Happy 6th Vaperversary, Cathy!!!!!!
Thanks everyone! Who would have thought it would ever happen, much less 6 years and never going back! Thanks for all your support and help.
So this fellow at work I admire for acheiving 5+ years tobacco free whips out a cigar the other day. I asked why he went back to smoking as he puffed away on the Tiparillo type mini cigar. He replied "I don't inhale these things" and takes a big drag that he inhaled.
I told him I still smoke some but he had been a big help in aiming me towards being tobacco free. It was a big let down to see that. Believe me, I understand the grip of tobacco, but he said he doesn't inhale the thing and then did.
He said being forced to vape outside led to being around smokers and he just caved one day. I showed him my mini device and took a drag. When I exhaled and nothing came out he was like "dude, I wish I'd seen that a week ago".
He's a giant cloud guy who needs a whole cigarette worth of nic with each drag from his vape device. Like me, he said nic salts cause his urge to smoke to grow worse. I showed him my Zero and let him take a puff. He said it's too restricted. I told him about the innokin eq and he said he was going to try one this weekend.

Who knows, maybe he will get into vaping and get rid of the tobacco. You did a good thing for sure
Harm reduction is a positive thing.yeah, he was just "deflecting" (full of denial) when he said "but I don't inhale".... The addictive personality in people is a strange beast for sure ….
Yeah tobacco products are insidiously addictive. I know in my own case, I have bounced from smoking to chewing tobacco most of my life...… There have been many debates on here as to if it's the Nicotine or the other chemicals in tobacco that are responsible for the addiction.... No matter what the cause is, tobacco is indeed addictive as well as destructive.
I quit once in my early 20's for about 6 months. Then I started smoking mini cigars. Tom Thumb brand. I had to keep smoking them because they came in a nice tin with a card. There were 20 different cards, each one had a picture of something in the solar system and you could put them together in a book . One card was really rare and once I got that one I started smoking cigs again. I've still got the book. Back in the UK you can buy those books on Ebay.
Amazing how we delude ourselves. I used to tell people I didn't smoke any more, just the occasional cigar.
hmmm? So I coiled and wicked the 2nd Coopervape Skyline. I could swear both coils had the same number of wraps. Yet one read 1.8Ωs and the other 1.5Ωs. I would have expected them to be the same or at least closer in the Ω reading. Both are on Provape Radisus mods, so I'm ruling out getting different readings because they are on different mods. I'll have to pay attention to the coils when I re-wick them them the next time. Maybe I'll see a difference.

He was one who taught me about vaping early on. He still uses a Voopoo Drag with a Zeus tank at 80 watts.
well maybe this time he can stay away from tobacco.... Probably shocked you when you seen a cigar in his mouth eh? Well, at least he is trying and that's a good thing. I hope he can get completely away from smoking.
Yeah, sounds like one extra wrap. Did you build them before coffee?
On the 2nd build, I know I put an extra 1/2 wrap on it so I could bend the lead out so both leads point in the same direcrtion. Maybe I took a 1/2 wrap off the 1st build instead of doing another 1/2 wrap. Who knows?
I've only had a few vapes from each of the two builds. And they were fine. Then I turned them over to Janet and she's liking them just fine too. For her builds I use the 1 small hole adapter. If I were going to use it myself, I think I'd use the 3 small hole adapter that comes with the Coopervape atty. The 3 hole was too airy for Janet. Good I spent a few bucks more for the accessory pack of air adapters.
Once I get her KFL's replaced w/ the Skyline. I just may pick up a couple for myself too and replace the KFL-Prime's on a couple of my mods. I really like the Primes but the 2ml juice capacity can be 'trying' ... seems like they always need refilling.
My Skylines always need refilling, too. But it's because they taste so dang good and I can't put them down. I think I've hit on a killer mod, tank and juice combo.
Glad to hear you're both liking them
While they aren't as thrifty as the KFL2, the higher capacity than the Primes should stretch the interval some.

Four more Coopervape Skylines ordered.
