My adult "kids" refuse to be seen with me, their geezer dad when I'm vaping my e-pipe.

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

My dad who was a smoker for about 30 some years finally started vaping after he saw how successful I was with quitting smoking with it. While he still smokes
he has reduced the number of ciggs to about half of what he used to smoke.One the reasons he still smokes is that he told me he feels self-conscious about using his e-cig (ego style) out in public and around people. Its just wrong that everyone wants people to stop smoking but only if its done in a way they like. There's finally a way for people break free from smoking but the public is making it seem like its a shameful and ridiculous act. I honestly think that's holding back a lot people from trying e-cigs and seeing just how helpful and useful they can be.

My daughters don't mind the reo's, but they shake their heads when the see the little purple army on our dining table. They are so glad that I've quit after 40 years of smoking.
I haven't had any looks so far but nobody around here cares what I do which is nice then again I don't do it much outside, I really don't like vaping outside very much. strange? I dunno, I really enjoy being able to let the vapor cloud around me and smell it without it whisking away in the breeze

If other devices had matched the same exponential growth and innovation seen in e-cigs in the last 5 years, perhaps more women would be smiling more often and Sony would be the world's biggest corporation.

Hey Keith! 40 years for yours truly as well.My daughters don't mind the reo's, but they shake their heads when the see the little purple army on our dining table. They are so glad that I've quit after 40 years of smoking.
Daughter: "Put that down. A cop is pulling alongside us!"
Me: "Why? You know it's just an e-cig that looks like a pipe."
Daughter: "Yes, but it looks like something else!"
Cop: Waves through car window as light turns green and drives off.
Damned kids are on our tails to quit and when we finally do...can't please 'em.

LOL - love it!
It's kind of fun to be vaping outside away from any businesses or houses and have someone downwind say, "Why am I smelling cake?" hahaI haven't had any looks so far but nobody around here cares what I do which is nice

It's ironic that all their pleas when they were growing up didn't work. I was looking for an alternative to smoking in my then brand new truck - you know that no matter how careful you are, you always end up with burn marks in the carpet and upholstery plus ashes everywhere.
Started with cig-alikes, discovered 808's and t3's, found ecf, and fell into this den of iniquity. 10 months later = 3 reo's, hana mini, 'vari mini, and a small collection of NT liquids.

Plenty of "gear" crap myself and yes... a nice big-assed burn hole in the seat of my new Ford F-150.
And damn ECF. One of my kids had to forego college because if this joint. Oh well, I keep telling her the tips are good at iHOP.
Apparently I am one of the rare people who are fortunate enough not to receive any major crap from anyone about vaping. A little bit of background since I am new to this sub-forum: I am 22 years old (4 year ex-smoker) and I have been vaping since mid-May ('14) and have been smober [emoji4] since June 4 (older sisters birthday, since was my biggest supporter to quit who didn't nag and the dates lined up pretty well). I also started working at my local B&M mid-June thanks to sisters' boyfriend who works there and got me set up with my MVP2. He even loaned me one of his mechs and rdas to learn on about 3 weeks ago.
Anyways, my parents and very old fashioned grandma (who I live with) have absolutely no problem with me vaping and have never even gotten onto me about vaping in their houses (besides the one time gma had a bad reaction to the vapor from a particular juice, and I immeadiately stopped using that flavor around her). I guess they are just stoked to see me off of the cancer sticks. I am more of a homebody and hardly go out in public, and I have never vaped inside any public place (except in a movie theater on a date, there were only two old ladies and they left about 5 minutes into 22 Jump Street), but when I am outside or in my car I blow clouds, especially on the mech [emoji6]. Most people don't even give me a second look, even when my car gets foggy when my windows are up.
When I see a cop while driving, the rebellious 20-something inside of me grabs my mod (if not already in hand) and makes sure to chuck clouds to see if I will get any reaction. I have never noticed any funny looks or been stopped though. Living in rural NC (argueably the tobacco capital of America), you would think they would be considered taboo, but I suppose not.
The funniest story I have, is the time I pulled into a gas station down the road, and getting back into my car I started to soak my wicks. The people behind me were buying some dutches or white owls (I am sure most know the primary use for those -_-), so I figured they would appreciate a major cloud. As they got into their car I took a huge lung hit and chucked the cloud out the window. Everyone in the car was like D*mmmmmn, and I just grinned. I was like "Milk n Honey e-juice" which is what I was vaping on that day.
I suppose I will end this reply because it is getting rather lengthy, but I would like to note I placed my first order from NT and I am stoked to try it! Also, I apparently love to use and abuse parenthesis (spelling?), so I appologize if it is hard to read with all my pauses for explinations. Looking forward to spending much more time on the sub-forum and thanks for reading!

Reads well enough to me - and I've had vertigo for the past week 
...first half of the day I need to be 2 feet from the keyboard to even look at it!
Anyway, glad you ordered, and I'm pretty sure you'll like it

Nice to meet you and hear your story ronnbert! How fortunate you are to quit smoking at such an early age. Good luck with the new job, maybe you can get them to start selling some NT juice soon! Which juices did you buy? I look forward to hearing what you think of them!
On Sunday my mom insisted all my e cigs got smaller, lol! I said, no, those are the exact same things you objected to last time. She tried to argue with me about it but finally gave up. Both my parents still think this is nuts so I don't think I'll be gettind dad off cigars.
Ah well, you know that saying: you can't please all of the people.....
I had one or two comments from my husband and one of our sons about why hadn't I stopped using e cigs by now! Tried to explain, even the reduction in nicotine gradually, realised it was a case of some falling on stony ground and just said, "OK then, you want me to start smoking again?" ....silence!
Wouldn't care, but my husband likes the smell of a lot of my flavours!
I may be vaping a long time, and possibly forever. I'm dropping my nic though. Wish I could afford 6mg to match all my leftover 18mg ones, but getting close to using them up.
Welcome to the club, ronnbert!
I agree, it's great that you were able to quit cigarettes so early. Wish vaping had been around years before it was.
What did you order from NT? (just being nosey)

It's the getting there, or where you want to be that counts -
I'm not breaking my neck to get to zero, but I do have quite a few of the same in .6 and zero that I mix, and some .3 & .4.
No matter how ill I was, when I smoked, I still had cigarettes.
Last week, I was so ill one day that I couldn't face using my e-cigs etc. I didn't even miss the nicotine, and that surprised me!
I don't have plans to stop or continue either ...just take it as it comes
welcome ron
Cops have surely noticed my car fogged out and never done anything...then again, around here they don't even care if it's the 'other stuff' so i doubt they'd pull me over for that unless they were bored
