jako822, WELCOME!!! You are now in heaven.
Doc told me that he will not do the surgery if I am smoking as nicotine inhibits a proper fusion.
This is a great thread and I thank you for getting this started. As a pack a day+ smoker for more than 40 years, I have struggled constantly with quitting and staying quit! I have tried the patches, gum, sheer will power and my son threatening to disown me and not allowing me to see my grandchildren...LOL!! Well, not really, but you get the jist of it. A little over a year ago, I injured myself at work and was diagnosed with 3 herniated discs in my back and 2 in my neck. I am now facing fusion surgery, which involves cutting me through the stomach and through the back to place metal rods in my spine. Doc told me that he will not do the surgery if I am smoking as nicotine inhibits a proper fusion. So, dumbie, why go through all this pain for naught? 44 days ago I came home through away my analogs and picked up my ecig. I have not had a cigarette since and am happily vaping away with minimal cravings a few times a day. I am currently vaping 8 mg nicotine and am on my way to weaning myself off the nicotine before I have surgery in another 3 months. Aside from having a successful fusion, I am also doing myself and my family a great service by hopefully avoiding a death sentence of lung cancer. You see, my Dad died of lung cancer 13 years ago...a horrible death, I might add...and still that was not enough to make me quit. I was nagged constantly about quitting smoking, but each of us has our own limit...that one thing in our life that says "this is it, it's time"...thank God my time came sooner than later. This little device has been my miracle worker and I will be forever grateful. Vape on!!
This reminded me of Gloria..Miss her![]()
Janet H, I ordered 2 Spinners, 2 novas v2.5 and 2 nova minis.
I'm really liking my Kanger T3 bottom coil clearo. This is my 23rd day using it quite a bit everyday. I have had a few wicking problems but not very often. I will be buying more when they become available again probably the end of this week or next before suppliers have any. There is a huge demand for them right now so if you want to try one you should get one when they are available. DV should have them next week sometime. I will post when they are available again.![]()

A bud of mine had a shoulder replacement last year 'bout this time. We got him to 0 nic in ten days. Surgery and recovery was a breeze. He went to 9mg nic post surgery for a few months.
Alas, he is now smoking again...![]()
Ah Iffy, that's a shame your friend didn't stick to vaping.
LOL, I've been using my stick batteries a good bit the last few days. I just picked up a pen and tried to vape it!
I've done worse than that. Dry burning on one while vaping another....................guess which one I put to my mouth

What's ironic is that he went from vaping full time back to smoking full time like some folk go to vaping... one cig at a time!
