I lost my cool..

[Blinky]

So I'm pulling a Golden Girls Line Picture It, I am two days with out smokes and I call Safecig cause I only have enough refills maybe 5 days and I want to place an order. I go through all the crap and order 8 boxes of refills figuring a month with a few spares. We get to the end of the order and she says oh, I'm so sorry but I can't place this order for you because you live in California? I said I don't understand, why not? She tells me Prop 65. They need a front and back of my license. Get this, Customer service will not be open until Tuesday. Then it takes 24 to 36 hours to process my license. I about lost it. I was like Mike Tyson with the whole ear thing! LOL. I was ...... off and trust me I can and was vocal! (Poor Woman). I broke down. Tears and all. Like an addict that had to have her fix. An hour earlier I had ripped the husband apart. With that said I was crashing.. Needless to say I had a smoke. I am not going to lie, It was better than sex on a Sunday. LOL. However I am back to vaping. I know I messed up but I just felt like I could not win. After many calls I have found a store down the road that sells e-cigs and refills so as a backup until Safecig feels that I can order my stupid refills I will go in that direction. God help me I'm so frustrated and feel so alone. Tonight this really stinks. LOL. Hope you guys are having a good night Oh and thanks for reading this. I really needed to vent Now where did I put my SafeCig? LOL LOL

You're going to have days like that. You're out of juice, your batteries are all dead, your last atomizer or carto died. Ya gotta have backups! Glad to hear that you found something local. Keep the faith and good luck to you.

 

[terrilg70]

Yes, you need back up for your back ups.....But, the key note here is that you are vaping agian.

Hi Blinky! We've all gone through the nic fit, withdraw, stress, etc. Just thought I'd mention that you can get some nic juice in a bottle and refill the cart. I know there are places in california, like tasty vapor that should have no problems shipping to you. Then you wouldn't have to go through all the stress of running out of refills! It's more cost effective to refill too.

That's really strange... I live in California and have had no such issues with ordering from blucigs online. I guess it's time to look up this prop.

I gave it a ton of thought and I am wondering if it's because SafeCig is based in Beverly Hills, CA. Maybe because they work in California they somehow have to conform to this rule. I better not get a tax form from the state at the end of this. Looking up blu cigs! LOL Maybe I need to find another vape... Thanks for info

Before you try blu check out vapeshot.com. They have 510 style like blu and a better PCC IMO.

I had this problem as well, when I first started looking for eCigs to order. As a matter of fact, I missed the bullet when I tried to order Blu. Ended up ordering from another vendor and got (imho) better PV.

One thing to have as a "back-up" Walgreens sells Blu disposables - both tobacco flavor and menthol. They are even better than the Blu Kit eCigs. $8.99 - pretty much like buying a pack of smokes, without the poison and tar, however.

Cheers!

Walmart here in Kentucky is now selling Mistic e-cigs!

 

[kabonk]

or maybe you could buy some e-juice from one of the many vendors and refill those cartos?

 

[Retriever]

You might want to try Smoklessimage. I don't think they have a problem shipping to Ca.

 

[martinc]

That wont happen to me...12 eGo type batts,1 Rev,2 GG stealth,enough DIY to make a liter of e-juice,ready-made e-juice stash is very healthy,attys in stock check spare chargers...check check check.

wOOt

Thanks for the support all I am still a bit fuzzy on how to use the juice. I need to go onto you tube and check it out. wanted all to know that i woke up this A.M. and was coughing. Yesterday Morning when I woke up I was Tobacco free I was NOT coughing. It gave me GREAT pause that one Tobacco cigg could bring that cough back. Feeling pretty stupid. I am buying a piece of property today and I know my mind gets a little slow off Tobacco so I'm a little stressed. But I figure best not to put to much thinking on the fact that this is a e-cig and just think of it as my-cig Tonight The (smoking) family is all going to the smoking casino for dinner. I'm going to hold my head up high and stroll in with my clean smelling e-cig in hand.

One analog cigarette for a stressful event isn't anything to worry about. And the coughing is just part of withdrawal. It takes the body a while to get over not having all that crap poured into the lungs. There will be good and bad days but it gets better the longer you can go without.

For many of us it took weeks before we were smoke free. During that time we also had 'problems' with our e-cigs in several different ways. It takes some time to work out all the bugs and get spares and extra juice.

Blinky,

Take a look through here. Maybe there is a brick and morter close to your location? It's a tough time for you right now. A lot of what you maybe be feeling is the transition from analogs to vaping. It can take a while and you'll have good and bad days. Just stick with it . . .

 

[Blinky]

Thanks You are right about it taking time. I think I think about it too much. If that makes any sense? Instead of appreciating the fact that I am holding what looks like a cigg, acts like a cigg, and tastes like a cigg, all I am focused on is it's not a cigg. For me it's a mind game. I need to chill out and just relax appreciate the fact that this is not a cold turkey thing. My grandmother died of full blown lung cancer (Both lungs completely full) at the age of 57. She died at home on her couch. Very sad. I am 41 and I want to sit in the rocker with my hubby and watch our boys have children of there own I'm worth it And so are they Sometimes I think sometimes we focus to much on what we don't have and not enough on what we do have. I'm going to stop putting pressure on myself and just do my personal best This forum really helps

 

[Blinky]

Question though. I do feel a little less than sharp when it comes to thinking. Normally I am very quick with numbers and right on the finances. But two days off I do feel slower in my head. Is that normal? Any idea how long that will last?

 

[Sweeney Todd]

From what I've heard (and experienced), flu-like symptoms and a little foggyheadedness happen to a lot of people. I personally felt like pure crap off and on for a couple of days, but it will pass. There's a couple thousand chemicals in cigarettes, and it takes time for the body and brain to adjust to not being exposed to them.

 

[stephpd]

Yep, it kinda normal to feel that way.
It takes a couple weeks to get all that stuff out of your system.

 

[Blinky]

Sweeney,

That makes sense! I always focus on the Nicotine, but you are right we are talking about the loss of thousands of unknown chemicals I am not inhaling. I have no flu like symptoms just extreme fogginess. Thanks again its good to know im not the only one
