Vaping: The One Drawback

[B Pak]

Since vaping can dehydrate you, and even the slightest change in your hydration levels can cause issues in that area, I'd make sure to keep up on the water intake. Sorry, I didn't read through, it may have been said already.

Yeah I think someone did mention drinking more water (along with 872348 other remedies haha), and I'm sure it helps. To be honest though, I won't ever really be able to tell since I've been drinking at least 8-10 cups of water everyday even before I started vaping. It's all I drink, I quit drinking sodas and all those other sugary drinks a long time ago. That stuff is a trap just like those cigarettes were. I wouldn't consider my irregularity severe, just different from when I was smoking.

Right now I'm rotating between all the tobacco flavors from Backwoods brew

I'm not familiar with them.

In my case Dekang's 555 did it for me and now I don't crave for analogs anymore.

Hope you find your way

Thanks buddy I appreciate it

Haha I know exactly what you mean, I too remember spinning in circles waiting for that darn mailman to bring me my first kit. I'm pretty confident that it'll work for you, although it isn't always an easy transition. One of the biggest things will probably be finding a juice that works for you. Just keep at it and always hit up the forum with any questions/problems you run in to. Your morning deuces are soon to become irregular

Hilarious how similar we creatures are. My first mod just arrived today. A PS Prodigy V3.1 with all the attachments. I've been using a NJoy NPro for a while and it just doesn't even get close to full satisfaction. But it did get me off the stinky sticks for a few days while I waited for the real deal to arrive. I've been checking the tracking for four days now morning, noon , and night, watching its progress towards my front door.

I've been sitting here enjoying it for about six hours now. I was lucky enough to have the foresight to order the PS Mega Sampler Pack with it, so I have 22 flavors to play with. I highly recommend this approach to new vapers. I'm not even half way through them and I've already found a half dozen flavors that I really like. Fire and Ice, Curtis' Coffee, and Peach Menthol are my three favorites so far. Go figure... Peach Menthol?

I think my next move will be to buy the low voltage kit for it, so that I can see what the difference is at low voltage. I've heard that some flavors are better at 3.7 and some at 5-6 volts too.

I'll cross my fingers for you that your new PV arrives soon. I certainly felt your pain until I got home this evening.


VAPIN' was here..... Where might he be next?

LOL, there are traps everywhere. I love all of the health food traps too. I've got people swearing they are going to lose weight by switching to juice which has the same amount of calories. Sure, there is some fiber and vitamins, but . . . come on. It's funny. Just drink some water already. I've made it a "funny in my own eyes" habit of asking people if they have change so I can get a soda from the machine. When they say no, I say "Oh, that's OK, I'll just get some of this free water from the cooler. It's better for me anyway."

Humanity, right? I watched a video on youtube tonight about the Darwin E-Cig and it looked pretty beast. You can alter the voltage instantly from 4.2V-I think 12.? But anyways, it looked pretty neat. Maybe something worth looking into?

Thank you! It said it was in my city, so I too am crossing my fingers/praying that it arrives tomorrow (Saturday mail is always so fickle!)

@B-Pak - I went with the menthol mostly because I smoke menthols and find it hard to smoke anything but menthol BUT as I am coming to learn smoking and vaping = TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES...so this could easily change instantly, just in case I bought two flavors that were not menthol and my kit comes with the Reg. tobacco flavor too, so I should have a good start (I hope!) The 420!, I have no idea what it'll taste like LOL, but it was one of those impulse buys ya know. $2.00, why not right?

The only thing I am worried/curious about now is my atomizers (I hope they're good! and not dry/broke immediately because I didn't buy any extras )AND having to figure out how to get the gunky crap off right away so it doesn't taste like crap (someone explained how somewhere, but I cannot find it!)

Hahaha yeah man, Vitamin "Water", plus like 30 grams of sugar lol..

I think most people will blow out as much of the primer as the can from the atty by putting your mouth around the battery-end of the atty (side with the threads). It won't get rid of all of it though. After that I drip some liquid (or put on a cartridge) and take a couple long drags without inhaling it to vape off the remaining primer. The taste might linger for a little while, but it'll be gone before you know it.

Oh, sweet. Thank you! See, when that was first explained to me I was surely confused. But after a couple of days of reading, I think I'll have little to no problems when it arrives! Thanks again!

Month and a half in and its still that way for me.

 

[hippiebrian]

O.K., this is going to sound strange, but here goes.

I remember back in the day when we all smoked inside. One of my favorite things to do was light up as soon as I sat down, if you know what I mean. Something really satisfying about that.

Well, times changed somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's, and most everyone I knew, including myself, suit smoking indoors. I missed the morning smoke with the constitutional for a while, but then forgot about it.

Until now! Hate to say it, but vaping while, umm, sitting is just as satisfying, if not more so, than smoking was! One more reason actually that vaping is better than smoking!

 

[Disparaging Shriek]

The amount of openness amongst forum members is astounding. (doodie)

 

[randyith]

I to remember the days of being able to smoke inside. I remember working for a Fortune 500 company, sitting in my cube puffing away, when I heard the news on the Radio of the first Iraq war starting. Back then the only places I remember you could not smoke in were elevators, libraries, schools, police stations and courthouses. We come a long way. In another 10 years you'll see analog smokers being handcuffed and hauled away to jail on the TV show COPS. Just a thought ..............

 

[Craig645]

Randyith, I can relate 100%. I still work for a Fortune 500 company....smoking is taboo, of course. Now I can vape silently in the stall. Not an overly pleasant experience but beats going down 6 floors and standing outside. Probably don't want to get caught or will end up as you say (LOL).

I remember when they first started having non-smoking sections in restaurants. Non-smokers got their own little section segregated from everyone else so they would stop .....ing. lol

We are rapidly approaching a quit or die scenario. I think in the not too distant future it will be impossible to get any job or keep your job if you test positive for nicotine. So unless someone is independently wealthy we will be forced to decide between using nicotine or keeping our homes and feeding our families.

The elite-st mentality is to make us all the same.Any divergence of individual freedom is discouraged as evil.People such as smokers go against the grain.For everyone to conform to the group think philosophy,our desire for free choice will be taken from us starting with the things that seem good to restrict,such as smoking,unhealthy food,large vehicles,non conformist religion and now vaping.Hold on to your cause this rides gonna get bumpy,(in my opinion).
