I'm giving up vaping again...

[Susaz]

Yes, I know. I shouldn't. But I'm a handicapped person living on a small rent, and the failure rating I've been having is totally unaceptable. I've spent almost a full month salary on vaping stuff that mostly doesn't work and if it does, it's erratical. Spares are expensive, and although I have the knowledge I don't have patience or skills to mod my own things. Knockoffs are plaging the only two "serious" e-cigs suppliers, so when you buy, even if you ask a ton of questions, what you get is not what you bought. The only thing I've left for vaping is 1 Kanger T2 (that maybe is because of what David Solomon said in his video "Let it dry, or otherwise it will leak") and 4 or 5 CE3 XL that were the only thing that worked consistently throughout the month. Due to foreign currency restrictions I can't import from China or the US, they won't sell you the currency to pay for your purchases abroad, and the customs fees are outrageous.

I woke up this morning and I lit up. The Kanger is still drying and the CE3 XL after a solid month of vaping are giving up on me. I tried everything (or at least I thought so), and it's not working. E-cigs are forbidden in most Mercosur countries (Uruguay, Chile, Brazil) so a short trip to get supplies is impossible.

The failure rate (that in the e-cig industry is unacceptably high) and my high dissatisfaction with vaping are making me give up. Smoking is much cheaper, far more. Fortunately I haven't crossed it out for good. If local vendors get better, or customs fees lower I might give it another shot, just like I did three years ago. I don't want to spend any more money here and now. It's simply not working. Thanks everyone for help and understanding, and until next time. Be sure we'll meet again.

Next time you try pass on all the fancy gear and just try a io6 306 atty from Inkenvape and drip tip on a mechanical mod. Simple, hits hard, great flavor and vapor, and fairly inexpensive.

Wait.......


c'mon, don't give up

I think there's alot of people here who don't want you to shorten your life.

I know it's tough,but I smoked for 32 years,didn't even want to quit and here I am.


It has only been a few days for me, but I am sure you can do it!

Maybe we all can jump in and help you!


Don't give up you can succeed

If you want to give up vaping, cool, but go back to cigs? For what? You know after you get back into the regular smoking routine, the cigs aren't going to do anything for you. You're just feeding the habbit. If there is any time for you to quit everything all together, I'd say the time is now. Just stop smoking, it sounds impossible but its not. Mind over matter. Don't put to much thought into it, just do it. Get cigs away from your reach & keep yourself busy with other things.. best of luck to you.

I concur, I have spent the past 34 years polluting my lungs, and spent half that trying to find a solution that works. I have now found it, and so have you, Susaz. Don't get sucked back into something that will ultimately shave a lot of years off your life. Tell us how we can help you. Do you need some 'backup' cartos? I can send you some. Heck, for $5, the same as a pack of cigs here in the states, will give you 5, and that will last you a while playing a backup role.

OPs problem lies in part to being in Argentina. I suggest hitting the location specific area...I hope there is a group near you. If people in Singapore can get product, you can! It can be a pain, but keep trying!!

 

[Gr8Scott]

bump.

C'mon y'all, lets share some motivation for her

 

[Winkos]

Let us know what you need. What type of battery do you have? I would send you some dual coil cartos if you want. They work with an Mega Ego battery.

 

[FleetFoxes]

Don't give up! Put as much effort into finding a good vape as you would getting money for your cigarettes and I believe you could succeed. It's really not worth your life just because you've had a bad experience so far. Keep trying!

 

[Cptfunpants]

Don't give up! If you give up the terrorists win!

 

[Iffy]

Hey, I'll chip in some devices! Let us know what you have and I'll try to find something compatible laying around.

Besides, I've never sent anything to Argentina!

An after thought... will you have to pay customs on 'gifts' sent to you?

 

[Mac]

Have you tried telling your story on the PIF forum? I bet they would help you out. Pay It Forward - PIF

 

[TBinAZ]

I'm kinda cool with sending something Argentina way myself also. I truly love the PIF. Done it a few times already.

[Kropotkin]

Yes! I could send tons of kr808 cartos - maybe somebody has an adapter, if it turns out you need one? - and some juice flavors.

Come to think of of it, I could toss in a Volt battery. Anybody else have stuff to go with that?

 

[tnt56]

Don't know what to say except that brought tears to my eyes. I can relate to some of the OP's problems but it just hurts to see someone give up.

 

[TBinAZ]

Susaz hasn't given up yet...

please don't. I am handicapped also. Some days I just dont' feel like doing anything. You got folks on here who care about you. I do.
I haven't been able to eat by mouth for over 5 years because of a serious injury. I have a tube in my chest that all my food, water and meds go in. But it gets better. It will pass. Try not to isolate yourself. Thanks to vaping I get to taste stuff.
Sorry for the run of bad luck. Hope you feel better. You are not alone.

 

[Kropotkin]

Susaz hasn't given up yet...

That's right. And if a few more chip in, we'll have a heap of stuff in no time.

Question is, how long does it take for a package to get to Argentina?

 

[jaardesign]

Hi, I have gone through so many products, but I've found the best setup, and its cheap. I wasted a ton on 'starter' packages. My buddies and I all have. But over the last year we have figured the best solution out. Its about $35 in hardware. Get a ego 650mah passthough battery or two. they are $20 but go on sale for $15 a lot. My batteries have lasted at least 4 months by now and operate like new. They use a mini usb cable to charge, you probably have plenty of them laying around, I did. Get the Mini Vivi Nova tank, its $10 and will last forever. It uses replaceable atomizer heads that are about $2.50 each. The one im using now has lasted 3 weeks so far. You can replace the actual wick and coil in them, I haven't found a source for wick and wire, but it would be dirt cheap. Like, 2 cents. This setup is cheap, never leaks, never floods, never gives dry hits. It's super easy to fill, or clean. Anyway, if your interested I can send you links to everything.

 

[Kenho21]

Let us know what you need! I have a ton of stuff laying around that I'm sure you could put to better use Susaz. Everybody here wants to help you out. Giving it another shot is not gonna hurt anything. With everything everybody is willing to donate to you I'm sure you could find your comfy vaping spot, once you do, you will never look back.
