What Am I Vaping After Almost Three Years?

[FAUXPUFF]

So I started vaping (smoking an electronic cigarette, as we called them in those days) in January of 2008. First it was a DSE-103 with "tobacco" carts. Then, a Janty Yentl (remember those?). Next came the Dekang juice. Then it was the 901, and with it came the Johnson Creek. Then a Janty Stick, V1, with the 801, then the famous E9, and the introduction to cartomizers. Then Vapor4life's KR808-D1, and about a hundred different flavors of cartos. Then the mods. 10440's 14500's 18-whatevers. At this time I tried a hundred different tobacco juices, trying to find my holy grail. Got sick of cartos, got sick of mods.

So where am I now?

Ego 650mah batt from Liberty Flights, $16.
Low Resistance Mega Cylinder Atomizer from Eastmall, $7.50.
Mega Cartridge with Blue Foam from Petsmart, $1.00.
Alternating between Peach, 24mg, and Applewood Tobacco, 24mg, from Backwoods Brew.

I couldn't be happier!

Thought I would share my journey with all of you...

Glad to see you are still vaping and enjoying the experience! Thanks for the update. BwB does have some pretty good mixes.

Congrats on 3 years and finding your happy place, Fauxpuff!

Thank you for sharing with us...
Hell I haven't even heard of a couple of those before
Cool, its always nice to learn about the dinosaurs or antique type models.
Chow 4 now-see you around

Thanks indeed! You're a pioneer compared to nearly all of us. With your years' experience, I'm glad to see that your latest choice of hardware isn't all that different from mine! Except, I haven't gotten to the BWB juice yet. I intend to remedy that later this week though.

So my question is how is your health? any long term problems or issues? What if anything do you think e cigs contribituted to or took away from your health?

I run a mile a day now. Couldn't run from the livingroom to the kitchen before. I would say I feel great!

Thanks so much for sharing. It's nice to hear from someone who has been doing this awhile. I'd enjoy hearing more from you about how other things have changed for you as well. How has your juice consumption changed over the years? Do you still enjoy vaping as much as you did in the beginning? You know, things that you might have wondered about in your first year. Thanks and Congrads on almost 3 years!

 

[FAUXPUFF]

My juice consumption is about the same, at around 3ml a day...
I do enjoy vaping now as much as I did in the beginning, thanks to Don at Backwoods Brew.
A few months ago I was sick of everything; the hardware, the juice, the fiddling around...
I was ready to quit vaping (and pick up cigarettes again?) when I discovered Don's juices. He saved the vape for me.
Also, the mega cylinder atty+cart helps, as I just fill the cart once a day and top off once at night.

I'm curious about this also. I feel really great, lungs clear, no coughing etc. but......and would like to hear a reply from any long time vapor pros. And are you going to eventually reduce the nicotine mgs?

 

[FAUXPUFF]

I see no reason to reduce nic mgs for the moment, I still enjoy the nicotine rush...
If and when I am ready to kick nicotine altogether, I will reduce to 6mg and see if I can quit.

Am I the only one using the LR Mega Cylinder Atties with Carts successfully?
Everywhere I see mention of LR atties people are saying they are for dripping only.
I am using the blue foam fishtank filters and it works like a charm.
Just wondering what other vapers' experiences have been.

Ok so this looks like where I want to be, but not really sure how to get there, I am so overloaded with information that my head is spinning, is there a starter kit? can I just get the separate parts that I would need? I am still finding the right juice for me so no issue there, but I really want a unit that will be the one that I use and not have to fiddle with to much, Right now I have a m4 (that is all I know it as) and I am constantly topping off changing batteries blowing out the atty, all day long. just seems like I could be so much happier with less work.

hmmm quote thing didnt work. oh well..

I also use them but lately they all seem to be leaking like crazy. I've been reading some of the ECF posts from back in 2008 by way of the WayBackMachine. We've come a long way! It's funny reading some of the questions and comments by our veteran members when they first started. LOL I hope no one ever reads mine!! OMG I was so stupid!

 

[foggy1]

Hey, GoodDog, fellow east bay vaper ! Just got my mega atty's & carts and love them !
still using poly but that may change and will try the LR's
Now, how does this WayBackMachine work ? (I added to fav's)
