Not a happy vaper

[desk1%]

I used to smoke a pipe, mostly cigars, but yes a pipe too. I like RY 4 Tobacco - eLiquid Flavor - ECBlend and there are electronic pipes out there, while they are costly having a pipe may make you more comfortable.

Just have to soak a Boge fillered carto 10min. and you're good to go..............

I've been considering cartos and I'll do that once I've dialed in on juices that work for me. The clearos even with their faults are easy to clean and purge for different flavors. And thanks for the tip.

Yes, vaping is more involved than smoking. Yes, there is a trial and error period before finding juice and equipment that is acceptable. Nonetheless, for me, getting off of cigarettes was well worth the minor inconveniences. I’m now at the point where I have a juice I actually like, equipment that functions with reasonable consistency, a couple of backup devices for when my main equipment fails, and a cleaning/filling routine that fits nicely into my day.

If you’re hell bent on finding reasons to go back to your pipe, the good news is you’ll have no problem finding them. However, if you stick with vaping, I’m fairly certain you’ll eventually find a combination that works.

I'm not giving up. I've managed to cut the tobacco use in half which is a good thing. I no longer bring the pipe with me when I go out or to work, but I go back to it when I'm home.

I have no need to emulate the pipe with an eCig, and I find that I don't like tobacco flavors at all. I will eventually find a juice and equipment that works for me and then the pipe will go into the trash. Looking forward to that day.

This forum is a wonderful resource and I thank you all for being here.
