Prize winners announcement thread!

[Zippo3]

Congrats to all the winners, and being new to the site, I have to say this is the best and most helpful site I've ever been a part of. People helping others is such a wonderful thing, hope this site stays this way, I have been a member of a lot of sites of various types, but none of them compare to this one. At other sites it was usually if you needed help, it would be I'll sell you what you need to help out, this place blows my mind, and proud to say I belong to such a place. Wish I could offer some help here but being new, I have very little info to offer and no items to offer for help, all I have is just my little device that helped me to get started down the road of no cancer sticks. Right now I'm trying to be a sponge and learn all I can absorb with my used up old noodle they call a brain. Which is difficult when you have ADHD and taking 90mg's a day morphine and 4mg's a day of xanax due to deteriorating arthritis in my back and arthritis in every joint in my body. So I also understand the others here with the disability problems, I have been unable to work for 5 years after working 60 + hours a week as a mechanic on the job plus working every waking hour I was at home. I'm also having trouble getting help. The quacks I mean Dr's tell me that there is no surgery that will help me. But so far between friends, and faith in the higher power, I'm managing to make it one day at a time. Sorry for the long post but just trying to let everyone know how I feel about this wonderful site, and I understand what some of the other members are enduring, I feel for them, and hope they can get everything worked out for themselves.

The Nauti Mini will be GRAND on that. Because there's no "regulation" you'll start your vape at about 4.1V Means you'll be drawing less than 3A which is a very modest draw. As your battery depletes its charge, you'll notice the vape get a little weaker. That will be a sign to consider recharging the battery.

Just be aware of "locking" the mod when you're not using it. Not to be scary, just making you aware. I'm kinda paranoid with my mech, and I lock it pretty much every time I set it down.

It looks like it takes 18490 batteries, but you can get various tubes (hopefully already provided) to use either 18350s or 18650s. Battery prices Lessifer and I mentioned are for 18650s

Yeah the more I read into the Esterigon the more simple and less fear-inducing it becomes. I just watched the 40 minute video on the prototype and the locking mechanism is brilliant. Not scary at all.

Congrats on your milestone! 5 month anniversary for me today....enjoy your prize, looks like the wonderful ppl her are jumping in to help!

Thank you! My breathing has been better this past week than maybe 5+ years ago, been smoking since I was 16, am now 28 years old. So glad to have quit when I did, I'm already in the process of (trying to) lower nicotine.

I looked up that mod and it said it can take the 18650 with the longer tube but I don't know if you are getting that or not. Anyway, my offer stands good if you need what I have. I've just never had a mod that takes 18500 batteries.

I'm not too sure if it comes with a different tube or not, probably not but wishful thinking never hurts. I just don't know how I'm going to get the thing to my doorstep, I live in Arkansas and it's coming from across the Atlantic, I wasn't aware I was going to have to pay shipping, I don't think I can afford to get that thing over to me right now.

I'm definitely going to be getting in touch with you though as every tiny little bit helps me so incredibly much it would be hard for a lot of people to understand, I have had a lot of financial burden the past two years.


I've been a part of a lot of forums in my time, probably hopped on my first one in 1998. Never, ever have a seen such an absolutely wonderful, supportive community. It seriously doesn't seem like a regular message board, it really feels like something different. Like, we're all just so happy to be off tobacco and have one more day of fresh air that just makes people so supportive, giving and kind.

I truly cannot express my gratitude to finding this place and I greatly look forward to chatting with you all in the months and years to come.

Can you taste that fresh air? I can, finally!

Fill a tank and get comfy! I have my favorite 1300 mah binky I puff away on...lol...no fancy gear, but for kow it does the trick! Whatever works, right??? Just reading through some of the forums and seeing people's reviews and opinions has been so helpful to me, and they truly are the best people here!

I started at 16, too. Smoked for 36 years, tried everything with no luck. Quit in one day with a little old Kanger eVod.....lmaooooooo...who knew????

