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

[ShariR]

Join the club, the up all night club. I still have not figured out how to get to sleep at a normal hour. But I have the luxury of not having to be up at a certain time so it is not critical to me. I feel for you with the trouble sleeping. If you have the nic level right, you are doing great! They don't have graham crackers and milk and a nap time at your job? That sucks. I used to have a couple of coworkers who would take naps in their cars during lunch. Never could figure out how they would wake up in time to get back to work. If I nap I am out for way over an hour.

Yes ma'am, I am vaping exclusively and this Thursday will mark the 3rd week. So sad, it's supposed to only get worse on the 3rd day, 3rd week, and 3rd month. So Thursday I'll feel worse than today!!

Otherwise the coughing up stuff has stopped, not sure that's a good thing or if I'm due for a good case of bronchitis. And I'm sleepy during the day and wired during the night, leading to more sleepy during the day.

Oh, it's wonderful!! \sarcasm

 

[ShariR]

I am an original and unique with some different thrown in.

Well what is it with you & Shari???
You two are just "different" are you not!?

 

[ShariR]

I am going to send you some NLV Gold so you are not playing the guessing game. You might like it.

The little ecig is cute. I am quite comfortable with my Spinner out and about so far. And since I have gotten used to people staring at me while I don't have any teeth, I don't give a rat's bottom what they think of me with my spinner and evod. So there to all you starers! Since I am used to not being able to smoke for a couple of hours in restaurants, I can go a bit without a vape. But it would come in handy at an airport since I do not think it would produce enough vapor to set off a smoke alarm.

Pretty sure I found the Boba's. I like it. I taste the vanilla on lower voltage. Wasn't sure because I am not tasting cinnamon and that is a big no-no for me. And that was what was throwing me off, I kept looking for cinnamon. It's almost gone , must be the Boba's. Oh, and I think the Boba's crisis is over. I was on their website after 6pm and you could order it in any amount you want. I almost did, then remembered I have to be good for the rest of the month. There is always next month. But I will be getting some. I do like it. Was expecting not to.

Yes, you nailed it on your Swedish Fish. Don't know why the vendors think they can do it better. MBV can't. Have not tried any other and won't since I have the real thing.

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 have been telling myself fora week now that if I still have money available on Friday when I get paid again, it's officially part of the vape fund and will be used to get myself either a (or a few) mini protanks or some other juice delivery device, or if it's not a lot of money remaining, we'd see, but SOMETHING demmit.

I just remembered something important. My daughters birthday is Thursday, and her party is Sunday. Even if I DO have money left on Friday, I know myself well enough to know it'll go towards her party, or a cute outfit for her to wear for it, or something similarly baby-girl-ish.

HMPH!

This is in no way a real complaint. Just kind of DUHing at myself and being oddly disappointed, not sure if I'm disappointed at me forgetting about my own kids birthday party or having to put off new toys for myself, but one or the other.

I keep reading on here about the mad hunt for a good coffee and a good chocolate. Then someone will rave about a juice and a couple or few weeks later, everyone buys it and they end up saying they don't like it. I have found out some people will love whatever they buy and post on the website. Same thing on a bunch of the vendors fan sites. Hard to read between the lines and know what is an objective review.

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.

I have not had a cigarette since I started vaping, but oddly enough put with the right group of friends and I smoke a hookah or cigars from time to time, I was one if the lucky ones (can't even stand to smoke a cigarette any more). But I do feel for all of you that couldn't put it down so easy.

As a note for my story I tried many cig alikes, blu, and v2 which didn't help me quit at all, in fact actually made me smoke more, went from 2 pad to 3 when I bought blu. It wasn't until last year that I even realized there was more to vaping than the cig alikes and had one last ditch effort and bought an ego... which actually did the trick, 36 mg e juice was the key for me I think, flavors were decent but not amazing, the juice was from mad vapes.

I know what you mean, every coffeei have tried I like at first... then it tastes like burnt coffee even at low volts... very disapointing really

Good night everyone, just peeking in to say I'm reading what you're saying, but have nothing important to add. Sleepy so maybe I'll be out by midnight! See you on the flip side. . .

I smoked for 45 years, 2pad Marlboro 100s and I started vaping when I picked up a Blu out of curiosity. Did not do the trick but got me doing a search on the internet and I found ECF. Took a few weeks of reading and asking questions and got my first setup which is a Spinner and Evods and 510 attys (I discovered I love dripping). After getting down to 2 cigs a day after 3 days, I had a setback of a week and smoked, then I restarted the vaping and I am smoke free for 1 month and a day today. Very happy about it, but it will take a while for vaping to be cheaper than smoking for me. Got to lock up the credit card.

There are a lot of people on ECF who still smoke occasionally. Here in this thread you will find most still smoke some. This is a comfortable place to come and chat or ask questions, no one here is judgemental. If you want to smoke, you smoke, if you are stuggling we are here to help and support each other. Welcome and join in on the conversations.

It is disappointing. My all day vapes are tobaccos, but I would love to find a good chocolate and coffee juices. I can not afford to try one of what everyone makes so I keep reading reviews. It does not look promising. The best chocolate I have tasted to date is Halo's Belgium Chocolate, but it is more of a cocoa and not sweet. People either love it or hate it. And so it goes.

