Hi,
My name is Eoghan. I started working in a bar when I was 15 and began smoking while I worked, not really sure why, I guess I thought I was cool for cats. Over the next 17 years I tried to quit using patches, gum, Zynan, Champix and cold turkey. The only one which worked was Zyban but I had to come off the tablets after a month as I couldn't handle the mood swings and was back on the smokes fairly quickly.
Late last year I decided I was going to try & go cold turkey again on the 1/1/13 but I didn't really think I would be off them longer than a couple of days. On new years eve I bought a rechargeable cigalike, had heard a bit about them but didn't really know what to expect. Day 1 went ok but the battery on the cigalike wasn't great & I started to get really irritated at having to recharge it so often & I was tearing through the cartridges. After some reading and searching I found a website that offered collection near where I live & I bought a provari mini, 2 mini novas, 60 ml's of menthol juice and a few batteries which I picked up that evening. It was kind of expensive but I'm saving 140 euro a week by not smoking so I have recouped the initial outlay already. I love my setup and don't think I will ever go near a cigarette again, it feels strange writing that as I thought I would die a smoker.
A couple of questions:
I was in the smoking area at work today (I still take my smoke breaks even though I vape in my cubicle because I'm a slacker) and I felt a warm sensation in my pocket, figured it was just my imagination but after a few seconds it was still there and felt hotter so I reached in and it was my spare 18350 (I always carry a charged backup) and it was really hot. I dropped it and kicked it behind a metal barrier, I didn't check back on it so I've no idea if it exploded/melted/cooled back down. My Keys & phone were in my pocket, the keys have a fairly strong magnet on them. Anyone know if the batteries can be affected by magnets or what caused the battery to just start heating up?
I got some different flavoured juices & if I change juices I give the mini nova a bit of a wash but it still tastes of the old juice for a while. Anyone know a good way what I should be using to clean it so that it doesn't keep the taste of the old juice?
Thanks,
Eoghan
