Chantix is an absolute nono for me. I toyed with the idea for a while until I found out that increases suicidal thoughts. Then I realized that an ego kit cost just the same as the full 3 month treatment of Chantix.

I agree with you about the people from this forum, I'm afraid I leave someone out and will get angry, but I thank them ALL for the insight that pours from here every day!

Not to mention, she has the best "dressed" PVs on the forums. The Provari pirate is my favorite. :laugh:

what makes me laugh is the list of side effects from chantix, it sounds exactly like quitting cold turkey, so whats the pill for?

Create more problems than it's worth... I was on antidepressives for a long time and all I got was being a walking dead...

Doc prescribed me some antidepressant a long time ago:

-These pills might give you anxiety.

That makes perfect sense, instead of being depressed I'll have anxiety!

No soup for you!

I've read that too. Let's take a person who has been told over and over that smoking risks not only their lives, but the lives of their family and everyone around them. They have tried to quit smoking numerous times without success, and with each failed attempt they feel more frustrated, depressed, anxious and angry at themselves....

I have an idea! Let's give them something that increases suicidal ideation! If they don't quit smoking, maybe they'll kill themselves! That will get rid of second-hand smoke! :blink:

I am very honored to be included on the list, but I can tell you for a fact it wouldn't have bothered me if I wasn't. I know it wouldn't bother anyone else either. This is a way to give back to a community that saved my life. It's also a place for me to make snarky comments and crack jokes since I don't know many vapers in real life and I'm on ECF so much no one understands what I'm talking about anymore.

Humble and wise. Like a thinner, feline version of Buddha. You are a snarky little predator, though.

I base my life on the teachings of Thrasher and Baditide!

Great guys and great assets here. I try to help when I can I'm still goofy old Butters that doesn't know any better lol.

I'd like to give a shout out to Donnah who helped me when I was nervous about diy. Oh and super X drifter who helped me with Microcoils by startingthat great thread. Microcoils got me the courage to try mesh. There are many others that helped me as well.

Plus the people that supported me when I made the thread about me being in the hospital. It helped a lot.

Oh Eric.. I want to be just like you when I grow up! :blush:

My personal hero is Rule62.. If he has it, I want it! If he does it, I want to do it too and do it just like he does! (I just hope he doesn't jump off a bridge) :blink:

and yes.. Thank you Thrasher and Baditude.. you've helped me more than you know! (I just wish Baditude had been around when I was first using carto tanks!)

Makes you wonder. The way BP and FDA abuse statistics the Chantix related fatalities are probably included in the successfully quit smoking category...

Oh gawd I know! I went thru that before I found ecf. I'm strong on it. Too many Pyrex tanks of various styles. I'm torn between dripping, bottom feeders, Pyrex tanks/cartos, eRolls. This is great! There was a time I only wished I could find a sweet spot on just one device! This Winter I'm going to devote a lot of time to rebuildables. Thankfully I have what I want to play with already stocking up for judgement day. So I think it's JuiceJunky I wanted to mention too. He had an avatar of Kiefer Sutherland look alike..or if that was him WOW. He did a pictorial of rebuilding that was beyond awesome. I don't know if it just me or other people feel the same. I usually don't have the patience for videos. If there is a key point I don't get I can't sit there and retread, look harder leave open for reference. There are good ones but that pictorial nailed it for me and suddenly I don't know why I made such a big deal of it all. Well...no hot pots and saw firing all happen and wicking issues etc... Changing ohms but a lot of premade Atties change ohms. Rambling on....there could be dozens if I would pay better attention to things. And all for free. Without ecf the not o good expensive cig a like companies would be really taking advantage of this scene

    All of the above mentioned folks have surely been an asset to the community!!

    I would surely like to also nominate Vapor-eyes-er tho, I believe he has a cot set-up in the Newcomers forum and doesn't get out here that often.

    Quite a wealth of info the man has........

    I also like how the other newcomers spread their enthusiasm!

    There are sooooo many that really should get mentioned. Hula is another one that jumps in when she sees misinformation going around. A lot of very smart people in this forum. A LOT! :D
    There really are some very helpful folks here. Patiently answering my asinine questions, because I don't have the patience to watch videos ;) Just wish I could remember all the user names :)

    I have learned something from everyone mentioned above, especially Baditiude. With much patience and good information I made the progression from Blu to Ego Twist to ProVaris, carto tanks, and RBAs.

    I celebrated my birthday today by buying a mech mod and attending a Vape Meet. I talked to some newbies, and realized how far I have come and how much I have learned. What I like most about this community of vapers is how supportive everyone is. And to top it off, I won another mech mod in the raffle.

    Funny when I got here, I never really intended to quit smoking cigarettes. Now it's a hobby, and I don't want to ever leave. :)
