If you don't think vaping causes brain damage look at your charge card statement.Most of us smoked "rollies"to save a buck when we smoked even though they tasted like *** .We all know what a mAh is and what resistance is.We used to make fun of those kind of people before.We use terms like "throat hit".I don't know about you but I pretty sure I'm not right.

What i use is 2 smaller yet thick rubber o rings..... one is made into a larkshead loop around the other one and is then clipped to the lanyards you can get for office badges etc. The other o ring is then slipped onto the e cig (only really works for the ones that look like cigarettes). That way it doesn't slip off and I don't lose it, don't break it, and I can carry a couple of cartos with the caps on in my pocket. I do have a couple of the aluminum holders I bought, but then I went to empty cigar tubes for carrying extra batteries w/cartos attached. So far the XL 510's and 808's have been enough for me to vape all day.... not that I dont want a mod.... but right now can't afford it.

Thank you so much! I'll go check it out online now. Does it have a good throat hit?

I do idealize the thought of being completely addiction free from anything addicting. But, here I sit at the computer reading the forums as I sip my coffee and vape my eGo. I'm looking forward to playing Xbox and also catching up on all my shows on Hulu. Army Wives, Bones, NCIS (when they're available grrr). I am addicted to many things in life... and I'll give up my vaping when I have the right frame of mind to give them all up. Fair is fair. Where's my chocolate?? BirdDog! Did you steal my chocolate again? Nana??

It depends on which kind you get. The Ali'i is made from carved wood, takes an 18650 battery, and holds a 6ml bottle of liquid. It is a bit bulky - although I don't notice it at all when I'm sitting around the house, or in the car, vaping. It's too bulky to carry around in a pocket though. And it does have some weight to it. The old goats mod is very small - in my opinion. It takes a 14500 battery and holds a 3ml bottle of liquid. I can easily hide the whole thing in my hand...it's extremely lightweight, and can be carried in a pocket or worn on a lanyard around your neck. I have both models and would highly recommend either one. Both work very well and I couldn't be any happier with them. I love not having to drip with them. The Ali'i is pricey, but the old goats mod is very reasonably priced.

Just an addition to the above, I have found that the larger o rings, again with the loop and lanyard, works with my EGO. Same thing, don't lose it, don't break it.

Glad to see you feel the same way about Vape Placid as everyone else

My wife does not read this forum. So, no plans to quit vaping. Feels like the beginning of a hobby, so much fun to be trying new stuff. Just ordered some clearomizers, what a kick. Analogs were never fun, more like a ball and chain. No stink, no holes in new shirts, don't have to go outside in the cold etc.

I smoked for 34 years. I loved smoking. I never wanted to quit, but felt like I should. Partly because of the health benefits and partly because of the cost. I didn't know that I couldn't breathe very well. I didn't know how bad I smelled. Until I quit. When I first heard about the ecig, my first thought was that I could keep "smoking" and yet not be smoking. I wouldn't have to give up the hand to mouth habit or the inhaling habit. Thrilled me all to pieces. It worked as well for me as I thought it would. From the very first inhale, I knew I never wanted another analog again. I absolutely love vaping. As much as I thought I loved smoking, it doesn't even come close to my love of vaping. I'm at 17 months and counting now. I have no plans whatsoever of quitting. I don't want to quit. I enjoy vaping - even at 0 nic. I love watching the clouds of vapor I produce. I look forward to sitting down to take a break and having my vape. I don't see me ever wanting to quit. Now, if it just happens...if someday down the road I find myself vaping less and less until I don't vape any more at all...well, that's okay. I just don't see me doing that on purpose. Like ripple, I find it to be a wonderful hobby and I can't say I'll never quit. I'm just not working towards that.

I could not have said it any better. That was pretty much exactly how I would have put it as well! I know for certain that I MUCH prefer vaping over smoking for many reasons. The main one being that there are so many great flavors out there... how could anyone possibly say that the taste of their cigarette is awesome? What the hell ever... there was nothing that tasted or smelled wonderful when I was a smoker. Now I don't have to deal with having 'ashtray mouth' or nasty smelling clothes either! Oh yeah, and I'm what some would say a MOD JUNKIE at this point, even over a year later. I'm like you Ripple, I call it a 'hobby', but some say I just traded one addiction for another. Those are just the dumb/uneducated individuals that I run across though... so it's all good.

I haven't really thought about the long term plan, for now I enjoy vaping, perhaps more than I ever did smoking. The availability of flavors, the constant evolution are all things of interest to me. Perhaps I have always wanted some form of hobby as well and vaping is becoming, to a degree, both a habit and a hobby. So while I would never say never, I can not say I see a strong likelihood I will stop vaping - but hey stranger things have happened

I have been vaping for almost 2 years--and honestly, I don't really have any plans to quit. I know for a fact--I would still be smoking if it hadn't been for vaping. I had absolutely quit quitting before I found vaping. I love the pacifier effect.
