Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[3mg Meniere]

Sure, always room for one more.

And remember the back porch for off-topic subjects. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lounge/520776-older-folks-vaping-back-porch-part-2-a.html We don't want mod interference.

I just realized, today is an excellent date for my quit date... 02/28/14 ... can't ask for better!!

You can do it, trust me. I was a die hard quitter. I tried the patch, gum, Chantix, hypnotism, you name it....
and I could NOT quit.

August 1st 2013 I picked up my first e-cig........and kaboom, that was all she wrote.

So.. If I can do it.......anyone can ....

Over the past 30 yrs I've tried: cold turkey, pregnancy (well I didn't get pregnant for that reason, heh), and the patch twice... never could quit for more than 3 months, and usually it was like, a week, and I'd be back smoking, *sigh* Started making a *serious* effort with vaping about 3 wks ago... gradually got my consumption down from about a pk a day, till it was just 2.. then 1... then I was like, well I might as well go ahead and quit, after 1 cig a day for 3 days worked fine. Today was the day I managed to abstain from my morning smoke, so it's my quit day.

But for me it's not just the e-cigs, though Im sure I couldn't have done it without them... it's also these folks, putting up with all my excuses and blathering... What an amazing support group!!! I wish there was an emoticon for "GROUP HUG!!!" I'd like to plant a big fat juicy one on ALL OF YOU!!!

MWA!

I think this is what ya lookin fer ???

 

[Iffy]

Also, any recommendations for a nic vendor?

I've bought most of my nic (>5 liters) at RTS VAPES. They're closed today, but will be open tomorrow. I also caught a nic $ale at HIGHDESERTVAPES

damn. is this really the old folks thread?

what the hell are they putting in all y'alls Geritol?

"Natures spelled backwards." Keeps us on da 'go'

I will probably start with apple and cinnamon, to make sure I get the right proportions, since cinnamon is so strong.

Ya might try Capella's Apple Pie. It has a very pleasant cinnamon background flav, not overwhelming at all. I also add some Capella's Green Apple to boost da apple component.

I'm now at the 24 hr mark exactly, since my last smoke. WOOHOO!

 

[flintlock62]

+1 one on Capella's Apple Pie!

Howdy.....
you folks got room fer another ole dude ??

Way to go Andria - super!

Howdy.....

Indubitably! Welcome to the porch.

OMG!!!
And here I've been beating myself up trying to remedy the $1,400 I spent my first two months vaping! The cost of all of that staggers my poor old brain!
I'm preparing for that eventually too.

But I spread it out over 2 1/2 years not 2 months. And besides hanging out on the porch I spend a lot of time in the co-ops. That really helped me build my stock and keep prices down. All the Zmax's, T-Max, VTR, R91, AGAs, AGT, Davides, Vivia Nova's, Sig 19's came from co-ops and the real DIDs and Cobra (opps forgot to list that one) came from the classies for like 1/2 price. Still a bunch of $'s but I wouldn't have what I have if I paid full retail for it all. I''m a sucker for a good co-op.

I must be getting old I thought that's where I was :duh

You're gonna fit in right nice around here.

Congratulations Andria....enjoy your day

 

[flintlock62]

I can almost smell that stinking ashtray.

Frame that pic, and put it on your wall!

On an ever expanding porch, park it where you get the best view and enjoy our "sanity"

You can do it, trust me. I was a die hard quitter. I tried the patch, gum, Chantix, hypnotism, you name it....
and I could NOT quit.

yep Vaping works!

I must be getting old I thought that's where I was :duh

naw. THIS thread is for vaping related posts (and welcomes)
THAT thread is for non- vaping posts (and welcomes)

Myrany or anyone else... could you suggest the most helpful youtube video to rebuild the protank/evod heads? I usually search out PBusardo...but if there is anything else that's more informative please let me know. I really need to set aside an afternoon to try and rebuild my ceramic cups and evod heads.

 

[grandmato5]

Back from vacation and trying to catch up on the thread. Boy you guys have been chatty while I've ben gone Welcome to all the new people on the front porch

Not happy to read the EU news

My goal since shortly after I started vaping was to never ever go back to smoking no matter what happened in the future so I've been creating my longevity vaping stash for quite a while now. Besides the PV's and RDA's I consider the friendships and contacts in the vaping world I've made to be the most important part of that stash. Having friends that I'd gladly share with if in need along with knowing they would share with me is priceless

Congrats Andria

Myrany- any advise on building my first coil on my RM2 ? It came shortly before I left on vacation so I didn't bother to play with it, but now I'm hoping to find time this weekend to do my first build on it.

Well, even though Dave at MadVapes told me that they'd have the black and silver AROs back in stock later today, I just went ahead and ordered the red one, just can't wait any longer or I'll NEVER get this thing. Hopefully there won't be anymore snowmageddons in the next few days betwixt GA and NC!

Thanks, grandmato5, nice to meetcha!! (still smokefree!! I knew getting over that morning-smoke hump would be the hardest part and I did it!)

Thanks Ken...I'm leaning real hard toward this. Got plenty toppers for it, but gotta get a better Tip (curved) and the 'kick' is extra, too, I guess.

Don't look like Sniffle's Co-Op is going to make it, so may as well get a couple 'kicks' from FT when I order...today.

Yes, you can

 

[williegntx]

Geeze...being gone for one day is hard enough to catch upon post, but 2 days, overwhelming!

Welcome to all the new voices here.

 

[bsoplinger]

Random thoughts...

Roonies (sp?) glad to see you back, hope the recovery goes well.

Andria, I think you'll like the new tank, even if the color changes how it tastes

What exactly did happen in the EU? I've tried looking here and just Google-ing (is that a word yet?) but couldn't find fit for non European info on exactly what was passed and exactly how it effects actual law. Any have a good pointer to useful info?
