hello and welcome to the show
Welcome and glad you joined.Hi, all! I quit smoking cigs about 25 yrs ago, and about 20 yrs ago I started smoking a pipe... but just puffing, not inhaling. I do accidentally inhale about once a month and it feels like there's a very small person hanging out in my lungs kicking to get out! So, I avoid doing that when possible... . My wife, who has always hated the smell of my tobacco, even while she was smoking cigarettes, quit about 6 months ago by getting into vaping. She's been bugging me to try ever since, and last week I finally relented. She gave me a starter Kanger eSmart kit along with various miscellaneous e-liquids she's been trying, and I haven't touched a pipe since! She recommended I get on this site, so, here I am! I'm enjoying reading the articles, and look forward to learning the technology. It kind of reminds me of when I first started in computers around 1979 with a TRS-80. Great fun learning! So, anyhow, greetings!
I'm finding that out! I started vaping about a week ago and I haven't touched a pipe since!Hello and Welcome to ecf i smoked a pipe cigarettes and cigars for over 40 years and had no problem switching to vapeing i have been tobacco free all most 4 years now

Welcome to the forum! You'll want to look into "MTL" (mouth-to-lung) atomizers for any future purchases or upgrades. MTL is a bit of a misnomer, since you don't have to inhale at all, but provides a nice, tight draw you can hold in your mouth (and still get a great nic fix if that's your goal). DL/DTL or direct-to-lung devices are more common, but won't allow that style of vaping and essentially must be taken into the lungs.
I've always kind of likened rebuildable atomizer and/or mechanical mod users as the pipe smokers of the vaping world. I'll be curious to see if that particular rabbit hole ends up luring you in.
I was a pipe smoker once upon a time. Vape lore can be just as deep and complicated as tobacco pipe lore if you want it to be. Read and read and read some more and ask questions and keep your money in your pocket.I'm thinking that I might have a lot to learn!
LOL. and they cost about the same as regular pipes, too!Great story. If you really want to get excited, start looking around at custom pipes. You’ll be in heaven. I was going to buy one just to look at it, lol.
Thanks for the tip, Terry!I liked a pipe but now I vape.
Look at Halo Black Calico juice.
thanks, Anna. I'll say one thing about vaporizers vs pipes... You don't have to go looking for a match!Hi, and welcome to ECF. If you are looking for good tobaccos, definitely check out both the DIY and purchasing e-juice NET threads, they are made from tobacco and have more of a realistic tobacco taste (though sometimes other flavors are added on top). I believe it's hard to find an NET DIY concentrate, though, so if you are interested in true tobacco flavors it's a bit more of a process, but I'd definitely read up on both those threads. You can get tobacco flavorings, I'm just not sure about NETs. If you make your own NETs there is a lengthy steeping and then removing gunk process, so it takes longer than some other ejuices.
But, congrats on quitting smoking and following in your wife's footsteps, I wish my husband would follow in mine!! The problem is, I don't hate tobacco smoke, so I don't nag. Maybe I need to develop a "hysterical" syndrome where the smell of tobacco makes me nag, LOL.

...So much to learn! Thanks for the links!Welcome and glad you joined.
Vaping is so scalable, it takes quite a bit of time to find your sweet spot. I think you find vaping greatly exceeds smoking (esp. pipes). The information below, is a start which may help your knowledge base.

Listen to my spouse!??? NEVER! Oh. Wait. I just did.Hello and welcome to ECF. Sometimes it pays to listen to our spouse. Good move. You also might want to look at some of the pipes available for vaping.

If you like the feeling of a pipe in your hand there is a good selection to be found. I use these mostly when I'm at my desk or in the truck. There are also some decent regulated epipes that are great to start with to see if it fits your style.

lots of containers with brown fluid and scattered tobacco flakes on your work surface?Welcome to the forum, I was a pipe smoker and switched to the vaporizer. I get into making my own E liquids, I stay with the tobacco flavors adding different tobaccos together and adding other flavors to the mixture for taste. Tanks are all RBA's with Stainless Steel Claptons for flavor. Actually kind of a hobby.