 

[Zippo3]

congrats on quitting especially at a young age, I started smoking at the age of 14 and I'm now 51 and this Saturday will be my 1 month mark. Yes it does feel good to be able to wake up in the morning without coughing up a lung, and be able to walk around the yard and not even start breathing hard.

 

[Zippo3]

I started with a Vapin Plus rig from a gas station, now I have a MVP 20W with a kanger T3S. Gave my Vapin Plus rig to my son to try to help him quit

My son got me mine...lol...and when he saw me quit analogs, he quit, too, and rewarded himself with a zombie Provari....lol....

Could anyone put up a separate message somewhere where it could be found easily without having to wade through 64 pages.

You shared exactly what I was trying to say exactly when I was typing it. Same boat, my friend.

Congrats! Almost the same with me, filled up my little iclear 30 as soon ad I got it out of the mail, took a little toooot toooot, no cigs since. I get a craving here and there but that's just the poison talking.

Pre-congatulations to you, that must definitely be difficult after such a long time, let's take this time to appreciate how we found this safer alternative and are adding valuable seconds to our lives. Yes, seconds.

Ever been tired and have to get up early? Of course. That alarm buzzes and you hit snooze thinking "just a little longer."

I don't want similar regrets in my end-time. Sorry for turning dark but that has been a central theme running through my head that has helped me quit, perhaps if others think of it in a similar way it will help them achieve their goals as well.

Bless you beautiful people.

I couldn't last past 2:30am


Which tank are you hoping for, LoLo ??

I would like adjustable air flow. I need it for a 30W VIP. Don't really know what I can use on it. Still new to this. Any ideas what I would need?

Hi Utsuru and congratulations, I think?

Mechanical mods are just holders for 3.7v batteries--some are fancy, like the one you just won, others not so much. The battery inside is just a battery--its output is not regulated, so it starts at 4.2v off the charger, then quickly goes down to 3.7v, and then turns off at 3.2v (or thereabouts). We all started with unregulated batteries in our early cigalikes (KR808) and we all lived. Owning a mechanical mod is not a bad thing, considering the approaching deeming regulations by the FDA. But, of course, you'll have to spend some money on a charger, batteries, atc.

Every mechanical mod can be converted into a regulated mod by a simple addition of "The Kick." The Kick can be had for 50 bucks if you buy an original or for 7 bucks if you buy a clone. More money...

Evolv LLC - Kick Instructions

Having said that, if you feel that you're in over your head and would prefer a simpler beginner's device, I agree with Lessifer--become a verified member and offer your prize for trade or sale. No shame in that--if you're intimidated by the device, let someone else enjoy it. Imeo's mods are great and I'm sure you'll find someone who'll be interested. However, that will take time and the results are not guaranteed. What are you using now? Do you have a mod/PV that you like?

 

[redrebel821]

Here's a dumb question...how do we get verified??.

 

[LoLoThatIsMe123]

And how often do you have to put your .... on the charger?

I started by saying "let's see if I can get past one day".... Then it was "that was so easy, let's try for another".... Then it was trying for a week....then it was " I'm a non-smoker".... Ifi can do this, anyone can...lol

 

[LoLoThatIsMe123]

My SCS was the best thing I have done in a long time. It hasn't taken the pain away but it helps a lot. Kind of like sitting in a tub with jets on. You can adjust it how every like it with remote. I still have to take meds but not as much as I was taking. Any more questions feel free to ask.

 

[Zippo3]

my wake up call was Sept 27 2013, I was holding my moms hands when she drew her last breath due to lung cancer. I started trying to quit that day, went thru several things even meds trying, but had no success till I got my first vaping rig, I smoked 2PAD Seneca filter less cigs, started at 24mg nic level, right now I am vaping 50/50 8mg nic juice unflavored, hope to step down again real soon.

I looked up that mod and it said it can take the 18650 with the longer tube but I don't know if you are getting that or not. Anyway, my offer stands good if you need what I have. I've just never had a mod that takes 18500 batteries.

Usually s mod like that will come with 3 tubes to fit all the 18xxx sized batteries, so no worries, you will in all likely hood be able to run 18650s
