We have LOL. You'd have to be a smoker to understand. Its a trial and error thing. Once you figure it out, go from there. Kinda like trying to describe how to use a stick shift vs an automatic to someone who doesnt drive.
Are you writing a thesis? When I started smoking, my high school offered an elective on smoking. Don't they offer those courses anymore?
No, I'm not and I doubt my school offers that. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding but like the other user said, it's a trial and error "thing". So I guess I'll get it sooner or later.
Hey Folks! Don't you just hate it when sarcasm gets wasted on the youth?
I sometimes wonder if young people know what sarcasm is. (Is this sarcasm, too?)
haha, hey im 18 and i would never appear that ignorant! its not all youth!
Traceur, please don't take this the wrong way.
For all the new people just joining this thread, let me simplify the whole thing for you.
How do you smoke? I don't think I'm doing it right.
I just had one hell of a good laugh, thinking about this.
edit:
This is why it's so funny. Most all the rest of us will understand. Nobody taught me how to smoke. When I had my first cigarette, someone said, "Just inhale on it, then blow it out". I coughed up a lung, and they said, "Good job, that's smoking."

I agree that you shouldn't start vaping unless you need to in order to keep from smoking, but I'll still give you a tip about inhaling.
Pull longer and slower than when you smoke a cigarette, and pull it into your mouth before you inhale into your lungs (if you so choose).
Damn, my first cigarette was...12 years ago almost to the day. I hacked, coughed, and wheezed, and got hooked from peer pressure. Don't let what your friends or celebrities are doing convince you, make the choice now to take care of yourself while you have the chance, and screw what those idiots think. Don't risk your health like all of us have.

I know you were being sarcastic and I don't care for it. But listen "old timer", if you got nothin good to say, don't say it. Stop trolling on my thread and leaving smart-... remarks because you're wasting my time and yours. I'm just curious about a lot of things, it that so ....in wrong ?

I understand that you are curious, but you have to understand it is not beneficial to us to help nonsmokers vape.
My bad, you did take it the wrong way. I should have known. I'll stop messin around with the young and inexperienced. However!!!! You missed my first post where I DID answer every single question you had. By the way, I'm not trolling. I just made a joke. We'll just chalk it up to a learning experience for you. Good luck.
To OP, your thread may soon be derailed. Dont be drawn in to an escalation tactic. It can get you banned. Those who have been here longer will only be warned.
To a few others: Play nice. Keep to the topic. Dont play God. I sure dont want to be judged for judging others. You have an ignore feature, if you just keep seeing this in "new posts", it will make it go away.
Now, I'm leaving. They have enough info. If there are other questions, I'm sure they will start a new thread.
OP, you can go to the bottom of your forum, and find a moderator name and ask to have the thread closed if it starts to get to hot for you
All is said with the best intentions, and no ill will toward anyone, so please dont take it personally. Thats not how its meant.

I agree completely. We are here because of an addictive and deathly habit we have succumbed to. To advise someone A's young A's yourself does not make me feel comfortable. Understand my comments are from a loving and caring stance. Whatever your choice Good Luck.
You know, I was just out working on my car, and thinking about this thread. The question came to mind on why an 18 year old non smoker is asking for advice on how to smoke. Then it dawned on me, before I found ECF, I started using a PV in place of my 30 year smoking habit. I looked up a lot of information online, and found quite a bit of anti E-cig propaganda. One of the biggest concerns of these anti people was that it's going to push young people, who don't smoke, to use a PV. It was for this very reason, that the company I bought my first one from discontinued good flavors. It made me angry, because I couldn't believe that someone would start using this just because. Well, I stand corrected. Here we have a living proof of that fear, and it's the beginning of a PV ban.
Ill agree with that!!, ok im not exactly old (only 22) but I have smoked since the age of 14 and about 20 a day since 15 going on 16 not to mention loads of dope in college and university (bad I know)... Im using e-cigs as I have two very young children who I want to see grow up and a wife (same age as me) who I want to grow old with! I cant understand for the LIFE of me WHY you would want to take up an alternative to smoking without reason and im only... what 4 years older than this guy!
I am not going to say don't do it blah blah, but I will say you are messing with a chemical that is addictive as ......, choose to believe me or not. If your going to do it, stick to 0mg if your going to vape nicotine without being prior addicted then go for it! just I hope you look back one day and ask yourself WTF was I thinking when you are like the most of us "hooked" on a pointless drug!
Good luck pal

Exactly. If they're going to pick up a habit, for whatever reason people pick up habits, then they need to start like we did. Let 'em do a few years on analogs and earn the right....
Wow, when I look at it that way, seems pretty silly, doesn't it?
But after all, we do this for medicinal reasons. Never mind the almost carnival atmosphere when it comes to vaping some delicious new flavors. After all, this is serious business.
Didn't we just have a big push to sign a petition against a ban on tasty flavors? I mean, sure, we use them for medicinal/therapeutic reasons... But why should they not be delightful? Other medicine is. Oh wait, scratch that. It isn't.
Seriously, I wish we could do this with a little less hypocrisy.
I did take it the wrong way and I'm sorry. I have read all of your posts and everyone else's as well and I really appreciate all the advice. I'm definitely going to vape with zero nicotine. I've had that in mind ever since I started vaping. Thank you Gordon and thank you everyone else.
