AIBU ... to STILL feel positively evangelical about electronic cigarettes? [thread 2]

[magimedi]

Here we go with thread two.

There is a great deal of information on Thread One about vaping :

I think that many of us have been able to give up smoking thanks to e-cigs & vaping & are all feeling the positive results & want to spread the message.

Second day, not smoked 40 -60 cigs
Well done to you all too, it's very inspiring to read such positive threads.

I ordered from JJ on Thursday and it was dispatched on Friday. They're probably a bit overrun with orders since they were closed for Christmas and only started taking orders again on Thursday. I'll be surprised if you don't have it by Wednesday though.

I put another order into jj on Sat and I got an email yesterday saying it had been dispatched, it's not arrived yet but hopefully tomorrow.

I have a bottle of cherry pie and a key lime pie both 12% going free if anyone wants to try them? Both are nearly full, I don't like them.

I'd love to try the cherry please

You can have both if you like McNo. Pm me your address and I'll post them to you tomorrow smile

even

Thanks have pm'd you

I have cheesecake mixed with choc praline tonight
Am struggling a bit, not managing to get below 15 normal cigs a day. Usually have 30

Plenty

Yourbi clear 30. Ive been having the same problems today as youve described.

try taking both ends off the clearo and screw them back on and tighten them both as much as possible.

Id managed to loosen the top bit with the mouth piece and it was leaking through to the coil and down the little tubey bit that way. Seems to have solved it.

I ordered from joosejuice friday night and got an email yesterday saying its been dispatched so im assuming itll be here tomorrow. If royal mail dont fuck it up. Two letters i know have been posted to me have gone awol grrr.

Goodasitgets have you tried a tobacco flavour at all? What strength are you on? And are you drawing on it correctly? You draw slightly different from an e cig. Slower, and hold it in your mouth a bit to get max nicotine absorption.

I have a mix but mainly 18 or 24mg
Yes, have a Dy4 flavour
Possibly need to draw a bit slower. Just finding I am vaping and still wanting a "cigarette"
Been reading about WTA in eliquids which sounds interesting

WTA?

I started on 18 mg too. Definitely try drawing slower and longer (5 secs is average). I smoked twenty a day and the first few days struggled until i learned tondraw on it properly. Never struggled again then.

Dizzy I'm not sure I have the same one as you - yours is an iclear 30 b, with a bottom coil, isn't it? Mine's an iclear 30 (not b) top coil.

I can see exactly what the problem is - The drip tip is collecting condensation which is falling onto the silicon cap on top of the coils. The cap has a really tiny hole which is repeatedly getting blocked. I can clear it by pressing it with a cotton bud and wiping out the drip tip and it'll be great for a few drags then get clogged up again. It might work better if I turned the heating up so the drip tip was warmer

Yes long slow draws I usually suck mine until the button flashes

You've cut down massively though goodas, in a very short time Why not stabilise on 15 then cut down again? The most faggy, throat-hitty thing I have vaped so far is RY6 - worth a try?

goodasitgets I found I went from about 8-10 "real" cigs a day down to 2 (had been 20-30 a day before ecigs)when I started using NON-tobacco flavours more, might be worth a try?

I was vaping just a tobacco flavour originally, then changed to apple or pineapple for about 80% of the time & just use the tobacco late at night or in the morning (which are the times I'm still having my 2 "real" cigs each day).

Ohh yes, i forgot about the top coil thing.

Mainly I'm using peanut butter weirdly as I really like it!
Think I need to get out the habit as in I will vape on the sofa, maybe if I go to the door like where I smoke that might help
I guess it just takes time for some people

I still have to play silly little mind tricks on myself, like changing to tobacco for my first vape after eating (when I used to light up automatically), and keeping the pack of real cigs well away from anywhere I tend to be during the day - I KNOW that if there were real cigs next to my PC then I'd light up without thinking!

I chain vaped when I was getting those cravings for a real cig, and tried to do something that would take my mind off it. I worked out the craving was more mental than physical in the end, but it took me ages to get there so don't give up!

goodasitgets, I find it better if I go to the back door to vape, as thats where I would normally smoke. I do sometimes do it in the sitting room in the evening, but it feels like something is missing, and I guess it's just the routine.

I've finished my bottle of cherry menthol can I top my pipe thing up with some Blackpool rock that I've got spare??

Right im fucking angry.

On Facebook i have a woman who works for a company who sells stories to various news papers and magazines

They are looking for teens who "smoke e cigs" for an article to "raise awareness of this issue".

Fucking great. Let the scaremongering and myths commence.

And i am sure the "big fee" will attract plenty of "teen vapers" fucking cocking wankers.

Presumably you put her right on the "smoking e-cigs" comment, noting that they aren't actually smoking but vaping?

But yes, I can see this being used as another stick to beat us with suggesting that teens who wouldn't normally smoke are vaping. And that vaping is a "gateway drug" that will inevitably lead these otherwise pure and innocent youths into becoming addics to first cigarettes, then cannabis, then harder drugs
