I'm so proud of you, Shane! Way to go!!! :)

Halo juices are very cartomizer friendly, BTW.

Alcohol, eh? ;)

Well I'm only this far along because of the great help you and Vapoor (mostly, there have been others!) have given me :D

And yes, alcohol lol would be having some tweeds too but damn drug testing for my job. I admit it, I have a little trailer park boys in me heh heh ;)

And that's good to know about Halo, I am ordering another bottle of Longhorn and a bottle of RY4 (it was my favorite from SI, didn't realize it was a halo juice), and a few bottles of whatever tickles my fancy at the time of ordering lol.

It may sound weird, but one of the things I LOVE about vaping is blowing "O's". Call it strange, but it is one thing I loved about smoking, the playing with the smoke. I'm pretty damn good (if I do say so myself) at blowing a big O and a smaller o through that one. What I have noticed is a nice vape pull is much thicker like a good cigar and nice to play with, superior to cigs in every way :D

. . Had to catch myself and ask, "You wanna miracle or something? This much of a drop ain't miraculous enough for the first two weeks?" :)

I have to consciously choose to count the ones I did not smoke. Not the few I did. And considering I could often plow through a carton in a week (sometimes less), the "not smoked" number is in the hundreds now. Already.

I would never have believed anybody who told me this could happen. I would have laughed in their face. But, there it is...

I know what you mean - I was wishing they had a banner that just said how many cigs you avoided/$ you saved for us transitioning smokers. You will get there though - The last 5 days I think I have just had 1 and one day none - I figure I might manage to go without every couple of days eventually ... After that it would just be a matter of time.

You are right to keep focusing on how many you avoided - it's a real accomplishment!

You're this far because you've decided to quit smoking. All we can to is cheer you on and offer advice. You're doing the work!

I hear their coffee (cafe mocha?) and Belgian cocoa are good, if you like sweet vapes. I'm ordering two small samples from them, actually!

I was looking at the Mocha flavored one! I do like sweet sometimes, which is why I'm ordering the ry4 but can't pass that up at all :D

ANd yes I know I am the one who chose to quit, but damn Katya, I'd be cursing a blu without you guys and that is a huge thing. If I didn't get a product I was happy with and understand some fundamentals about it (there is so much info out there, and contradictory to itself as well), I wouldn't be where I am now. Smoke free and loving it! Almost anyways, I enjoy a little Cafe Creame cigar every couple days, still haven't bought a pack of number 7 though!!!!!!

From what I understand they do, Vapoor had commented on such a banner. Vapoor, you out there friend?

I love the thick vapour & blowing smoke rings too - that's something I'm starting to notice with a cigarette now - it's like "Hey, wheres the cloud?"!!
Nice, another O aficionado lol :) It doesn't compare at all, the only way I could get quality o's with a cig was by not inhaling. Vaping, it's going in and I have nice thick plumes to play with :D

Hi all. ABSOLUTELY MY FAVE THREAD thanks to the good people that post here. Y'all are truly "friends". I quit a few times but was always white knuckling.
How do you tell when your blank carto is going to go? I'm still on those Boge king size blanks and haven't toasted one yet.
Regular sized are 1 ml and XL maybe 1.8 ml. It;s been so long since I used a carto alone I really can't remember. I will say though that using Smok Tech 1.7 single coil XL (1.8 ml) cartos in a tank before tight draw began:
dark juices- 50- 60 ml
light juices- 80- 90 ml
What's really important is to keep the filler saturated. Wherever you're ordering your cartos from stay with them. There are some quality issues from Bog and Smok Tech- some vendors still have old stock/ poor performing cartos.

Well I'm only this far along because of the great help you and Vapoor (mostly, there have been others!) have given me
You have to accept the fact that much of your success is of your own doing. I've found people such as yourself that are open minded generally move forward MUCH quicker then those that aren't. Whether it's because of Katya, myself, yourself and the many others here I'm just very grateful this new life has come so easily for you...kinda know ya and I believe you deserve this break :thumbs:

And yes, alcohol lol would be having some tweeds too but damn drug testing for my job. I admit it, I have a little trailer park boys in me heh heh
You'd LOVE my Hippy days stories from the 60's and early 70's

... And congratulations Shane , it sounds like you are doing amazingly well!

Thanks Astounded :) I am and am loving it! So I see you're in BC, did you catch my earlier comment of a bottle of free juice? It is Tiki flavor from Halo, just not my favorite and probably won't get so much play from me (I love tobacco flavor, this one is just a little too fruity for me). If you want it it's yours, just pm your addy and I'll send it your way, you comment regularly so I'll even pay the postage ;)

Knowing your determination and intelligence, you'd have done well with Blu. A lot of people have quit with Blu; Blu is not a bad kit, just idiotically overpriced.

Trading samples is an honored tradition and a favorite pastime here on ECF. ;)

Just saying!

Thank you so much Vapoor :) You and Katya have been so good to me! I know it is of my own doing, but you two have been so good to me answering all my questions! A lot of folk would just post links to questions I have that are already answered (you guys do, for further info) but always give me your honest opinions as well. I have come to regard you and Katya as true friends which is very odd for me on the internet. This is the first forum I have registered for and not just read for info, and engaged in conversation with what I think to be remarkable people. The internet can be a horrible place of insults and people who take ignorance for granted.

This is my favorite place! Not only my favorite thread lol ;) I am very addicted, you Katya, Mike and Astounded are awesome peoples, I'll never leave now. Like I said before, I have been using my mind to it's limits with all the stuff I am going through and researching and you guys have made it that much easier on me, I did at least 20 hours of research before I came here and still had no idea where to go. I owe you big time, and will pay it forward for respect :D

Oh and I know those boys well lol Kids in the hall, red green, I'm just barely old enough to know and appreciate all Canadian comedy. Really miss John Candy, Uncle buck and the great outdoors are a couple of my favorite movies ever!!
