In subway stations, though not in the cars.

I can remember one “vacation” where we went to Florida for the Amer Acad. of Cardiology annual meeting. At the final dinner, it was a smoke filled room. It’s vivid in my mind because one of the doctors dropped of a heart attack during the closing speech. A room full of the very people who absolutely knew better since it was the early 70’s! Steak, booze and cigarettes... what healthy fare o_O

    We had a smoking area outside on school grounds in high school for students.

    @hittman - Have you tried the White Coffee again lately? If you have, did it seem to change any more to you?

    It is still a light coffee flavor. I don’t know if it’s because I’m testing other stuff for review but I haven’t been using it much. The sweetness has calmed down some. I mixed it with the 1% sweetener in the original recipe and probably could have left it out or at least cut it in half. I’m going to try a different mix without sweetener and maybe a non sweet cream and a little caramel or something.

    Depending on your nic mg, you might want the WC at a higher %. I vape 7mg, so the 5.5% is fine for me. But I make the DIY for the new guy who's transitioning from smokes to vaping...at 10mg finished nic and with the WC at 7%.

    I used the sweet cream in mine because EF describes the WC as a bold coffee with a touch of Sweet Cream. I wanted more though, since I like my coffee with more cream than I could detect in the WC flavoring. However, I'd think using a different cream would be worth a shot.

    I forgot to mention. Read the reviews, there were one or two where people stated the flavor was a tad lite so they doubled up on the percentages.:)
    I saw that too and it is what made me decide not to order the 10 or so I had put in a cart. I do not need more flavors, especially things that are lite. The dates on all the comments are pretty old too.

    I might as well say I started smoking when I was born. Mom and dad would smoke with the windows up during our long road trips to Tennessee every summer.
    I was born into a cloud of cig smoke too as both my parents smoked at home, with no windows open. They were also big bridge players and so we always had a bridge game going at our house where the other couples smoked. Those little card tables set up, a couple of bowls of nuts, lots of gin and tonic, and many many ashtrays. No one knew the harm of second-hand smoke then.

    I mixed it at my normal 12mg so I may take your advice and increase it.

    I just caught that you bought a liter of the WF Aged Bourbon Cream? Wow, that's a ton.
    What do you do with it? straight?
    I was about to be facetious and ask about it on the rocks, but never mind.
    I have, compared to you, a microscopic bottle and only mixed it with the Lemon Cake.
    Not sure what else to do with it.
    It’s the Real Flavors (not WF) aged bourbon cream bought from Canada. It’s my fav so I decided to stock up. RF and WF are vastly different. WF is all bourbon whereas the RF is unique and hard to explain. It’s addictive to me but some folks don’t care for it. I mix it alone at 10%.

    I almost never use it. I just don’t think of adding it to a recipe
    I have one recipe that I make for a friend monthly. Barney Rubble. One time I was low on Marshmallow and so did not add it and the mix was better, she said, without it. Seems I had some convo with others, might have been on here, regarding Marshmallow and the fact that it mutes. I am planning to make the Cookie Butter today and wondered about just leaving it out.

    I have a similar memory of my parents and uncle and aunt playing cards drinking and chain smoking on weekends. I was young then but wonder now how my uncle was able to drive home that drunk.

    My parents smoked and it would make me so sick in the car and we traveled a lot. I swore I would never do it but started smoking at 16 because of a boy I dated and he smoked. :facepalm: I smoked for 30 years until my aunt rapidly died of lung cancer in 2012 so I found vaping as an alternative.

    I’m sure my parents smoked in the car but it doesn’t stick out in my mind. I vividly remember everyone smoking in the auto parts store that my dad ran. Ash trays on the counter and customers and employees smoking. I would sometimes work for my dad counting inventory.
