Oh, this post is very encouraging!! I am having a hard time losing my 'grief weight' and my dear hubby has been gone 7 years. I hate not being at my fighting weight. LOL. Wow, congratulations on being tobacco free and thinner!!

Remainder of the post snipped for brevity, but that's quite a testimonial to the effectiveness of vaping. Anecdotally, smoking cessation by other methods is almost always accompanied by weight gain.

Yup - 10+ (varying between 10 and 13) lbs down after I quit vaping and still holding 3 1/2 months later. It's so easy to vape a bavarian cream chocolate donut than to buy and eat one. I feel a lot better and my cravings are satisfied. WIN WIN.

I quit smoking and lost 20 lbs after I had a heart attack in 12/11
I started smoking again after 17 days. 17 days!
I gained 5 lbs back but I kept hiking.

I started vaping in March 2013 and quit smoking about a week later.
I lost that 5 lbs again and just look at that sig :)

I'd be broke and fat if I ate enough PB & Milk Chocolate or Butterscotch to keep my face tasting this good!

Not getting winded when I hike is just a groovy side effect.
One that should last a few more years puffing a Vamo instead of cancersticks.

I hiked a firetrail I use at 3MPH for 2 straight hours in HOT July to see what condition my condition is in.
My cardiologist says I'm in better shape than him now :laugh:

Thanks man I appreciate the concern but I am up to speed on the safety issues, I am using a fuse, and the lowest resistance I wanna go is around .8
And you are right about the batteries, glad I picked up this little nuggetthe other day.

I got a kick too but that was just incase I had issues building coils. I need to pick up some 28 or 26 gauge right now i only have 32 and 30
and getting a resistance that works well on a mech AND good heat distribution with the thinner wire is tough.

Oh and I picked up a K100(28.00) and a Sigeli 8 (16.00) from the Health Cabin Co-op. The girls that run it do it every month and it's super fast I want to say it was 10 days from start to finish and that was including shipment from China>Arizona, sorting,repackaging 40 something orders>Maryland.

I Highly recommend getting verified and taking a look.
Be careful if you decide to try that Kick in the K100. I bought a K101 at a local B&M and thought about getting a Kick for it, but was concerned about the fit. I asked the clerk to try it out, and it would fit, but very snugly. The top of the K100/101 is not removable so if you cram a kick in there, you may never get it out. Not worth losing an accessory that's more expensive than the mod.

I gained almost 30 lbs when I quit and started vaping
can't blame vaping though.. darn endo upped my anti thyroid meds so I was pretty much on couch lock
finally decided, against orders, to reduce my meds til I felt humanish again.. have lost about half that 30 now

They had me on Beta Blockers following the HA.
They wouldn't let me exercise. I got fatigued instead of pumped. I got off them asap (with Doc's blessing).
I started dropping weight like crazy that week and got used to hiking farther almost immediately.

I should check, not sure on numbers but mom told me I'm getting skinny lol. It's a combination of factors. When I started vaping I was doing it so much at night I couldn't get to sleep. I said, I'll cut out caffeine, so no more coffee and soda, lots of water. That made me want to eat better. Feeling better, so boyfriend and I spend our weekends going on hikes.

i did try the vanilla cupcake but mehhhh taste like wood the only juice i didnt liked from MBV. Im waiting for Strawberry Cheescake from FT i have good hopes on that one also,

If your not much into cinnamon, then try sticky bun. It's less cinnamon than cinnamon roll and you get more of the buttery sweet roll flavor

Well after about 3 weeks steeping time my attempt at the DIY feature BlueBerry Sour has finally started to taste good! I just wish I didn't get the 6 mg nic cause there is no throat hit at all!

Plus I ordered Sucker Punch but when will this start tasting good! Again steeping for 3 weeks but GAH! I transfered it one of my glass bottles and put in on my "Another Day Shelf" Also having a problem with Tropic Thunder...this has run me short and still waiting for the Hawk Sauce and Johnny Chimpo to get in stock before I make my monthly order.

Plus I should get my Davide Glassomizer. I have a Protank...and a Protank 2 so I thought I would give the Davide a try.

I know, right? I LOVE the mini's...:hubba: I have 3 right now, and am getting more. I've also found that replacing the old small EVOD coils with the mini-coils turns the EVOD into a BEAST! :blink: Nice draw, huge vapor volume, etc. I really like it but YMMV.
