Good morning everyone, got all caught up, wish I was all caught up with stuff I need to get done around the house. lol
Got into a Best Ink marathon on tv last night, I know this sounds really weird for an old woman to watch tattoo shows, but honestly I find them fascinating and I really learn a lot from them that I can put to use in my own artwork.
I did read everything, but life becons, on phone now.

I gotta say that it sounds like your playing with fire there. That's in addition to immune disorders which from my info is highly reactive to stress. Your in a bind though. I don't think it's possible to live anywhere in the US just on disability.
Good morning everyone! Got a little errands run this morning, got a little cleaning done in the living room. Looks less like a hog-pen and more like a pigsty now. Now by days end it will be more like a hurricane came through.
Hope you all have a great day today!
Hope you all have a great day today!
(Drum roll please) Today is my 6 month anniversary of quitting smoking!!! WooHoo!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I think there should be a I love it button, and I think that is so funny, and I am so happy for you that this is your 6 month anniversary button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I got half my kitchen floor mopped, hopefully the second half before the day is over.
I tried to respond to last night's posts and beyond not really knowing what to say other than I'm sorry you are all going through all of these things, it seems everytime I try to respond the phone rings, he starts talking to me, I nod off. Apparently I am not meant to respond at the moment for some reason.

I'm celebrating my vapiversary by doing a double at work!!! Wait...what?
Yes, I am sure it doesn't help any of my physical problems, but it isn't the cause, this is been going on since I'm 18 yrs old, progressively worsening. I was hospitalized multiple times for neck and back problems since then, it runs in my family, my father had surgery on his neck at age 32 for a congenital condition, mine isn't as bad as his. I also saw rheumatologists since I was 15, and so on, the diabetes is just icing on the cake with all its friends that come hand in hand. I'm actually very fortunate to be very large boned, I might escape the broken bones that plagued my mother.
As for escape, I am going to take a wait and see attitude, maybe I can talk him into seeing a doctor still.
So, Today, we are all going to tell about what we are currently using to Vape. How it evolved and what didn't and did work for you to help you quit. Mix that up with funny and music and we have a great time!
I started with gas station cig-a-likes, I bought three different ones to experiment with, I thought they would b e good for the car, or for when I had people come over to minimize their discomfort. I thought they were ok, one even tasted good, but I wasn't getting what I needed. I started looking online for answers, found a few companies that had cig-a-likes, eventually I bought 2 different kits (I still had some money back then) I bought V2's and Volts from Smokeless Image. Both were nice kits and they worked for me to cut down to 4-5 cigarettes per day. V2 did not have a step up, so I went back to Smokeless Image online and got 2 1100 Mah ego style 808 connector batts. These made all the difference and I quit smoking for about 4 months. I suddenly got a severe cold and could not vape (i tried, believe me) So, I went back to smoking. STUPID ME. I should have tried the patch at that point, it might have worked. Anyway, even after the cold, I had to combine smoking and vaping. I finally quit again, for a couple of months and got another cold, low and behold, I smoked again. STUPID ME. I should have tried the patch this time. So now its been about 5-6 weeks of ding both again.
In between all of this I still either purchased or won a few things spinners, a Bolt, 3 Vamos, Zmax Mini (almost the same as Vamo really), then my sweet Innokin VV V3 came into my life. I found happiness, this was a game changer, the Vamo and Zmax and good but heavy and not as comfortable to hold, they give me what I need but aren't practical for me, but the VV V3 was perfection- the short battery life. I PIF'd what I couldn't use any more or didn't want, and kept the ones that worked for me. I got 4 people started with my old kits and ego batts and 2 people in our group here, got an upgrade from their old equipment. I started my nephew and his girlfriend too. Even grumpy roommate uses an e-cig now and again.
For what to use as an atomizer, this changes on me all the time, some days I consider BCC to be best for me with a cooler vape. Other days, I am a top coil girl that needs the warmth like it's a cigarette.
I recently won a Provari on Facebook, I have not gotten it yet so I don't know if I will like it. I still enter every contest I see. I don't know if I need anything else but while I haven't quit smoking something is wanting. I need to buy WTA flavored juice as soon as I have money, that is another game changer. I had some and it really helps.
So, between my good fortune of winning most of my best equipment, and all of the help I get from all of you. I will not give up. I plan to be smoke free and that is my goal. If, along the way I stumble and fall, I pick myself back up and start again. I am worth it!!!!!!!!!

