Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[nicnac]

Went to vaping unflavored for a while when I was trying to sort out what was causing my health to go to war with my vaping. I really like the unflavored. My six month constant headache went away when I told my doctor neither God nor a gun was going to ever make me take a statin again. Didn't even know it was from the statin.

Your headache went away because you started vaping unflavored or because you stopped taking statin?

My universal coiling tool and 30g wire arrived today. The leaning curve is fast, and I am wondering how I put it off for so long. Still gotta figure out how many wraps. So much simpler and prettier.

The statin. I've had the nic headaches but don't use nearly enough to nic to get them now. With all the problems the statin had caused me, it never occurred to me (duh) that the chronic headache was cause by it too. The unflavored is quite good though. It does have a flavor though, slightly sweet.

Have you been in here before nicnac? If not, big welcome to the porch!

Pretty cool, ain't it?

No. just stumbled into this thread. Thank you.
I think headaches are also flavor related. What nic level do you use? what gear?

8 wraps 24ga single coil in the Tugboat clone reads .7Ohm on the iStick. The cap doesn't have an option for single airflow but vapes great anyway. Easy to cut off the air on the other side with my thumb if need be.

The headache stopped within a couple of days of quitting the med perhaps six weeks ago. I use 3mg up to 6mg on a provari with a Davide and 1.8 coil. My headache comment was more a sympathy reply to 0mg's problem and that I can really relate. Since I DIY, I'm going to be slashing the flavor down, lol. And yeah, if it gets tasting any stronger, it will be giving me a headache!

 

[3mg Meniere]

I made up four 40 ml bottles today at 33% less flavoring. Will see how it rolls.

Looks like Steam engine is right. on number of wraps.

3mg at 10W on 1.8 coil

I get headaches from artificial sweetener maybe some artificial flavors as well not sure on that though.

I seem to shake everything now including... bottle of beer

Oh my...!

The headache stopped within a couple of days of quitting the med...

...as did my aching muscles when I dropped da statins!

 

[bigbells]

Like a lot of other vapers, I've reduced my flavoring percentages, simply because my taste buds have become less numb as time passes.

I seem to shake everything now including try to shake the toothpaste, bag of dog treats, flashlight, bottle of beer and the TV remote

just stumbled into this thread. Thank you.

Any navigation method is A-OK!

Hey, a shout out to and a warm welcome for our new nicnac (one of my Mom's fav words; day-um near everything was a nicnac)!

Obviously, ya did a lil' window shoppin' fer a comfortable plop down location. I'm fairly sure ya won't be bored on da porches and with our priceless gathering!

Muscle aches had gotten very debilitating. Man I feel good since quitting smoking and statins.

My sense of taste did improve, I loath fast food now. Tastes horrible.

wow, can't believe I am actually on my laptop and got to post that!

You won't find a better group of people ANYWHERE!

My recommendation is a 30 Watt iStick, which is much smaller than your MVP. Even the 50 Watt iStick is significantly smaller than an MVP and has 4400 mah of battery life. About $35 and $43, respectively. For reasonably priced topper, I recommend any version of Kanger Protank, $6 to $17 depending on version and size.

As much as we like our iStick 50's, I'm hesitant to recommend them. I follow the iStick 50 thread and have read many folks report the 'auto-fire' syndrome. It just fires up at its own choosing - sometimes even when it's been turned off. We have 3 of 'em and one of Janet's just started 'auto-firing'. She was sleeping and heard a sizzling noise. It was the iStick on the table next to her.

On the 'plus' side - I contacted VaporTek (where we bought it) and within an hour got a reply to send it back for a replacement.

We've lost 2legs a bit to the temp forum.

Yeah - its like he forgot his roots and doesn't come back to report in. But I still love 'em.

Welcome to the front porch nicnac. We supposed to stay on topic here about vaping and vape gear. We also have a back porch for just hanging about talking 'bout vaping and anything else that comes up.

Just watch out for the cushions there - some of them are reportedly loaded...

Well I just got an email from Mt Baker. It seems Louisiana is trying to put in place a $.05/mL tax on eLiquid.

Glad you came to the Porch, nicnac. I haven't been here for very long, myself.

If you like the Tugboat, Flawless has the V1 for sale on their site for $35.00. They are regularly $89.99. Mine is a clone and I'm really just learning to build and wick.
