Still smoking support and chat thread

[ShariR]

And the fact that you do not love them either soothes my disappointment a little. They are well loved among the Ahlusion crowd that frequents the thread and these people tend to be the experienced vapers. I am surprised I found them to be so mediocre. Most of Ahlusion's juices I find to be of much better quality and flavor than I find at many other vendors. I wonder if it may have something to do with the fact that my most enjoyable flavors are tobacco based or tea bases with a sweet element, rather than the candies or fruits or straight bakery tastes. Something for me to think about.

Are your SVC and BVC from the Xpress line or were they ordered from the regular menu and freshly mixed? The ones I got were from a holiday sale and have an expiration date of 3/14. I was wondering if they might have been an off batch and that is why they were on sale. Just trying to figure out why they are so out of the norm of quality I am used to.

DANG IT! Those are 2 of the 6 I limited myself to on my first (and only so far) order from Ahlusion. And so far, I have to agree. Although not quite as bad as smelly socks for me, these are just not ... good. Mine are only about 3 weeks old so far, and I keep trying. They SOUNDED so good, and there were plenty of good reviews to back them up. But YAH, not my faves either

I met my first vaper in the wild today at Lowes. It was the man that was pricing the hardwood flooring for our kitchen. I had brought my Provari with me to the meeting and asked if he minded if I vaped. He surprised me by saying that he started using an ecig this last month. He could not tell me what he had for a battery or jds but was quite impressed with my Provari Mini. Of course, I excitedly told him about ECF and gave him B&M and vape meet info. I was quite tickled to finally meet someone else that vapes outside of a B&M or vape meet. He let me vape away at Lowes.

The motor for the upstairs furnace was over $600. Then we go to Lowes to price kitchen island and hardwood. I am flabbergasted at the prices. So much for an island out of any book or the kitchen remodels you see on HGTV. And forget granite. A girl can dream, I guess. This calls for a concerted effort to wage a campaign with my claims adjuster about their allocation of funds to replace our kitchen island. They gave us enough money to buy the knobs, not the cabinets. Battle will ensue shortly. I am rallying my forces and gathering all supporting documents to win this war.

Good morning, all!

Congrats on your win, Karen! Couldn't have happened to a nicer girl at a better time!

Alisa, I'm lovingly jealous of the little snow you have right now. I know it can be difficult to travel in snow, no matter how little, when it's falling and blowing all over the place, though. (Here in small town Ontario, there's a LOT of the white stuff, and more is supposed to be coming this weekend.)

Keep fighting the good fight, Shari! Don't let the ins company short-change you and your DH on the money you need for the repairs to your home.

Vapers in the wild--I've seen a couple of those lately. The latest one was last night, a former tobacco customer who came into the store where I work last night. Started preaching to me how he hasn't had a cigarette in a week since he got his setup--an ego-T battery with a Vision clearo--and how I should make the switch and quit smoking, too, just like he has. Never had a chance to tell him about my own setup, or about how I've struggled, but I know I would have wasted my breath if I tried, because he wouldn't have listened anyhow. Oh, well, life goes on.

I'm shocked ... not that you met another vaper (which is cool) but that he let you vape in Lowes. From what I have heard they are as anti-vaping as they are anti-smoking.

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday! It's TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes! I especially appreciate Uncle's contribution to my questions. Only time will tell how it gets handled.

Just looking forward to being insured and having a small income.

Good morning everyone. I'm so undone today. My life is like a badly written sit-com. I'll spare you all the gory details but the kids are sick, so am I, the car broke, the bank account is empty, and I smoked a cigarette at break just now. I feel a lot better now, and I'm not beating myself up for it. I AM beating myself up for going outside with 2 empty tanks on 2 different PV's. D'oh!!! Got a lot of work to do today, and hope you all have a great weekend!

Good morning everyone.

Isn't Alhusion a NET? I've yet to try them, but my tastes are very particular so I probably won't bother.

 

[DoloresB]

I'm not quite sure about Allusion, but I know you can get NETs here:

Ecigarette, Ecigs, Electronic Cigarettes | Goodejuice

Also, Johnnie, check out this thread:

Hopefully this thread, run by Luceblueboy, will get you going in the right direction. Cheers

BTW, welcome to the thread!

 

[Johnnie Price]

Thanks! I'm honestly not interested in NET's since I hate the taste of tobacco. Sorry if you went to extra effort on my part.

I joined this thread to vent about smoking a cigarette.
You can give into the lie that it's the end of everything good or you can choose to look at it like tripping over a stick, get up, dust off the mud and carry on with your journey through the woods on your way to the mountain top of freedom.
One thing we can get used to is not having to kick the buttocks of the craving by vaping but with no nicotine we have to fight the 3 minutes of time that the craving tells our brain and body every lie in the book.
I was just thinking this morning I no longer drink any alcoholic beverages because I cannot enjoy 1 without falling into the trap again of intellectual/emotional alcoholism but there were times when I could. Smoking is the same way. Eventually we learn to deal with the addiction, accept it for what it is, and find other ways to get the emotional fix that smoking provides. Until then, just remember you're human and on a journey of not only learning knowledge but learning about self as each chain link is broken. Bad times can bring us down or we can look for the positive in them. It brought you here, you didn't just suck it up without sharing the frustration and admitting it felt REALLY NICE to fail during the failure. Next time you'll probably find something else to beat that. This might be a catalyst to get you into the habit of keeping a spare bottle of juice somewhere convenient and easy to access in case of emergency. Same thing with a charger for your battery. I learned as a smoker always keep a spare lighter handy because the only thing worse than not having a cigarette was having a cigarette with no way to light it.
I hope you and the family get over the yuk , or wherever, really soon.

well, anyone remember the local B&M that i complained about not having anything advanced? they listened to my feedback. they bought good batteries (used to have some 2-pack that claimed 5000 mah but barely gave 500mah, which they appologised for and offered to replace each battery with a sony high amp battery for free *i dont need the replacement, just wanted them to know those batteries were junk*) they anow are carrying quite a few APV's and im not sure how many rebuildables they now carry. im planning on headingthere sunday. might get a hammer mod. but i dont have any batteries that will fit unless my 18500 will fit. and girlfriend wants a VV/VW device herself now, so we will see what the store has in price range for us.

It was no trouble at all. I thought I was offering help, but I guess I was wrong. My apologies.

No problem. Nothing to apologise for. Sorry if I confused you.

That's my line - I'm living in a comedy sit-com. Yes, I get that feeling frequently. Friends, pets, even my apartment turn into real life cartoon characters. I don't know why the Simpson's haven't adopted a chinese crested yet. I seriously considered painting my kitchen after "friends". Whoever said 3x's a charm didn't know how to count. Good thing you didn't buy or smoke a whole pack. Both your DD's are cool ppl. Sorry, no magic cliche for the car or bank acct. But if you discover one, let me know. Is it snowing there? Here's to hoping your weekend is restful. It sounds like you could use some.

I'm asorbed into the show "Lost". I missed it while it was airing so I'm watching all 6 seasons now. Up to season 5 and really enjoying it. but I'm avoiding things I should be taking care of. I also missed Dexter and that's next.

Hi, Johnnie!

Welcome to the (whatever you call this, the list? the group? the asylum?)

Alhusion is actually a vendor, not a liquid; I think that's what got you and Dolores a bit cross-wired.

Welcome to Ahlusion

(And I don't believe they sell WTA juices, although they do have tobacco flavors).

Asylum sounds good.
