Vape-heads? Do You Vape?
 
Curious if we have any other vapor-ers out there in BFP-land?

I quit smoking over 2 weeks ago and Jackhammer got me the ego-C stick and a supply of nicotine-free juice.

This is my setup:

http://www.sincityesmoke.com/sites/d...k-wht-pair.jpg


I am currently using a juice called "Black Tea" from myvaportstore.com and it is AWESOME. GREAT smoke, not tangy at all, and tastes wonderful!

Talk to me!

starryeyes 01-22-2013 07:50 PM

I got Justin the Blu package to help her stop smoking. She isn't *quite* ready yet, but she will be vaping soon! She did about 2 months a few months back on a vapor cig, but fell back into old habits. I will tell her about this thread!

Medusa 01-22-2013 07:53 PM

I am strictly sticking to zero-nicotine juices but Jackhammer got her own stick and some low-nicotine juice. She LOVES it and plans to wean herself down from the 18mg nicotine juice over the next few weeks.

Another Vaper! SWEET!

Syr 01-22-2013 08:02 PM

Ooooooops..... Wrong vaporers. LOL

TWolf 01-22-2013 08:05 PM

Have vaped for three years now. Went from a two to three pack a day habit. Once i found the nic level i needed it was no problem switching.

Between Wolfsgirl and myself there are several pvs (personal vaporizer) around here. Everything from various egos to her GLV to my mini nova. Got a beautiful handmade black palm electric pipe too. Really love my variable voltage devices for that big hit!

We both use tank systems now. Only have to buy cartos and juice every month. We get juice from our buddy at deejstuff.com. Puffing away on caramel cappuccino cheesecake!

Lucian 01-22-2013 08:31 PM

I've been doing a lot of looking into this lately. I have a friend that gave me a link for vaporshark. I do believe that will be the one i go with when i order. I have seen so many people talk of having good results with quitting using the e-cigs. It gives me hope that when i get mine. I will finally be able to kick this habit for good. Good luck to y'all.

TWolf 01-22-2013 08:48 PM

If you want a good resource, try the electronic cigarette forum. (would put the link but don't want to run afoul of any rules) they have an excellent new members area as well as sub forums for certified venders. Helps to know who is reliable. I researched for over a month before i finally bought my first kit myself.

Admin 01-22-2013 08:52 PM

TWolf!

I'm a member over there too! Same here, lots of research and am still over there reading for an hour a day for the last week.

I just ordered from Heathers Heavenly Vapes (she gets great reviews) and am thinking of getting another pv - probably the mini nova because you are now the 5th person I've seen talk about it.

TWolf 01-22-2013 09:02 PM

Admin.. That's actually where Wolfsgirl and i first met. Won the mini nova. Like it...good solid pv. Find myself using my vision spinner (ego type) most days though. Think my next purchase will be a vaporluxe from ace of vapes. Had a fistpack that i loved with the exact same design that gave up the ghost.

Admin 01-22-2013 09:08 PM

What's your favorite juice?

I've only tried 3 so far, all from myvaporstore.

One was a strawberry watermelon - very good

Black Tea - current fave

and Mint - nice but nothing special

The ones I have ordered from Heather are Cherry Bomb, Cinful Pear, Blueberry Muffin, Vapin' Chimp, and Butter Rum.

I suspect that Butter Rum and Vapin' Chimp will be mixed together if I decide to get gourmet about it! LOL

TWolf 01-22-2013 09:20 PM

We mix and match all the time too. Currently we get all our juice from deejstuff. I'm stuck on his caramel cappuccino cheesecake, apocalyptic cinnamon blast and sweet lil tarty thing. Wolfsgirl leans more towards tiramisu, English toffee and some fruit flavors. She has one of his creations named for her. Jenn's Juice that's a white grape, peach and mango mix.

Hollylane 01-22-2013 09:28 PM

Gaige and I both vape, we were doing quite well with it before Reunion...and we are both on the verge of becoming jull-time vapers again...Mainly, because I don't want to be huffing and puffing when I start hiking again this spring, Gaige likes to workout too, and we are both tired of the cost. We are currently using Blu, I like how tiny the cartridge and filter are, because I can vape in secret, also I like the blue light, because it doesn't alarm the alarmist type non-smokers and the ex-smokers into confronting me.

