Good news! I was able to vape tonight without my lunch coming up to take a bow. Had to go with Ahlusion mocha as any of my regular vapes were too nutty (tiramisu), too heavy (smooth criminal, Just Criminal) too sweet (caramel apple) or just plain vomit inducing from the smell (whatever was in that Tsunami bottle they were passing off as juice).

Not back to 100% but a lot better than where i was. Oddly enough i have Tom Lazuka to thank for it. For those that don't know (which is most of you since i am fairly new here) i am a pretty big cigar guy. Tom Lazuka is the Co-owner of Asylum Cigars and a Detroit guy so he is about 60 miles south of me. Being a local guy and having great cigars i own a lot of his products. I had an overwhelming urge for a cigar that was made worse by the fact that I couldn't vape (hand to mouth smoking addiction) so i opened the humidor, looked over a few choices, gave them a sniff and picked out an Asylum 13 mini corona 4x44. It is a very small cigar. By the time i had smoked that cigar i had no more stomach cramps, no more nauseated stomach and my headache was subsiding. Of all the cures in the world i never would have thought a cigar would have cured my stomach flu symptoms. Maybe it didn't but it was a heck of a coincidence and either way it worked and i am vaping again.

I sent Tom a message, gave him a run down of what happened and told him that from now on that I will only refer to him as "The Doctor".

Crazy story, crazy few days but it ends happily with my Sigelei Zmax V5 topped off with a brand new nautilus and me vaping a juice i can tolerate so whatever, why ever and however it happened, i am happy with the results.
 
That sucks. Have you tried unflavored? This may be a perfect time to "discover" the wonderful world of unflavored eliquid. It can be a godsend for price and ease of vapeability. When I get "sick" of flavors, though not from flavors, which has been a helluva lot lately, unflavored never ceases to satisfy. Hell, even when I am diggin' flavors, unflavored still hits all the right notes (likely by avoiding them).

Get well soon.

I just saw where you live. PM incoming...

Hmmm. Though I love my flavor I think I might try unflavored

Big update! As i relax here in this hospital bed with IV's sticking out of everywhere and a perforated bowel i am thinking it may have been a bit more than the stomach flu. I did however find that I could vape Ahlusion Banana Cream Pie with no issues and is now my new fave. Hopefully out of the hospital next week.

Holy crap! I just celebrated my one-year-post-major-abdominal-surgery date on the 28th. Many wishes, from the bottom of my heart, for a speedy recovery. So glad they caught what was wrong in time and that you are relaxing...I had to hear for 8 months how I probably would get over whatever "it" was (intussusception).

I hope you're out and 100% soon!

No vaping in the hospital, i don't even have my mod with me. I have had 0 nic intake since wednesday so it looks like i kicked the nic habit the hard way. Never vaped 0% nic but going to give it a shot when i get out. Not sure about throat hit at 0% nic.

On the bright side i did convince a nurse to check out Ahlusion just down the road and pick up an MVP 2.0 to replace the cheap cigalike her husband is trying to use to quit.

On the downside this joyride is just beginning. Apparently i have been diagnosed with diverticulitis and one of the little pockets ruptured and got infected. The surgery today was to remove the infection. Next they go in and remove a 12cm section after thanksgiving.

Thank you, me too.

I should have clarified that i am not a person that asks for pity and that is not how this thread was intended. More of a venting with like minded folks who vape opposed to the "well then maybe you should just quit" responses that i get from my non vaping friends and family.
Well then maybe you should ju....

No, I can't do it.

Hope you feel better soon.