 

[ShariR]

Good night dear FQ, and I hope you do not have to count too many sheep. Sleep tight.

Good night everyone, just peeking in to say I'm reading what you're saying, but have nothing important to add. Sleepy so maybe I'll be out by midnight! See you on the flip side. . .

 

[daleron]

Ugh! I'm stuck on dial-up at the moment ... storms again.
Just swinging by to say good night, I'll try to catch up tomorrow

 

[ShariR]

Good night Dale, hope you sleep well. Your early storm brushed by me a few hours ago, why you sending me more?

Ugh! I'm stuck on dial-up at the moment ... storms again.

Nite Dale...



Just had time to sit down...came home, had to take the cats out, made dinner. We had steak fajitas--I got gluten free tortillas, BF got the "real" flour ones. The gluten free ones weren't too bad, and I can already feel them getting digested; unilke the two regular ones I had last night that sat in my stomach for more than 4 hours.

On my way home tonight, I stopped and got some swedish snus. OMG. I don't know what I was expecting, but what I got was definitely NOT it.

Got some spearmint ones, and the packets are very small. Apparently not small enough, because I couldn't jam the packet in high enough to not have the bag resting over my teeth. It burned, and then it seemed fine. I was getting a little bit of a nicotine rush, and the mint was great. Then....a little more burning, then....

...all of a sudden it felt and tasted like my mouth was bleeding. I kind of freaked out and pulled out the packet, and realized my saliva had just wetted the packet enough to make a little "juice" that was floating back to the back of my throat and down. The taste...OMG the taste...

And then as I was tossing the packet, I saw the crap on my fingers and wondered if my teeth would end up tea-stained if I used this stuff long term. Overall, not a good experience!

But I might try it again...

Congrats on the month without smoking, I'm finding myself vaping a tobacco flavor right now (got it from group treasure chest ) it's halo long.horn, it's a cigar... have had 3 people take a puff and they said it tastes like a cigar... and my fiance a few minutes ago walked in and thought I was smoking cigars lol. I'm even getting a cigar after taste it's actually kind of freaking me out lol.

Yeah I had a coffee flavor that I thought I liked, it was coffee and cream from blue mist vaping (now called azure vaping) and it was a decent vape, didn't get a burnt of taste that I can remember, didn't order more before I had found bobas bounty and didn't use anything else for a long time.

The cost of vaping is odd, it can cost so much more than cigs... or almost nothing at all, I was down to less than a dollar a day for along time, which is insane compared to the 20 dollar a day habit I had smoking analogs... but when I started out I spent allot, 60 ego kit, hundreds on juice, cartos, carto tanks, clearomizers, and my 200 dollar purchase of my provari (with it since it's still working perfectly and I had the extra money back then)... then I realized boge cartos and bobas bounty was all I needed since all the new best stuff was more frustrating than it was worth. Now I have a very cheap rebuildable and very happy with it.

We started out exactly the same way, tried a Blu out of curiosity and started searching the net for this. as it turns out, group. I still really haven't found my favorites yet but I use tobacco juices much of the day. I've only tried one chocolate, dark chocolate, but have only tried it mixed with something else so far and not impressed, maybe after it steeps a bit more. I would love to find a really good coffee or cappuccino, I do like cin-a-bun and red apple though. Oh and I'm also a nightowl, lol

 

[loxmythe]

Oops should have told you to try the mini mint first - smaller packs. It grows on you after a bit.

 

[ShariR]

That snus stuff did not sound like a pleasant experience to me. Can you cut open the packet and put it in something else, maybe like a fine woven white cotton and make smaller packets out of it? And you are willing to try it again? Did it taste ok, or nasty? I never had the courage to even consider trying that. My dear FIL used to use chewing tobacco or something like that. It came in a can and he had to carry around a bottle and spit in it all the time. Not nice looking, that spitting thing. Gotta give you credit for trying it.

Good Night FQ!

That's the one i wanted, but they didn't have it (at least it didn't say mini mint on the can). They're really small tho--like less than an inch long and 1/2 wide...I thought that was pretty small.

So will the juice make me sick? I was worried I was gonna puke if I swallowed it...I know you're supposed to swallow but that was so nasty!

I might be able to, but they were already pretty small...the casing is like a teabag, so I could probably do it. I am willing to try it again, but the swallowing thing is what got me this time. You're not supposed to spit, although I suppose you could. My whole thing is that I hate chew because the spitting part is gross. So I thought snus wouldn't be so bad. It's supposed to not make you salivate as much.

I got my face slapped by my mom when I was a teenager and I told her I would try anything once.

Snus! Used to love that stuff from time to time... real nicotine junky here... used to.dip and smoke at the same time, and there was one time that I had a nicotine patch on while dipping and smoking... guess that's why I didn't worry to much when I had the top on a bottle of 24 mg juice break and about half of the 100 ml bottle splashed in my face.

 

[Mark C.]

I used to swallow the juice from straight dipping tobacco, it makes some people feel sick to their stomach, but Snus doesn't seem to make people feel that way.