I think I saw Strappy with the one that you have on your post Medusa, or one that is similar. I do like that it lasts much longer, and the liquid seems like a cheaper option. I'm also concerned about all of these cartridges and batteries, and their future affect on a planet already bogged down with crap that is harmful and not recyclable. So, I like hearing about how you are doing with that brand.

I just googled the ego-C, and watched a video from a smoker that drags deep on a cig like I do, and it seems that I will stick with my Blu for now.

I wonder if Strappy could tell me, are you able to drag hard on your brand, or do you have to drag lightly on that one too?

Admin 01-22-2013 10:02 PM

I can get a pretty good drag on my ego-C but I have the bigger upgraded battery. I think it allows for a harder pull.

Thing I love is that a little bottle of juice for $6 lasts me a long, LONG time. The strawberry watermelon juice was all I had for the last week and a half and I have been vaping on it multiple times a day and have only used about 1/3 of it. I don't treat mine like a true cigarette but I puff on it quite a bit!

I'm reading up on all of it some more and am totally fascinated by vape culture!

Hollylane 01-22-2013 10:26 PM

OMD...I have just fallen down the rabbit hole of vape culture. I had no idea. I wish someone could talk to me, listen to what I want, and tell me which one would work best for my needs. The more I read, the more complicated it all seems. I need a vape consultant. STAT :|

I'm listening to the guy in the video below, and I am looking up the things he is talking about, and my head is getting a little spinny, and my brain is feeling overstimulated...Perhaps I should revisit this information when my brain has fully rested...Yikes.


Soft*Silver 01-22-2013 11:16 PM

chrissy vapes. When he blows real smoke, so do I...cant stand the smell in the house. Even tho he only smokes in the sub den, it filters upstairs. Dammit.

I often thought about trying it. I quit smoking back in 1996, and before that, I had quit for several years. (I smoked for 6 months in 1996 when my mom died). So I have been off real cigarettes for a long time. But, I loved smoking..and the flavors I am reading are enchanting me...

Okay, as if I believe for a second, that you didn't just put neon signs all over that web address, knowing full well I would end up with bug eyes on that site, reading until my brain explodes. Nice! That was just plain rotten. :)

Rockinonahigh 01-23-2013 12:49 AM

I got an eciggy from wall mart called njoy,I use the lowest nicotine cartrages .06% its ok but I know I can find better if I check around a bit.I hadnt had a real ciggy for the last three years but had the craveings to smoke again real bad so I tryed this.I will be looking for something better,what I don't like about it is it's heavy and isnt an easy draw as I would like..no diffrent flavors either wich would be nice to have.

Lady Pamela 01-23-2013 02:48 AM

Just wanted to congradulate all who are trying to quit or those who recently have stopped smoking.
Way awesome!

wolfsgirl 01-23-2013 07:39 AM

Hi, I'm Jenn and I'm a vaper. :D

I've been vaping for about three years. I started with a Blu, then went to an Ego, then to mods, now I use my GLV mini. Vaping is kind of a hobby with TWolf and I. We have several Egos, her pipe, an apex, my GLV, that pipe bomb looking thing she has, a fist pack that needs to go to the shop, and more liquid than we could use in a year.

I got to smell the crab juice at vapestock a few years ago. I wasn't brave enough to actually try it.

Loren_Q 01-23-2013 10:45 AM

Started vaping a little over a month ago. Did my research and went with Apollo e-cigs. I got a couple of disposables first, to see if I would go for it, and go for it I did.

I picked my brand mostly cause they've gotten pretty decent (good) reviews and they're made in the SF Bay area (yay for supporting local business).

I'm totally into vaping now. I have 3 co-workers who vape and we do the whole "let's go outside". I keep the social ritual without breathing in the burning material. I'm all good with it.

Since I'm pretty new to vaping, I've limited myself to the already packaged cartomizers. I've purchased tobacco and just got the 'variety' pack. The flavors I've tried are:
Tobacco (my fave so far)
Vanilla (pretty good)
Menthol (very nice)
Coffee (surprisingly good, I'm not a coffee drinker)

Haven't tried the Cherry yet, it kinda scares me.

