Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Diver9543]

Jup.....a few days ago I was watching a show, and folks kept lighting cigs...... now I haven't wanted a cig in a 2-3 years, usually don't even think of em, or if I do it's in disgust..... but there was something about them lighting them, that for just a second made me think fondly about that. Not a real craving, didn't even want the cig, it was just about lighting one. It was over quickly, but May will be 4 yrs for me and that conditioned response was still there. It was a bit shocking

I do the same thing. Also, I have been having dreams of smoking and during the dream, I know I vape but think that a few won't hurt. I think that one reason I am having the dreams is that I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary the end of the month.

Honest injun ... never saw that movie.

HOW? It is a cult classic and I have to watch it every time it comes on.

Never used it, it always sounds a lot more finnicky than cotton and KGD works great for me. I do peel off the outer layers, as it seems to gunk quicker if I don't.


oh man.........you gotta see it. That and the blues brothers.


yeah I believe this was something british, and possibly older. Don't remember exactly which show it was, but I was watching a lot of that stuff on netflix at the time.

I agree with the KGD, I also take off the outer pieces. Makes a great vape on my drippers and Kangers.

I saw a new recipe and just had to try it out.
Fluffer Nutter
30ml 3mg 60/40
Nic 5% 1.5ml
PG 10% 3ml
VG 60% 18ml
Marshmallow (TPA) 8% 2.4
Peanut Butter (TPA) 17% 5.1

I kept it in a crockpot for 24 hours using a milk frother on it whenever I thought of it. I loaded it in my Kanger and I am really liking the taste. It has a roasted nut kind of flavor. I don't know if I will use it for an ADV but it is great for a change.

Good evening Debadoo, with the KGD I peel the outer layer also; seems more absorbent that way. But just have to give the Rayon a shot since I have never used it and if I can get better flavor with it then I have another goto wicking material. LOL had to buy quite a bit doesn't come in small quantities. Thanks for sharing your experience with me I appreciate that.

Me too! My anniversary is Feb.27.

Sounds good. I think I'll try it. Do I have Peanut Butter flavoring? Hmmm.

 

[Debadoo]

I think I got the DIY stuff down. I ordered some sweetener, sour, and sweet & tart. It makes a big difference. The sweet tart really makes the fruit flavors pop.

oh that's great! So you're getting more of the blueberry now???

Normally it doesn't affect me at all, but for some reason the other night it did. I still didn't want a cig....was just sentimental about the light and that first draw. But it does make me know that even after more than 3.5 years, if I couldn't vape, I would be smoking. Congrats on your 1 year!! That's a wonderful milestone!! You'll have to remind us when it comes up.

LOL had to buy quite a bit doesn't come in small quantities.

Jup, this is why I've never tried it I wouldn't be opposed to trying it in case it's better, but am happy with KGD, and don't wanna buy a bunch in case I don't like it. Someone sent me some of the texas tough cotton that most really love, but I really didn't care for it. When you get your rayon, if you like, I'll swap ya some Tx tough cotton for a small piece of rayon. If you don't wanna that's fine too.

Me too! My anniversary is Feb.27.

Awesome!! You'll have to remind us also!! Love the vape a versaries!!

Deb, I’m so glad you get it, I really am. For me it’s not the lighting up but the first inhale. Man, what a relief. Or it was. You don’t get that from vaping, at least I don’t. The nic is still important to me. Guess it always will be even if I loathe it.

I would like to know your experiences with Rayon Wicking please?
I'm thinking about using it since I'm all about the Flavor, but would like to hear from my own peers over those opinions of the younger Cloud Chasing crowd.
Thank you ahead of time for your time in sharing your opinion

I quit the fiberglass after I got some bum coils that were stuffed with, for lack of a better term, fiberglass sweepings. Fiberglass usually comes in a "rope." This stuff was random fibers stuffed into the coil. When I tried to remove it later with other coils in the pack it came out in tufts, not a rope. Vaping it was similar to inhaling nettles. The irritation was awful. Boiled cotton balls and tried that but it was like vaping sweaty socks. Tried Koh Gen Do and thought it was the cat's meow. Perfect. Then DavidOk sent me some rayon. OMG, what an improvement, but I have a many years' supply of the pads.

