Oh, you had to tell me they are on sale. My wife would shoot me. Let's see - piss off the wife or no new pipe (hmmm). First, I have to check just to see how comfortable my couch is - just in case (LOL)...

I found the new thread...Hope you all are doing well and having a good weekend.
I was concerned that the one button on the ProVari would be confusing to use but I've found it's very straight forward, although I do have to push the button a lot to change anything. That Lambo looks nice but now I will have to buy one, being a part owner of the Green Bay Packers (1 of 1.2 million) I'll have to bring to a game so I can bring my Lambo to Lambeau Field.
Nice job on showing your friends and family the way, I haven't converted anyone yet but I'm looking for candidates. Like you I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up too. I'm looking at Cart Captain at our local WalMart, but I may be aiming too high.
Good to have you here.
Thanks for joining in. You won't be penalized for shooting peas though your nose if the joke is funny enough. Hope to see here again.
Hey Semi good to see you! I had my weigh in this morning and I'm up a bit too. I was behaving myself today until that evil Mrs. Tiny brought home a couple of 1/4 pound Nathan's Hot Dogs for me, I am so weak. I went out and walked a mile for each dog as penance.
Hope your all having a great day!
Glad you found us wendallb! Doing much better now that all the old folks are showing up!
Hi folks, glad you found the new room. If you know any of the old gang be sure to invite them over for a vape.
If I slow down TJ you are going to catch me. When do you turn 71, I'll be 72 in Oct. I keep thinking I'm already 72 as if they don't come around fast enough.

Sorry for the late response. Had to finish watching the Hockey game Fl Panthers -NJ Devils.
Bad weather here in Jacksonville but it is all good. Helped a neighbor laying new sod and that needs a bit water hihi.
That is good to hear. My painting and sanding is what kept us from going down to the Satellite Beach area this weekend and I am glad it did. n9emz said they had some bad weather...
We knew we couldn't hide from an Alien VapRon. Glad you found us!
Nop no hiding allowed. Area 51 will find you!!!
VapRon56 here and as many others started at a jung age.Man been 40 years with those darn sticks. I already gave up hope on the quitting.Had trouble sleeping with that train whistel from my lungs keeping me awake. Then about a year ago on the radio I listen to a guy taking about those e-cig things. Hey why not give it a try. Did everything else so I went for it. I still can not believe to be 8 month smokefree and no desire whatsoever for the sticks. And yes "We Want Our discounts". Hope there are many many more of us young guns who make the switch to enjoy breathing said:

It's the "Iffy". You make #14 to find the new 55+ thread.
I found this in the New Members Forum. It's kind of a long read but the conclusions at the end are interesting.
This is just one study and many more of these are needed, but it was interesting as to what chemicals are found in "e-cigs" and what the authors thought about the attempts to ban them.

Here's a positive for nicotine, I just picked up. I had an session with my 'head doc', last week. He's been interested in my progress with e-cigs. He never heard of them before i showed him my 1st ego 6 months ago. Anyways - I said I hit 6 months w/o a cigarette and now I'm trying to cut down on my nic level. He asked why - I said I wanted to see if I sleep better because I've often heard nicotine can act as a stimulant. His reply was "Mike, I don't tell my smoking clients this because I don't want to give them another excuse to continue smoking - but yes there is a beneficial stimulant effect but more so nicotine can also act as an anti-depressant." So I wasn't crazy for 45 years of smoking - I did feel better after ... but I feel so much better getting my nic fix from vaping. 
TJ, your story still amazes me. How anyone could keep smoking through all that should make no sense, but I do understand why. Glad your with us!

Good to see you're all here!
Looks to me like this group would be a good example to a lot of people. It's so nice to see a problem overcome by people accepting other people. Thank you txtumbleweed for keeping the thread going. I've enjoyed reading almost all of the 329 pages of the first thread. Looks like this one is going just fine.
Looks like I'm part of a pair here. MikeE3 is my husband and he's a very nice person too. He talked about wanting to quit smoking for 2 years, but wasn't doing anything about it but talk. I'd heard about ecigs, but one day I thought why not give it a try. Of course Mike had to research it for about a week and found ecf. So we ordered our first 808 and 510. The day they arrived I was having a smoke on the back deck. I took my first vape and was so shocked at how nice it was! That was Sept. 1, 2011 and I haven't looked back since!! Truly, I accidently stopped smoking. Since then I've helped at least 3 people stop smoking and at least one other is well on her way. They're loving vaping!
I think we're still in the learning phase for most of the public so I don't rock the boat if it's going to upset anyone, but I do find that when I vape in public I often have people ask me about it and find it's a good way to give them some positive info. Get the word out there to help other people. Unfortunately I'm certain the gov't is going to find a way to get in on this by taxing it to death. I hope that doesn't discourage people. I do believe that one day vaping will be freely accepted and that's a good thing.
I'm trying to do my part by only using the terms vaping and pv instead of ecig and smoking. Take the old terminology related to smoking out of the mix and we may have a chance at helping people to let go of their old associations. It is different, it's not smoking. There's a big learning curve to overcome.
Vape on! Enjoy!

Mike I have read that many times over and believe it also... I worked in a high pace high profile type job and walking outside for a smoke was the only way to make it through the day some times. I figured it was habit, but now I know more - thanks for sharing.
I went and visited that office a couple of weeks ago for a different reason - it was the first time I thought about a smoke for a while - I could never go back to work there - I might take up smoking again...
