Good Morning! I hope you have a marvelous Monday!

I keep a fully charges air pump/ battery charger/ flashlight/ cell phone charger even has two AC plugs on it, in my trunk. Has saved my .... a million times. I don't drive often anymore , only emergencies, so I hope I never need it again. It was expensive, but well worth the price.

I keep checking my bank account for changes, nothing, oh well, a good lobster dinner is worth the wait!!!!!!!! LOL I can't wait! Still have to figure out who is going to do the cracking open part, not sure if my hands will be able to do it. But I fully intend to find out!

Aik you won again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go lookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on my group page!!!!! Not sure what you won though they have a few things going on LOL

And I haven't even been trying! I swear you spread good luck. :laugh:

I pm'd them right away. I'm in so many contests that I don't know what all I've entered. The page is a little confusing. I think it's a vape case and couple of tank and a couple of juices. So I was hoping they'd tell me, ask me flavors, what phone I have, nic level, something that would give me a clue, right?
Nope. They just said "it's on it's way". :facepalm: Good thing I like surprises.

But what a way to start the week! HECK YEAH!
Next up, the lottery (after my tire gets fixed).

Hi...

I've been vaping about 4 months. I was an ex-smoker for many years and vaping was my attempt to thwart cigarette cravings I was having (even years after quitting). It didn't work, as I picked up smoking again, but I'm still vaping.

Finding vaping didn't work was so frustrating... especially as I've heard so many success stories. I kept thinking "What's wrong with me?" Then I started reading about minor tobacco alkaloids and realized tobacco addiction is a lot more complicated than just getting a nicotine fix.

Currently I'm more like a dual user. I have a few cigarettes a day but I vape when smoking would be difficult or impossible- I've cut my smoking down by half or 2/3. I'm considering trying smokeless tobacco to quit the cigs- I've tried American snuff but I really do prefer snus that I tried years ago (before it was trendy).

Let me know how they work and how you like it. I've been eying them but want to hear how they work first. Especially if they have a battery or use the phones battery. My iPhone battery life sux as it is.

Hi FireDragon and welcome to the thread! Glad you found us and decided to post. We are a mixed bunch here but there are several of us that are dual users and some that do use snus. Not me though so sorry that I can not help you there.

What equipment are you using and what are you vaping? Do you have an all day vape or do you like to mix it up a lot?

I started out with a Vision Spinner 1300mah and an evod. Quickly started dripping into 510 attys and that is still my preferred method of vaping. I recently got myself a provari and a Russian 91% RBA and love it. First real almost hands free vaping I have done and the flavor is amazing.

Oh, and I am kinda a tobacco girl. No matter how many flavors I try I keep drifting back to something that has a tobacco base, although I like sweetened tobaccos.

Stay and chat with us a while.

Will do!
I may have to buy a phone to fit it though since mine is 4s. That's why I was expecting them to ask.
A lot of people have been referring me towards Android/Samsung5.
Maybe this'll force me to make up my mind.

Welcome. You'll fit right in here.
I know for me it's not just the nicotine. I do better transitioning to vaping when I stay away from commercial cigs (RYO or snus). Even tobacco companies have admitted that they added chemicals to make cigs more addicting without increasing the nicotine content. It makes sense to me that there's more to it.

you all know I have been very lucky winning contests, I just won another that wasn't announced yet, it will be announced tomorrow. SO, that said, I have just about every kind of MOD there is out there and every kind of ATTY other than RBA's like Kayfun or Genie styles. I have drippers and BCC, BDC, well like I said, just about everything.

I now have some of the best juices that I have tasted. I still smoke! This is crazy! I sometimes take a puff of the Cig and then follow it up with the vapor, It tastes better, I know this, I like it better, so why am I smoking????? I must be crazy, I use RYO tobacco, I prefer still ,the store bought ,but can live with the RYO. I know a small part is the form factor, I like to hold the darn thing between my lips. that hasn't gone away
I am trying an experiment to just hold the cig in my lips,unlit and then vape if that is what it takes, I will do it. No fear of looking stupid, who is going to see me?

Flavor does make a huge difference, once you find flavors that you love, I don't mean ok flavors, I mean I love these flavors, then it does help to vape more, and smoke a little less. I saw product that I will buy, when I get my money, on the same basis that the eRoll is but larger an auto VV from V4L it might help i can only guess, I will either spend vast sums of money or vast amount of time to get what works, I am in this over a year now and I really believe it will work when I find the right thing. I will still use all my other stuff when I can think about what I am doing but for mindless vaping to be like mindless smoking, I must find the right setup, and I am sure it's out there.

Welcome Dragonfire! I understand for sure! I am a dual user, addict. I can only say that you will find acceptance, some help and support here. Most if not all of the people that are here either struggled with leaving smoking behind or continue to smoke, like it or not. The best advise is not to beat yourself up and just keep at it. AS you can see from above, I question myself, but I will not quit vaping, I am determined to continue the journey.

I am down from 4 PAD to less than a PAD so it's a win no matter how I look at it. GOod Luck on your journey! I hope you come around again and stay awhile!

If you tap on the comment it will be highlighted. Then you can click the thumbs up to like or press the comment bubble to quote. You can highlight multiple comments to quote, but can only like when one is highlighted.

Also go into settings and change your signature. I removed mine.

4 PAD is a pretty heavy habit to dump. Some of it for me is that cigs are like a safety blanket too. It scares me to be without them, what if I get upset over something - yes, I use them to calm me down, chill sticks. That is the MEGA challenge for me and the number 1 reason I end up smoking again.

My actual point is that everyone has their triggers that are like needs for smoking. It helps me to recognize what mine are and help prepare for them, figure out contingency plans - alternatives. At one time I used running. Then walking (not as fun). I've hit thrift stores for awhile. Something. I think I hang out here sometimes and it's kinda weird to talk about eliquids and vaping while smoking a cigarette. Yes it can be done, I've done it but I find myself prefferring to vape more. I think that's why I hang out in DIY looking at flavors and reciepes (not as expensive as mods). Others have said that's why they tinker with coil building and clouds.

Whatever works.
Except maybe killing someone.
Or maxing the cc's out.
