Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

[Erised]

The power company just put up a new pole (damaged during last tornado outbreak) outside my house. I'm thinking it would be a good time for me to test my new digital multimeter under load. Time to start climbing, I'll let you know how it goes...

==sniff--sniff== Am I the only one that smells something frying in here?

 

[Erised]

So I am sitting here at work, getting stuff done, waiting till 3:30 so I can get out of here and it hits me........ Holy crap! I havent had a cigarette since 3pm yesterday! it's been about 24 hours! I smoked the last one in the pack on my way home at 3 yesterday and I usually don't smoke in the eves so I didn't worry about picking up a pack. Then it was pouring this morning so I didn't want to get wet and decided not to stop, plus I was already running late. So I had picked up my WTA on my way to work and I was ok. Ive been vaping like crazy all day but didn't think anything of it till just now when I realized that I haven't smoked in 24 hrs. So now my question to myself is keep it going or give in and buy a pack. I am not having any major cravings, just a little antsy which could be the nic from chain vaping all day. I think I am going to try and keep it going since I am not craving bad or going nuts to have a cig. I do need to refill my tanks when I get home, I am running low from the day. I just seriously can't believe I have gone 24 hours and not really given any thought till now. I am sure now tho all I am going to think about is a cigarette. Oh well, here we go. 8-o

Congrats Jesser!

Good to see you


Dang are you always that lucky?

Actually AVE is still open and Boba's still in stock! Maybe I should go ahead and order another bottle? lol

 

[razor4432]

Are you vaping exclusively now FQ?
If so it lasted a couple of weeks with me.

For me I was opposite, not sure if all the water I was drinking helped speed up the flushing out process but in a couple days I would wake up and was ready to go. Hadn't felt like that since I was in middle school.

Keep up the good work those of you who have gone a period of time with out ciggies

Wait darkest (like coffee color) should be wicked wench (butterscotch tobacco) and savage tobacco. Blackberry tobacco is amber like the AC3 and analog.
Bobas is same color as my DIY butterscotch toffee (#7) - dark amber.

SHARI Did you see this? ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

 

[ShariR]

Well, I have been dripping the little samples to try to figure out what is what. Think I found the analog, it is the palest one. Think I found the blackberry tobacco, but I had to play with the voltage and I like it. And I don't know which is the Boba's. One of them, let's see, the two darkest I have not tried yet, the next darkest is #7 and not tried yet, the next darkest, which I Think might be the Boba's, I like. And I like it enough that most of the little bottle is gone; this is one of the ones that leaked so I started with just over half a bottle. Wish I knew for sure.

I did try the LoxyGold. It is a good vape. Not my Gold but I enjoy it. Very mild, and I am not tasting much tobacco. Might have something to do with that it is 12mg and I vape 24mg. This is another one that I am playing with my voltage to try to find a sweet spot. More playing is in order.

And of course, the famouse Swedish Fish. This is a big surprise for me. I truly expected to not like this and this is even better than the bottle Lox sent me when I first started vaping (that was MBV). What a nice sweet change from the tobaccos that I seem to prefer most of the time.

So I put together the little ecig. I think it is cute, although worthless since I have probably just tasted Boba's Bounty. But it is cute and I can see where this could come in handy for someone who just wants to look like they are smoking a cigarette. I can not see how anyone could quit smoking using one of these. Dear hubby came in the sunroom while I was giving it a test drive and started laughing at me, after he opened his mouth to say something about catching me with a cigarette. He looked closer because he did not smell smoke and asked what was that thing. This little ecig would work for someone at a bar wanting to pretend they were holding a cig. It does not even come close to the taste or vapor of the Blu I tried as my first ecig. But it is a dead ringer for a real cigarette.

Boba's is supposed to be a 4 flavor juice - remember it's been out 3 years or so (maybe it's 4)....Lox wants to try to duplicate it....always keeping in mind that regardless of what people think is in it - what the flavors available were back then. At lower resistance you get hints of sweet but at higher the tobacco comes out. Somewhere in the middle is where I like to be

Some taste chocolate - other taste a bit of cinnamon - others raisin......and it can change flavors each time you pick it up. Don't worry Shari - back then cinnamon was a tank cracker...so it's not cinnamon per se..it might be a note picked up in chocolate or it might be the tobacco base.

 

[loxmythe]

So if the tobacco was stronger - would it be gold? What's missing? I can fix it but I have no idea what gold tastes like.
The little cartridges on the 401 can be refilled but if I was you and wanted to use it out and about I'd pick up some cartos.
I
Bobas looks almost exactly like #7 just a bit lighter - tobacco with hint of cinnamon sometimes or vanilla sometimes or god knows what but it's always good even though it seems to taste different all the time


Oh and MY Swedish fish always tastes better than all the vendors I've given it to. Idk maybe they skimp on flavor

I am sooo glad you got a good night's sleep. We forget how important sleep is for our general well being. And it's really good you are getting all those tests now. Maybe not too long to get you started on feeling better. I have read a few posts about that Yaeliq juice from Israel. Though I thought I read it was expensive. The $18 for 100ml sounds pretty cheap to me, if you get a flavor you can also use as something to mix with another, looks like it may be worth a try. Unless the shipping cost is a killer.

I had the best sleep I've had for a long time. I think it was relief that I might be heard about Ystuff. I go in for more tests today (not 6 months from now). I can't think about finances or I'll destroy the ounce of peace I found. However, the pressure is on to quit again or everything gets lumped into the smoking check box.

