Smoking an analog experience.

I smoked a cigarette a couple weeks ago for the first time in a couple months...and it was delicious. I have about 5 or 6 a year. and each time I have one, I'm in heaven for about 15 minutes.

I no longer "need" a smoke to function. I no longer spend 300 dollars a month smoking. smoking no longer has any kind of control over my life.

Hey Caro123, I've seen you around quite a bit lately.

I generally like your posts for the most part.
You often have interesting stuff to say, and you have passion.

But I really must ask at this point...
Do you have a period anywhere on your typing apparatus?

Caro's lungs have gotten so much better since using vaping to stop smoking, that can all be in one sentence, and even read the whole thing without taking a breath.

Last August, I bought a vamo v2. Biggest piece of crap ever. 6 months after I bought it, it started shutting itself off, usually right in the middle of a vape, sometimes i could vape for half a day before I shut off. Another month after that, the on/off/fire button barely worked and alot of times when it shut off, I couldn't get it to come back on. I was stupid and didn't want to spend another 100 or more bucks on a new ecig so I stopped before work one morning and got a pack of smokes. I hated smoking. I wondered how it was ever enjoyable for me. It tasted like crap, I hated that I smelled like an ash tray, there was a big difference in how I felt, just blah. My car was going to stink again...so after 18 cigs, I decided to just buy another ecig and I'm so happy I did. I got the istick 30w with a kanger Subtank mini and I absolutely love it. I will use this thing until it dies and then I will get a 50w but I will not ever smoke cigs again. I felt like a failure because I had broken my record being 7 months cig free but I had to get my nicotine somehow. I'm just glad it wasn't more than 18 cigs.

There has been no evidence of WTA having any safety concerns over and above nicotine-only eliquid.

On the contrary, there is a higher presence of "Tobacco-specific nitrosamines" in WTA than in regular nicotine juice. They're known carcinogens, and while the levels are huuugely less than when tobacco is smoked, they are still there in the tobacco extraction process.

Some WTA juice makers note lower levels of TSNA's, while some don't really acknowledge them at all. I've read that maceration processes for WTA liquids can increase the levels of TSNA.

I'm no chemist, and "safer" is somewhat impossible to quantify (especially with e-cigs), but it is worth mentioning that there is some concern over WTA liquids being "less safe" than regular nicotine e-liquid.
