Thanks Thaya and Dale.

When I can't sleep at night I usually go and read New Posts, just to see the new stuff people are posting about and some of the New Member threads in case I can help someone. But lately even that has been getting a little old. Lots of posting about the same things. Some of the Lounge stuff can be fun, but if you don't know the posters it can be hard to jump in. I can only enter so many contests and tend not to bother if I am not interested in the item being given away. And there are more like that than I thought. I got a bottle of juice on a freebie and just paid shipping, bad deal, I could smell it through the bottle and plastic bag - I traded it away without tasting it. So it cost me money to get something to trade away. Bah!

What I should do is go and watch some of the shows I have on DVR; that thing is almost full again.

That is frustrating. And I tend to find their flavors to be nice and rich, not as in your face as Fuzion or GoodLife, but flavorful. It's funny, I had a lemon chiffon pie yogurt for breakfast earlier and I was thinking about that. The lemon chiffon in the yogurt was not full on lemon, more subtle. Wonder if the juice is like that. It may be a more subtle, creamy airy type of juice. Give it another week. What a pain.


Hey, Shari. I tried that Plume Room Lemon Chiffon Pie a few minutes ago. It's much better than it was when I first got it, but I'm still not getting the lemon...or the pie. :blush: I guess I'll let it steep a while longer and try it again.

Pure vapes does a lemon cream puff that's to die for :drool:

That sounds yummy! I've never tried Pure Vapes.

Before I found this thread I used to mostly just read the New Members, General E-Smoking and General E-Liquid Discussion forums. I didn't post much other than a few 'welcome to ECF' posts. That did get boring after a while with the same questions and answers repeatedly.

I've done a few contests lately, but like you, I don't tend to do it unless it's something I can use. I also find it awkward to try to jump into a thread where I don't know anyone. It took me a while to get the nerve to post in here! But I'm so glad I finally did. :)

Go ahead and clear out your DVR, but don't be gone long. We miss you when you're not around. :wub:

Maybe the yogurt and juice use the same flavoring? The thought of that is just weird to me.. :?:

I'm vaping it now, and it's not bad, just not what I expected. That seems to always be my problem. :facepalm:

I wasn't sure where to go but then I remembered that a while ago someone recommended this thread to me.

I am still a fairly new vaper and had been doing good trying to alternate between cigarettes and vaping. However a few weeks ago I slipped big time and have been rarely vaping. I know my smoking is directly related to my emotions and the more I am upset or depressed about the more I smoke. I always have my ecigs with me but I am reaching for my cigarettes instead. When I do try and vape I only do a few puffs then put it down and light up.

I am at a loss as to how I can make myself vape more and smoke less. This is something I truly want and need to do I just feel like I'm a loser or weak person when it come to the transition. I am just so very frustrated with myself right now.

Welcome! You are far from a failure,not a loser nor are you weak, you took a step in the direction to be healthy. You found ECF, you posted regarding your experiences. You also found this thread. To me that is someone that is fighting the fight. The most important thing is that you want this. Like all of us here, at one time or another we were in your shoes. No one here will ever judge you or treat you unkindly.

I found this thread just a few weeks ago, I had been struggling for a while, these people have done more for me in just a few short weeks than anybody has for a very long time. This community has a way of sneaking into your heart be prepared.

As for your still smoking, please tell us about your current equipment and juices, nic strength and anything else that we should take into consideration to help you.

Once again welcome!

That would be a sight to see...although seeing all of us middle-aged, limping, and otherwise less-than-physically able women wielding scary looking mods might make the enemy retreat out of sheer horror!
ROFL!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll roll in first stand behind me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I wanted to go to walmart today! Pick me, pick me!!

Err... Well, I would if I could, anyway. Car's at work with the husband and I don't think getting things from my Walmart in Indiana to you would be very cost efficient. Cursed 'logic'.

Well I wish you could have gone for me, I hate going to Walmart, ours is so poorly stocked it's always an exercise in frustration, but who can afford to pay regular supermarket prices, at least not in this little town.

I'm waiting for honey to get ready for us to go out for dinner. My dad's and my birthdays are in August, and my brother wants to take everyone out for dinner.

There's this rinky-dink, hole-in-the-wall Mexican place we're going to. The carnitas tacos are to die for! I've been there twice, and it was really good both times. Reviews are very mixed, but it's a small-family run place. So these kinds of places always get mixed reviews. A description of the place:


If ever there were a contest for tacky restaurant of the year then Pepitas would be my first nomination. Among the interior decorations here are statues, string lights, blankets, Christmas items, and empty booze bottles. It's as if every available space at Pepitas has been covered by some artifact. On our visit we sat below an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe topped by an empty bottle of Jose Cuervo. Our Lady and Jose seemed to be so incompatible with each other as did almost every other decoration at Pepitas.

Carne Asada:




Tacos - Mexican style, on un-fried corn tortillas and with cilantro and onions






Just looking at these is making me hungry!

Ok, for all you bored, lonely, don't a live'ers out there in ECF land (Me!!!) I just ran across this thread again. Read several pages of it a few weeks back, but forgot about it. It is funny and lighthearted and doesn't take any brainpower to enjoy. For those times when you are just spent and need a quick laugh. It has been posted to recently so here goes.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/430314-cigarette-newbie.html

Anybody else have any little gems of threads they want to share for when I get bored or can't sleep. It's a long weekend ahead.

Shari, I had started to read this thread awhile ago, thanks for reminding me!

I usually wait till late at night and go when no one else is there. I have the place pretty much to myself and can shop at my leisure without a crowd and no waiting in line to check out. If I want to chat the employees stocking the shelves are usually more than happy to stop and chat a bit.
It's a bit scary around here late at night, loads of immigrant farm workers hanging around.

The food looks delish, but the decor leaves a little something to be desired. :facepalm: Have a great time!

Yes, the interior sort of attacks you at every turn, lol! As tacky as it is, it somehow adds to the experience. The whole dining room is about 30X30 and there's chachki's everywhere. But yes, the food is really good.

That is the type of place I hunt for! And the food looks delicious... I wanna go too! We have all kinds of Mexican food here, but for the most part it is all Americanized and it is either over spiced or tastes like Taco Bell. Looks like you found a little gem. A clue to good ethnic food: find out where the local Mexicans, Japanese, Italians, Thai, etc. eat. It may be a hole in the wall, but I bet the food will be good.