YES! I've read the stunning reviews of Yaeliq, which offers 100% VG too. I guess the $18/100ml is a special price for August. EEK. It's worth a try but what? I can't deciede. The mental games continue .... I promise I'll save money next month, I can't DIY until I know what I like, who eats desert because they NEED it, etc. They do have some interesting coffee flavors - like Israeli Coffee and Morning Vape.

and I NEED a cool drip tip.

and I NEED a FT order.

I keep reading posts from people in Arizona that have that exact problem. There is an active Phoenix group on here, I think where all the states have their group threads. Bet you will find several answers there. Personally, I have no ideas for you. Hope you find a good solution, and let us know what works. It usually is close to 100 degrees in Nashville around this time, we are having a very cool summer this year.

Of course you need those things! Heck, since you mentioned that deal, I'M going to check out the site, I could use 100 ml of juice for the same price I've been spending for 10 mls. . .

I'm so glad you're getting some testing, hope you get to the bottom of it soon, and FEEL BETTER!!!

Went to lunch and it's HOT outside, put my Vamo (Evod) and my Indulgence (T3) down near the gearshift in the cupholder, both of them leaked all over everything. No bueno. So came back inside, dumped the leftover contents down the sink, gave them each a hot water rinse and filled them back up again. How am I going to do this every single time I go outside????? Any ideas are welcomed.

 

[beebopnjazz]

Oh lookie! The Dakota and whisper looks good too! I do like hype - it's supposed to be 10% pg - peach with a touch of melon - I find it to be a palate cleanser

So..... guess what was sitting right in front of me in the kitchen? And I do not remember Lox ordering these.... They've been sitting there for weeks

I watched a Youtube review on a Kona coffee juice from some vendor in Hawaii. The woman doing the review was hilarious. She was making faces from the moment she opened the juice bottle. She obviously did not like it. It almost looked like she was going to expire during the review. She make no qualms of telling everyone to not buy the juice and was trying to figure out how she was going to get rid of her bottle. It was funnier than the Pbusardo video of the Crab Juice review.

I can tell you one coffee flavor to stay away from -- Kona. I have a Kona Coffee recipe here that I've been steeping for about 2 months I think, and it is still more than deserving of the title "Cat Piss in a Bottle."

 

[ShariR]

Wow, Jessermay! That is great. Isn't wonderful how the not smoking can just creep up on you and just sorta happen? That's pretty much how I started. Sometimes you just gotta let it happen. The WTA may be working for you. Congratulations!

So I am sitting here at work, getting stuff done, waiting till 3:30 so I can get out of here and it hits me........ Holy crap! I havent had a cigarette since 3pm yesterday! it's been about 24 hours!

[jessermay]

Thanks everyone for all the congrats & encouragement! I am riding this high right now of not craving a smoke, I am gonna need another bottle of WTA soon but it's all good. It is just amazing me right now that I have no cravings! I keep thinking about smoking but it's just a thought, all mental no physical. Now I know this could all change in a heartbeat but I'm staying positive!

Has anyone tried Yaeliq yet?

I tasted on the back of my hand ~ I'm scared ~ but juices frequently don't vape like they taste

I'll have to look up that review. The funny thing is that I LOVE Virgin Vapor's Organic Kona Coffee Milkshake. It is my ADV, and the juice that I just keep going back to, and comparing other juices to. And it smells great - both in the bottle, and when vaped. People at work are constantly asking me to blow my vape their way because they love the smell of it. I'm starting to think that coffee, especially Kona, is something that just can't be synthesized.

 

[ShariR]

OOOOhhh! You are having a good day. Enjoy it.

YAY!!! Good for you.

I'm sitting at a little over 20 hours and wondering similar things, but I will have to pick some up for him in the next day or two.

You ARE joking I hope. That sounds a wee bit dangerous.

Hi everybody.

I am still back a ways playing weekend catch up but decided to hop forward and say hi, plus mini update on my GLV juice tasting the other day.

Started thinking about it, and while the Shamrock Fair is friggin GOOD I started with it. And it's not exactly the kind of flavor that clears out quickly. So I thought maybe I had unfairly judged some of the stuff I'd vaped afterward.

So, I started over. Same atties from the other day, so still kinda damp, just added in a few more drops, starting at what should be the 'lightest' flavor (IMO, anyway) and working from there.

So, I have redone Melon Boba so far. Which is still predominantly underripe cantaloupe. I am still not getting mint in it. At all. But I do like menthol. I do like mint. But I tend to like 'mint' in the gum/York patty way, like almost tongue scorching in a pure mint cool tingly manner, if that makes sense. I also like mint teas, which are a different beast all together, and I tend to double/triple the 'amount' most people would use, so again, a very strong, though less vicious on your tongue, mint. So, maybe its light enough that I'm just not getting it or its mixing in overly well or something. It is,however, more pleasant today. I taste more melon in general, and while I still get underripe cantaloupe at the forefront, its a stronger sweeter flavor today, like you were eating it off the rind and bit just a tiny bit to far while originally it was more 'I should leave this is a bag for a couple days but I'm impatient' with the green bitter at the front with a little melon there to make you think your impatience was almost worth it. Still not overly liking it, but better than I gave it credit for.

Just put red headed .... back on, and will use it for a few pages of catch up reading before saying anything else.

 

[kittyn]

So yeah, I can taste some cranberry and peach on the exhale, still pretty empty though. Not much to say on this one besides it smells really good and I wish it tasted that good... Just kinda bleh for me.

Past that, I'm caught up and now have to run. I have to try to save the rest of my crochet hooks from a mini terrorist and put her to bed. I may check back in later on if all goes to plan
