I use to get it by my nose, and cheeks, and it was always most prominent after playing with juices. i'd bet it was definitely the juice. i use those hair dye'ing gloves now to fill tanks and play with juices.

Well, we aren't 100% sure of the cause, the pv is a reo and it doesn't leak per se but he tends to be messy filling the bottle. He'll wash his hands, but only wipes the outside of the pv (and it always smells of cinnamon). The liquid became prime suspect when, after a bright red spot showed up on the one leg, he changed pockets & it started on *that* leg, too. I'll mention the poison oak/ivy possibility, though.

Thanks!

Most chemical rash/burns will typically fade away pretty quick once the cause is removed... probably just a day or so.

A poison ivy will start looking rash like and develop into a batch of closely grouped tiny blisters that can last a couple of weeks typically unless the person is very allergic, in which cases will last much longer. Considering that it sounds like it moved with the PV... I'd doubt an ivy type of allergy as well...

Bry'bro knocks it out of the park' on EVERYTHING, so this has GOT to work.
will say a prayer for you right now that your partner gets it right this time.

Took me a ton of hit and misses to quit smoking with juices', and finally got it right.
It REALLY is about the juice, if its something you dont like, the smokes' are right there, you know'?

I still smoke an occasional cigarette, but theyre getting farther and few between'.

It will be three years in August for me, but the first six weeks were just awful. Cigarettes were so much easier than dealing with the equipment; the learning curve sent me skidding right over the cliff. I don't have cravings anymore, but will probably always think of myself as "at risk"...and that's probably for the best.

You can't beat yourself up for sliding, it's way more productive to not stop celebrating the cigarettes UNsmoked.

I hear ya punk'in,

I cant even stand the taste of them anymore , i have zero, absolutely no tobacco juices right now, (waiting unpatiently for bry'bro's 2 bottles of FRENCH PIPE to get here as we speak), and i know that is usually when i hit a smoke', because desserts can only go so far when you get a stress moment and dont feel like sucking on a dessert', now that i think about it, that is really the only time i'll grab one of those stale smokes. when it just gets too bad'. I am never ever ever going to stock up like this again, like ever', all desserts and fruits and no tobacco ones'...dummbass me.

I'm heading into my 6th month of vaping, and 2 weeks into it I recall going over to my sister's (who I also converted) and her husband had the great idea of lighting up to see what we were "missing".

I had one drag. It tasted so bad I did not want anymore. I haven't had any real high stress moments during this time though, so I am sure I would be whistling a different tune possibly if that were the case. The most important thing is to just take it one day at a time. The smokes had us in chains so to speak and it's hard to stop, we all know that. I have a high mg juice for the times I have a craving..and I DO have them. Sometimes it's pretty bad. I put that juice on and it does help, it has a crazy TH too which helps even more.

So I understand ya Meems, and it's ok, you took the most important step! Whatever juice keeps you goin' through the cravings make sure you never run out of! :D

Thanks Cynder'ella.

When you had that drag', didnt it remind me you of when you were a kid taking your first puff?, it had the same exact taste , it was really weird when i picked one up after a few months on juice. reminding me of my very first one. strange.
yah no, do you see me beating my head against a wall?", i'm not going to punish myself if i lose it to a smoke every now and then. nothing will ever be as bad as almost two packs a day, like ever'.

I actually had one yesterday. I don't know why, I just wanted one. 32 years is a hard habit to break. But I think I'm doing pretty darn good....about 5 or 6 in nearly 4 months!!!! Whoo Hooo!! THAT is success in my book.
BTW, hazelnut cream....heavenly.

It's been almost 6 months for me analog free :) Last time I had a cigarette, I had brought a dead battery to work, so bought a pack at the gas station.

Could only manage three cigarettes and had a pounding headache the rest of the day. I guess I'm stuck vaping no matter what:p

Congrats to all of you for staying off cigarettes on a regular basis :toast:

Yup no sense beatin' yourself up, it's all good. No more smoke talk. hehe so I was talking to my mom and she says to me "I don't get much vape". I'm not sure at first as to what she means and then figure out she isn't getting much vapor. I watch her and sure enough, not much vapor. I hand her my KGO and she had a nice plume. I told her I think it's time for an upgrade to her 808's. :D I tried hers and the draw was so horrid stiff it was like sucking a sock up through a straw.

I don't know how she can even use them, and I'm not sure what happened to them, they weren't like that brand new! So me thinks we're gonna be shopping for a KGO for her (she wants nothing to do with anything bigger lol)

Yeah, thats kinda how i felt, when i went from a KGO to a PROVARI V2....

hahahahahahah..........dont hit me!, i'll hit you back'....

by the way , i'm sooo happy!, i just did a full out trade on the ecf classifieds, about ten minutes ago, traded my PROVARI MINI V2 with BLUE LED and 4 18350 batteries with a dude, for a Satin full sized PROVARI V2 with 18650 exten. and possibly some batteries. red led. which i dont care about anyway. no more switching batteries so often! yay!!!! ..i was shocked to see how many people Pm'd me so fast, like in seconds. crazy man'.

haha. I use both my KGO and Provari (my Provari does not leave the house, I cannot afford to lose it or break it). I always have 2 flavors going at once. :D The provari ends up being in my hands more often, true...lol. Though for my mom it's a HUGE difference from her tiny little 808. I think she'll be happy not to be charging batteries every 2 hours as well.

Heck yeah those blue LED's are a hot little item..especially if they are out of them over at provape. I'm not sure haven't checked! I don't care about the LED color either myself.
