Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[LittleBird]

I don't even know what a billet box is but, congratulations on wining one. Even if you had to fight for it.

It's an amazing little box mod. VV up to 6.0. juice tank is inside. Very easy to fill. Uses carto's, a rebuildables carto-like device, or something called a "billet bridge" with a BVC (not nautilus) coil. Virtually indestructible.

Strange how cigs were addictive before the chemicals were added....

What isn't addictive...

I'm vaping a lovely mixture of cinnamon danish and vanilla cupcake. Tastes exactly like a Cinnabon. Giving up one addiction for another. At least this one has fewer calories!

I'm so glad! It's alarming to say the least. I had actually forgotten that it was Brown and Williamson and the scientist who resigned and whose life was left in ruins was Jeffrey Wigand. The Cig company went as far as tapping his phone. His entire family went into hiding after serious threats were made against their lives. It's so terrifying that we have such lowly primates in such powerful positions. I just can't accept that they are people -- that they are human. I did not evolve from that particular branch!!! It took us 13.8 billion years to arrive here, and they are still in the mud and slime! I just do NOT understand!

They want to stop us at any cost! These are prominent families who make a show of going to church on Sundays!

Not surprising. I know of another organization like that. Human nature can get like that, when people are trying to protect their financial livelihood.

A certain quasi religious organization?

For those wondering, we had another battle pillarz game on the billet box thread, and I won!! This time two of us won a BB. I had to pass up the purple one, that was hard, because I was mesmerized by the holographic etched copper doors, so I chose a very interesting brown one to put that door on

Nice! Congrats!

Paying taxes ... it's just mandatory.

Good read ... but I'm still flushing mine down the toilet ... I ain't throwing it in the backyard bare handed.

Forgot to quote, but I think the jury is out on the addictive quality of nic. Like many other chemicals, it seems to vary depending on the user's physiology and the level/duration of exposure. I know this is not a popular opinion.... Please, don't shoot!

I'm addicted to nic but I smoked for 43 years. Quit the nic for several months and, believe me, I didn't do as well as I thought I was. Started with a little nic and felt way better. My only point was, research seems to indicate that that never smokers that use nicotine (not via a cigarette) don't have a problem quitting and that the seven buffoons were being deliberately misleading.

I'd never shoot you. Besides, if I did, you're so little there'd be no usable parts left.

And then they made it more addictive. WTAs or whatever other acronyms you can toss in there? I'm no expert on that stuff. What I was talking about was just nicotine, not nic inhaled from a cigarette.

They're in the news again today, lovable people that they are.

Hi folks. Just popping in to drop a link to a Provari base at a great price. Maybe for those on a fixed income or for C-Mas?

I love those bases. Thought I'd hat them but got one dirt cheap and found out I really, really like them. I also lose my mod a lot less with it standing up all the time.

Is the price in the link fair? Dunno myself

I have caught my nemmys standing up and getting hot any number of times. Bad Binky!!! Bad Num-Num!! I am going to try to lay them down on washcloths or nappys more often.

Provape sells them for $35.99. It's the second best price I've seen for them. I got them for less than half that but it was some special overstock thing on another site. I'm almost tempted with this since all they had was brass, black and, I think blue. No SS. And they turn your Provari from a lethal weapon into a super weapon.

I knew I was going to get it for that.

I remember the TV commercials glorifying how healthy analogs were...there were less chems in cigs early on. They were still loaded with preservatives however.

Yeh, that was the really strange thing. Talking to my dad years ago he said that his grandparents knew cigs weren't good for you then. You can't tell me doctors didn't know better.

Awesome, I love the Celtic knot. Next on the list. Be a decade before I can get it.

I made the mistake of bringing up those “seven dwarves” on ECF once and got quite the education. It seems those creeps were correct, though what they were saying was meant to deceive. I consider what they said a (huge) notch above lying. Hope there is special place in hell...

Nicotine is most likely not addictive to a never smoker. If someone who never smoked started vaping using nicotine, they likely would never get addicted to it. It’s the toxic soup that BT has concocted in their cigarettes, I assume combined with the nicotine, someone correct me if I’m wrong, is what makes it so addictive. Anyway, check out the links in this thread, posts 1, 11 and 13. Great Article on the Possible Health Benefits of Nicotine

Hi, FlamingoTutu!

No, a *vaper ony* would not become addicted to nicotine. They added extra amounts of nicotine and manipulated ways for it to cross over to the BBB after the first inhalation so that people started relying on that high that would hit their CNS like a freight train. Henry Waxman, who I still see a lot of to this day, just would not let them weasel out of the questions so easily. When vaping, nicotine is not delivered in the same way at all. When I was at 8 mg I barely noticed. I did not vape more to compensate, but at the very beginning I did like crazy! I have been nicotine-free for nearly two years, but that is only because I wanted to ween myself off so I would not have any sort of addiction. For myself, I have quite a behavioral addiction to inhaling and exhaling -- it's an oral addiction. I am going to fill a soda straw with cotton at one end for resistance to see if I might be able to fool myself in between using my vape by taking deep breaths and exhaling the same way I vape.

Another thing that is interesting is that nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants (Solanaceae). Lower quantities in potato, tomato, eggplant and green pepper, morning glory -- also the leaves of the coco plant, but it is predominant in tobacco. (maybe that is why I eat french fries at home so often!) I remember before heady exams that I would load up on nicotine and caffeine in order to increase brain activity. I did better on tests. When they studied alertness among smokers, they found much higher scores, but not an increase in overall intelligence, just in being able to keep doing the same tasks over and over faster and with higher accuracy rates than in nonsmokers. I thought my recall was faster when I was a smoker, but that all changed after being off of it for a few years. I drink coffee and without caffeine I get grouchy! I'll check out the threads you mentioned!!!
