So on Friday night I was watching sport from 8pm till 1am....I was vaping a 6mg juice (Cinnamon Roll, Mt Baker Vapor) at 30%PG / 70%VG, on a Provari at around 5volts. Went through around 7ml of juice in that time, almost chain vaping.

I went to bed and was wondering how my lungs / body would feel in the morning. Well....I woke around 8.30am, went to the shower, coughed ONCE, just a light cough.....and then....nothing. NO ill effects, no more coughing, nothing. Felt 100% ok and went back to normal vaping.

Now, I'm not saying vaping is healthy, but I know if I chain smoked for 5 hours not only would I be coughing my lungs up the next morning, but I'd feel absolutely terrible. I've been vaping for around 180 odd days now and whilst I am a true BELIEVER in vaping, I had not done a chain vape for that long before. This just reinforces my belief in vaping as being the best thing you will do in your life, so stick at it if you are new to the caper, it DOES WORK!!!!

Best of luck to all the new vapors out there!

My wife and I chain vape every night after the kids hit the sack. We love it. Just sitting together watching our favorite shows and blowing clouds. I never feel any ill effects. I mean zero. I sleep with open nasal passages and stopped snoring too. Best habit I've ever picked up in my life. Truly a life changing event.

Getting used to it had some effects. Throat was sore and dry at times and not understanding how to manage nic levels led to some headaches and difficulty sleeping. I think it was maybe the first 2 weeks or so and now it's nothing but pure pleasure.

Nice guitar Bob! That's a Gibson SG yeah? AC/DC fan by chance?

I've vaped for over three years now and my lungs are much better than the 40 years I smoked. My cars and my house smell nice these days and no one has to stand 5 feet away like they did when I came back from the break area at work after smoking.

I've found that the lowest voltage that produces sufficient vapor and taste is best for atomizer coil life and your lungs. PG and VG are irritants when the vapor is inhaled, but nothing like the irritating effect of tobacco smoke. I'm finally ordering 18mg juice instead of 24mg. I hope to find satisfaction in 12mg juice soon and maybe lower as long as the throat hit is sufficient. Maybe I will like some juices that were too harsh at 24mg strength.

Two of my working guitars that get gigged frequently.

My bro-in-law builds them from scratch so it's a custom. He gave it so me for christmas a couple years ago. Made a grown man cry when I opened the case. Solid piece of claro walnut bought at some obscure lumberyard and P-90 humbuckers. Pride and joy for sure. And yes, big ac/dc fan. lol

He's almost done with a custom les paul for me. Refuses to accept money too. I think I love my bro-in-law more than my sister. HAHA

Nice looking natural finish on the SG. When the Les Paul design was first implemented, it should have been double cutaway. I find myself stretching in unnatural ways to play the 15th fret position and higher.

Beautiful set of Gibson's Dave!

Les Pauls aren't the most comfortable for me playing when sitting either. Body shape doesn't let it sit perfect. I agree about the cutaway but I'm 90% rhythm and 10% lead so it won't bug me too much.

I won't hijack the thread anymore but I'm super proud of by bro-in-laws work. It started as a hobby and now he thinks he can do it on the side for cash. This is a custom firebird he finished last year. It's for the guitarist of a local NYC band named Mighty High. The guitar is name "Higherbird". lol

Nice Firebird! Below is a link to my Musician's thread here on ECF. You can hijack it all you want with pictures of guitars and talk about playing.
