EricHill- Thank you for the Snuff/Snus websites. What are your favorite brands? I have been meaning to try nasal snuff, but I was worried it would cause red or watery eyes and/or red or runny nose problems? I'm very interested in a non-tobacco snuff, perhaps a pleasant aroma herbal blend. I think a non-tobacco menthol snuff would work wonders for waking me up in the AM. I also saw energy snuff on one of the sites you posted, but I have to wonder if that kind of this is of good quality... The prices are great on a lot of the products. I have a loaded visa card with $2.50 on it, but the shipping is over $6.00 unfortunately. I saw that there are now filtered "dip" products that supposedly have no negative health effects. That kind of thing seriously interests me and I'll have to read more and maybe try some of these. I'm also thinking about tank options for my Apollo Vtube. I like the "Acorn Tank" from ParkesVaping.com because you can unscrew the top and basically dump your e-liquid into it from a bucket if you had to, haha. Its not as aesthetically pleasing as the other type of tanks but its pretty cheap, low maintenance, and I want to support ParkesVaping. The owner started out right out of her home and shes a very kind hearted woman from the YouTube reviews I've watched. She gave away free juice to all of her friends before being pushed by all of her friends, family, and supporters to start her own business. I like that kind of story, its American.
dmcg- I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My father died of lung cancer when I was in 5th grade. He worked two full time jobs and I don't have many memories of him at all. All I can go by is what my mom and my brothers and sisters tell me. He was extremely hard working and only came home to eat with the family and sleep. He always wanted a son of his own (my siblings came from my mother's first marriage) and when he finally had me, he was the happiest man alive. He wanted to raise me to become a hard working, loved boy, but he died way too early.
But I quit smoking in his name. I wont let his death be in vein. I refuse to let cancer take me down too. We're in this together. If you EVER feel like relapsing, PM me!! <3
chaostheory- I've also read about American Snus. I read that the American companies do NOT cure the tobacco the correct way and that it is NOT to be considered genuine snus. They say that by the US companies marketing it as snus, and by them marketing it as spitless tobacco, they are misguiding the US citizens and essentially killing us. American make snus does not go through the proper treatments for it to be spitless, and by swallowing, you are swallowing harmful chemicals. They are lying to us. So I am definitely going to try some better quality tobacco from one of EricHill's websites. Hopefully he can help me pick a good snus and a good nasal snuff to try out.
MattC- I'm really sorry to hear about that. I can't imagine. :/ My girlfriend is BP and I've got depression and self esteem problems, so, we have our periods where I'm getting hurt and shes getting ...... and we can't help it. I'm sorry. If your ever bored or if you ever need a buddy, get your mind off things and just vape and chat, you can PM me on here. After smoking for 6+ years, I quickly stopped noticing the taste of my cigarettes. The taste didn't mean anything to me after I had already become addicted. In fact, I can genuinely say that after the first year of smoking, I didn't care what brand I had or anything about the taste. All I cared about was that I had cigarettes. All I cared about was that I had a cigarette in my mouth every 10 to 20 minutes. So, they really get you addicted, to the point where you don't even care about the taste. Actually, every real smoker I've ever spoken to has told me they lost the nicotine buzz after the first year as well. So taste and buzz goes away and all we're smoking for is basically... to smoke! We just needed that stick in our hand, in our mouth, and that smoke coming out of our mouths. Thats what we're addicted to. Until we don't get the nicotine for an extended period of time, we don't even notice we need it. We just need that mouth and hand craving satisfied!
whodey365- My 510 is from a kiosk and honestly, I am very satisfied with it. I ordered my ApolloVtube because I know there is bigger and better things in the mods world, and I know that when I'm seriously craving a good throat hit, I'll be good with my Vtube. Where-as I can't rely on these three 510 batteries, I can't... They work well now, but they are only rated for 200 charges, and I've probably charged them 30 times already! haha. I feel I'll be safe and satisfied with the variable voltage Vtube. If you still have your mall kiosk 510 batteries, I'd be willing to trade you something for them. Let me know.
fray- I can empathize with you bud. Every time I've tried to quit with the patch, the gum, I end up on a roller-coaster depending on what I chose and what mg I choose. I'm either feeling sick from nicotine withdrawal or feeling horrible from nicotine overdose with those products. But I switched from cigarettes strait to my 510s and I was fine, with no problems. I'm sure your kids will be extremely happy to know you've stopped the cigarettes and your on your way to a healthier life.
TonyTT- haha, I should of known I'd be one of the youngest here. It seems it doesn't matter which forum I sign up on, no matter what subject the forum is for, I am one of the youngest on them. I don't mind and I seem to fit in well here on ecf.
This post took approximately 45 minutes from start to finish. Its now 4:59AM. I'm so obviously sleep posting. Goodnight YM. <3
