The Hardest thing to do is say goodbye to you

[ChristopherMaguire]

so ive been somking e-cig for only 2-3 months now and i just lost my job in my stupid lil town and now i have no way of affording my carto's ugh ... right? anyone have any good advice on what to do

Only that they're less expensive than cigarettes, much less so if you're refilling. So if you're quitting both - well, that's probably a silver lining!

But sorry to hear you lost your job anyway.

Sorry to hear about your job!!! Times are hard. Keep your head up.

switch to DIY it will be way way way way cheaper

I know a guy that just got a huge contract and they called the next day and cancelled. The people that approved the contract all got laid off. The company is shutting down and nobody even knew. They said they can't afford to stay in business....the future is too uncertain.

reload your carts with DIY and save a ton of money!

I soaked a snu in 5ml of VG with about 1 ml of 100-proof vodka (grain alcohol would be better). The result wasn't great, but vapable....and only cost about 30 cents. Put that in old cartos....and you are vaping for literally pennies.

Sorry to hear the bad news...
So...what? you're going back to regular cigs? How will you be able to afford that?
If you're quitting nicotine altogether, I think you've found your silver lining to this black cloud.

yea don't waste your limited funds on analogs, just do the simple math (pack-a-day habit is about $35-$45 a week depending where you live, that same amount of cash gets you a months+ supply from V4L! but if you plan to be cig and vape free then guess what? you Won!

Interesting. Was the nic content satisfying - what mg do you normally vape? And - could you guess at a possible mg level based on how well it satisfied your nic craving. I think I've seen you say you vape a few ml of 36mg every day, so if it satisfied your craving I'd be interested to know that.

Nobody knows how much nic gets extracted, but it is believed to be very small. This method is mainly to get flavoring, which I then add a few drops of 100mg PG. I normally vape 36 and 47, so the snu soak alone wouldn't likely work for me. Still, it could get people through some rough times by extending what they do have. It's the alcohol that is thought to do the nic extracting and I use vodka becuase my backward state has decided that the population can't be trusted with pure grain alcohol. I plan to try some DIY with dissolvables as soon as I find a place that sells them. They are not common, yet, in my area. I think a dissolvable for the nic....and a snu for flavor...and I should be able to make some homebrew juice.

I'll start a post on it in the general forum to see what better informed people than me have to say about it.

I'm reckless....but not reckless enough to try and extract pure nicotine.

I'd be happy to send you some extra cartomizers and juice that we don't use if you need more to hold you over for a while. I'm really sorry to hear about your job.

Send me a PM with your name and addy and I can send out a care package to help keep you going too.

The people on this forum are simply the best; hope you can find a way to stay around. If you can get a moderate supply of carts, limp along by ordering the highest strength (36mg) juice - dilute it with cheap VG from the drugstore / walmart, then get really good at refilling / boiling / refilling, etc. You should be able to get by this way, or at least cut down significantly; all the techniques and information you need is on this subforum. At all costs, avoid buying that first pack of analogs again. Keep a good attitude and let us know if we can help.

 

[ChristopherMaguire]

ok everyone just pm me n ill send u my addy thanks so much for everything
