Hi all,

I smoked cigs from 60's to 80's. Switched to pipes until a couple of years ago and learned not to inhale. I use the nicotine gum, but still grab a bag of Backwoods Honey berry cigars when the urge to smoke hits. I'm puzzled by that urge as the gum is enough to satisfy the nic addiction. Maybe it's just enjoyment of smoke flavor and now I'm hoping for vapor. My friend Reddog1 taught me a little about vaping so I'm trying it out. I took advantage of a closeout deal advertised on here by Goode juice. I got a Green Life starter kit with two units and chargers. It's basically the Hello 16 with the cone attys and whopping 1300mah batteries. It came with seven tank fillable non-piercing tank cartridges. They hold a good amount of fluid. Looks like the way they work is drawing on the cartridge causes low pressure in the atty and fluid drops out of the wadding in the cartridge end into the atty. The cartridges won't keep up with repeated draws, but drawing on the cart without power will bring down some drops and vapor volume comes back up. I think the cartridges can be improved by experimenting with the wadding, juice thickness and a little surgery on the air passages to remove flash. These units can produce enough vapor to satisfy a pipe/cigar smoker.

Thanks much for this forum and all your posts. I've learned alot in a day.
Happy vaping!

Welcome to ECF,
Lots of support and encouragment can be found here for those looking for it. Any "urge" that I used to have was from not vaping enough. I started out at 36mg of nicotine and as long as I vaped enough, I never had any urge. After 40+ years of smoking, this has got to be the easiest method I have ever undertaken, and I had pretty much tried them all,
Best of luck. :thumb:

Welcome pipecleaner. I am new as well. I smoked a pipe for quite awhile as well. It was funny. The last time I quit smoking cigarette (before this time) I was doing pretty good and my wife said, "Hey honey, why don't you try smoking your pipe again? I just love the smell of pipe tobacco." I said, "Sure, why not...that would be great!" Less than a week later, I was right back to smoking cigarettes! DARN IT JIM!!! LOL Now, with my eGo, I can get all kinds of pipe flavored tobaccos and everything else.

My wife used to LOVE to smoke the DiJarem Black Clove Cigaretter (at ten freakin dollars a pack). She was SO UPSET when Obama banned the import of all flavored cigarettes. She hoarded her last few until she finally ran out. Talk about DEPRESSED! Now...with her e-Cig, she get the DJ Black Clove and is ABSOLUTELY in LOVE AGAIN!!!
Cheers!

Yeah gn, I still remember my switch from cigs to the pipe. I was pretty disappointed that pipe tobacco didn't taste like it smelled. I smoked the pipe like a cigarette at first so burned up my mouth up. Learning to not inhale didn't take long. lol After many years I learned how to keep the burn down and just sip for flavor and produce a "cookie" of vapor that sat on the tongue. I got scared of tobacco after a friend got mC and had a portion of his face removed. I switched to nic gum and have put the pipe down for two years now. I've done some backsliding from time to time and started picking up some Backwoods Honey Berry cigars. I'd binge for a few days on those and then put those back down. Still tobac. Vaping seems to be the answer. The flavor is the flavor you use without all those tars and other evils. I've found that if I start my burn a little before my draw I get a glob of vapor thick enough to sit on the tongue and produce that flavor "cookie." I'm using a 50/50 juice blend now. I thing I'll try straight VG.

Thanks for your concern hb. I bought the high nic because it wasn't my plan to learn to inhale again. I just tried it to see if the nic was there and got a head rush. I'm back in pipe smoking mode now.
