Older Folks and Vaping

[Ken_A]

Got my smok Magnet Natural in now!
Love working from home...
The switch is firm and works very well. You can switch out the tubes to fit you most common batteries..but.
The threading is really scratchy. And there is a bur on one of the sections.
Not the best built device IMO, but I did only pay $50 for it. It looks really nice, but the "beauty ring" ... Well isn't.





It works very well and looks nice, so this is going to be a good backup if they try to regulate battery tubes in the future

Edit: forgot to mention that the switch is epoxied on with some sort of silicone

That is my kind of vaping! I just never got into the fiddling! Maybe I simply got spoiled when 'Peaches' and I started almost 5 years ago with putting a carto on a battery and vaping. Simple, fast and effective & most importantly, satisfying.
That chicken soup is mighty welcome these cold days, eh?!





Thanks Ken, I am now following her......she sure is a sweet lady!


A warm welcome to all the newcomers!

I'm with you on the fiddling. The simpler the better for me. I don't even dryburn my coils anymore. The heads are so cheap in the co-ops I just replace them when they gunk up. I vape menthol which doesn't gunk them very quick so I usually get a week or two out of each coil head at 50 cents to 1.00 ea. works for me. I've been primarily using the iTaste VV3 with a glass ego Aspire and they are both very simple and efficient. I never have to take the Aspire off the vv3 for charging, refilling or replacing the head which saves on the threads. I really like charging system on the VV3 too just plug in the micro usb connector and it charges in about 1 1/2 hours. I use it in VW mode so I just leave it at 7 watts. It doesn't get any simpler for me then that!

I would have to say define fiddling

Reo is fill a bottle and screw it on.

You can use a standard dripping atty if you do not want to muck with coils BUT I wrap one coil in my RM2 and it lasts me months. Pulling the top off yanking the cotton, dry burning, rinsing and inserting new cotton is less than a 5 minute process on the rare occasion I need to do it.

With my clearos it was more fiddly to me. Ooooops tank is below 1/3 its gurgling. Oooooops temp changed it's leaking. Oooooops coil is getting nasty. I fiddled more with clearos than I do my RM2. LOL

Fiddling is out for me. Like tx,I like simple.

Hi All! Hope everyone had a great holiday week! I had an unexpected (expensive) guest for a week and am just now getting things back together. Missed being on the forum.

But it's 27 days now without a smoke and my guest smoked! But I got thru it and I'm so happy I didn't let that put a glitch in my stride.

Hope everyone is well and wishing all a Happy New Year.

Hey, Deb, and welcome back! HUGE CONGRATS on making it through the cigarette exposure without falling in! Did his smoke STINK to you? When I walk through a smoky area now, it doesn't smell awful but it doesn't smell good, either. Don't want none of it

Happy New Year to you too!

WB Deb and WELL DONE!

Now you know beyond a shadow of a doubt you can do this. These challenges just make us stronger. I am SO proud of you.

 

[Myrany]

Just an update. Still no word from LL on my account and so far the walls of the house are in one piece. Still vaping like a fiend with nic. It is gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend.

Pushing the like button on that post just seems wrong sooooo here's a (((hug))) to get you through the rest of the weekend

ncpatches- That's GREAT you made it through your smoking friends visit without a glitch Welcome back to the front porch

Happy New Year to you too!

Seriously, I couldn't smell it. Only after he smoked in the bathroom (god I hate that!!) In the living room, just a few feet away, I could smell nothing. But then again, I have 21 ft ceilings, that may have helped.

I really think that my sense of smell and taste just hasn't come back yet. But you would think, in such close quarters I would have noticed. A few weeks ago, I smelled a guy smoking 15 feet away, outside, but didn't smell it in my apt. No clue!

Thanks so much! I have no doubt that I can stay off the sticks.

Good for you Deb - way to go.

Oh no Myrany - hang in there - vent on/with us if needed.

 

[Janet H]

Ah Deb, I'm so happy for you! You must be very proud of yourself and you should be!!

I don't remember how long it was before my smeller woke up, but when it did it was astonishing how bad I thought the smell of smoke is to me. I can't even stand the smell of some of the tobacco juice Mike has used. I'm not sure I like how well I'm smelling these days because I can smell cigarette smoke on a passing car! You might be right about your high ceilings though, could be the smell went up with the warmer air. Don't go upstairs...

 

[Janet H]

Hang in there Myrany. Monday is coming!! You're doing great, I'm very impressed! Keep us posted.

 

[Iffy]

Deb, way to go!


Torey, if ya do punch a wall, make sure it's an interior one considering your weather now!


OK, since yesterday was my first day to match my IQ (67), I really got da itch to order one of THESE to celebrate. Gotta luv a fillerless carto with adjustable joose flow/feed!

Go ahead and talk me outta it... <hard to wait fer a clone, even if it'll only be a couple o' weeks>

I've been tempted by one of those though I think I might give the Diver a try instead for a first shot at it. Just a smaller up front cost.

 

[Ken_A]

Not really a carto... It's an atomizer with a carto profile. I have a diver and am very happy with it. The Sopheia seems to be a very good one!

For me
VAPEMAIL
I was running out of sweet tart juice. I went to make more, and no flavoring left!!!
Went to TFA and they were closed for the holidays.
Darnit.
Went to wizard labs, but just couldn't justify getting just one flavor
So today, I got in the mail
Sweet and tart
Mint candy
Teaberry
Huckleberry
Citrus Punch

All flavorings.
Never had the last two, but they sounded interesting, so....


And i I was hoarding my last .3 ml of sweet tart juice, only having a couple of puffs a day. Started at .5, so I'm glad to make more!!

After watching Todd and Pete's reviews on both, I'm pretty much persuaded to go with da Sophia. Besides, what normal male can resist...

Ken, glad ya got your stuff in! Have fun with your new flavs.
