I'm back and giving it another go!!

[goofygirl]

Hi everyone
well.....about 6+ months ago I messed up and started back on analogs .
since then I have given getting back to vaping a couple tries but, It just never stuck.
I am going to try again because I am back to 2+ packs....A DAY!!
so today I am pulling out all of my ecig stuff to see what I have left (my son took a bunch of it).
and do a check of what still works and whats still good. (really unsure of my juices )
and REALLY REALLY try to stick with it this time. I don't know why I ever went back to analogs
I had been smoke free for over 6 months!
I just really hope I can do it this time

Welcome back!! I hope you find something that will work for you this time!

 

[goofygirl]

Thanks Robino1

Welcome back! The important thing is not that you left, but that you came back.
I'm terrified of that happening to me, by the way.

Welcome back. Like was said earlier. It's easy to leave. It takes strength and will power to return. It's a tough fight, trust me I know. Just always remember when you need help and support, we're ALL here to help.

Been there done that as they say.
Whilst my signature states "It's all about the juice"
The fact is there's a balance you need to find. Everything must be just right for YOU.

The delivery system AND the Juice.

If you can think back what was it that you disliked or felt was missing from vaping?
Was it the e liquid?
Were you not able to find a good method for delivery? Like a carto or tank?

Let us know so we can offer up some suggestions and good luck this time around!

Congratulations on coming back!x

Welcome home!

Welcome back! Remember its not how many you smoke its how many you DONT! That being said, itmight be helpful to look back on what led to youre relapse and ask if theres anything you could do different to change that.

I went 6 months without an analog too and then jumped the gun and sold all my equipment without any backups.Wont be doing that again.

 

[goofygirl]

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!!
to all of you for the amazing words of support.
I knew my first step back onto the vaping train was to come back here!
you know, I think it was a mixture of A LOT of stress and that I needed a more powerful unit to vape from. I was using an eGo and I think it was starting to weaken on me a little. I think this time around as soon as I can afford it I am gonna buy something more powerful.
I really want to be back to where I was. I was starting to feel healthier and could do more. I have multiple sclerosis and I'm sure this 2+ pack a day habit isn't helping with that.
thanks again for the support.
And I would love some suggestions of equipment.

YAY! Welcome back.

At least once I day I think about a smoke... Been like that forever it seems. But I start to vape something with a little more nicotine in it and a little more kick to it (like a strong menthol) and think "AHHHH, this is the life."

I don't know if that feeling ever truly leaves though, but you have to work through it when it does happen. My alcoholic husband (who hasn't had alcohol in almost 13 years) still goes through that with drinking. He has the urge, then works through it. Or he'll vape on rum n coke for a minute or ten!

Addictions suck and are a lifelong battle, but everytime you don't smoke, you are winning!

I have a whole collection of stuff. I have a few egos... a few cigalikes and now a newly acquired bolt (thanks to a doorbuster prize at my vape shop). I love the bolt at home. Nice, strong vapor.

 

[goofygirl]

thanks PickyJuicer.
I was wondering about the bolt.
so much new stuff since I left.... It's a little overwhelming.
I still don't understand half of the ecig lingo.

 

[PickyJuicer]

The bolt is definitely something that has grown very near to my heart. I have a hot pink one, she's my "big girl". I just got it and got a nova tank with it that I've been keeping filled with a wonderful chocolate hazelnut. Really sweet and awesome with coffee! It's definitely my morning favorite.

The lingo will make sense after just a little bit. I'm still learning it but determined to master it! You'll get it, never fear!

I like my egos too... I have a 1100 mah (that's how long the battery will last I think... the higher the mah, the longer you get to vape) with an extra long cartomizer and an extra long drip tip. It's all in silver and just so darn pretty and LONG. When I first introduced a friend to ecigs, she was kind of holding it with two hands. I had to remind her it wasn't a flute. She took to it though because she loved those long, old fashioned cigarette tips!

Part of my ecig addiction though is how they look. Everything has to match! From battery color to drip tip to lanyard, it all must match! Now that's just sick, lol.

 

[Liquid9]

Welcome back. The biggest part with me was, still is finding a handful of juice I really enjoy. I have found a few, still searching. Don't get me wrong I have found a decent amount that I like, but not something that I LOVE!

 

[Iffy]

Hang in there!!!

 

[goofygirl]

can anyone tell me how long juice stays good? my juices are all pretty old....kinda scared to use them 8-o I still have a good amount of 555 and some house blend and banana split that I loved.
also does anyone know where I can get a good coffee with cream and sugar juice?

 

[Susaz]

I don't know how much power you need. Certainly to try out how much I suggest an eGo Twist. What's your habits? Do you need to refill on the go? Do you like a warmer, more humid vape?

I suggest two Twist 900 mAh (you dial how much you vape) and try Kanger T2 and T3. That way you'll decide the vape you want. And! last but not least, one of the two Twist could be a Kgo VV passthrough. They're great, you can vape plugged in.

 

[zapped]

I dunno what youre budget is but Id recommend a Provari as soon as you can get one. Regulated voltage was a game changer for me and it sounds like your old batteries were starting to splutter out on you a bit.Regulated voltage gives you the exact same hit right up until your battery dies on you and with a mod at least the replacement batteries are cheaper in the long run.

If a Provari isnt in your budget an Ego twist or spinner can give you similar results.A lot of people seem to like the ViVi Nova for its convenience and price as well. You can get two 1300 mah twist or spinner batteries for 40-50 bucks with the holiday sales and a Vivi Nova for 12.00

Hope that helps and good luck on quitting.We know you can do it.

 

[goofygirl]

Thanks for the suggestions guys seems one thing you both had in common was the spinner or twist. Susaz, what is Kanger T2 and
T3 ???

 

[jimmyh]

Welcome back, I also had a 2 pack a day habit and this is my third try quitting. I did go out and get a lavatube 2.0 vv and I think this time I will succeed. The last time I tried was 3 years ago.
