I really wish my friends would stop smoking and start vaping instead. Every time I see someone smoking regular cigarettes, I have to wonder if there's just something wrong with their reasoning ability.

It's typical addiction; there's not a whole lot of logic and reasoning involved. If it was so easy to stop smoking cigs, people wouldn't struggle with it. Vaping is almost nothing like smoking an actual cigarette, other than you suck in and blow out something, and so people can't just switch to it like that.
 
I have been using ecigs for around two years. Went cig free from the start along with my wife. Around a year ago I would have one cig a day with my wife when she started smoking again at work. Did that around a month but havent had a cig since then. Started at either 18mg or 24mg and am down to 3mg now. Currently using a Smok Alien with a Baby Beast and have an AL85 on order.

My still smokes at work and uses an ecig at home.
 
On a side note, I had my semi-annual dentist cleaning yesterday and they asked about the nasty ass lookin stains on the inside of my bottom teeth, right around the middle area (like the middle four teeth in total). I had noticed them several weeks ago but knew I was visiting the dentist soon. I should've taken pics.

I wasn't sure but now I'm pretty sure it's due to vaping. I thought it might be due to drinking coffee through a straw (usually) but the coffee isn't going to that spot in my mouth and I paid attention when vaping and the vapor goes right there. Kind of annoying because I almost always am using a clear liquid (from Mt Baker Vapor) but I'm gonna keep my tongue over those bottom teeth and I bet my next paycheck that fixes it.

Uh... that's your poop chute and it's normally not white.

Then again, not sure why the dentist is looking there.
 
I'm working on it now. I find I'm still smoking, but a little less. I am thinking I can toss the real cigs if I wanted to since I tried a couple of days with just an e-cig and it wasn't too difficult. I might try it tomorrow

I found that keeping cigarettes in an inconvenient place made it easier to not smoke them. I'd grab one just cause they were there. I started keeping my tobacco in the truck. I rarely wanted one enough to go out and get it, and by the time I got out there to go to work, my desire for my usual morning cigarette had passed. IOW, it broke the psychological habit after I had changed the physical habit.

I honestly just smoked the rest of my pack and haven't bought a pack since i decided to switch. There's still mental thoughts of "god i want a cigarette" but I do still get the "social" aspect of it with a vape, since i still walk outside to use it.
 
I need a recommendation for a new Mod. Needs to run on 2 batteries, not an internal one. I have Some Kanger 120w mods and they are giving me issues. I've looked at my favorite two websites and the selection is shit. Either they have internal batteries, or take 3 batteries, not 2. Help!

That's a good idea, but I'm in an apartment so I have to go outside to smoke anyways. You're mostly right, though, it's pretty much habitual. So this might do something for me since I'd have to stroll down to my car instead of just pull the pack out of my jacket as soon as I step outside

I might do this. I seem to smoke more to just get outside for a bit since I'm generally inside at all times. Might try going outside to vape to see how that works
 
If that doesn't work. Take chantix. 20 year pack a day smoker, I quit twice with chantix, nothing else worked. Only reason I smoked after quitting the first time was due to a bad breakup shortly after. Chantix again - BAM! Now, well over a year later, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes and am totally disgusted by them. I'll never go back.

Haha. I did make a typo in my original post and put "each" instead of "teeth."

Last night I ordered a couple 30mL bottles from Vapor HQ. I haven't ordered anything from there before but I wanted to try a different e-juice because it seems like the ones I normally vape from Mt. Baker are causing that teeth staining. I dunno, it's weird. From what I gather Mt. Baker uses quality ingredients and I'm almost always using a light, clear liquid for vaping (Forestberry Fusion or Juicy Cube are my favs and most used) but I really don't know what else is causing this except vaping. I also have a cavity down there that I'm getting filled in a few weeks. :-/ I smoked cigs for about 10 years, about a pack a day, and never noticed any teeth staining from those (in that bottom inside area, anyway). What the shit mayne
 
nautilus mini (although i prefer the full size nautilus for this battery) and a Smokk Xpro M80
201504181353422786.jpg

and this 52mg (my mistake) unflavoured PG nicotine base
0

one of these bottles is 35Gbp (less than $50) and it lasts just over 1 year.

the M80 battery has some weird useless functions (like Max Drags per Day, or Clock) which means sometimes you press a button combination and you need to reset it, but it charges SUPER FAST (way faster than my Samsung $600 phone) and it lasts like 1 week on a full charge. would totally recommend, 10/10.
 
The cigarette disposal thing caught fire at work. Once again, it made me wonder why some person still hasn't switched to vaping.

There's no good reason why people should still smoke instead of vaping.

There's no good reason for people doing most of the shit they do. Vaping != smoking, and health concerns are some other day. I only quit smoking cause I had reduced my smoking so much it didn't make sense to continue. I started using smokeless tobacco only because I liked it, and had no intention of quitting smoking. Quitting just happened.

Vaping is just as stupid as smoking. Me, I prefer a real cigarette or cigar to some chinese pond water.
 
So, I'm looking for a new mod box, as the charging port of mine just sorta ripped out (cheap soldering) and is stuck to the charging cable.
- It charges, but the female port is no longer attached to the box, but rather is on the male port.

What quality, long-battery life, sub-ohm boxes do you recommend?
- Right now, I'm on a cleito tank and would like to move to making my own coils in the future.

Get something with replaceable batteries. Don't have to wait to charge if you've got a second set handy and you're aren't depending on shoddy connectors for USB. I use a Fuchai 200W. Last about 2 days if I'm vaping around 20W. It takes two 18650s, so the downside is that it's sorta heavy.
 
I've been vaping for about a year now. I didn't come from cigarettes though. My path took me from cigs to nicotine gum to vaping. It's probably been 6 years or so since I've smoked a cig though, even though I'm still quite addicted to nicotine.

Definitey replaceable batteries. I am having trouble finding many mods that take two 18650's. Most have a built in battery and then some take 3 batteries, which is too big. So I bought another Kanger KBox 120 to have as a backup. I searched at DirectVapor and MyVaporStore and I was blown away there weren't more options.
