Intro

[CrazyCatz]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new vaper, (almost one month!) along with my husband, 24junkie. I've been lurking around the forums for a while and thought it was time to jump into the conversations. I had my doubts about moving from cigs to vaping. I smoked strong menthol cigs and worried I would not get the "hit" needed from vaping. I didn't smoke a lot, maybe 4-6 cigs per day but I could never just quit. My husband tried to quit but with my smoking, it was impossible for him. When we drove to Charlotte to pick up his vape kit, Mad Vapes gave me a starter kit to try. I haven't picked up a regular cig since! I've been vaping the menthol juice and it rocks!

I have asthma and for the first time in years I can breathe! I don't have to use my inhaler now and it feels great! I am so glad my husband and I made the switch to vaping!

Hey and welcome! Sounds great that it "helps" with your asthma, very happy for you! Im really looking forward to getting my kit as well, which has some menthol cartridges as well

Good job on switching to vaping!

Kind regards

Hi Midas!

I am currently using the 510 Ego Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer Kit with the menthol liquid. Mad Vapes gave me the 510 kit with the menthol cartridges. I really liked the size of the unit with this kit. Fits in your purse and the flavor of the cartridges isn't bad. I switched to the dual coil because of the flavor. I prefer the taste of the liquid over the cartridge taste.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and little bit from where to start.

Hi crazycatz and welcome. Well done on the smokefree month.

Gilljoy you just made a start with that first post. Welcome and good luck. Don't be shy. There are many many friendly, eager to help, people on here. Just ask.

Welcome to ECF! and congrats! Im on the same boat!

 

[Bluesman]

Welcome CrazyCatz! Ditto with my wife - her asthma has literally disappeared. Good luck to both of you in your quest to replace the cigarettes.

By the way, your cats are absolutely beautiful!!!

 

[CrazyCatz]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Bluesman would you like my cats? LOL! They are Savannah cats and total crackheads! The only way to describe them is they are dogs in cat suits, literally. Always wanting attention, following you around and getting into everything they possibly can since it must have play value. They love water so it isn't unusual to find them turning on faucets. Very unique and quite irritating critters!

 

[moonlessnight]

Welcome and way to go. I love madvapes they're good people. Good luck and happy vaping.

Welcome Catz! I'm so happy you joined and it's working for you congratulations on the quit...Just wait your lungs will keep improving and those deep breaths wil keep getting deeper. What? You wanted your two little crackheads to come live with me? Well OK, their awfully cute!

 

[CrazyCatz]

Thanks Moonlessnight and Beans. I can already tell a HUGE difference in my lungs.

On another note, hubbs informed me I have made a n00b mistake, lol! My liquid I use right now is called MadVapes Top Vapor Minthol not menthol. Whatever it's called, it's tasty!

Hi! Welcome to vaping, I'm new too! I have gone mod crazy and have not saved a dime..but I feel great!

 

[Bluesman]

I'll see your two beautiful cats and raise you 32. No that is not a typo. My wife is very active in animal rescue and serves on the board of a cat rescue and no-kill shelter. I am the one who has the natural ability to easily make friends with even the most abused. My move to vaping has helped even more. Some of the furry friends did not like the smell of tobacco smoke on me (I never smoked around them). So, vaping has benefits which are often not known at first.

I'm not a menthol guy but how is Mad Vapes liquid?

Hi Bluesman,

My wife (crazycatz) has only tried 3 of the flavors so far, I've tried 7 of them. The only one I really didn't care for much was the Dekang Tobacco @24mg. But the others were all good. I wrote a little more detail a little bit ago in another thread, lemme see if I can dig it up:

I'll probably try some of their Hangsen USA mix liquid once I run out of Dekang USA Mix. I just got 50ml of 6mg to combine with the 50ml of 16mg I had from my first re-order, so it'll probably be a while. Hangsen, as I understand it, was one of the main mixologists or pharmacologists at Dekang but left to start to start his own e-liquid company. Not sure on the details exactly, I was googling around about it a little a few weeks ago. But apparently the Hangsen liquids' flavors are supposed to be comparable to Dekang's.

Wow, congratulations on all of the animal care work you're doing. It's a sad reality that so many NEED rescue.

 

[GillJoy]

Thanks everyone! Please tell me, do i have access to other forums as well?

 

[Bluesman]

Ah, Nic-holio, thanks for the input on Mad Vapes. Your detail on the other thread is a great help. I am a tobacco flavor person. I have never found my favorite, although I have found many that I like. I'm going to try some 10 ml bottles to sample at Mad Vapes. I'll let you know how it works out for me. Thanks again for your great info.

Gilljoy, you can only post in the New Members forum until you have 5 posts plus 1 hour (the time needed for the 5 posts to register in the system). You can read almost any forum. I think there are one or two exceptions.

 

[VaVaunt]

I love your story CrazyCats. And I wish you and your husband the best of luck. Hope you stick around

 

[FreeFire]

Congrats to both you and your hubby! Aren't these devices incredible? We all have similar stories trying to quit, various methods and failures...then the pv's show up and each day "smokers" are no longer smokers......Yaaaaaa!

Indeed they are. I had heard about e-cigs I think it was about 2 years ago and did a little searching around. But I didn't really know what to look for to research e-cigs well, and I ran into a few of the big-name outfits online with the introductory offers and ended up being a little skeptical. Then I ran into all the propaganda from the FDA and spinoff chicken-little stories elsewhere. Also, while a couple of the guys I knew at my old job back then had talked about getting e-cigarettes, I never saw them use it or had occasion to try it. They were all still smoking analogs too, and having trouble with the e-cigs they'd bought anyway, so I figured they must not be very effective. I decided to look into it some other time once and if e-cigs ever got past what I figured was "fad stage" and matured. Too bad I didn't discover the ECF forums back then.

It was pretty amazing for a while, and still is in some ways, to see how well developed the vaping scene is when I started looking into it about 2 months ago. I hope a lot more people can find out the real scoop about vaping and I'm so glad the ECF forums and other sites like it are there.
