Sorry mate. If it makes you feel any better, I'm currently munching on a cheese and cured meat plate. Then again, it's only 11:45 here. ;)

It's all good! Still have issues from working nights so long even though I haven't worked the 7p-7a in 6 years! Luckily, thanks to vaping, I don't crave the cigarettes after the 03:00 hunger!

I thought that, too.

But now that I am vaping mostly ZERO nic, I can't say for sure if nic is addictive.

I do think at one time I had a *dependency* on it. Along with a behaviorally-reinforced *ritual* of holding, puffing and inhaling.


vaping zero nic, I am still dependent on the ritual part, but not using nicotine any longer..... so am I still an *addict*? Curious about your response.

I have tried zero nic. You can see the wonders it has done for my personality in the last few days.

Seriously, zero nic just sucks. I mean sucks. I really tried to make it work. It wasn't the hit I really wanted. It was the drug. My 2 nic was tame, even in a dripper. I figured I was over it. Nope. That 2 nic with a nice plume veil cloud...well, was the same nic as a blu @ 16 or so nic.

So no zero for me.

I agree. A big part of my tobacco use was habit, get in the car - light up and so on. Ritual also, meet with friends - light up. I think that the fiddling with vaporizers was a big reason why patches and gums failed but vaping did not.

Mine as well. Especially while driving! I was also an 'oral fixation' and stress thing. Most fire amd ems people where I worked smoked - never occurred to me to quit at that time.

I'm still waiting on a garlic juice. I love garlic. That is one I would buy ready made and I haven't bought ready made juice in over two years.

I have seriously thought about making my own, but the only way I can think of doing it is to make an extract of garlic and I know that is probably not a good idea.

Did I mention I love garlic?

I thought for sure garlic ejuice would be easy to fine. Ha. Maybe twall would test your extract after another 15 beers. (Kidding twall.) I did find this.



Probably old and not made any more.

I would definitely vape garlic if someone could come up with a real garlic vape. I would love to vape bacon, too. And cheddar.

Now, if you think I'm ...... off, I really have pulled one over on you.

Yup, you got me :thumb:

But I am a sneaky SOB and will probably lay awake for nights plotting revenge. Consider yourself WARNED

I am totally done with the whole hobby thing of vaping.

That's cool man. That's the way most of the people who vape, vape. ECF members are a very small percentage of the vaping world and a lot of us are hobbyists.

I have corned beef and rutabaga to make in the crock pot tomorrow. Or later on today. Kinda late. No ban, eh? I'll have to try another day. Then again, another mod could. There is always hope.

Damn, now I'm hungry.

And where is that Zazoie with another kitty update

Feel free to post the links of the studies of vaping, and how it is utterly harmless. It'd have to be an unbiased study....which may throw a wrench in the works....but everyone on ECF is a GOD, right? Not a problem for you, boys. Throw an animated GIF in, too. Show 'em how interwebz savvy y'all are....:D

Most of us here at ECF are smart enough to realize that vaping is not utterly harmless, BUT, it is a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Now, with that being said, I'm going to sit back and just watch. I think I smell a troll in here. After all, the Internet is full of 'em.

btw speaking of your old posts
Since getting into mechs and drippers, my MVP has sat unused for about a month now (and all the tanks I used to use on it). I felt bad, because it has always been such an awesome reliable device. It just doesn't have the guts to run what I like vaping now.
and now you all of a sudden hate all that "elitis snob crap"

Keep reading, Rotowoman. There's some great organic pudding discussion in here... :thumb:
