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

[ShariR]

Oh you know I will. I am surprised the Post Office did not destroy the package as hazardous waste. This is the first bottle of juice I can smell through the bottle and the ziplock bag. I put it in another room and hopefully it will calm down. I will not remove the cap to air it out.

I don't blame you ... but, you're going to have to do a review when you do try it.

Massages are awesome!!

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ................ why yes, yes they are..................

TFA still hasn't shipped my flavor order. All my other stuff will be here today. 3 different vendors managed to ship in one day and have 2 day transit times, but TFA? Still haven't sent my stuff out. ....

Yeah they take about a week to ship - they're a small operation and get quite a lot of orders.
I hope you got some whipped cream - I just tried it for the first time and it really adds smooth creamy sweetness to my vanilla

I did indeed get some whipped cream I just spoke to Bill on the phone at TPA and he assured me my order would ship out today. So we're all good. Kind of a bummer that everything else will get here first, and have to sit for a few days while I'm waiting on the flavors. But now I know their timeframe, I'll know what to expect when reordering.

So sorry to hear about your struggle with vaping, health and with people. I'd like to delve deeper if you'd be open to talking about this here. One thing has my brow furrowed though, and I am not casting aspersion on smokers/smoking--I have to wonder about your doc actually advising, in any capacity, taking up smoking again. Can't say that feels right to me. But, if you decided that on your own, more power to you. But taking a doc's advice to smoke, that's a bit different, if not just foreign to me.

Canadian Health Care at it's finest? and who said getting things for free is never good..... ~quickly ducks at anything thrown at me~.....

Hi - Everyone . . . Just popping in to clear up something . . . As someone whose professional background includes "Behavioral Modification" (Counselor) - I can tell Ya' that YES there are some Medical or Mental Health Professionals that will suggest that someone go back to smoking cigarettes, especially when it is much worse for someone Mentally/Emotionally/Physically then giving them up or until the right replacement can be found . . .

AND - It does happen and for a number of very good reasons, that include someones NEED for MAOI's which are also found in Tobacco, that assist in alleviating ongoing Mental Health/Emotional Disorders: "Anxiety", "Depression", & "Panic Attacks" which are also associated with "Nicotine Withdrawal", and cigarette smoking has even been known to calm down those with "Schizophrenia" . . . Also "MAOI's"/"Nicotine" will help a number of people with "Neurological Disorders" too . . .

Just something for everyone to think about too . . . Just Sayin' . . .


EDIT: I really should have added this in "My" post earlier:

"MOAI" = "Monoamine oxidase inhibitor"

Lox - if you're around...

Who do you get bottles from? I just got my meager order from USPlastics and I hate them. They're the same type that Good Life Vapor uses and I despise them. They're very difficult to get liquid out of. You've got to squeeze really hard. The opening in the dripper tips is very narrow. So, any recommendations?

 

[ShariR]

I can see where that may be a factor in some cases, especially for a long time smoker. Smoking used to have a calming effect on me over the 45 years I smoked. I just thought it was habit, like how some people will play with their hair or bite their fingernails. But that advice after a heart attack? I have heart problems and my drs had fits when I told them I cut back to 4 or 5 cigarettes a day. But, you present an interesting point.

So I got an RDA in the mail from fasttech a couple days ago & I've slowly been trying it out. Gotta say my problem with dripping before was definitely an equipment issue, this thing is so much nicer. Also I am finding some of my fruitier flavors that I just couldn't handle in a tank all day are bearable in short doses dripping. I won't drip all the time but I'm coming around & could enjoy this when the baby is not around (I'm too scared of getting juice on him).

 

[Claudia P]

I'm home and I did much better than I expected. I actually didn't think about a smoke the whole time I was out, except when going out the exit at Sam's club. OMG I could smell it from inside the store and it was awful, I think I am well on my way to getting a banner very soon. I won't say I didn't vape myself into a near stupor as soon as I walked in the door though, lol.

 

[aikanae1]

BTW, I am trying to start vaping again
I can get away with it fairly well in the morning's before the pain really starts to hit
However I have a new problem
It seems this "condition" of mine has changed my taste
So the great juice hunt is on again

Drat it! I have soooo many I'm gonna have to get rid of

I'm glad your able to vape again. That should feel like a relief or accomplishment after what you've been through. Can you trade your juices for others? Do you even know what you want to try?

That's great! I'm glad the day went good for you!

Whew! The day is done. The dentist gave dd1 the thumbs up, no cavities. DD2 on the other hand. . .well, do they make dentures for kindergartners? The answer is no. And they want to extract all 8 of her front teeth and crown all the back teeth. No worries, her permanent teeth will emerge around age 8 or 9! /sarcasm

We're going for a second opinion. This office is primarily for medicaid patients, when they saw my private insurance card their eyes lit up. Grrr. So, no joy there, she has forbidden me from telling anyone about it because she is embarrassed. Lucky for me she can't read! I'll just tell you guys instead.

Then we went school shopping, paid a few bills, went to get takeout, and finally I caught up in here! Talkie talkie talkie all day and no sympathy for me, who was out driving in the rain with the idiots all day long. I have fins now, and I think scales are forming too! I'm glad to be home and off the roads.

Hope you all had a fantastic day with massages and shopping trips and NOT like ours. Tomorrow I need a do-over!

 

[ShariR]

I knew you would sail through it like a trooper! Hope you had fun and got lots of goodies to go along with all that meat for the freezer. OOhhh! Did I hear another possible Banner coming up soon, maybe? Good for you, Claudia.

Well that doesn't sound good at all, I would definitely be getting a second opinion, no way would I consent to that much work on baby teeth, if any at all.

I only got a couple of things other than the meat and big box of K-Cups, for us Sam's Club steaks are the major treat, wow really nice extra thick rib eyes for 7.99 a pound, local market has thin ones for 12.99 to 13.99 a pound, won't pay that period, but I do splurge a bit at Sam's every couple of months or so. Got some chops and ground chuck and a few very minor things. Then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.

Small bottles like 3 and 6 ml I get at kosmotech they may not sell to you though (I used my business info)
30 to 120 I buy from a guy on eBay - bottle mart maybe??

 

[ShariR]

Sounds like a nice day out. And those steaks sound like a great buy. I find no sense in getting a thin cut NY or rib eye steak. They have to be at least an inch thick to do up properly on the grill. I think a lot of the grocery stores cut them thin so people will think they are getting more steak. A lot of people only look at the total price and not price per pound. They see what looks like a big steak and think it's a deal.

Around this neck of the woods it may be because most people like them well done, but we don't and it's nearly impossible to do a nice medium rare steak when it's less than an inch to inch and a half thick, Sam's club has beautiful steaks some as thick at two inches. It amazes me that the meat at Walmart is so bad and at Sam's, their parent company, it is so good. I won't buy fresh meat at Walmart. I usually cut ours in half and he and I share one steak, we get a nice thick juicy steak and they stretch a long way that way, we can't eat a whole one anyway.

Anyway still no urge to smoke. YAY!
