New girl's first post!

[Peggy-o]

Hello everyone I'm new here and very new to vaping (started on the 25 of january).
I'm looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people!
about me: I'm 36, french, been a smoker for 15 years, and i immediately quit cigarettes when I took up vaping. With one glitch: i started on the "rechargeable/cartomizer-thingy" e-cigs that they sell in my tobacco shop (only one in the village), and after I vaped all of the guy's supplies (he was NOT prepared), he ran out and hadn't ordered anything else, and I had to smoke for a day. then my ego-C came in the mail (I was better prepared than my tobacco shop guy lol) . Haven't smoked since, thankfully because that last time I felt the difference.... heavy breathing, burning lungs, gross gross gross taste ew. Even a headache...
Anyway I'm rambling, I tend to do that, sorry.
See you all soon

Congrats on getting away from analogs and good luck to staying off them. Welcome to the board

Congrats on the victory, maybe the shop owner will start keeping a better supply now

Ha thanks guys! no that shop owner has lost my business anyway, it's not like he's supplying e-juice, only "specific to his crappy rechargeables cartomizers"......that taste very, very strange. Now that I'm hooked on strawberry and cupcakes and things like that, there is no way I'm going back to that ^^ I forgot to mention I bought a starter kit for my mother too, sent and she's waiting for it to arrive impatiently (it was her birthday last week so I jumped on the occasion, she's been smoking and trying to quit for 40 something years, so I'm hoping to save her life.....my father died of lung cancer in 2000) I can't believe none of us had heard of this before!! it doesn't seem to be very popular in France, i don't know. But it's magical and delicious.

hi peggy im working in france and managed to burn 8 cartos in a week my full suplie i ended up driving 50klm to a shop who sold e cigs he had stoped due to lack of demand but lucky he had 6 very bad tasting cartos left so i bought them all at i think 6 euro for two but was desprate so now i make sure i have a full suplie of parts and juice i dont supose you no if i can buy vg vegatble glycerin or pg from the local chemist i dont have good enough french to ask

 

[Peggy-o]

I buy everything online actually so i haven't asked my chemist..... If you want to ask yours, it's going to be called "glycérine végétale" (VG) or "propylene glycol" i suppose for PG because that's how i always see it written on things.... and yes, those weird cartos are almost impossible to find , and they taste atrocious. Why don't you buy those things online? it might take some time to come your way but you'll end up actually having them instead of hunting them down in the whole country lol..... I buy ready-made e-juice myself, so I don't know of a place online to buy these but people in here will probably know!

sorry peggy i do buy online now postage is around 7 to 10 days from the uk but as i said i killed all my carts in one week so orderd as soon as i could but with slow post i had to find a shop or buy real smokes i thing ther is a good shop in lyon and paris but its a few 100klm eather way from me so internet is the best way

the postage on larg bottles of vg and pg is high just thought if i can get localy i only need nic and flavor

 

[Peggy-o]

Well I'm sure it will depend on your pharmacy. I've even heard somewhere that some pharmacies have nicotine for sale, in the form of vaporizer tanks / recharges (how do you even say that in english lol...) you know, for the nicotine vaporizers some people use to quit smoking? I'm not sure if it's the case in France though, I might have read that info in english but i'm pretty sure it was in french...... the only way to know for sure is ask your local pharmacist ^^
edit: and I know what you mean, I was forced to smoke for a day because of this. France seems a bit backwards in regards to e-cigs lol.....

Hi Peggy and welcome to ECF! I'm glad you found ecigs and vaping to be such a pleasure, and hope you continue to enjoy better breathing. It's great that you end up showing others the way to switch after you find this tasty alternative!
