Smoked a cigarette today......

[JENerationX]

It's been over a month, and I just wanted to see what I was "missing" and lit a real one at lunch. I damn near sucked my face in trying to get a decent amount of smoke. I find it interesting that people are constantly looking for more vapor production...... yet the last puff from a dying Volt 78mm battery and last drop of juice in a carto produces far more vapor than an actual cigarette produces smoke. Also, there's the taste , and it felt like my taste buds were frying . I don't think I'll ever wonder if I'm missing anything again.

not to sound like a know it all.... but a few things I have observed..

1) vapor is heavier then smoke... it falls down and smoke floats up... this is imho part of why new vapors cough (the other part is just the steam effect)....and now why the smoke feel like nothing now...

2) after vaping and not smoking your lungs can now hold more...another reason why the smoke feels like nothing... also why vapers keep chasing more vapor and throat hit because over time they can handle more just my 2 cents

Wasn't it amazing how unsatisfying that cigarette was compared to how you remember it ??

Hey, JEN. I've probably smoked 4 cigarettes in the past year. What I've noticed is that it takes hours to get the taste out of my mouth, and even with a couple of tooth brush/mouthwash cycles, it seems like it just has to wear off!

Congrats, I still burn a real one every once and a while if Im drinking with friends. I have found after a few cocktails that I will vape myself sick because it never goes out. I used to drink a few drinks and smoke cigars, so the occasional cigarette once every month or two doesn't bother me that bad. But the next day I generally cough my head off and regret it (same with the cigars I used to smoke) and any other time Im not under a good healthy dose of alcohol they taste terrible!

In the same boat been about a 3 weeks for me... and when my disposable poops on me I'll light up a cancer stick and maybe make it half way before I am done with the taste....

A family member said "Oh, so you fell off the wagon?". Ummmm no. I tried a friend's smoke shop e-cig one day... thought it was cool to be able to do for times I can't smoke and tried my own. I found it lacking the satisfaction after a few days and it was fiddly with the little cartridge tips. Checked youtube for reviews, got my volts, and PREFERRED vaping for the taste, cost, and healthier lungs. Having that cig wasn't a "failure" it was a reconfirmation of my excellent decision to vape.

Got my 2nd X2, 6 new clearos in the mail today, and I'm sitting inside happily sucking away on some Gooey Butter Cake from Kick Bass Vapor. Ahhhhhhhhhh my deep satisfied breath is deeper and clearer since finding SI.
