I hear you. I have one friend who quit just fine with it, but shortly after she was done taking it she started smoking again. Another friend was on it and stopped when he thought about killing himself!! When Mike asked his doc about it he told him NO WAY! If vaping hadn't come along I would definitely still be smoking. For me it's the activity as much as the nic.

I saw that, but ignored it because I'm used to it... Hope you didn't hurt yourself Char.
Thanks Fran! You know you had a stake in it too with your kindness and generosity! I still use the flavors you sent me. You helped turn me into a DIY maniac! And that's enabled me not only accrue amazing savings but to acquire a hobby I really enjoy that takes vaping to a whole new level for me! ((((((HUGS)))))))
Congrats on ordering and jumping in here with us NatashaR, and WELCOME!!!
We have a lot of fun here. It's like a family
Thank you both for the warm welcome. I shall be back!

Rut roh, who's dat poundin' on da door...
Anyone see njoy Super Bowl ad? Can't decide if I'm happy as I'm sure it's making the fda squeamish and I know it will help vaping become more mainstream or if I should be worried this could come back to hurt vapers. Any thoughts?
((((((Kat)))))))))))) thanks so much hun!! It's so great to be back too. I missed everyone so much, and don't you worry bout that at all. I got so many wonderful wb's, didn't even think about who had or hadn't, never crossed my mind. Was too glad to be back.

Hoping that vaping w/ help me quickly stop smoking, as I do NOT want to smoke anymore. I do at least now have hope!
Congrats to those who have quit!
Natasha, WELCOME!! So glad you decided to join this amazing group of folks!
Let us know when your order comes in! There's something about getting vapemail that still excites me even though I've been vaping quite awhile now!
I really really think I want one of these! Looked at the video the other day, and again tonight and yes, I really want one!
Thing is, I just received my nic order from them the other day, and had I thought about it, would have included it. Too focused on getting my nic quota in!
A bit concerned about the unprotected 18650 battery though!

Gracie right now I'm using the panny kind in mine, although I've never had a problem with the Joyetech battery that comes with it. I thorough love the Ego-T Mod! And now they even make a short 18350 tube and I love that too - in that one I use an Efest IMR 800 mah and get about 4 hours vaping time per charge.
Edit: Oh and one more thing you might want to consider before ordering one (if you do) is that Joye just came out with a new control unit, which as far as I know would not come with the one from MFS. To me the look and the button are nicer.

Hope the link works, been having trouble lately.

I use the AW IMR battery with that Mod - instead of the battery that MFS is selling with it...

Don't know that we've ever had someone stop in who is not already vaping. Good move! Lots of good information here and friendly folks happy to share the journey. So, what did you order? Now you get to stalk the mailbox in anticipation of new toys!
MikeE3, speaking of pipe tobacco..here's the pipe for it
Pipe | Electronic Pipe | E Pipe Kits from The Electronic Cigarette Company
That is a nice looking setup. I'm not really a pipe vapor but I do have one of these I pick up occasionally. I use it with an auto e-Go batt. Tex turned me on to it, an I think it was under $20.

WHOA, watta dream! Is dere a football game today? Gotta lower my nic...

And just what is the new ingredient you'v added to your DIY juice?
As some may remember, I decided a while back to restrict myself to posting here only, thus leaving my post count at exactly 1000 .. I had various reasons for this, but mainly I was so tired of reading the same old crap thread after thread on posters advancing their own agendas on gov conspiracies, FDA conspiracies, BP, BT .. etc etc etc ..
So, after the first of the year .. New Year and all that .. I decided to put on the big boy shoes and venture out onto other threads .. for one reason, since I'm riding down the road of DIY thanks to some on here I figured rather than keep bugging you guys, I could bug others ..
ECF continues to be the epicenter of the conspiracy theory crowd, IMO .. and it's just grown to the point of ridiculesness .. Some of the threads I have read become offensive as it relates to this great Country we share .. to the point bordering on Communism or straight up anarchy .. and the proliferation of twisted / plain bad / spun to fit misinformation is rampant ..
Sorry for the brain dump .. my fingers took over ..

Uh your fingers lead you wrong Uncle Willie, this is the old folks thread that does count.
It's all good. Sometimes you just have to vent. Fools often don't listen to the voice of reason because their mind is already made up. I make my opinions known by voting, writing my representatives and senators. And, yes, I sign worthy petitions. A few times I have even gone to my statehouse and spoke at hearings.
Since you're starting diy, a lot of us are over in the diy forum as well. You'll get more info for your diy and a variety of good techniques and advice. And we like it when you bug us.
