This is going to sound SO wrong and probably get me banned..but... blow or suck? And inside vent right by the dryer, or the one with cover outside?
I disconnect the hose behind the dryer and blow from there, from the inside of the house to the out, all the bird nest shoot out in the yard and electric leaf blower is what we use.

Unless this topic moves over to the lounge, I'll just pretend I didn't see nuttin'.

Good job keepin us focused Mike, it's so easy to forget which thread we're on. Welcome to all the newcomers!! Glad to have ya here and congrats on kickin or trying to kick the stinkies!! For any who don't know about it, our social thread where we can talk about anything we want is here. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lounge/289745-older-people-55-up.html This thread we have to make sure we talk mostly about vaping stuff, or it will get moved to another part of the forum and may not be as easy to find for newcomers.

The end of the month better get here quick. Out of stock everywhere I want to order stuff...

I hear ya on that one! Is the Chinese holiday over by the end of this month?

Ummm, that's not good. I haven't bought anything except those 2 EVODS. Are you talking nic or what?

Lots of stuff due to the chinese holiday.

I disconnect the hose behind the dryer and blow from there, from the inside of the house to the out, all the bird nest shoot out in the yard and electric leaf blower is what we use.

I am an older folk and have just stumbled in to the whole vaping adventure... and into this thread @ page 1054. Forgive me if I haven't read everything up to this very point... if I'd tried to do that, I'd have been a much older folk by the time I got done!

I smoked for 35+ years before an illness forced me to quit a little over 2 years ago. I still struggle with feeling like I ought to be doing something with my hands and the seemingly constant need to munch on something. It's my hope that vaping will give me some relief from these issues. I ordered my first vaping supplies last night and am looking forward to trying them out!

So hello and please, don't let me interrupt any further. I'll sit in the back quietly til I've figured out what's going on. :)

best,
Deb

Welcome to the world of vaping Debi. Please! You're not interrupting anything. We're all here to help each other. There are so many choices out there and it's easy to get overwhelmed or confused. I'm confused a lot!! But the good people on this thread are more than happy to help. ECF is chock full of information so it's good that you found us.

I smoked for close to 50 years and quit the day my first eCig showed up. It was an accident because I thought it was just going to help me reduce my PAD habit. IMHO the activity of vaping is a tremendous help to hold off the desire to pick up a ciggie. Some people like to fuss with gadgets like my hubby, but I like the simpler methods and vaping lets you be as complicated or simple as you want. What kind of vaping supplies did you order?

lol madeuce and welcome.

Debi, +1 on what Janet said! You are not interrupting at all, jump right in. Lots of great knowledgeable folks here that can help you figure out the vaping so feel free to ask any questions you might have. I'm not one of those knowledgeable folks (for instance, that don't look right so I think I've forgotten how to spell knowledgeable??) lol but I'm fun. lol

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I have been reading posts @ECF for three days now, and the overall tone is wonderfully kind and helpful... and funny! What a find you all are!

I've made three orders in the last couple of days. First, I ordered a ZMax kit from Varitube. That kit included the tube, clearo, batteries and charger. So, obviously, I needed some juice so a visit to Vaporbomb followed where I chose five 10 ml servings of yummy sounding liquids: shade mentol, butter pecan ice cream, cafe mocha, chocolate & orange cream soda.

Last night I decided I probably needed some "backup" stuff so I went to Hoosier Cigs and ordered a pyrex tank and 5 spare cartos, 2 needle-tip filler bottles, a jazzy stainless steel drip tip, a spare 18650 IMR battery and 10 ml of double mint juice.

I'm in the midwest where I've taken a day off because it's snowing at the rate of 2" an hour this morning. How I wish I'd placed those orders a few days earlier! Here's hoping you're all safe and warm, wherever you are!

No! No! No! No, you are not interrupting and no, don't sit back quietly we're glad to have you here sharing your journey and asking questions.

Since I'm one of the "older folks" I decided to purchase an e-pipe for the more "sophisticated" look. :vapor:

ah, like this?

Oh wow, sounds like you have plenty to last ya awhile when it all gets there. Hope y'all don't get snowed in. I'm in Tx so we rarely see that stuff. It's been cold and rainy here though, yuck! I have severe cold sensitivities, so anything below 70 is freezin to me! Y'all ignore me if I sound like an idiot this morning or don't catch horrible typos, I haven't slept yet, so it doesn't even feel like my brain is still connected to my spinal cord at this point. lol

lol Mike. And top o the mornin to you and Janet!

Oh, Debi, I meant to tell ya that I tried quite a few juices from vaporbomb when I first started vaping cuz I was lucky enough to win a $50.00 GC from them. I really like the quality of their juice. Everyone is different of course, and now I've learned that I'm very partial to fruity juices, but if you think you'd like those at all........try their strawberry pie. It doesn't say anything about having whipped cream in it, and I even asked em, and they didn't intend that, but I swear it tastes like fresh whipped cream on it. For a long time that was hands down my favorite juice! Now I only buy juice from gotvapes since that's the only one I've found that I can vape at the 24 mg nic I need and it doesn't taste peppery. Can't stand black pepper.

According to the USPS my Boge Cartos were delivered on Monday.

Umm, no they weren't.:(

lol too funny. Were they delivered yesterday, or are they MIA?

ETA: I haven't slept yet, so my brain thinks that it's still Wednesday, so "yesterday" was Tuesday lol Hope ya did get them on a day that they actually delivered mail.

Ran by Stripes (a chain convenience store in this part of the world) to grab a coke yesterday. When I was checking out, what did I spy next to the register but a display of Njoyes. This would not have startled me most places, but I live in a teensy town way out from anything like a city. Seems vaping is everywhere these days and that's a great thing, imo! It just made me happy all over for some reason to see that so wanted to share it with you.

Sounds like USPS is a efficient at Canada Post. My package of nic and flavors that finally showed up way down east in Ottawa - still shows in transit as of Feb 21 with and expected delivery date of Feb 15th. I don't know what is worse - being told that your package has already been delivered or that it will be delivered 6 days ago :blink: I sure hope both our packages show up soon :(

I will be 59 in May and have smoked cigs since I was very young. I did some research on my first purchase which arrived on Feb. 14th. Unfortunately my research was all about cig-a-likes and I didn't know that anything else even existed.

I ended up getting Prosmoke e-cigs. Was very happy when I finally got them, but became disappointed quickly. Lots of vapor but no TH. So I ended up searching for something else and ended up placing an order for something on the 19th of Feb. I got a 510 eGo Redux Clearomizer kit. I can't actually recommend it yet because it hasn't got here. But if you're interested in what it is, go to: 510 eGo Redux Clearomizer Kit - Neon Vapors

From what little knowledge I have, I think it's a good kit for my next step. I've smoked for many years and even with the Prosmoke brand I got off of real cigs almost immediately.

Thanks for starting this thread :)

Welcome Deb,

Ditto what Mike said.....

I smoked for 47 years and it was a happy day when I snuffed my last cigarette in that ashtray. I was fortunate that as soon as I took my first vape, cigarettes where history. I was more than ready! Haven't had one in almost 4 years.

Oh, I just love it when I see a display of ecigs in any store. It just puts a smile on my face.



On another note, just for the fun of it I placed a small non-nic order with WL yesterday just to see how quickly they would ship! They are OOS on so many items!

I was beginning to have my doubts that they were open at all! LOL
Got a shipping notice this morning, but it was a small order, and of course, when it arrives, I'll let ya know.

I have about 9 items coming including a couple 20ml syringes and some more blunt tips and a few flavorings.

I think it was Iffy or Janet who suggested the 20ml syringe!!
