Ha, just been offer a job at a vape shop, very well known in the UK and I have been buying from them for years...... of course I jumped at the chance, after he told me about my discount I get, oh no, there really is no hope for me now hahaha. Great people though with bags of knowledge, it's not the money or the discount if I'm honest, justing being around vape stuff has really got me buzzing and it gets me doing something I love with a passion.

Congrats, let the tattooing commence! :lol:

The anger comes for the people that have yet to quit smoking, that is a crime to think that the best known method to stop smoking is being banned, how utterly disgusting that is.
They are concerned about their pocketbooks. It is not only disgusting, it is a travesty. Something that has saved so many lives and has the ability to save so many more.

Absolutely, they trade morals for money. Drug pushers have always been selfish though..

It will take a revolution for that to happen Lannie. Our elected officials are pushing real hard for socialism and when they accomplish that, we are doomed.

I know, but because I fear my government (and that is the saddest thing of all), I'm not saying what I really WANT to say. Just know I'm not the meek and timid grandma you might think. I don't want to go all political, so I'll leave it there. I remember the way the country was when I was growing up, and this ain't it.

If they are so consered about the younger generation then why don't they ban tobacco, e liquid flavors ain't gonna give ya cancer. Vaping is coming to an end peeps, plain and simple, or it's going to become so difficult and expensive we ain't gonna bother.
TBH, it stopped me smoking and I have already found I can go without vaping with no cravings at all, it has done it's job for me which I'm thankful for. I am free now :)
I am down to 1.5mg of nic and I've been vaping nic free most of the time with Em, I just enjoy it but I don't NEED it.

Like Atcha said, they're not concerned about the younger generation AT ALL. Or public health. Their ONLY concern is how much money they can get. They can get a whole bunch more money from people who are addicted to smoking than they can from people who vape, but aren't addicted to it. Therefore, they must demonize vaping, and when that doesn't work, they must try to ban it, to scare or force the smokers into staying with cigarettes.

Unfortunately, I can't quit the nic yet. I keep thinking it must be psychological after all this time since I quit, but it's a physical sensation, a pulling, and emptiness, that makes me grab my tank with the nic juice in it.

I'm with you Lannie. One day though we'll be able to get off the nic. Chin up.

Oh FLA, I know, my councilling has gone T up but I spoke with Em and she said I need to just enjoy life and as long as it's not hurting anyone and I can afford to do it then shut up, chill out and just do what makes you happy......of course a part of me was thinking, well you would say that, you want a new mod lol..

I think it's the perfect job for you. Your passion for the hobby will help others out. Your right what ever you want to do, DO IT!!
You seem to have forgotten my motto:
My name is Chuck and I don't give a F@&K!!

New Mod????:D

Found a K5 in stock in the US at a fair price.

Not once have I bought an authentic that lived up to the hype and every single time I lost money selling it.

I'm killing time typing this so they will sell out, they only have 5 of them.

Its like having that huge buck in your sights but knowing the meat will me tough and gamey. Meanwhile that young button buck will taste better and shipped this morning (the Merlin).

oh kewl, thanks! Hope I can remember that, cuz seems like I recall you or someone sayin it before but I forgot. But does it also take the color off the band, or only what's printed on it?
Yeah to what David said. Look at the band and see if the band color is surface only or is molded in (i.e., is the whole band the same color?). The letters are just on the surface and will be removed. If you have, for example, a white band that appears red on only one side with white lettering, chances are that the inked surface was the red - the white lettering is showing through from the band's molded color. Acetone would then take off all the red, which would make the lettering disappear also. Try not to use too much because acetone will soften most rubber and could make for a gooey rubber ring. Use baby steps.

I was very addicted to cigarettes but never to nic in vaping, it has always baffled me how some need their liquid nic so much when I have no withdrawal effects at all. It was only when the nic was combined with the other toxins that It became addictive. Maybe it's all in the mind, I dunno but there is obviously a reason why some can't do without it and some can. o_O

I'm with ya sista!!!!

I walked away from smoking as soon as I got a decent vape rig.

Never once have I smoked or even considered it.

But I am still addicted to nicotine. I don't know how or why or for how long I will be but its a flat out addiction.

Don't know but I'm the same as you. I can go very long times without vaping. Doesn't bother me now at all. When I smoked I couldn't go very long. Your right it's all the other krap that's in them.

The other thing we deal with here at Casa de Cooler is my wife is addicted to nicotine now.

In just over a year she's gone from a never smoker to a stone cold vape junkie. Slip her some 0mg or even cut her juice and she'll cut my throat.

I've been dealing with nicotine addiction for decades so I'm used to it but seeing how powerful the addiction is in somebody who never smoked is,............is,............. I don't know. They say the nicotine itself doesn't cause much harm but still it makes ya wonder.

My son and I are both Vape Jehovah Witness's and we've knocked on alot of doors since we where saved.

We where compared long term notes the other day. I work with mostly people over 50 and he;s mostly people under 50.

For both of us we found about the same things.

Of note............

People that quit smoking and get into the vape lyfe have a 100% chance of staying clean.

People who really belive in it and stay with it but don't make it a lifestyle also hit 100%.

People who say its just a thing go back to smoking.

People who say it got them off the cigs but they are fine now go back to smoking.

People who say all vapers are gonna die they can beat this without a crutch all still smoke.

Neither of us know a soul who's quit any other way, same as before.

I was very addicted to cigarettes but never to nic in vaping, it has always baffled me how some need their liquid nic so much when I have no withdrawal effects at all.
When I was a smoker, I actually believed it was the nic (and/or other chemicals in the tobacco) that made me smoke for 50 years. In the last few years of smoking, however, I began to have doubts because I was never one to inhale deeply, so how could I be addicted like everyone else? I spent two months tapering down from stinkies after starting vaping and the reason (besides me being a cheap bastitch who was gonna use up all the butts I had already paid for) was that the scientist side of me had to know what it was that I desired and how could I eliminate that need. You can call vaping a placebo effect if you want to, but I discovered my addiction was not the tobacco itself (even though I enjoyed the flavor back then), but to the "suck and blow" satisfaction (so obviously, it is all in my head), which likely stemmed from childhood of watching every adult in my life (including TV and movies) suck on the cigarette, then blow out smoke, and it made them look, somehow, more mature. I started sneaking mom's Marlboro reds when I was 12. A pack a month. She never missed them. Walked a mile down the road to the woods to light up, then sat back and blew some smoke and thought that made me an adult. I stopped for a couple years in high school, probably because none of my close friends smoked, but started again when I joined the USAF (smoke 'em if ya got 'em). But today, I am perfectly happy to suck and blow vapor instead of smoke and it makes no difference to me whether the juice is 18mg or 0mg, the taste and the act of sucking in that taste seem to do the trick. Could I just lay these toys down now? Yes, though I am sure I'd probably chew on the end of my pencil instead, but I won't go back to cigarettes, so no matter what happens with the government, they have lost my cigarette taxes forever!
