Freeeeeeeeeeedom!

Started e-cigs in February. Was at 1.5 packs/day of Marlboro Reds and climbing. Just tired of it and the complete waste of money.

Haven't smoked a real cig since the day I got my e-cig. Started with 24mg juice, worked my way down to 0mg. Haven't used my e-cig in over a month. Have no urge to smoke a cig whatsoever. Wouldn't mind hitting my e-cig, but screw it. Was way too big a habit, pretty much hit that thing from the moment I woke up until I went back to sleep.

So thanks e-cigs, but I'm glad I don't need you anymore either. I'll resume once we get legal e-joints here 🙂.

To me, I just thought that a larger cloud would equal a more satisfying vape for me. And perhaps some of that would be the satisfaction that my eyes get from seeing a large cloud. What I have right now is working out pretty well though. I don't think I'll be jumping through any more hoops in order to attain the large clouds.

With these huge bottles of juice I just got, I can be liberal with my usage, even if the stuff I got is quite expensive.

Thanks for hangin in there with my dumb newbie questions y'all.

Now I will say, I thought I would be seeing more "oohs" and "aahs" about my craft juice. Its good stuff. Go try some five pawns stuff and let me know what you all think!

I know about five pawns, but I've never tried it. I did the gourmet e-juice search for a while, but there are too many to try. The most expensive I will buy is Nicoticket and they have a huge following and are very good. Five pawns is insanely priced, but i'll probably end up trying it someday just to do it. The thing is, I don't want to be spending a lot of money on juice all the time, so I mix it up between nicoticket and less expensive brands to keep it reasonable.
About 4ml per day is what I vape, and at nicoticket pricing, that's $5 bucks per day. Five pawns would be even more. So I use Mtbaker, ITC vapes and nicoticket for a good price balance.

Nice article. Its great to see things like this. This is an uphill battle though. Facts really don't matter until you absolutely burry the public with them. Only then will people stop hating on vape products and only then will the mainstream media feel forced to report those facts.

Yea got sick of hearing they are bad for you worse than cigarettes. Even a buddy of mine who used to vape and went back to cigarettes because his excuse was vaping made me want to smoke more cigarettes.

Yea my guess is he didn't find a juice he liked, it had the wrong nicotine level..I'm a picky vapor when it comes to juice. I can only vape good menthol flavored juice. Everything else tastes weird for me.

LOL haha. First time I tried Copenhagen, it spread out all over my mouth. I had to stick with long cut for a while. Dipping snuff is a learned art. And yeah, the nicotine levels are through the stratosphere.
 
Quit dipping about 2 months ago after dipping for 20+ years. Didn't need to ween off or anything like that. Motivation is key, if you want to really quit, then you can. Mine was I had a desk drawer at work that I would toss my empties in. I told myself about the beginning of the year, once I filled it up, thats it. Which also was about the time the company put in some stupid tobacco policy regarding a tobacco surcharge added to the medical insurance unless you do some tobacco online class. You didn't have to actually quit to avoid the surcharge, just take the class.
 
Got my new rig. Provari 3 and Kayfun 4. A combo of unspeakable beauty married with the utmost of pleasurable function.

73 days without my daily can of Grizzly Longcut Wintergreen. I miss it a bit, but my wife is extremely happy I quit. Right now I'm using a Nautilus Mini with a Spinner II and 36mg Sofa King Methol Ice, although I'm planning on stepping down when I run out.

Trying to cut out most combustion, going to try making my own thc ejuice now, anyone have experience with this?
 
I guess I've been vaping at too high of a wattage/voltage this whole time (at least the time I've had my current device and the one before it). Well that means those "safe vaping chart" images out there that show the voltage/wattage and resistance as colors on a scale: Example are pretty much bullshit. I always vaped at the lower end of the "safe" ranges in those charts and seemed to go through atomizers quickly and never got much of a "taste" from juices.

I happened to have a Max VG juice laying around so I tried that and had to turn the voltage/wattage way down on my device because it was giving me a burnt taste. But it sucked cause it didn't vape well then. Anyway I tossed that little Max VG bottle and went to another juice I had, this one 70/30 PG/VG. I stayed at a low voltage/wattage and bam: actually decent taste from the crap! I'm vaping "Gimmix" from Mount Baker Vapor right now and it tastes very similar to Fruit Loops (IMO). My device, an iStick 50W and iSub G tank, is running at 2.6V/11.8W with the regular 0.5 ohm (my mod registers it at 0.6 ohm) atomizers for the tank.

Well I'm definitely sticking with these low power levels from now on. It just seems stupid that there are these super high power devices, like 200W, and it's completely unnecessary. Hell, I won't get anywhere NEAR the max level of my 50W device. What's up with that?

Oh and something else I'm pumped about: THERE'S FINALLY A PURE KIWI FLAVOR! WOOT. Pure kiwi; not infected with sub-par fruit like strawberries. Kiwi e-Liquid at Vapor HQ
