And that's what it is, An adventure... I remember back to 1981... Staying up late in my room, trying to build something electronic... and smelling smoke, bad smoke... I ran down to wake my mom up, telling her I smelled smoke.. was like 2 am,
It was My uncle, Passed out in his bed, his cigarette burning the mattress... I saved his life, as well as my family's from
a house burning down... but still, had he lived to this day, I would have pushed him to try e-cigs...

Regulate them, yes... a nicotine delivery system, that's safer than cigs, Health canada will allow patches, inhalers, gum.. ect... that allows nic, so why not get to the heart of it all, its the experience, they got me on the experience, now allow me a safer way to deal with it...

Health Canada??? Take Off eh?

They're just throwing their weight around, trying to play nanny to the rest of us. A nanny that smokes, drinks and curses around the kids and tells them not to do likewise, but a nanny just the same. And while it's a pain in the arsenal having to worry about getting around the customs BS, I really don't give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys what they tell me I can't do. I'll vape 'til the old guard is dead and gone and they can pry my PV from my cold, dead hands, and the moment they try and sieze any shipment due me they'll have a fight on their hands. We may be slower to get our dander up, but I think ultimately we're going to get our way. I know what E-cigs have done for me and my health, and if "Health" Canada doesn't, screw 'em with a lamp post.

Fortunately I haven't had to deal with the bureaucracy/hypocrisy yet. US vendors have been awesome to a soul, the few I've dealt with.

Congrats on the 5 posts! Now you can go exploring. It is fun here, just keep in mind you can't start new topics once you hit 50 posts, 'cos then you're not considered a "newbie" no matter how new you still feel. Heck, when I got a light reprimand for starting a topic here after my 50 I was kind of afraid to branch out. It still felt intimidating with all I still had to learn. But I did eventually and I'm glad I did.

Rayban,
Hang in there my friend! 20 some odd year smoker here. Gave it up six months ago and no desire to go back. I lucked out and got in to the vaping game with a 808d with cartomizers. Easy enough, not too messy to refill and decent batt life in a "cigarette size" package. Just got a few in the mail to share with friends and family. Good luck on your journey!

awe.. take off...

but yeah... It's a strange feeling.. providing canada post has their stuff together now after the strike... Im guessing 4 days, work days... I'm hoping to get my tank on thursday next week... It's a wierd feeling, like christmas is coming, and im 4 years old again...

bought a pack of players standard silver today, and a pouch of players 50%, plus some tubes... but hopefully late next week, I'll never buy another tobacco product again... at least, that's my want in life now...

what a crying shame... how smoking does, or what it did and continues to do to me... It makes me feel so low and ....ing weak... scuse my language...
 
I work as a shipper/receiver in a metal recycling facility, or in more urban terms, a scrap yard... we had an old native dude named Steve, and when i started like 25 years ago, he told me a funny quote.. Our boss was a money grubbing jerk, like all scap yard bosses are.. Were not allowed to smoke on the property due to lead poisoning issues... and he said one day to me "Mitch... as bad as Jack is, I worked for a boss in Calgary... He told me I don't care if you smoke, but they better be tailor mades, cause you don't have time to roll..."

kind of reminds me of Tom Connors songs... =)

The dill pickle flavor I got from vapor god tastes like dill pickle. Why the hell I ordered dill pickle flavor is still a mystery :)

I hope you weren't planning on using that atty/carto for any other flavour. That's going to be one flavour that'll stick in your atty forever. :)

Oddly enough I'm kind of tempted to try it now. I don't think it's something I could vape all day -- probably not even more than a few puffs at a time, but it would be an interesting palate cleanser.

    I dunno either. The PMs show up in a new browser window. Maybe your 'puter was blocking window popups? Anyway, if you click on the "private messages" menu bar option, you might still be able to view it.

    Hello fellow Winnipegger!

    I am a new vaper too, same 0 nic story, but I started with an ego-t which is working perfectly and I love! So far I`m managing the drop from a pack a day to no nicotine at all reasonably well, but it is hard. If I had known about sources for nic juice I would have gone that way, but since I went through all the early quit agony, I figure it might as well pay off.

    I hope you enjoy the ego-t. Only tip I have is push the tank in HARD - if any of the round part shows, it`s not hard enough. Also, leave a space of a fourth or a fifth of the tank empty.

    There is a Winnipeggers group I just found too - I`m hoping to meet up soon ;)

    Trust me on this one: Do not get bacon. It is not bacon. It isn't even in the same area code as bacon. It wouldn't know bacon if it oinked.

    Dayum, Mindfield! Every time you "go off" on bacon-flavored juice just cracks me the hell up! I look over and see the dog in your avatar and imagine it talking and saying above sentence and it just KILLS me!!! He just LOOKS like he should KNOW good bacon when he tastes it! LMAO!!!

    *recovers somewhat* Oh, sorry, rayban! Welcome to ECF!!!

    Personal review of the Bauway Itank... Got some juices, mostly 24mg, a few at 18mg... and I cannot fathom how ppl can inhale that, I watch vids on utube, sucking huge vapes, with no coughing.. The bauway has huge vapes... all the juices I got were mostly 24mg, some 18mg... but even 18mg makes me hack...

    It's like trying to start smoking analogs all over... but I do understand, Im in the weening process.. luckilly for me, I work across from a dude who makes cleaning products, He buy's Glycerin by the drum... So he gave me a 10 ounce bottle of USP food grade glycerin, at 99.5% free of charge... so I could cut down the Pure PG juice I received...
