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.



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'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! :thumbs:
Paying for shipping doesn't seem right.... A couple of mine are coming farther and I didn't have to pay...different vendor but still

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 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.
Zippo, I'm so sorry. Both of my parents were heavy chain smokers, and I always wonder how much tobacco contributed to their poor health. My husband lost his mom after a biopsy for lung cancer, they had told her one small spot they wanted to look at, and the next day, she passed at home unexpectedly. I've dodged the bullet so far, and want to hedge my bets whilei still can!!!

the first micro surgery didn't take so They had to go back in to reshape the disc and bone, the next one is a trial for a spinal cord stimulator (implanted TENS unit), which is intended to mask the pain going down my legs. I myself was a bit of a workaholic as well, I was accustomed to 70 and 80 hour weeks, atm I can't work so its been tough... they make no guarantees..

I can not like this post. I'm so sorry you have gone through all that. I'm gonna fight tooth and nail not to have a surgery. Although I've done all of the others I think. Shots,therapy all that kind of stuff.

That does not seem right.

My deepest condolences and I'm so happy you're here with us. :)

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

I took a gander at GG's site and looke up the Esterigon again, it does say it can fit any 18xxx batteries, there may be hope for me after all!

It's funny, the thread was a mixed bag of sour attitude of missing out and confusion and negativity here and there with sprinkles of congratulatory remarks that morphed into a haven of kindness, sharing and goodwill.

I'm sounding like an echo chamber here but seriously, this may be the best forum out there in regard to tolerance and good vibes. I was brought to tears earlier to be honest, not ashamed to admit it.

Yeah I cry during movies, big woop wanna fight about it? :pop:

I'm not sure about the TOS regarding talking about things like that but maybe the message relayed to me was lost in translation but I assumed I wouldn't have to do anything but provide shipping info to get the item to me or I would have picked something from a US vendor. I think there may have just been some confusion in the process (I hope.)

Utsuru wished I still had my paypal account, but lost it when I got to where I couldn't work and my financial problems caused me to lose it. I would send you the funds for shipping. If you have enough time I could mail you a check.

I don't know what it is but this made me shed a tear. You just came out of nowhere and offered something for no reason other than you're a good person. Why can't the world and more inportantly our political leaders share the same kindness and values? You're awesome.

That does not seem right.

Thanks I'll do that :)

I'm enjoying going through and reading everyone's stories. Seems like quite a few of you are newer vapers, so a huge congrats on making the switch! :toast::vapor:

Cheers! :toast:



Edit: what a crazy night.

Joined in January...have spent hours and hours and hours...just reading, liking a post here and there, and someone told me to jump on the contest thread to meet some great people, learn a lot, and maybe winning something really cool. I was on that thread for 12 hours, and had the BEST time! Someone offered to send me a bottle of juice to try because I made a comment in response to another comment about bacon...lol....I had someone else ask about the charms I've made for my puffer, and I am honestly having a blast watch everyone win!