Scorp 01-23-2013 08:01 PM

Vapahhh!
 
To vape, or not to vape, that is the question...And yes, I vape!!! I started about 6 months ago.

I use the eGo-T Joyetech tank system. It's pretty cool having more than one tank. I bought different color tanks: red, yellow, blue and purple. You can find these at: www.joyetech.com

I love this contraption and feel as though I'm smoking out of this bad ass thing somewhat of a pipe (which doesn't resemble a pipe at all) but it's also about oral fixation with me. Between the color tanks and the tips that also resemble that of a larger type tiparillo...Me likey....

I tried the nicotine based liquid (also found at the joyetech website) but found it was too strong even with the lowest dosage of nicotine in it. I noticed after 2 days or so it started to hurt when I would regularly breathe in. I was disappointed because I was really diggin' vaping and I ended up stopping because of that.

After researching many liquids I came across a website: www.altcig.com and saw that they have water based E-liquid vapor (without nicotine) even better! There were many flavors to choose from and the flavors have customer reviews which are very helpful.

I have a wicked sweet tooth and found the E-liquid Candy category...OMFG I'm in heaven!!

If anyone is interested in the tank system, I highly recommend going to the joytech website that I noted above.

For the liquids I HIGHLY recommend www.altcig.com.

Also, The people are very cool to deal with at Alt Cig. When you order the liquid(s) they also send you a complimentary "gift" which is neatly wrapped in a small plastic bag with a label that reads "a gift for you Vape happy :) " which they include a random liquid flavor just for doing business with them whether you purchase big or small. They also sign their names to the invoice and thank you for your business. I find this to be great customer service and if you have specific questions, you are free to email the establishment and they pleasantly get back to you right away.

Ok, now here are the flavors that I have: Ripe Strawberry (MY FAVORITE!!!!) The others I purchased but have not tried as of yet are: Jolly Watermelon (being the watermelon jolly rancher addict that I am), Sweet Tangerine, and Top of the Muffin Blueberry.

I can't wait to try these flavors, but am so happy with vaping the Strawberry at this time.

I'm off to indulge in my strawberry aromatic, Vape system!!

Happy Vaping Folks!:hangloose:

Yep, sure did..Thanks for letting me know about it! Awesome thread. Looks at you ever so loving, turns to you, brushes the hair back from your ear and whispers: "SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND".:pointing:

TWolf 01-23-2013 08:22 PM

Scorp... Just to clarify...no eliquid is "water based". Water is used to thin the mix sometimes but is never the main ingredient. The main ingredients are pg (propelene glycol-used in asthma inhalers) and/or vegetable glycerin with food flavoring and nicotine. Altcigs does list water as one of their ingredients though.

Good to see so many trying ecigs!

Some E-juice places will tell you the proportions of PG to VG, and I've found a few that have a 0 nicotine option. From what I've been reading VG gives more vapor and PG does that throat hit thing. The stuff I use is 60/40 PG to VG and what I like best is the throat hit, the flavor's nice too.

Medusa 01-24-2013 01:30 PM

My liquids are most all 70/30. I like the vapor but am much more concerned about taste and throat hit!

I'm ALLLL about the candy flavors but even found a deep love of the Black Tea I posted about. I mixed it with a little peach and it is completely divine!

When I get my order from Heather's Heavenly, I'll report back on the ButterRum!!

wolfsgirl 01-24-2013 02:59 PM

We use 70/30 too, and almost always get extra flavor added.

Dude 01-25-2013 01:21 PM

I am doing it ( and got the 12mg which seems strong enough ,so far)
and have only had two real cigarettes today
I bought south beach smoke only because I really don't know
much about them yet .
they are already leaking at the connection place
which sucks
I love not having to worry about a lighter and not having
that PANIC feeling when you are down to your last cigarette :twitch:

I have smoked so long , I have told myself if this really works, :praying:
I will buy the zero nicotine ones for the rest of my life
to have with my coffee, after eating and sex. snort ;)

I use mine for craving times as well and it has helped tremendously! Having something in my hand when I'm driving and after eating has really helped cut down on the cravings.

