Thought this might look good in our new digs.
And a PSA for Unc:

Hello and welcome to the Older Folks and vaping Back Porch. This thread was originally titled Older People 55 and Up. The original thread was started almost 4 years ago and grew to almost 19,000 posts. The mods kindly asked us to close it and start a new thread.

I thought I would start a thread mostly for older folks but everyone is welcome. It is primarily to help longtime smokers to get off cigarettes and stay off by sharing our vaping experiences. Most everyone reading this has already started vaping so our goal is to support one another and help those beginning the vaping journey.
I have been vaping 2 1/2 years after smoking off and on for 60 years. I inhaled my first cigarette at 10 and by the time I was 15 I was smoking a pack a day. I've struggled with quitting smoking for 30 years and discovering the e-cig and vaping has been a life saver for me. I was diagnosed with COPD about seven years ago and my health was deteriorating rather quickly with loss of breath and coughing continuously. Since I started vaping my health has improved tremendously so that is why I'm so adamant about helping others make the same decision.
I have been vaping for 2 1/2 years but I'm far from an expert on vaping equipment but I have tried most devices or similar ones out there so I do have an opinion on most of them. We are all different when it comes to vaping and one thing doesn't work for all in fact very few of us will settle on using the same juices and PV's. That is what makes having a thread that we can discuss all e-cig related stuff without arguing about what is best is a good thing.
I have found that most of us older folks and long time smokers like the no muss no fuss PV's especially in the beginning. We would like to hear all of your stories and vaping experiences and what devices you started with and your journey to what you use now.
Us older folks do like to socialize along with our vaping but we need to keep this thread mostly about vaping or it will be moved to a social forum. We do have another thread in the Lounge Forum that is both social and vaping related.
I hope this thread is a success in helping others along the vaping trail

So with Txtumbleweed’s original intentions in mind, come join us on the back porch, bring your favorite PV and beverage, sit down and relax with us. This thread is in the lounge so we are free to talk about vaping and anything else that suits your fancy. Let the good times roll.
We also have a Front Porch in the General Forum where we hang out to share our stories about getting started on our vaping journey and all topics related to vaping. Please feel invited to join us there too. Here’s the link:

Thank you so much, Mike! I love the picture of tx. That's a fitting way to start each new iteration of the Porches. After all, it was txtumbleweed that set the tone for the threads in the first place. It was largely due to his loving, gentle character that the threads had such a great start to be the loving, incredible places they are.
I totally agree! Even my daughter is starting to understand what an incredible place this is! I never would have imagined how close people could be over the internet. It's a rare and special thing.
This is a fitting time for me too. I'm starting anew. I'm recovering well from my surgery. They're even coming to take back all the oxygen paraphernalia today. So, no longer dependent on any machines.
I haven't started dancing yet. But, I will.
If you live out in the country like me one can pee off the back porch if they want to.Some things can't be done on the porch.
Oh man - you brought back memories. My kids used to start about the time we backed out of the driveway...
Wow didn't get totally caught up before I signed off last night, but wow, got two pages on the old porch now 3 on this one to catch up on.
Just wanted to thank everyone so much for their prayers, and let y'all know that the bone spur surgery went great, took about 20 mins, and recovery about the same. They got a lot of numbing meds in there so it's just a tad tender. They want him off work longer than the job gave him, so after he'll figure out later if he'll try to go back Saturday with restrictions of not being on his feet much, or tell em he won't be back til after Dr appt next Monday. So glad he was able to get this done, and hope it makes a HUGE difference with the pain he's been in. Appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts and wishes so much!
