Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a couple of days and thought I should say hello. :)
It seems I might just fit in here fairly well, I 'm still smoking 2 a day and I'm NOT a morning person, well maybe a little cause my other half is such a night owl he makes me look like a morning person, lol.
I also used to have a Sebring convertable, but now drive a bright orange HHR.

Welcome, Claudia! Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. We have all types here and I'm sure you'll fit right in.



And a big HI to everyone else. I've been AWOL the past couple of days. Working that double plus extra midnight shifts really messes up my sleep and my mood, but I think I'm almost okay now.

Shari, congrats on nabbing a stash of your beloved Gold!

Hope to be on the right track for the workweek tomorrow. Finding motivation for this day is hard.

The baby sister is coming over later, the one I always smoke with. I don't feel any urge to smoke now, nor did I yesterday, but I have a feeling this is going to be tough. The old nose is starting to work again, so I'm sure once I get near her the cravings will stampede all over me. Wish me luck!!

Hmmm...Wonder if your lil' sis would like to try vaping for a few hours?
Did you ever treat yourself for making it through the week?

Well, between the 2 backup winders i bought and now the Gold I have blown another month's budget. First time I have not paid the cc balance in full in years. Getting started adds up. I will check her out, but spending money is on hold for at least the next month. I have to stop looking at stuff. Next month. Think I said that before. :facepalm:

Hooray!

Consider it an "investment" unless you throw your pv on the ground and put them "out" (LOL!) They last a bit longer than a carton does - so yes, it is an investment in your health and that's hard to put a price tag on. Once you gear up, other than juice and consumables or backups, the rest is a choice. The way I look at it is that the excitment of new stuff is just another part keeping me off the ciggies. Once that habit is broken, then I can back off and work on reducing nic, etc. As usual, everyone's different.

BTW: I have discovered that $15 Gripper (Madvapes) + extension ($3) + Bauway clearo ($2) has become my mod of choice, out of all my more expensive vv/vw devices. A 18350 battery lasts 2 days in it and slips into my purse easy. It delivers a consistant, reliable vape with a ton of vapor (I wish it was made of sturdier materials). Money isn't everything. I really wish I was into industrial design because I'd sure like to play around with improving on this little thing. There are so few mods out of China that go through improvement revisions - with the exception of Vamo and Zmax.

I can almost guarentee you that whenever vapers get together, there will be juice swaps. I can't wait to hear about it. Are you going to let them take your picture?

No, eating actually helps due to the creation of saliva:)
With BMS it is normal to feel better in the morning with increasing pain throughout the day ... according to my research anyway:)

That's interesting. I wonder how much dry mouth might be playing a part? Dryness is a part of menopause. Just a thought.

She thinks vaping is gross. I left her my Indulgence setup while she was hospitalized and she did use it, because of desperation, but did not like it. She has been going out on the porch all afternoon and I'm sitting here under the a/c vaping my brains out. Still no desire to have a cig, thank goodness!

Yes, I treated myself but not in the way I was going to! I bought more vape gear [that was against the rules] and had a fantastic huge brownie sundae! For my next treat it will be getting a "stopped" banner, although that might backfire because I'll keep finding excuses to treat myself.

Good afternoon all!


Congrats to you FQ! I knew you were close, now you're there...glad to see your cravings seem to be less.

I'm still miserable, but need to get house cleaning done today...back to smoking part-time again and hating it. Who would have thought smoking actually keeps some health issues under control? But it's gross and I don't like it. BF woke me up in the middle of the night because my throat had closed up and I was making a lot of noise trying to exhale. He said he's actually getting scared for me. :( I woke up with a very painful tonsil/gland on one side. I will be glad when I can see my doc again!

LOL! It's amazing how vape gear always sneaks it's way into the list of choices, even when it's not on the list. I gave up. I think it's part of making the transition exciting and successful. Another weird natural physical law like gravity in my book. I've heard that with enough time, stinkies loose their appeal and it sounds like you've made it.

Of course you need to celebrate your success with a treat!!!

Oh definitely the dry mouth thing going on yes! And the menopause and the BMS:blink:
Just gotta figure out how to back out of some of it :) Maybe I should swallow a bottle of lotion? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This will have to do I guess {{{{{{Alisa}}}}}}} :(

Do NOT swallow lotion! LOL!! Once you get the all clear from the OS, go get some Biotene. Maybe that will help?

It's OK...as they say, this too shall pass. I'm still positive that I'll be able to quit smoking and stay vaping. I'm just waiting.... :rolleyes:

I just bought a small bottle of unflavored WTA from WholeCig, since Aroma was out of just about everything. I'm hoping that the VG isn't really the problem, and I can vape this OK. I'm also thinking about getting some of that Anatabloc (if anyone following my link) if the doc discovers I'm hypo. Mom thinks so, just from seeing and listening to me. Get this...when I went to her house a few weeks ago to see my brother who was visiting from out of town, she says she didn't recognize me, my face and neck had puffed up and I had gained so much weight! She hadn't seen me in about a month. My profile pic was taken in March this year, and I can guarantee I don't look like that anymore.

{{{{{Alisa}}}}} I hate to "like" your posts. Please feel better soon!

Sister finally went home, taking my 3 year old nephew out of my hair. Wow, a houseful of boys today, the 2 older nephews from SIL on s/o's side, then they went home and the little one came. Her oldest son was with friends, talk about a handful! ADHD and emphasis on the H, he can NOT be still. I don't know how she does it.

I'll stick with girls, and she says to me "I don't know how you do it!"

Practice!

Hey Everyone!

Shari: I'm glad you found another place to order NLV. I looked for it the other night on the internet and couldn't find anywhere besides litecig. Since the NLV site listed a different supplier, they are most likely legit. You are a trend setter now with everyone chasing after you to place an order. I can't wait to hear about your vape meet. I've never been to one... I may look for one in Vegas after I move.

For getting liquids out of the jug, if you to the pharmacists counter at walgreens, just ask for a children's syringe and they will usually give it to you for free.

Claudia: Welcome aboard. For the record, I am a complete night owl. I don't go to bed until the sun rises... then it's a mad dash to get in my coffin.

Aikanae: It seems like I'm ordering vape gear every other day. Currently I'm waiting on a couple RDA's from China, I will be stalking the mailman Monday or Tuesday.

Lox: You have a really good handle on DIY and nailing flavors. My hats off to you, my palate is horrible.

Alisa, I am so sorry you had to smoke. You will be Ok tho then you can go back to vaping. Feel better soon and big hugs.
