Anthony, you and I go way back. A fellow adventurer salutes you!

Snork! How are you ? Gosh speaking of toxic and dubious liquids remember Ethan's (I think his name was Ethan) doubtful WTA liquids? Lol

How's the WTA gear going over at Jerrys? I hope the deeming regs haven't affected him too much.

Yes, that was a good story:
Me: "I have this juice and I think it's poison. I will mail some to you in Australia if you think you'd like to try it."
You: "Sure!"
...
You: "Yes, I think it's poison."

Doesn't get any better than that!

As you can see by this post I haven't changed much but I live to tell the tale !

Someone has to serve and protect society right? Lol

I'll be blunt:

"experienced" and first thing done is to try it?

Not taking a small drop on finger to taste it, not deciding "liquid is cheap enough that this ain't worth it"?

Just "let's fill my lungs with something that could be tile cleaner and see if my life insurance will pay off to my next of kin over this"?

Well, if I use an eliquid that's a little too high than what I'm used to, I'll get a little fuzzy-headed for a few seconds. To me that's kind of a light "high". I've never been to the point where I felt sick - I stop before that. This could just be semantics. <shrug>
Maybe it's semantics, but I don't like to see the word "high" being used with nicotine.
That word implies that we are just drugs addicts seeking a buzz of some kind.

We already have enough people in this world that think that is what we are.
We should be fighting such a perception rather than reinforcing it.

Just my two cents.

It used to be, if I hadn't had a cigarette for an extended period of time, the first one would bring on a mild dizzy/euphoric state for a minute or two. I have NOT experienced that with vaping, ever.

I always attributed that to the carbon monoxide, an ingredient in smoke that we often forget to consider in the equation. I think the CO has a much greater role in the cigarette smoking experience than many give it credit for.

Like ENAUD, I have always attributed that to mild carbon monoxide poisoning.
And I will admit to somewhat enjoying it for the brief period it lasted.

Like maybe 30 seconds, maybe a minute at best.
Pretty much only the first smoke of the day.
:)

It was pretty dumb I admit. It's just that in 7 years that's never happened before and I've tried all kinds of dubious liquids. Usually if a liquid is bad I can tell from the first puff and not go any further. This was the first time one inhale nearly floored me. My work colleague assured me it was vape juice. It smelled like a strong mint.

Maybe it was a mint infused arsenic or ammonia? Lol

Sorry, but that's just too much political correctness for me.

It is what it is. A "mild dizzy/euphoric state" is pretty much a "high" to me.
