Dieseler you are so right. I feel relieved to have found something that works.
Congratulations Vintage.
As you well know of our generation cigs were normal thing to do they were in everyday life and most kids growing up well just thought it was the normal thing to do.
Our parents smoked our relatives all smoked etc.
Its great to finally stop isn't it.

I am sooo unaware of what is going on, thanks for filling me in.
Yes in Canada lately lots of shipments of hardware and Nic juice being stopped. Previously they were allowing hardware through. We also have a few brics and mortar places here and online shops but they are being hounded by HC. I've spoken with a few people in the know and they told me certain things which I'm leery of posting in an open forum. I've stocked up on supplies enough to last me 1 1/2 yrs even though I'm hoping to be finished with vaping next June? Also converted 2 politician's family members and they've told me they are amazed at the power of the Ecig but there is just too much opposition from other politicians and Big Money. Now in the U.S. credit card companies are cutting vendors off from use of their cc. The main problem is there is a lack of Clinical Trials for Ecigs and that's why all vendors listed here at ECF cannot state that Ecigs are smoking cessation devices. TW (Totally Wicked) had some gear confiscated and they took the FDA to court and won. Most thought the battle was won but we now see the FDA, the government and big business are exerting their influence to pressure the Ecig business and users via other methods. Here's a link of the TW case:

You're welcome. It all began because I'm a research hound and, like most of us, am very passionate about PVs. I believe that's the reason most vendors began their business IMHO. I was thinking of opening a store and did some more research. I also have the political connections because I've always been extremely active with many issues and had made many contacts/ acquaintances/ friends along the way.

I believe there will always be supplies available for those that need them. Some will sell for money while others will do it out of passion for this lifestyle IMHO.

No wonder I haven't seen anyone so far Vaping Downunder. I wonder how strick they will get. I would be devastated if I couldn't Vape now and it's only been 4 weeks. I feel so much happier and relieved not to be smoking.

I'm new to this too, and no one I know uses these. I intend to be a role model and have shared with every smoker I know! After trying absolutely every traditional way of quitting cigs with no success, I'm finally smoke free and loving it! Congrats to you!

Tried to convert a lot of smokers with very little success, just one person. I don't understand why 'cuz I think it's the only way to go. Can't even get my GF to switch! You can lead a horse to water...

But you tried and, I'm sure, will keep trying. Could be my circle of friends are at that stage in life where we/ they begin to worry- little pain in the chest, some coughing, out of breath going up stairs, watching Grand kids grow up. Most of the people I converted had tried quitting before but were unsuccessful. They really like the idea that they are in control rather than some pre-manufactured patch or gum.
Happy Vaping.

I found after only one day of vaping I hated the analog smell so they probably only have to try it for a day or two.

Well the journey continues just received my Revolution V2 and after receiving help from the Forum I am now vaping on it. I hadn't put juice in the new cart as well as squeezing the bottle. I will let everyone know how it goes after a day or two.

I hope you like it! I'm really liking mine so far.

I have decided to be brave and have my Avatar on display with my Carers Assitant Dog ( when she was a puppy) in the pic. She now works full time with disabled children and adults.

Hey there! I'm in Aus too. Logan City (south of Brisvegas) lovely to see more Aussies and congrats on giving up the stinkies. 2 months for me and it's been mostly easy, only a couple of bad days so far.


Last cigarette 16th October, 2011. Forever grateful for the support and advice from ECF.
