Introduction thread

[mthrnite]

Hey folks, I'm mthrnite (mother night, like the Kurt Vonnegut novel) but most call me mthr or mother.. I just started vaping about a week ago. As soon as I got my kit, a 510, I stopped smoking analogs, and found it pretty easy. I ran out of e-juice this weekend (lol, noob), and am currently back on smokes again till my order gets here. I'll tell you, going back to cigarettes even after only 5 days away from 'em is harsh. The things taste downright nasty now, and I'm smoking up the house again. Sucks. Anyway.. come monday or tuesday I'll have my e-liquid and all will be well again. I've been lurking here for a bit trying to figure out what's what, and find it to be a super forum with really helpful and clever folks. I look forward to getting to know y'all.

Welcome to ECF, mother! Sorry you ran out of juice! It almost happened to me once, and now I make sure it will never happen again! Maybe another member who lives close to you will respond and help you out!

welcome.

You can get yourself by on juice by picking up some Glycerine (vg) from WalMart and if you are lucky yours will be one that has the Loranns candy flavorings. Granted it would be 0nic but should still fill enough void in the analog habbit to reduce the number of cigs you smoke till the new order comes in. I've also read here that you can get some nic in this diy juice by soaking a few snus packs in the glycerine and squeezing out the juice.

Hang in there!

Well welcome mthrnite. Have you checked the PIF link? There may be a member close by who will spot you a few mls to get you through. I think there is a NC vapers forum here too. If I was close by I would run some over. Anyway a lot of us had the same issue when starting. I now have backups for my backups so I will hopefully never have to resort to a cig. BTW Vonnegut rocks - I had his brother Bernie as a proffesor.

Welcome to ECF!

Sorry to hear you ran out of juice, you brought back horrible memories for me. I did the same thing, didn't
think I would need more juice so soon, or it would run out so fast. Talk about stalking the mailman!!
I bought a small box of nic gum to sooth me till it arrived, got me over the hump.

Now I have about 25 or so bottles and flavors, and start panic ordering whenever I get down to 250mL.
Getting back to vaping after the little mishap was just sooooo easy, hang in there.

Good call on the Gum. We should suggest that more often. Many Posts like this were people run out and grab a pack of smokes when something goes wrong. Would most likely work good if they had some wallmart glycerin and flavor with a 0 nic juice.

DonG, I thought about the glycerin thing, doing that and just popping snus to get me by (soaking the snus in the gly didn't occur to me though, lol) but actually I'm glad I had to go back to analogs, just to be flabbergasted by how much nicer vaping is. I've been smoking for almost 30 years, and tried all the tricks to quit, vaping just bowled me over, it's like, perfect.
I do hope I can find some nearby folk, I'm still getting familiar with the forum here, in time I'm sure I'll get lucky.
Liv2Ski, yeah, Vonnegut, Sirens of Titan was the first real novel I ever read.. cuz it had naked ladies on the cover, so um, puberty introduced me to Kurt Vonnegut.

15 yr smoker, 2pad here (until 6 weeks ago). After a week, decided to bum a ciggy from a friend.......made it three draws and put it out....NASTY. Definitely put in perspective how much better vaping is. Have a great day.

Awesome! I've got two emergency sources nearby now! If my order isn't "out for delivery" tomorrow, I think it'll be worth a quick trip to Clayton. Thanks muchly for pointing that thread out!

I'm going to be in Knightdale later today...are you anywhere near there? I'd be happy to meet up with you and bring some liquid.

 

[Liv2Ski]

You are welcome. I am not sure how many posts you need to be able to get PM's (I think 10 or 15) so reply to a few who have responded here to get post count up. I would expect if someone is close by they will try to PM you. I have posted this thread in the emergency needs maybe someone will see it. This is a great community and if there is a member close by with extra you may be vaping later today.

I'm in south Raleigh, near Garner, so a bit away from Knightdale. I'm thinking we could grab some coffee sometime this week maybe though, like Cup-a-Joes @ Mission Valley maybe. BTW, I checked your album here and DAG GIRL you gots a lot of kit!

Ah, most days during the week I have two babies and one car seat . We'll get it worked out though...gotta meet another local fellow vaper!

Hahaha, I don't have much anymore. I have given away a lot of stuff. I'm down to a 5v mod, 3 eGo batts, a green box mod (I keep for sentimental reasons, I don't even have a charger for it's battery LOL), one manual and one auto 510 battery, 3 attys, some cartos and about 50ml of juice. Wait, even that sounds like a lot actually. I swear I'm trying to downsize!