I was getting really fidgety when I would have to walk Gracie because I would usually smoke but I started taking my vape out with me and it totally cured my jitters. Just being able to inhale made my routine feel like normal.

Luck to you!!!

TWolf 01-25-2013 06:22 PM

Wolfsgirl uses 16mg. I started out with 18mg but that wasn't enough to quieten my cravings. Once i upped the nicotine level to 24mg i was finally able to put the cigs away for good. I've dropped down to 20 mg over time. Don't ever plan to quit or go to zero nic though. Besides studies have shown that nicotine by itself is beneficial. Nicotine helps with mild depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and short term memory. That's part of why some of us go nuts when trying to quit cold turkey.

Dude 01-25-2013 06:44 PM

It's the fidgety jitters that have always got me smoking again.
One time , I was so uncomfortable with all the skin crawling withdrawal
jonesing I nearly convinced myself that playing bumper cars while driving
was a perfect idea. I was thinking horrible things and scared myself.
Prison or smoke basically.

That did not happen to me once today.

I am smoking my third real cigarette of the day and it really does not taste good.

I bought $100 worth of 12 mg which was kind of dumb and way too many.
oh They aren't leaking , I have discovered intentional holes that might get some duct tape slapped on them. heh

What I am looking for is a lighter gadget for sure ,with a smaller tip
and I would like it to be white and have a nice menthol. ( and choc)
I have read a few places that menthol smokers usually smoke for life because
it is a dual addiction. I dunno if its true but it feels true :twitch:

I have also noticed the chocolate flavor helps curb my intense desire for chocolate.

Someone told me they duct taped one emergency cigarette in a pack,
they were actually able to quit for good and still have it in their car 10 years later.
He said by the time he found something to cut into it with and was halfway
there , he would change his mind and add another layer of duct tape.
It was the knowing it was there that brought comfort.
I like comfort, so I'm gonna try it.

:]

Medusa 01-25-2013 07:12 PM

Jackhammer needs to get in here and talk about her experience! Her last dip of Snus was 3 days ago and she has been vaping 18mg since then with zero cravings or jitters.

I have to also say, she has tried to get off of Snus and cigarettes before during our relationship and I always dreaded it because she is a mean little man when crabbed out. She has been pleasant so far!
She plans to step down her nicotine over time but is loving the Cuban cigar flavor :)

She loves sweet things as well (which is why she married me! LOL) so I took a chance and ordered her a pomegranate vape and she just hit it and LOVES it.

Also have a chocolate mint and a coffee flavor coming.

I'll admit, I went a little ape shit last night with Scorp on the phone and ordered a buttload of vape liquid. We have about 20 different flavors coming in the next week and I am anxious to see how we like them!

Tried one called "Minty mint" from myvaporstore.com and it is, indeed, very minty. It has a strange low note on the aftertast that I haven't quite figured out. Something akin to paper, but I don't mind it yet. I dropped a littlle peach into it to cut it and it's delightful!

Congrats to the new vapers!

P.S. Scorp and I were on the phone for hours last night and this was the main topic of conversation!!

Dude 01-25-2013 07:25 PM

life
it is all about the sucking

TWolf 01-25-2013 07:40 PM

I use an old humidor to store our juice. We probably have 20 different flavors at any time. Often get some empty sample size bottles so we can share different liquids with the new vapors we know. As long as you keep your liquid stores out of sunlight and extreme temps, it should last about a year.

You might look into finding a group of vapors in your area. They will hold vape meets usually once a month where people can try new flavors, ask questions, and check out all the ecigs out there. Helped start a group when i lived in KY. We've been thinking of checking out the one in Memphis.

wolfsgirl 01-25-2013 08:12 PM

20? We have that many on the end table. We have at least 50 counting the ones in the humidor. We need to clean that out someday.

TWolf 01-25-2013 08:18 PM

Yes dear. (sheepish grin)
So....we like trying new flavors. Lol!

Dude 01-26-2013 02:31 PM

I am sucking way too hard today:cigar2:
:twitch:
I just tried lighting one with a lighter with maybe a smidge of urgency :candle::blush:

Fatale 01-26-2013 02:35 PM

I use a vaporizer for weed. Have for a couple of years. Love, love it.
