I know it's really aggravating to hear all this garbage all the time, but just think of it as an Educational Moment. When someone says something ignorant about vaping, THEY HAVE OPENED THE DOOR, now all you have to do is give them the facts, before they escape! And as tempting as it surely is to do it huffily, if you do it with polite forthrightness, they will be more receptive. You do not have to accept rudeness or ignorance, and you do not need to increase either -- we should be educating everyone who opens their mouth to spew some garbage they "heard on the news" "read online" -- it's our only recourse, and we should use it to the hilt!

Question is it normal to chain vape when you totally stop with the cigs even if you have been Weening yourself off?

I did:D. It was the only way to get through the cravings for me.

I put it down a lot more these days.

I didn't really wean myself off though. I didn't really start vaping intending to quit smoking. But I had only smoked four cigs one day and only when my tiny ego battery was charging. Quit the next day after buying a backup.

I chain vaped pretty much constantly from the time I first found an ejuice I liked, until I had been vaping 2 or 3 months. I had to start at 6mg I was chain vaping so much, but after the cigs were gone, I had to go up a little to 8mg, then to 9mg, and right before my appendix went kerblooie, I was at 9.5mg. Then I had that month-long smoke-break after the appendectomy, and when I started back to full-time vaping, I went up to 10mg, and have pretty much stayed there ever since; it seems to work, and I don't chainvape so constantly.

It's only too much if it makes you feel sick; 18mg and 12mg did that to me, so I went to the lower nic so I could vape as much as I liked, anytime the thought of a cigarette crossed my mind. After a few months, that incessant need eased.

A coworker told me that vaping is stupid because of how costly the gizmos and whatsits can be. This coming from a guy that spens 300 a month on vitamins and energy supplement concoctions. But I guess it is smarter to stuff your body with more than it needs so you can piss out the excess. To be fair, I have thought him a ..... for quite some time but don't feel the need to point it out.

After my mother in law telling me that you catch pneumonia from vaping I looked into it. There have only been 2 reported cases of vaping cause pneumonia in the US

Actually, there is NO proof that vaping ever caused pneumonia. From Professor Riccardo Polosa Debunks Common Myths About Electronic Cigarettes - ChurnMag :

“There is no way that regular exposure to glycerin in e-vapor will cause accumulation of fatlike material in the lung, because glycerin is not a lipid, but an alcohol. In the Spanish case, radiological evidence for lipoid pneumonia was preceding electronic cigarette use, hence it was not a consequence of vaping. In both cases I could identify a more plausible cause for these patients’ lipoid pneumonia,” Polosa said.

The Spanish case was supposedly the 2nd such case. Even if it were true (which I don't believe) -- 2 cases out of millions of users?

I don't see how anyone could draw a connection.

When I was looking. The sad thing is you look at most of the things people are basing opinion on they are old. I said most not all the positive studies are more recent.

The war against vaping is loaded with lots of bad info, because the opponents to vaping have NO facts to support their case, so they just draw bad conclusions or even make stuff up.
