Hey there

[PeterJ]

Just signed up, Im 43 and from western Australia, been vaping about 65 days now after 30 years of smoking, haven't had a cig since stopping and thankful for that. Running a sigelei 20w vw regulated mod with a pair of krakens and a pair of rsst atomizers, I have a sigelei 50w box mod on its way but it's taking a long time to arrive. I've had 2 mephisto drippers and sold them because I didn't like the dripping thing and also have a v3tronics flip that I'll sell because I don't trust mech mods over regulated mods with my limited knowledge of battery care. I have only vaped Mt Baker Vapor liquids so far and I'm sticking with them because I like their product and service.

Hi to all and look forward to reading the forum.

to ecf PeterJ. So glad you are here and congrats to the over two months vaping. Isn't it wonderful? So glad you have found juice/vendor that you like but after you start reading some of the recommendations on here.........you might just have to change your mind and try new stuff. There are so many wonderful juice makers out there. To get some on sale, here is a thread that I use to look at before I started making my own. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/418767-deals-steals-217.html Continued success to you and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Always some wonderful people around here that want to help. I know. Can't tell you how much they have helped me. Good luck to you and happy vaping.

I'm very annoyed that the W.H.O, tobacco companies, pharmaceutical companies and governments are railroading the vaping scene!

This may be too broad a brush to use BUT I'm pretty sure most of us were smokers at some stage and now have quit that and vape as a healthier, more fun, alternative. To suggest even that vaping isn't a stop smoking aid (at the very least) is beyond uninformed. Regular smokers are already a minority group in the USA, Europe and Australia and the vaping scene is smaller again, so no wonder it has no pull and no government will listen! Vapers have no voice and unless the W.H.O, tobacco companies, pharmaceutical companies and governments are taken to task in a big way, the future of vaping is already set to fail.

I'm not sure the governments are the best people to start on, in converting thinking. I think the perception of vaping and its differentiation from smoking need to be promoted to the public, when the public understand the differences the voice of vapers will become much louder. Of the general population, who doesn't know of a loved one or family member they'd like to see stop smoking? I'd say there are a lot.

The W.H.O and the governments blurb their propaganda out to the public because they know the public are uninformed and given that they're uninformed, they'll latch onto the first thing they hear that even remotely sounds like it might be true.

End of rant, I posted here because I'm new on this forum and don't yet have enough posts to post in the right place.

Vaping needs, bumper stickers on cars by the hundreds of thousands, tshirts promoting vaping, everywhere, infomercials on vaping, commercials on television around the clock but mostly during prime time viewing, large billboards alongside freeways promoting vaping, radio spots talking about the benefits of vaping, a large number of celebrities that endorse vaping everywhere from sports to hollywood.

Who wouldn't like to see a TV commercial by Magic Johnson suggesting to smokers that they give vaping a try?
