I have 3 kabuki, 3 vika fantasy, 5 nautilus 2 and 6 nautilus mini. I don't even use my rebuildables cos those BVC coils are amazingHey everybody! Got a quick question?
Just picked up my first Kabuki, the Titanium version. (diehard nautilus fan here) I'm looking to get spare glass for it. Does the glass I see on fastech fit on the authentic? I can get 5 on there for the price of one of the (org) quartz glasses.
Or is there a better place to get them?
Thx.
Guess What Day It Is ???
Stress smoking was my hardest thing to stamp out. I had no idea I was a stress smoker.... The last few cigarettes I smoked were ONLY due to stress and I found myself thinking, as I smoked it, "Man, this is horrible for me... Is this the cigarette that's going to kill me? I hope so HURRY UP, darn it."
I eventually figured out that I could simply pray to die without actually smoking and achieve a similar effect... But, that's also what my "special" WTA tank is for. LOL. I HATE STRESS SMOKING!!!!!!!! (Doing it or not doing it). Okay, I guess it's stress that I hate. But, I hate not being able to stress smoke, either! Although, I decided LONG ago that if I didn't stamp out every cigarette, I would be a smoker enough to ruin any long term health gains.
I'm fairly certain if my husband died, or my kid, I would go back to smoking for an unspecified period of time, but since neither has happened yet, I try not to think about it. LOL.
A person who hates stress has no need for "imaginary" stress...

I’m back after quite some time away. I quit in 2013, when my mil was dying of cancer. My brother had already been diagnosed. A few months later my husband was as well. He passed February 2015. That completely shattered me. My brother died five months later.
Of all people, I should be motivated to quit 100%. But I’m struggling. Especially the anniversary dates; the day they died, their birthdays, and so many others...I hate myself for not being strong enough.
That’s why I’m back. You folks helped me do it the first time. I ordered a new mod and tank, am mixing up some new juice, and hanging around for support!
Welcome back and condolences. I also lost multiple loved ones in short order and the pain subsides but will always be there. We'll he here for you whether it's fiddling with your new setup or just to hang out and chat.
A decent TH is a must for me too. The reason I'm staying at 6mg and no lower. But I also found that a menthol/koolada juice gives me the best TH outside of smoking. Not the same TH as with cigs but similar enough to keep me vaping.
It's Burnie Day
Welcome back!
My condolences on your losses. Those special dates are so hard to get through. Please don't hate yourself thinking you are not strong enough. When we lose our dearest we do what we have to do to survive. You survived these tragedies…only a strong person does that.
Good luck on your journey back to vaping. We're all here for you

I own a bunch of Kabukis. Do not "ruin" a Ti with cheap glass from FT. Buy the good stuff from House of Hybrids or ZFO. Zen's poly tanks are good too. PM me if you need links.
Welcome back and I'm sorry to hear about your losses, it sounds like a horrible and overwhelming period in your life. I sure hope you aren't beating yourself up about returning to smoking. I try not to "plan" ahead, but if someone close to me died, I am fairly sure I would have a hard time not returning to cigarettes, stress smoking was my hardest behavior to stamp out.
I hope transitioning goes smoothly, and yes, we will all be rooting for you and hoping for your success, even if there are a few "hurdles" along the way.
But, you did it before, and you can do it again. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

@DeloresRose, I remember seeing you around the forums. I'm so sorry for your losses. Hang tough, Sister. You have many friends here. Take your time. No one judges. Reach out for help, if you want. We'll be here.
Such a sad saga. Never hate yourself. You'll be fine and we'll be here for your questions and support.
Yes now I have been down that road myself too. I am grateful the urge has been removed from me today. Nothing good ever comes from it.

So I am still havng success with the salt nic liquid to get me thru those hard lumps and bumps during the day. Also came to the conlusion this morning that I do not want to give up that morning smoke,at least not today. I am ok with it for now at least thats what I tell myself.
That's a hard one to give up…and if you can't give it up don't feel bad…congratulate yourself for giving up all the others you used to smoke each day
I gave up my first cigarette of the day first. It was the hardest one, but I know me. If I woke up and smoked, I'd be smoking all day.
You are making fantastic progress however. You might try the delay strategy.... It's what I did to get rid of that cigarette. Day one, I told myself I could smoke after 20 minutes of vaping, etc., and I just slowly moved it out further and further. Eventually, I got to my first smoke free day (I was shocked!) but the strategy did work out for me as over time, I developed the habit of just vaping in the morning a while, until I wasn't thinking about smoking as much.
However, if you still "need" that a.m. cigarette, then you do. There isn't a lot wrong (in my opinion) in getting yourself down to only one cigarette a day, and you will give it up when you are ready. You're already getting good success with vaping, and reducing your harm as far as smoking pretty steadily and etc.
Best of luck as you continue transitioning (at your speed... it is really the only speed that makes sense for you to use).

Morning smoke is hard for me too, so is after meals. I vape till I'm nic sick to stay off cigarettes.
When I was dual using for almost 2 months before I finally had my last smoke, those were my worst smokes to give up, too. I did something though, that definitely helped me do it.
I was used to having my first morning smoke with a cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer in it. So, even though throughout the day I was vaping 6mg eliquids...I got some Vanilla Bean eliquid and some Coffee eliquid, each @ 11mg nic, and mixed the 2 of them to vape with my morning coffee. For use right after lunch and dinner, I got some Chocolate Mint eliquid at 11mg nic. It tasted like the little Andes Chocolate + Creme de Menthe candies I'd sometimes eat after a meal. Both of those are what finally helped me give up the smokes I was used to having at those times.
