Hello from Kalamazoo!

[hypercoffeedude]

Hey everyone! Just here to say hello, and get my initial posts out of the way! I have been vaping for 2 months now, and it's great! I feel better, taste things better, smell better, and above all else it is a healthy alternative all around.

Of course at this point, I would consider analogs the "alternative". I have a 4 month old daughter, and this is by far much healthier for her to be in anyway exposed to, in place of cigarettes. My wife still smokes Camel Menthols, but it's hard getting her to switch. She coughs everytime she tries my PV.


Current Supplies Stash
----------------------------------
2x - Joye 510 Manual Battery
1 SR & 1 LR Joye Atty (LR Died to someone sat on the button for ~15 sec)
2 SR Attys (iVape) (Works best on the USB Passthrough)
USB Passthrough (iVape)
Dead EGO T Manual Battery (Heats up when charging )
Random assortment of other donated batteries and junk

I Started with the Smokebot 2.0 w/ Cartomizers. Gave it away.

It sucked and I will never go back to carts again.

So how is everyone else doing today?

Welcome, congrats (on vaping and your daughter). You'll be vaping all night long while she stays up.

Have you tried any other juices (pg/vg combos) to help your wife get over the coughing? (Unless of course she has no interest in quitting).

 

[hypercoffeedude]

Yeah I have, but I found you have to inhale a certain way to prevent coughing. I think she hasn't figured that out yet. She is interested in quitting, but she's not too comfortable using ecigs. She'll take a hit, cough and throw it at me. And yes, I have already become a vapehead. Esp at night!

All my liquids are from iVape, except 2 from Puresmoker.

LOL.

Can't be fun with a 4 month old as well. I remember those days. *Unsolicited baby advice: Set up a routine as soon as possible. It makes life just that much easier with the baby*

Does your ego battery just not work? Getting warm while charging isn't that out of the ordinary is it? (I thought most if not all batteries warm up when being charged). Perhaps it's the TH that gets her? Ah well, you know what your doing. I'll stop there.

 

[hypercoffeedude]

I am open to all advice and anything people say. Lithium batteries are never supposed to get very warm. Only Nicad/NiMH and other tech batteries may do that. Li-ion has chips to prevent heat, as they could explode if they overheat. I swear that I could've cooked an egg on my Ego with how hot it got! NOT GOOD!!!! And yeah, if I listen and pay close attention to children, I realize that all that advice is crap, and I already know what she wants or needs.

Hypercoffee, hi and welcome to ECF! Its a good idea to get rid of the analogs for your daughter, I gave them up for my 3 and 5 year old boys. I don't need them to see their father and grow up curious like I did with my dad.

 

[hypercoffeedude]

Funny thing happened with me and my dad. He smoked since he was 18, and I got him to quit at age 52, just by not letting up on him. I kept asking him to quit, and he finally did. He used patches, and every so often I remember some mornings where he woke up and said "whoops, got one on both arms again!, How'd that happen?" Lol. Then 2 years later I started smoking. You could imagine what people thought of me at that point. People kept telling me "You finally got your father to quit, and then you start!"

He is 57 now and still smoke-free! And for me, since I started vaping even my grandmother approves. She is extremely anti-smoking. NOBODY smokes in HER house! But when she realized there was no bad smell, and smelled of peaches. She quickly realized it was not the same, and is accepting it. I vape in her house and she doesn't mind at all.
