I think I must have that "addictive" dna strand! LOL! I can understand the rest of the crap that's in cigarettes being very addictive, but the nicotine by itself isn't supposed to be. I quit smoking in one day when I got my first vaping setup (those crappy little EVODS), but ever since I tried to eliminate the nic, I've not been able to succeed. I COULD, but I'm unwilling to go through the moods and bad tempered stuff to get there. I've been off cigarettes now for TEN MONTHS (where does the time go????), so I'm not still hooked on those, or even craving them, but I do have to have at least some nic in my juice. It hardly seems worth it at 1 or 2 mg, but I gotta have it. It's so weird...:unsure:

Mornin Folks!
This might be a bit off topic but I just paid over $550 for a set of four 15" radial tires for my light truck..
These are California prices and I think they're about the highest in the country..also paid another $127 for a new O2 sensor..after looking at the ridiculously high prices of a new truck I decided I better keep this one for a few more years, but maintenance is expensive too..seems I can't win sometimes! Thanks for letting me vent, :)

What a DEAL! Rich just priced tires for our light truck and they're gonna run a thousand for all four. It boggles the mind. I'm old enough to remember when you could get a decent tire for $25.00, mounted and balanced. :cry:

Must be the geek in me, I was trying to figure out why you guys were talking about Single Sided Double Density floppy discs.

Lmao I don't know nothin bout floppy discs...is that some ancient relic from the stone ages? :lol: Oh it's what the save symbol looks like...this is what you get when you are born in the 90s.

Everyone keeps saying nic isn't addictive, but to me it IS. I dropped from 12mg with my tootle puffing to 3mg with the sub-ohm tanks, but now the 3mg stuff is too harsh, so I dropped to 1, but I end up chain vaping it because it's just "not enough." I have a bunch of zero nic juices for evening because I found out that was what was keeping me from sleeping, but the few times I tried doing zero nic all the time, I ended up very depressed and morose. And angry and hostile... it wasn't nice, and it wasn't ME. So I started back in with the nic and pulled right out of it in a matter of days. So they can say nic isn't addictive all they want, but when I don't have it, I get the same pulling sensation in my solar plexus that I did when I had to go too many hours without a smoke, even IF I'm vaping zero nic, and after a day or two the depression sets in. It's not all psychological, I don't think. Maybe for some people, but not for me, that's for sure. I'm currently mixing (in the tank) some of my older 3mg juice with some of my 1mg juice to get a net result of 2, and that seems to be even better for me in the mornings, but I have to go down to 1 around mid-morning or I start getting the pounding, racing heartbeat that means I've ingested too much nic. It's a balancing act, for damn sure!

Nicotine is highly addictive, the same as caffeine. They both are also stimulants. I use to be a bad coffee-haulic. Dranks 2 or more pots a day year round and decided one day to give it up. Few weeks later I was feeling horrible and thought I had the flu. Joints hurt, aches, mild nausea, and I drank a coke and within seconds it all went away. No pain, no nothing. I felt good. Thats when I realized I was going thru caffeine withdrawals.
I drink far less coffee now but it is addictive and the nicotine is what kept us hooked on cigs. Same thing, without it we would go thru massive withdrawals. Thats one of the reasons why vaping is so successful in helping people get off the stinkies.

10 months, that's GREAT!!!!!! I'm at 7 now. Hey, who really cares if you have that nic anyway. It's SMOKING ashes into your lungs and all those other things that'll kill ya. We feel better, look better, smell better. YOU rock! :banana:

Totally agree. Nicotine IS addictive, otherwise I wouldn't be hurting my jaws every day at work chewing that stupid gum. I used to drink 3 STRONG pots of coffee a day and ended up with tachycardia. Well, I'm down to 3-5 cups of regular strength a day now, but I'll never give up my coffee completely.

What is everyone buying with all these Easter sales? I just ordered a 120ml of Vaporham Lincoln's Baja Breeze :cool:
Man, I didn't realize there WERE any sales. Been busy out with the dogs and cleaning house for Easter. Guess I'll take a look see......I want more BCC tanks.

My tires cost around $300 each for the Xterra. Hopefully I won't need to buy any soon.....I kinda miss my pickup though. Traded it after the horse was gone. :( Need to get my little flatbed trailer fixed up again to haul stuff on.

indeed...I am probably far more addicted to caffeine then nicotine now that I have switched to vaping :p, but on that note....sugar is one of the most addictive substances on the planet, :D
