801, and 4081 from vaporguys (great sellers!) and my APC (is that the brand?) power pack. Worked GREAT!)

BTW, I went out with some people tonight who hadn't seen my e-cigs before. Everyone just loved them, but they all don't smoke, so they won't be buying any.

I know-- I feel like Sherlock Holmes with my ladypipe.

But, my computer is too far away from my fireplace.

Finally,
I have met me, as a beautiful woman, so hello
I received today, my 801 paasthru, 3 901 attys, juice from Truevapor, and stuff from Juicey something? Ruyan Jazz Free cigs ( they suck) waiting on my VK from Smilin and two new 510's
besides, my SD, 901, 801, 103, 84, minipipe (2), Pilot, (2) ruyan ecigar, disposable ecigar, Kennsington mobile, just bought today a 4 port usb, connector so I can USB passthru w/ 4 different units and, do I need to go on.
WILL YOU MARRY ME??? Just think of all the toys we can have together.

Yes Kendra . we are ONE!!
Lets PM and see what else we can think of,
This is my new life, not smokin, not druggin, Just Vaping
OH OH OH , I forgot, besides all the new stuff I bought to house all my toys and juices, so cool,

your new BFF

I really think part of the reason that these things help some of us quit is that it gives us something else to be addicted to. New gadgets to buy! Something new to fidget with!
I can't really see this ever being cheaper then actually smoking because there's too much fun stuff out there to get. More juice! More flavors!
Been a week, and I'm just glad some of the stuff I've ordered is coming in from overseas, or a pre-order, because sooner or later my wife is going to lose her patience with this.

 

[Skullbone]

Just wait until someone comes out with the gas mask version of the e cig and that way we can vape while we are sleeping .... LOL!

A cop pulled me over 2 days ago while I was vaping my 901, apparently he thought it was some sort of pot smoking pipe! After I showed him how it worked, he wanted to know where to get one!!

I think the SD looks like some kind of crack pipe and probably would draw alot of attention in public. Anyone use one regularly in public??

I am still waiting for my WATERPROOF SD, SO I CAN VAPE IN THE SHOWER,
I have the vape in my sleep, down, just dont sleep, although I have found one of my cigs in the sheets as I fall asleep w/ it in my hands
When I do get up, during the night, to. (you know) I make sure I have a loaded cig by my bedside, so I'm good. God forbid, I go for a few minutes without. Thats just insane, the thought of going without, that is

 

[Klausse]

According to the banner I won't post, I will not be breaking even for another 200 days! I rolled my own smokes for the last 8 years. Tub O' Bugler, box O' tubes and my trusty "tobacco injector" cheap and less chemicals added. Before that, 1-3 packs since 1986(ish).

The E-Cig thing has energized the whole addict mentality for me as well...if I really wanna sit and think about it.

A Buddy bought me the SE 4081 a few months back. Said he didn't want me breathing out of can later on. Then I grabbed the Minifogger, the 401, the 306a and my pen-style (just cleared from customs, be here by lunchtime!) I got my wife on the e-cig-toy-train so I don't catch much flak. She does open all my packages now though...

I collected Zippo's and cases in my youth but this is getting a little nuts.

Glad I'm an addict and can justify it all.
In my (rationalizing) defense I've had maybe 5 smokes since starting and couldn't finish the last 2.

You are wonderful! I forgot to mention I have a Janty Jazz, too! I also have the Janty menthol. And, I don't like them either.

I am waiting for the huge order from CentralTrade, too . . . I have a bulk liquid order (I think it equals about 40 ounces, 40 801 atomizers and 40 901 atomizers and I don't remember how many batteries. A lot. We need to start a "what did you get in the mail today thread?" And, before I ordered from there, I ordered liquid from ruyandirect that I'm still waiting for.

As I'm writing this, I am thinking that if there were a national emergency or national disaster or anything like that, I don't have a stash of bottled water or canned food or anything like that--

but I'll be able to vape!

You have got to be kidding about the waterproof SD....
As far as the loaded cigs, I do also, and I make sure I have multiple one loaded with a few different flavors JUST IN CASE.

I saw a device on this forum I think that looked like a small plastic box with a "straw" that folded out from the side, I think it was made in UK and is sold there I can't find it now...Mega battery life/strength and very low profile

You are hard core! I did order 3 bottles of 36 mg nic juice to cut. It should last me for quite a while.

I just have 2 401's now and a 901 and spare atomizers on order. I am thinking about ordering a 801 with accessories.

We need to start a "what did you get in the mail today thread?" Good idea!

Anywyas, i'm really enjoying it and I'm just venting here a bit. If I don't like it I know I can quit. . . I'm just kind of weirded out by my nicotine addiction which I accepted easily until this very moment.

Cigarette marketing has been to date extremely successful. They've managed to sell a drug-delivery device without the public knowing that that's exactly what it is.

What you're noticing is just this fact. With the PV, you realize consciously that all you're doing is dosing yourself with nicotine. With a cigarette, the marketing departments of the tobacco corps had convinced you (and everyone else) that it would be a social ice-breaker; make you cool; etc etc.

Personally though, I use nicotine like I use caffeine. I know it's a drug, and both make me happier (especially in the morning..). Nicotine is a remarkable stimulant.

If you dislike the social stigma of being a "drug user," then you can quit. But frankly I think most people don't know what drug use or abuse really is, only what they've been told through advertising. A coworker of mine is on 80mg Oxycodone daily, and she .....es at me about my nicotine intake. She's removing her pain (and also feeding her addiction) and I'm removing the stress from my job (and also feeding my own addiction). What's the difference, and why should I care?

But I've never been one to worry about what "people think", and if I can legally "feel better" and have a more enjoyable life experience (especially if there are no negative effects), why shouldn't I? If I can get little pick-me-ups that make me happy, why not?

Your post in general is spot-on with how I feel about it, but this is very specifically my own philosophy too. It doesn't matter what others think -- it's your life.

Ironically I showed it off at work today and everyone was very pleased that I'd found a way to get off analogs. I suspect that is because I work for a small tech company though (surrounded by generally open-minded engineers).
