I just started with my setup. I got a "titty pink" colored Totally Wicked Tornado Tank. I love the different flavors and nicotine savailable for this. Strawberry is a fun flavor (how femme!). Need to totally quit the real tobacco and hope I can do it with this. Having fun mixing flavors too.

 The best way to try to wean off the real ciggies is to vape at around 18mg to start with, if you are/were a heavy smoker you might want to start at 24mg juice/e-liquid. I started at 24 and a year later i'm mostly 12mg with some 18 still. Your brain will still be craving that higher level of nicotine that's in ciggies, even if you smoke lights. Some people stay at their starter level and are perfectly happy. I went down, but i find that i vape a LOT more at 12mg than i do at 18mg. I still have some 24 in case i'm having a really hardcore craving. I've talked to my Drs about vaping and both my primary doc and my shrink agree that nicotine is showing, in tests, to help neurorecepters to absorb the chemicals they're trying to recieve. My shrink (and this is just mine, no medical advice here!) said that it's OK to vape at whatever level im comfortable at because nicotine itself is not harmful to the body (unless you drink it or rub it on like lotion, lol) and that the smartest thing is finding your proper level of nicotine so that you aren't getting too little or too much - too little - jonesing, too much - jittery, lol! There are some good, inexpensive sites for juice, which may help if you decide to start higher and work down. You can always find someone to give leftover juice to or trade to them for something. The ecig forums (nu-vapor and electronic cigarette forum being the 2 biggest) are a fabulous place to not only learn, but to find and trade items! GL with putting down the ciggies for good - you'll get there and your body will tell you pretty fast how happy it is. You've probably already gotten idea of it from vaping instead of smoking part of the time, already -daisy

I picked up some more juice from Nic Station on the way back from the hospital today, Juicy Peach, and more Blueberry Champagne. I got very tired of the Cuba flavored juice within a few days, so I didn't get anymore of that one. I hadn't planned to buy more from Nic Station, because their juice is 100% pg, but I was still waiting for my juice from Heather's Heavenly Vapes, and I was running alarmingly low on the Blueberry Champagne.
Alex, the groovy young man who works there, recommended mixing the Juicy Peach and Blueberry together, because that is his new favorite. So, I may try that over the weekend. He also gave me mega discounts (2 cartomizers for free, 1/2 off 2 new tanks, and 1/3 off of the Juicy Peach), because his boss was so pleased with him about the review I posted on Yelp, in which I spoke highly of Alex's great customer service skills. When I got home, I logged on to USPS, and saw that my package from Heather's is out for delivery today! Damn! Going to the mall to get more juice was not what I wanted to do today, I was just not feeling up to it, and I could have avoided it! Oh well, now I have extra supplies. As of today, 3 weeks free from Cigs!! YAY ME!! |

If you do decide to mix the flavors, be sure to not try to do it in the carto or tank, if you have any old empty bottles around, clean one out with hot water if you haven't already, and mix it in there where you can properly blend the flavors. You can also do this in a ramekin or other small bowl or tea cup even. The bottle would be best though because then you'll be able to control the mix and have somewhere to keep the juice around Congrats again, and have fun mixing up your flavors - blueberry and peach does sound pretty damn good, lol! If you find that fun, you might pick up a few flavor concentrates and add them to your current flavors (only takes a few drops to add a hint of flavor, and you don't necessarily want to overwhelm your base flavor). DIY is actually quite easy and you can get started pretty cheaply either getting supplies on your own or using a starter kit. Some come with a toolbox like container, assorted flavor bases of your choice, pg, vg and nicotine along with some gloves and pipettes, syringes, etc. - can't hurt to buy it that way if you're unsure what to get The only thing about all PG juice is that although you get great throat hit, you don't get much vapor. If you don't care about that and you're doing fine with all pg, don't kick yourself over it. I know people that only do PG, some that only do VG and a lot of us are in the middle. I personally prefer 40/60 pg/vg as i adore big clouds of vapor. The owner of Lily's Liquids actually made me two custom all VG vapes for me when i had my tonsils out about 2 months ago - they were iced peach/strawberry (fuzzy berry tingle) and an iced melon/strawberry (melonberry frosty) so that i wouldn't have much throat hit and the cooling drops actually soothed my throat (who knew?). As for the crossing orders - I've done that a few times. Placed an order somewhere because i was waiting forever (or impatiently) for one order to arrive - it's been especially bad over the chinese new year's 3 week holiday - so i order something else and then suddenly the older one is shipped out before the new one. At least you'll have plenty of juice! GL with your continued vaping and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about DIY, mixing, or anything else -daisy

I wanted to clarify something I mentioned in another post about nicotine and safety. You should NEVER EVER attempt to vape anything over 36mg.
It's OK to use if you're working with nic and have your gloves on and are careful with it, but never vape anything above 36. I don't know many people that even vape that high, but there are a lot of people out there who do in the beginning, especially. If you accidentally spill any liquid, especially 24mg and up, on yourself you want to make sure you wash the body part off that it's on (obviously eyes you may want to go to the ER) and/or remove any clothing it's spilled on. If you *don't* wash off/remove clothing, the juice can act like a nic patch absorbing through the skin, then if you vape on top of it, it's just as dangerous as smoking with a patch on. I know a lot more people vape 24mg (i do sometimes myself) don't freak out, or worse think i'm being overly cautious. As long as you handle something the way it should be, there's no harm, and it's quite easy to rinse off your fingers or whatever if you get a dribble on yourself. The reason it's OK to vape 36mg and not want it on your skin, etc. is because tests/studies have shown that not all the nicotine is absorbed by the lungs. This was more a warning to the people using 36mg juice, or 36mg or higher nic in making new liquid. This post wasn't meant to be a lecture or to scare people, mostly just being informative. As long as you don't let it soak in like lotion or drink it, you should have no issues, this was just a minor caution Enjoy vaping, just treat it the way it should be treated, I know its easy to get complacent over time. As i've said in other posts, if you want any additional info, please let me know -daisy

You are going to LOVE that Dragon's Blood from ECBlend but I found that I had to let mine steep for about a week before it was truly melded. Y'all - I am glad to say that I am 52 days without nicotine of any kind. Jackhammer is almost that long without snus. I have only had a few noticeable cravings and I think they were more of the "habit" cravings than the physical craving. For example, I was on the phone with June the other night and had an overwhelming urge to go out on the deck and do a deep inhale while we processed. This was more about "my routine" of talking to Juney on the phone and smoking the whole time than an actual physical need for nicotine. I overcame it by talking about it and inhaling some Cinful Pear from HHV. I am going to make another post about the order I received yesterday from Alice in Vapeland. It was, in short, INSPIRING.