Karen Karen Karen, you do this on a day when I am trying to force myself to get up from the computer and get some real life stuff done. lol
A little over a year ago Cliff's cousin moved here from MD and we are the only people she knows here and I got elected to run all over creation with her, she does not smoke and I was going crazy not only trying to keep up with her but grabbing a puff here and there when I could, of course no smoking in her car. Last summer I saw the cig-a-likes and wondered if that might be something I could use to make all of this easier on me, having to get up at the crack of dawn to run around with her was bad enough, and she is an organizer planner person, I tend to go with the flow and I stay up most of the night and am NOT, I repeat NOT a morning person. To tell the truth she was driving me up a wall and still does at times.
Anyway back to the story, I picked up a Blu disposable and tried it, hmmmm that's not half bad, I like it, but it is soooooooo expensive, went down to the local smoke shop to see what they had that was rechargeable and picked up a kit and some menthol cartos. I liked it pretty well and decided to to a web search for an ecig forum where I could actually learn what was good to use and what sucked and the first one to pop up was this one. I went into the new member section and asked a few questions and got a lot of answers from a lot of nice helpful people.
Next step I ordered an eGo c Twist kit that came with two batteries a charger and two vision clearomizers after realizing that the first whole day with the ecig I had only smoked 4 cigarettes all day, hmmmmmm, I didn't intend to quit just have something handier when I was out and about, but this ecig tasted better than the cig did. When my kit and some juice arrived I really liked it and was down to 2 cigs a day without even thinking about it, hmmmmmmmmmm. OK so I stayed there for a couple of weeks and in that time found all the places to order stuff from and kept reading and vaping and liking it a lot so I thought ok, lets try this eRoll thing, nice and small and discreet, easy to carry around, easier than the eGo which still seemed huge to me.
This was around the time I found this particular thread and had started posting, Lox got an iTazte vv v3 and loved it so I decided to get one, I was still looking for that right juice and vaping primarily 24 mg MBV 555 menthol that I liked a lot, tried a few others some bakery, some fruit, not impressed, and then found a local place and tried their Chai Tea Latte, I was in heaven but I'm getting ahead of myself here.
I chatted with all the nice people here and a few of them were actually quitting completely and by this time my vape was tasting way way better than the cigs, actually they were starting to tasty horrible so I thought ok lets give this a try and smoked 1 a day for about two days when the last one was so awful I nearly gagged. So I decided to just quit, Cliff still smokes so there was no avoiding cigarettes, there was a pack laying on the kitchen counter all the time, so I gave myself permission to smoke one whenever I really wanted one, but a week went by and I hadn't smoked at all. I went ahead at this point and got myself a banner and put it in my sig, had I not done that I would have smoked again, but knowing that I would have to reset or remove the banner that everyone saw if I had even one cig kept me from having that one cig.
It was rough for a while but I toughed it out and shortly after the two month mark the urge to smoke left and has only returned a couple of times and only for brief moments, now I crave vape not smoke.
I continued to get different toppers to try but at that time preferred the IClear 16s that came with my vv v3 which was my preferred device. I kept trying new juices and still hadn't found an ADV although the MOV CTL was close, I kept reading about the FDA regs coming and got worried so I got a SMOK SID so I would have something with replaceable batteries and stocked up on some juice to have in case, and some unflavored nic too.
Shortly after that I decided to try the Nickoticket line as I had read such good things about it and tried their Creme Brule, hmmmmm it was a bit overpowering at first but I knew to let it steep and it is now my favorite ADV along with several other NT juices.
The last few weeks I have ventured into dripping and rebuilding and am now using a ProVari, I wanted a really dependable PV with replaceable batteries, with a Trident Clone RDA, Aspire ET-S, Vision Eternity RDA/RBA. combo that I won at GotVapes weekly contest and on occassion a couple of 510 bridgeless attys.
I have reduced my nic level to primarily 6mg with an occassional 12 or 18 and if I'm having a rough day I may dip into one of the 24mg bottles I have left for just a little while, but usually will mix it with some 6 mg.
I hope to be at the 6 mg exclusively soon and only plan to go to 0 if FDA forces me to since nicotine is so far the only substance known to inhibit Alzheimers and I do have a family history of that.
OK now that I've bored all of you to death back to the regluar program. LOL

I love you both! You may have just helped someone! Or me!!!!!!!!!! Aikanae, I know the video made me giggle!
Claudia, you did a great job, I appreciate it!
Wow, happy Vape-iversary Thaya! Good for you, and a thousand dancing pickles are heading your way. Well, a thousand imaginary dancing pickles. 
Aik another new Avi, I LOVE it!! I'm too lazy to change mine. So nyah. . .
I had to go to Vaping Zone today, man were they packed. I asked if it was busy from New Years Resolution Quitters, and was told no, it's not any busier than it usually is. I picked up a new Kanger MT3S which looks exactly like the knockoff I bought from FT last time. I finally broke my last Evod, and was down to using ONE device all day yesterday. Bummer. So now I can fill up the new clearo and fire up the Vamo again, my old work horse.
Long story short. Vaped for close to 2 years before quitting. My username was a big fat lie for all that time. Found this lovely group, read up on variable wattage/variable voltage, read up on WTA, found a good topper that wasn't too finicky (well, not too too bad anyway) and finally decided that I was not going to give up any other luxuries in my life such as cell phone service or internet at home. I really did not have the money to smoke any more. So since I had all this vape gear lying around and since I had spent a mint on WTA liquids I just decided to quit. One Thursday I ran out, because I gave away the last 1 or 2 cigs in my pack that day if I recall correctly. And through knowledge, willpower, practice, and my friends here on this thread, I finally quit.
My preferred device is the Vamo, followed closely by the itaste vv v3, with either a T3 or an Evod on top, and my own DIY liquids at 24 mg. I stopped buying WTA liquids since they were so expensive and out of stock so frequently, then I stopped buying store-bought liquids altogether. If you're quitting or cutting back, this thread is the place to be. Hand holding, hugs, .... kickings, cheerleading, whatever you need at any given time, you'll definitely find it here.
