I hate being an impulsive buyer

[laurieok]

i bought like crazy for about a month and a half...now i barely use anything i bought and am finding myself smoking analogs more and more often...HELP!

Find a liquid you really really like and up your nic a bit. When I did that, I didn't want analogs anymore!!

perhaps reminding yourself why you began vaping to begin with would help out.

Don't give it up! Just find ways to improve your experience and find whatever it is that you are missing...

Is it throat hit, the buzz? What is it about vaping that isn't satisfying you?

I fell into that trap back in July. Once the "shiney" had worn off and the honeymoon was over, I got tired of always having to futz with the damn things. Grabbing the wrong batteries, cartridges running out at the last minute, atomizers going wonky at the worst possible time, leaky bottles. I thought, "What's the use, why am I fighting so hard for something that's only going to be banned and taken away from me anyway?" I even managed to lose my freakin' charger. Oh, these analogs are so much more convenient, just fire and forget. Oh so nice and worry free. Then the hacking and coughing returned. Waking up unable to breathe, until the damn Stupid Sticks said I could. One day on a job site without a working elevator, I saw The Light. After climbing only 3 flights of stairs I was so winded I could barely stand. "How pathetic! Just 2 months prior, these very same stairs with a fully loaded toolbag were cake work, and now I feel like I'm going to die. My father died when I was 2 years old. Am I going to do that to my son? Am I going to not only allow it but perform the execution myself? Hell No! Not on my watch!" E-cig technology is the only thing I've ever tried that has ever worked to free me from Tobacco and the choking sputtering death that is certainly awaiting me if I continue to use it. Next time you start thinking that lugging around all the batteries, juices, atty's and accessories is inconvenient, imagine how much more trouble hauling around that oxygen tank everywhere you go is going to be. You owe it to those who love you, and those who count on you to find your solution. Love them enough to FIGHT for your life! Don't give up, don't let the .......s grind you down.
My solution was to find a device that suited my needs better. My magic bullet just happened to be an e-pipe, not for everybody, but for me it is Perfection. I'm still tinkering with it a bit, but it is a solid platform for me. That's what a lot of the stuff going on in the mod forums is about, Finding the Perfect Rig. Experiment, test, sample, do it all, just don't give up! You are not alone, we all have your back.

BenJammin, that's one of the best posts I've seen. Thx for sharing your wisdom.

 

[sherid]

I agree. That was a wonderful post.

We were in the same position as you...or I was, not my husband lol. He wanted one, but he has patients, I have none. So I went ahead and got the janty stick, at least its gotta b better than our 901's, And I have to say, besides some issues with the cart not not wanting to work, we are both in love with it. Makes the 901 look like a freakin toy! So if you cant wait, you should try one, hell they are alot cheaper too

AMEN! Yes the futzing (is that even a word?) may seem overwhelming but IT IS WORTH IT!

Once you find the right e-cig and juice(s), you'll never go back.
(I took ONE drag off an analog this morning just to see -AWEFULLLLL!!!!!)

Thanks all for your appreciation. I just hope my words will help Bewzer and anyone else who needs the encouragement.
I use the "Preview Post" button a lot and test read and re-write my stuff until I'm sure it says exactly what I mean it to say. That's why my posts are typically so long, especially if I'm passionate about the subject. There's more to this board than recipes, schematics, and reviews. It's the people. I really do view all of us here as Brothers and Sisters united in the same struggle.

As to "futz" being a word:
A word is a sound or collection of sounds that conveys meaning. If you understood what I meant, then it MUST be a word!

That was a great post Benjamin. I wish people who want to ban these would come on here and read some of the success stories. It's so nice to wake up in the morning not hacking up a lung. I can walk to my daughter's bus stop without getting out of breath. It's such a wonderful feeling to have finally beaten the smoking beast. And to do it comfortably, happily, and without turning into a homicidal maniac .
