Older Folks and Vaping

[kariM]

I did pass a HUGE hurdle the other day. Took a trip to the casino and survived 6 hours just vaping. Good sign for me and after that I really do believe I'm done with burning.

WallyO that is great and I am really glad to hear that you made it thru the casino test. Not a big deal here - since our local casino is non-smoking and I usually only go once or twice a year. Did fine on New Years Eve.

However, I am off to Vegas in 25 days - with my two best friends, both of them smokers, including the one with COPD that won't give vaping a try. So I know that is going to be my really "big" test. I am really hoping that I will be able to make it with just vaping. As of right now I am very hopefull - since I have been around both of them when they are smoking and I really have no desire to join them.

I just vape away - and that is what I am really hoping I can do in Vegas.

That's correct but I was getting much better nic absorption with the gum and lozenge
than I do vaping, and I'm not sure why. I get my fix but it's not as quick as the gum
and it takes a high amount of nic.

Hey their OC. Been reading along with you re: getting enough nic. When I smoked i didn't like exhaling through my nose. But when I started vapin' I read that the nic absorption works better the longer it's 'internal' to ya and exhaling through your nose helps w/ that. So for the 1st number of months that's what I did.

Vegas will be the supreme test Kari. I wish you all the best. It can be done. Stay focused on you.
We actually drive 75 miles to a Michigan casino because they still allow smoking. We have 6 others within 30 miles but all non-smoking.
If you use VV or VW devices I usually crank them up to just shy of burning flavors in moments of temptation. After a bit I just dial em back down again.

Another good tip Mike. I inhale and exhale through the nose 80% of the time. Well not inhaling with the PV in my nose but I think you all know what I mean. Get a mouthfull and then inhale through the nose. That made a huge difference for me too as well as making some flavors that much better.

Ah Kari, good for you! I bet you're going to be fine in Vegas if you're doing OK around smokers already. It will be a good test. Even if you do slip, you've still greatly lowered the harm by not smoking like you used to. Just vape away when you have the urge for a smoke. You'll set a good example for your friends because they'll get used to seeing you vape and hopefully will eventually feel comfortable enough to give it a try. Hope you have a good trip.

I get to go shopping today and need some help.

I need an eGo starter kit with clearomizers and preferably 2 batteries - a friend wants to make the switch

I also need to upgrade the batteries for me and my wife, we want the 1000mah twists

How do I find the best deals/discounts?

Virgin has a nice array of starter kits. Sent my one neighbor there to get one. She also has the twists at one of the best prices I've seen. Good prices too on the kits.

Thank you both. I took Old Curmudgeon's advice and looked at the forum suppliers, found a GREAT deal at High Desert Vapes, researched their reviews and placed the order.

They have the 1100mah eGo Twist for $19.99 and a nice little eGo 1100mah CE4 Kit for $36.99. After shipping costs I still and WAY under $100

That's a great deal! Thanks for sharing. I have an order coming from them and didn't check out their batt or kit prices.

I knew what you meant....but couldn't help picturing something like this...

Anybody tried the Vision Nano or the Innokin dual coil clearo? Just wondering what your thoughts were.

 

[Constance Shutts]

I have a vision Nano. Bought it to use on an old Titan 510. Well so much for that, the Titan Battery died, so alternating it now on the ego batteries. It's ok so far, doesn't gurgle, doesn't leak. Could be a useful one for testing juices if you can catch it on sale

I caught a sale at Sweet-vapes and since she ships fast and has low shipping costs, I got the Nano, a T3 + Extra guts, more Vivi heads and a Vision V3 and extra heads, and the top and replacement tube for the ViVi. I had an extra bottom for the Vivi and ended up with one more of those.LOL The Nano is still $2.99 each.

You said doesn't gurgle... Other than gurgle being a funny word, what causes it? My wife's first clearo gurgled like she was vaping under water and I have one that gurgles sometimes...

It usually means there is liquid in the center tube. Unscrew it from the battery and blow it out. Check your battery too because you could have some liquid leaked on it.

PS: Gurgle really is a funny word.

Thanks Connie! That's a buck cheaper than what I paid.

I think I'll stick with the CE3s for now, since I prefer being able to use a regular drip tip. Good to know about the Nanos though.

 

[Constance Shutts]

What that's what they do "gurgle" when there is liquid in the center tube I have an EGO DCT and that little rascal is famous for getting liquid in the center tube. Then you have to rid it of the liquid, mop out the battery..bleh!

 

[Constance Shutts]

Virgin Vapor has the mini vivi nova for $8.99, comes with the 3 heads Not a bad price for it.
