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

[Prism]

I asked on the contest thread and it looks like it is a long process. They do many "rounds" where you can pick even more sets of numbers. He said the contest probably won't end until Saturday and to check back in every so often for the chance to pick more numbers in the next round. The game is done when the graph of 2000 numbers is filled. It's one one of those contests they want you to stay and check on the thread often for more chances to win. So, not like the contest you guys played and everyone won juice. This one is going to be more luck of the draw. But a nice prize.

Yes usually in games on ECF the more expensive the prize the longer the game or contest. I play a lot of contests and have actually won some nice mods, tanks etc. It took a long time to win a contest on ECF and it seems to go in winning streaks for me. But it dosn't cost anything but time and one nice rule ECF has is that they can't run contests where you have to buy something first. Keep an eye on this thread, a lot a different contests will be happening around Labor Day too.

had an appt at the rheumatologist, looks like I have fibromyalgia, yay

Oh, Jess, I'm so sorry I missed this part of your post. How awful for you! What are your treatment options?

 

[ShariR]

Thank you for those important details. I did not want to ask 100 questions. You clarified that whole part of the process for us.

Claudia there is a board with the #s. The colored ones are allready taken. Sometimes someone takes the same number as you just as you are typing. If they are taken the helpers will neener you and you reply with quote their neener and pick a new #. I keep the board in my favorites so I don't have to look it up every time. It is here

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...fdFc4QkxJT1M2ZVpvLTVEN3lBWVF1LXc&pli=1#gid=38

After the helpers color your #they will like your post. They will still like it even if you have a neener so keep an eye out to see if you need to pick another #. And dont click on the #s on the board or they can't colot them in.

omg FQ - I agree with you. They are like their own little cigarette factories. My dad did ryo when I was a kid, it looked like a PITA. Not as bad as rebuilding a coil, but still a lot of fussyness. And loose tobacco everywhere. Though they were pretty fast. We would have to time them rolling and you chowing down.

If someone else would roll them I would be glad to smoke them! And rebuilding a coil is rather a large PITA, but I have so many of them that there's always a backup around. If it came down to it, I'd just rebuild them all on the same day, but that didn't work out so well last time. Now I just do 5 or 6 at a time. I'm lazy!!

 

[Thayamax]

Good afternoon everyone. I'm getting ready to head off to work. Hope you all have a great day!

 

[loxmythe]

With the RYO machine (about $45) I can crank out a carton in 15 minutes

 

[Claudia P]

Have a great day Thaya

Good afternoon everyone. I'm getting ready to head off to work. Hope you all have a great day!

I read it all ..... now I'm too tired to post!


Carry on

Hey everyone I'm just curious. I'd appreciate if you'd all answer these 2 questions.

Did you do roll your own or buy packaged cigarettes?

How many if at all are you still smoking a day?
Thank you

Hi Lori, how are you and Bill doing?

Hi Claudia. Quick peak in. We are on our way to the oncologist in a few minutes.

Hi Claudia. Quick peak in. We are on our way to the oncologist in a few minutes.

I'm still thinking positive thoughts for you both. HUGS!

 

[alisa1970]

I'm just a math idiot.

Me too...

I've never tried Halo juice. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should get? I'm not big on strong tobacco flavors or heavy mint, and prefer fruit or dessert ones. I'm thinking Malibu maybe? Anyone have a fave?

Malibu is yummy - mild pineapple coconut . The Belgium chocolate is good too The hx3 is faintly "cool" as I recall - not a mint - lox says it tastes like peanut butter and jelly

I liked Malibu a lot...everything else (except some of the tobaccos) have been good but the only two I would order again are the Malibu, Twisted Jave (it grows on you), and Kringle's Curse.

Edited: yeah, so like I said, math....not so much.

Lord, help me, got this series of texts from DD1.

1: Bring home chocolate

2: Or Something

3: Actually, no, when you get home take me somewhere that sells donuts cake ice cream and buckets of chocolate. Oh, and I think I need alcohol. Ugh.

I'm in trouble!! I think I'm taking the night off and leaving them there alone. Lets see who survives!

That's hilarious! Glad to know it all worked out later.

I can totally sympathize with what your going through FQ...Last year my youngest started kindergarten and the first day was great until.....she got off the school bus. She burst into tears and I endured 6 weeks or more of heartache with her everyday over getting on the bus and going to school. . On the third day I drove her to school & that was a HUGE mistake. She wrapped her entire body around my legs so that I couldn't leave and she cried hysterically until she gave herself hives, it was the hardest & worst day of my life (my eyes are tearing up as a write this).The separation anxiety (she went to mom mom's instead of daycare) and being overwhelmed in general was TERRIBLE.

This was me in 1st grade...I made my mom come into the classroom with me and I totally freaked out when she decided it was time to go. I had gone to Kindergarten with no separation issues, but for some reason it hit me harder later.

Hello all. Hope everyone is doing well. Going to try and play catch up.

HI Friends! I'm exhausted & having a hard time keeping up with you all,

Anyone notice a trend?

