I've been having analog cravings real bad. Been around a lot of smokers lately. I feel hottie it seems so easy to light it and forget it. I miss some times watching the cherry.

I hit a really bad patch about week 4 and week 5. vaping to nausea point and still craving the rollies. Then the vape gear lets you down and nothing seems to work right or taste any good.

Then I got the Vivi Novas working right, figured out a DIY juice that didn't taste like the tobacco flavour ....e that I had been using, and took a great deal of satisfaction from sticking it to Big Tobacco and the Tax Man.

The other thing that helped was that I smelt some second hand tobacco smoke and it was just awful. Can't believe I did that and there was no way I was going to go back to tobacco after all the hard work.

Stay strong, you can do this because it does pass.

How come the Vamo has so many fans and the ZMax doesn't?

Price and availability is my guess. For the price of what Smoktech orginally wanted you would be better off with a Provari blem. Sigelei was priced lower but you had to look for them. I have both the VAMO and Sig Zmax. I actually prefer Zmax for its size and weight though. Zmax also has the one button menu which I think boggles some newer vapors minds. The price has come down recently, at least on the Sig version and they are becoming more well known.

Just over 90 days. It was all pink cloud this dove tails in the hardest month for me. Pre clean time may 10 to June 10 is rough.

I've actually heard there is a 3 month "after anologues" period that can be rough. I hope it doesn't last too long for you. The danger periods as I saw it explained are:

1) After 3 days no smoking (didn't happen at all for me, and not for many other people judging by a lot of comments on these forums)

2) After 3 weeks no smoking (definitely happened to me, almost to the day. Hell for 4 or 5 days then tapered off. I vaped a lot more)

3) After 3 months no smoking (me not there yet, me not going to count)


I don't know if it would help to increase the nicotine concentration for a few days until it passes?

Q: How do you know a Michigan "troll" when you meet one?
A: You ask them "Where are you from?" and they point at their hand.

P.S.
Troll = someone that lives "under the bridge" (in Michigan Lower Peninsula)...there's a bridge to the U.P....the upper peninsula...top mitten).

As a former Michigander, oh yeah!!

I have blue aquarium foam, but I am a squirrel.

Squirrel in an aquarium?

So now you're half ocelot/half squirrel...identity crisis:ohmy:?!

In an aquarium no less!! :D

Keeerash!

ECF is having a bad hump day!

Happens when new things are introduced in the computer world. You think all the bugs are worked out and then it goes live and then..... Boom. System fail.

Can the batteries be side by side and still stacked? When I think of "stacked," I meant end to end. I wasn't thinking about how they are wired - if that makes sense.

Good question. I get your drift I think stacked as on top of each other. I think these would be if I'm not making jargon up parallel.

You're not making stuff up - parallel/serial. I didn't think of them being stacked on top of each other because they are round. The top one would roll off.

Sorry to confuse you ocelot. Oh I had a stacked round battery mod. They did not roll because of tension. I thought it was a bomb and I quit vaping for like 8 months. Well not the only reason. Other reasons were I could not find juice I liked and to much stress. This time I was lucky I found kangers and great though limited juice. Oh juice erks me to no end.

It's stacked I assume. Like Ferrel & The Oscelot said....it's either series (stacked) or parallel. Or it's disconnected. Could be parallel for super-high amps...but probably serial for high voltage...then regulated. It's the same electrical configuration as stacked, but connected by wires so the batteries are side-by-side.

Good morning.

No battery is ever "safe". Including the one in your car that you never think about. So...how do I answer that?

You should read through the safety guidelines from ECF. I use stacked battery box mods. I use protected batteries and it also has over-current protection with the regulator. The box mod (at least mine) is safer than the metal tube IMO....because if the batteries vent they just push the top off the box mod... kinda depends on the latch. Mine would just "slide off"...not possible to build up any pressure.

Of course, the "metal tube" comment means "depends on the vents" too. Make sure your PV is vented well even if the batteries swell.

Good morning and happy hump day to all :D.

Speaking of humps

Darn I was going to post a link to "My Humps" But the language is restrictive, then again I think the mods may just consider this thread a lost cause. :D

Also to all those theorizing about the Vamo to ZMax thing it's quite simple. ZMax sounds like something you doctor gives you when you have a cold. Vamo is just more fun to say. Nothing to do with buttons, stacks or price. Just say it VAMO! Much more fun.

Let's all have a great Hump Day.

:facepalm: I give up :blink: I've been reading for over an hour & there's just no way to EVER catch up with you guys.

It takes great power and years of missed therapy to keep up with us teacup doggie. ;)

Seriously though even we have trouble chasing the thread sometimes lol. I just keep at it till I'm caught up and do my best to make things worse when I get there :D. You are not alone.

IMHO, I'll take a 5 amp mod with most of the same features that's still reliable over a weaker mod for nearly double the price. And even as an experienced vaper, 1 button systems aggravate me. But that doesnt stop me from wanting to own a Zmax too, because it is a cool piece. But if i had to pick just one, the Vamo just seems to make more sense.

Well, good morning peeps, and happy hump to you, Pancake!! :D Hump day is my favorite! Let our favorite gutter brain day begin!

OoooOH! That Vamo! What's not to love about an APV that walks around with a smile on it's face like he got some last night :D *ba dum .....*

Nice song selection btw, I think I'll go find it on youtube :D