I think it goes the same route as flavoring, different strokes for different folks. At least there is no way for them to regulate it. They're relatively inexpensive to try and decide on upon what your taste buds tell you.

Great stuff, switched to it a couple years back. Wicks better than anything else I've tried, fibers are aligned "naturally", so no need to comb it straight.

As with all wicking material, expect a few tryies to get the density right. Tight to snug fit inside the coil, as it will compress a bit when wet.

This. If at first you don't succeed; try, try again until you get it right.

I've never gotten those codes to work. I've only tried to buy a max number of items that give you an automatic discount and then a few that don't on an order but have never gotten a coupon discount. Is there a secret handshake I've missed?

Interesting thing about movies and smoking. They don't anymore. Cuts when they should exhale or it really looks fake.

Notice how only the bad guys really smoke these days?

I do the same thing. Also, I have been having dreams of smoking and during the dream, I know I vape but think that a few won't hurt. I think that one reason I am having the dreams is that I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary the end of the month.

When I was quitting I had a dream where I smoked. I woke up and promptly confessed to my husband, who was very understanding. I really hate that he thinks it was hilarious to this day.

Deb, I’m so glad you get it, I really am. For me it’s not the lighting up but the first inhale.

yeah the first inhale goes with the lighting. It's that smell of the fresh unlit tobacco, then that first whiff of burning tobacco and the inhale all together. But luckily I then thing about how disgusting that last actual puff of a cig was and I don't wanna smoke. But I am so grateful for vaping......it's similar enough, and nothing else would have ever gotten me off cigs.

BTW, if anyone else wants to try some of the Texas tough cotton, pm me your addy. This is what it is.

Shut up, you're making me want a cig. Okay, not really. So grateful vaping came around, otherwise I'd still be smoking. Blast from the past I can do without, happily.

lol sorry bout that

Good morning Debadoo, we can do that we'll both get to try out something different. Of course I'll let you know when I get it and load some up. We can exchange snail mails.
Make it a great day

Good Morning Porchers & Prochettes; I hope you all have a Wonderful day

Good morning Flamingo Tutu, and thank you for sharing your experiences with the different wicking materials. I appreciate that, and agree thank goodness they are inexpensive to try out. And it sure is subjective so I'll give it a try and see what I can taste from it. I also use KGD and strip off the outer layer which I like quite a bit. I will have to post the different materials that I have tasted and what my thoughts were on them, but I'm still in the testing mode so far since I've just recently gotten into concern over the wicking materials. For the longest time I used Organic Cotton Balls.
Make it a great day

oh that's great! So you're getting more of the blueberry now???

Well I ordered citrus punch & caramel cappuccino so I'm gonna mix those up today, but I think I mastered the blueberry for now.

kewl on the blueberry, and good luck on the new ones. You're doing great! Wish I'd known a few years ago how simple DIY can be.

Happy Groundhogs Day to all! Puxatawny Phil predicted an early Spring!! I'm ready for it!!

 

[Old Curmudgeon]

The only thing that threw me off was the "add ons", like the sour & sweetener. They really make a difference.

I got some sweetner, but haven't used any sour. May have to get some of that since I vape pretty much only fruity juices. I do use lemon juice, but may sour has something else

Had to come over here for some sanity. Been hangin out on some of the threads for devices that are high power cheap prices and guys are blowing up their batteries. One guy is vaping Ti on power mode. Filled with people sho should be using cigalikes that have 200w TC mods its just crazy. Ohms law what's that? Man what a zoo. The only thread that has any sanity lately is the SX threads. They are like being in a beginners thread. Oh well I put my worth in and left.

huh ... not supposed to talk about nic over 100mg on ECF for safety reasons ... I wonder if a time will come when certain build combinations & mods will be restricted.