Ok those wondering what my little survey was for here it is. Long ramble ahead
Originally when I started vaping I had been using RYO tobacco for almost 2 years. I was able to quit smoking after 3 days and made it 8 months smoke free. When I got sick and started smoking again I went with packaged cigarettes and well you know how that turned out.
Recently I bought a bag of RYO tobacco but was hesitant to use it as I like the flavor better than the pall mall UL I'm smoking (I get them because they basically taste like nothing and I don't smoke as much as I would if I liked them) I thought if I liked the RYO I'd smoke more. However I've found the opposite. Even though I like the flavor of RYO more I smoke less. I know BT uses additives to make you want to smoke more (give me a pack of Marlboro and I'll smoke it in 4 hours) so I was thinking maybe the first time around I had weaned myself off the additives by using the RYO making my first quit so easy.
Unfortunately the responses to my question are inconclusive.
Thank you all who responded

A little late, and I don't know that it will help but:

1) packaged, Camel Filters
2) between 2-10 depending on how tired I am (more tired = more smoking)

wait, first get vaseline

Whatt???

^^^^ What she said...

The juices I got from MOV are absolutely delish in the eroll, but not quite strong enough in a clearo, v fate or clearo no matter what I do with the vv.

I always found my juices to be on the muted side on the eRoll...who is MOV? I might like to give them a try.

My Kitty gets mad at me because I am spending too much time out in the sunroom vaping and on ECF and not petting her or sitting where she can be right next to me. So she follows me everywhere and tries to anticipate where I will go next. We end up playing hide and seek around the kitchen island whenever I go make tea or go get a bottle of water.

LOL, this is partly why I've been gone a couple days...kitties need my attention and will not stop pestering me until they get it.

Thanks Shari. I have my quit banner on my profile page. I like to keep track of the days and money saved too. I like the been vaping banner better as a signature though. I tried to use both but it wouldn't let me. So anyway I just wanted to say thanks for talking to me. I hope to get to know you, and everyone else, better in the coming days. I gotta just jump in more.

One thing I like about my banner is that you can edit the top to say whatever you want. That way I have two "quits" I can count. Now that I will have 3 "quits", I'm not sure what I'll do. Hmmm....

Anyway you're free to click on mine to use it for yourself if you want.

So far, Virgin Vapor has the most realistic flavors (except for tobacco) I've tried out of any company -- even on the stuff I'd normally not vape. Their Blueberry Cheese cake for instance tastes like real blueberries -- but something like that would just be a novelty vape for me, as good as it is I'd not want to sit around vaping blueberries all day. Their Kona Coffee Milkshake is my all day vape.

I've wanted to try the KCM from them but I've heard it smells really nasty (like cat pee). Given that I have cats, I really don't want people thinking that it's them that are stinking up the house (or me, for that matter, lol!). What's been your experience with the smell?

Packaged.
Having a hard time this time around trying to get back into vaping

Me too.

Hi guys, just stopping in before a nap. I spent the morning shopping with my boys & had an appt at the rheumatologist, looks like I have fibromyalgia, yay

Just out of curiosity, have you had them do a thyroid screening (with T3, T4, and Free T3/T4)? I've been reading a lot about how all of these are all interconnected, and might actually have their start in thyroid/metabolic disorders.

Dr. Lowe's years of practice have led him to conclude that fibromyalgia is, for many people, a symptom of an underlying thyroid problem, not necessarily a disease unto itself. He feels that the typical patient's fibromyalgia is actually evidence of too little thyroid hormone regulation of certain tissues. According to Dr. Lowe:



"In some patients, the inadequate tissue regulation by thyroid hormone results from cellular resistance to thyroid hormone. In others, the inadequate regulation results from a thyroid hormone deficiency. So, when I refer to fibromyalgia, I'm referring to a certain set of symptoms and signs of too little thyroid hormone regulation of tissues."

Sorry to hear about the new Dx...hope you feel better soon!

Good afternoon everyone. I'm getting ready to head off to work. Hope you all have a great day!

See ya!




Whew!!! It took my whole lunch hour to do that. Now I need a smoke and have to leave again. This is also partly why I haven't been here much. Ugh.

Hope everyone is having a good day/evening, and take it easy! Might see you all later, or not. Either way I know you'll have fun!

Ok I would like to do what you did with your quotes but I don't know how. lol.
MOV is Mountain Oak Vapors, they are local to me but also have a website. At first I found the eroll to mute flavor but the last few days there have been a few that have more flavor in the eroll than in a clearo or tank.

I've tried clicking on your banner but it only takes me to another forum and I don't see any way to create a banner there.

Thanks for the info re: MOV...

I'll look into the banner this evening and PM you if I find the solution. I know it came from Reddit but it's been a while so I need to poke around a bit. I'll keep you posted!

 

[kittyn]

breaking my own habit/rule thing and skipping 80+ pages of chatter since last I read, though I think it's closer to 100. Over FOUR days. So, ya'll have averaged 25 standard post count pages per day, aka 250 posts, or 10.42 per hour, every hour.

That's a LOT of talking.

I am not even gonna TRY to read through that with any intention of ever catching back up, so I'm just going with hi, hope everyone's doing okay, and etc.
