Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[FlamingoTutu]

I ordered 2 sets yesterday. Tutu posted the link to fastech a couple of days ago. I was getting tired of waiting for them to come back in stock everywhere else. Now there's this:

Everybody and their mother is going to come out with them now. The ones FT has now for under three bucks is selling in the US for almost $20. I'm happy with the one I ordered as long as it eventually gets here. The YouTube one is cool because it has all the sizes in one package. No idea how much they'll charge for it. They may put an end to B&Ms charging people $5 a premade coil though.

As long as there are new vapers who don't know what they're doing, there'll be B&Ms to take advantage of them. On the plus side, I think you can be massively overcharged for all of your equipment and still break even in the long run. Cigarettes are just that expensive.

Has anybody received a FT order in the past few days? How long did it tiake to get to you? Are the holidays over?

Someone already said - Whole Tobacco Alkaloids. But why that means is the extraction process from tobacco leaves takes the major (nicotine) and minor (MAOI) alkaloids. The idea is to provide a more 'complete' experience for vaping compared to smoking. One of the 'points' that struck me when I was reading about it, before trying it; was that some studies showed that 'some' people were more addicted to the MAIO's in tobacco smoke than the nicotine. At the time I watched Janet go from smoking to vaping in 1 day and I was still having a difficult time. So I self-diagnosed myself as one of those 'some'. I started vaping WTA and within a few days, I no longer 'smoked'. I vaped WTA for over a year before I weaned myself to just nic juice.

Thank you for explaining that. Every time I look for a good explanation of to provide a link, I come up with stuff from people that sound like they don't know what they're talking about.

That just ain't right - not right at all. At the very least, they should have given notice/warning and a few months before clamping down on smokers. Dang, we visit a VA hospital w/ long term care wing for disabled vets and some of those guys and gals don't have anything to look forward to besides going outside and catching a smoke. Give 'em a break - they gave a lot for us.

Yes, it's just not right. Hope they get blasted for it. It's flat out cruel.

Just wait until the taxes on ecigs pass.

Chinese New Year is coming up. Everything comes to a screeching halt then. Hopefully our stuff hits the mail (turtles) before that. Think it's in Feb.

Yep. It is feb 19. Thanks. Will place a a small order tomorrow.

Rotowoman, I agree with Flaming and Matt (I think it was Matt) when they said if you're really climbing the walls have a cigarette. A lot of people have some cigarettes while they're switching to vaping. There's no sense in driving yourself crazy unless it's something you feel strongly about. Even though I accidently quit smoking with my first rig I kept that 1/2 pack of Marlboro's on the fridge for 6 months before tossing them, just in case. As we always say, it's the cigs you don't smoke that count. When you hit those times when you really have a craving you can try vaping your face off until it passes. Sometimes that works and I'd always advise having a higher nic juice for the tough times. Just relax and enjoy vaping. it's a great ride.

This article was posted recently - The Great Nicotine Myth. Evidently ingesting it would cause awful vomiting and therefore would not be fatal.
The Great Nicotine Myth

I just gave away my last partial pack on Friday. It has been sitting around since August. The young man next door was outside when I came home from my day at the PO. I asked him how he was doing & he told me he was waiting on his parents to get home because they had the cigarettes. I came in, put my stuff down & took that pac & the lighter out to him, & told him I'd quit & was vaping now. I may pif him a starter kit & some juice. I think he got into my truck & threw trash around looking for a cig. Wasn't much trash to throw, but enough to leave the message someone had been in it. That's the first & last time I've forgotton to lock it. I started vaping on August 1st last year, (that sounds odd), & stopped smoking that day. I did make myself smoke one cigarette, once a month for the first three months. Not because I wanted one, because I didn't. I did it to engrave in my brain exactly how bad they taste & smell now. It's amazing to me that I could never smell them before. Even after a month in the hospital, & another month in a physical rehab/skilled nursing facility without a puff, & not missing them I still couldn't smell them. And the first thing I did when I got out was light up, & chain smoke for 2 days.

You have one in your device. I think they all do these days unless it's a mechanical.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

The KF was pif'd to me along with the Hana Modz, the wonderful woman who gave them to me put a coil in it so I could use it right way until I learned to do my own. I've rewicked several times, not sure how long it'll be good, but I'll sure find out! How will I know it's time to recoil?

... We vote these Aholes in and all they can do is figure ways to screw us. I think we lived in the last, best era there will ever be.

actually, most of them, I didn't vote for. I didn't get as many candidates in office as I hoped.
Then again, only 40% of us actually voted last time. And the really disappointing thing is that the other 60% are gonna just sit and complain and not realize that if they had participated, we might get better government.
Instead, we get these yahoos that just want to take the pay of large corporations rather than actually work FOR the people.

Either the vapor will drop off or you'll juice will start tasting 'off/burnt' or both.

So I bought a couple RDA's about 4 or 5 month's ago and after trying them a bit, they were just laying around. About a week ago, I got the urge to give them another try. OK, I'm starting to see what the dual coil and small clouds are all about. I dropped my nic from 12mg to 6mg straight away and went from 50/50 to 25/75 PG/VG.

The RDA is a CTL setup as dual coils (spaced), 28g Kanthal, 6x wraps, 2mm mandrel, for .45Ωs overall. Wick is from medical grade Delasco Rayon Balls.



I honestly couldn't vape this setup w/ my regular 12mg/nic and 50/50 PG/VG - just way too much TH for me. With the reduced nic and increased VG I'm actually liking it.

Good, legs. No problems and quick shipping.

Hey Mike thanks that fixed my P3.

Yep, $70 a carton here in PA. They put a tax on everything here. Which is one reason gas will never go below $2 a gallon but will go over $5 when the price goes back up.

I bought my Nautilus Mini and BVC coils from 101. They had it to me here in PA in 6 days.

That surprises me. Couple orders from them got to NY in 3 days for me.

That's one of the reasons I had no intention of quitting. Close to an Indian reservation here. Last week they had a sale. $17.50 a carton. Normally $20.

Thats good I'm about to pull the trigger on a Tobecco V4 clone they are supposed to be the best of the clones from what I've read and they have them for 24.99. Can't decide though I have an original and it is fantastic but I don't want to put out another 180 if you know what I mean.

 

[2legsshrt]

Had to put up another post you see my number of posts. Not good.
