Default Anyone Vape?

I restarted smoking almost 2 years ago now, after a 9 year quit. The separation and pending divorce ain't easy. BUT, Cigarettes disgust me, Cigars was what I went to. Slipped down to Captian Blacks, and at 2pks/day some days, It was time to do someting!!!!. Now I can't quit. I quit for HER!, Now my life ain't the same and I'm needing the habbit. I found epuffer.com. Selling nicotine in their ecigs and ecigars. Got a e650 with Cohito fluid and havent had a real cigar in 2 days and dont want one!. using the 1.2mg fluid. I'm liking the fact I can just take a couple drags here and there to 'get my fix'. Unlike having to burn a whole cigar. And no smell in house.

Real test was today, replumbing my CL! Had to cut the tank lines on the tank side of shutoff's!!!! Real stressfull!!! Makeshift plugs on lines in tank, re arrange rock, cut pipes, pray pray no leaks. Replace plumbing, install Speedwave 2640, another leak, calmly fix. I woulda blown up to th roof if I was not gettn nicotine. Just a drag here and there, and continue working. 6 hrs without actually stopping! Way to go Vape!!! I'm sold.

I know a few people that use the ecigs - not because they want to quit, but because they like being able to smoke them in theatres, bars, watching a movie with the kids, etc.

Ya, so far I am liking this, I feel better already. 2 days and less hacking. So weather I quit or just vape now. I tried in a store today. Just felt awkward. People looked at me with disgust, thinking it was a real cig. Does produce a thick plume of exhailed smoke like vapour. I'm waitng for another cop to pull me over try ticket me. LOL, 2 mos ago I got a smoking with someone under 16 in car fine. Windows are always open. AND I nev er knew that was illegal!!!! Cop wouldnt even tell me when the law was instated

That is terrible! As a non-smoker, it REALLY doesn't help a whole lot by rolling the window down. That law came into effect July 2010. I'm surprised that you mentioned you smoke in your house too. Not many people do that anymore. It's one thing to smoke, but to lounge in the stench is something else! I hate cigarettes, and I can't wait for the day when smoking in public is banned.

I quit smoking cigs 5 years ago. But in the last year have been smoking 2 cigars a day. Never at home not around the kidlets. I want to quit them to as I hate cigs. But really do enjoy a cigar. As for vape. It don't make sense being I enjoy a cigar not the nicotine

Well my parents smoked when I was a kid. Also rode with no seatbelt and I ran with scissors too!

Sorry, My house, my rules. But yes, I do err did, smoke in front of a exhaust fan blowing outside.

And I wait for the day when Fart Pipes on imports and cheesy ground effects are banned. Oh and Speedo's on the Obese.

I use vapes for, errrrr, "not tobacco products". So much better than actually smoking. I have no problem with nicotine, "not nicotine", etc - really they're no different than caffeine and sometimes you need that extra boost to get through the day. It's the smoke that gets me. The vapes are awesome. You don't stink, lungs feel better... Vapes for everyone, I say!

Agreed. Sucks being in the back seat. An open window does nothing.

Good on you bandit for trying a route to quit. No reason to substitute. Just use it as a crutch for the time being.

As for people using them only because they can smoke them in "movie theaters" and such... That's pathetic. And they have a huge addiction issue that needs to be addressed. At least I don't have watch them throw their butts on the ground. Smoking debris is just gross.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

What unit would you guys suggest for a nicotine vaporizer? I bought a ecigarette thing a few years ago (~3) with the strongest liquid the had but I never really got into it, didn't even notice it when you inhaled other than a funny taste)
