In my previous post I mentioned that I was a judge at a story telling contest. The venue is on the top floor of a building with no lift. there are quite a few levels of stairs and once inside the venue you are basically in that room without escape. Of course one can go out but it's not very polite and you are rather expected to stay for the duration. That can be 3 to 4 hours. I've not done this contest for about 3 years so I was so pleasantly surprised. The last time I did it no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on my duties, my mind kept saying, "how can I go sneak a smoke"? like every 5 seconds. This time, I couldn't believe it was happening that I really didn't think about missing my vape. I was really concentrating on critiquing the kid's stories. I only thought about vaping when I had to put my hand in my pocket for a pen or something and felt my mods. Even then I was able to go right back to what I was doing with only a minor craving for the vape. I was so amazed! I think this was the first time I've been in a closed venue since I started vaping. I've always been so paranoid about not having equipment failure without even waiting to see if a craving happened. In my mind this goes to support the argument that all those other chemicals in tobacco smoke are at least as responsible for tobacco addiction as nicotine. I also mentioned that I went to a pub with friends after the contest and saw a lady with a very cool PV that I didn't get to find out about. But I didn't mention one of the greatest moments of that little session. I was leaving and had to pass a stand of trees where some of the staff from the pub were having a smoke break. One of the guys had a very cool 1960's Michael Jackson afro and wasn't smoking but vaping an eGo twist. I had to stop and comment. I told him he looked so cool, retro and modern at the same time. He said afros are coming back. Made me feel so young again for just a moment. (SIGH)

I love paying it forward to those in this forum. Without all the great people here helping me at first I have no doubt I would have failed in my attempt to kick the analogs. The other "big" forum is filled with trolls and people there seem to want to get a laugh instead of helping noobs out. I feel a debt of my life to those that helped.....you know who you are!

Toughness can be alleviated if you marinate overnight....

I have a possible solution to the expense of kids and in laws. First pre heat oven to 350f ..............................

6mg Nic https://fivepawns.com/shop/grandmaster/ WOW! What a total treat - creamy peanut butter, banana cream and caramel - so buttery smooth - Absolutley worth $27.50 for 30 ml. Very pleasurable vape, easily could be an ADV. I'm vaping it on a Aspire Nautilus using the iTaste 134 mini. It is amazing to see how fast my sense of taste is changing since I got-off tobacco. I've already lowered my nic from 12 to 6 in just 18 days. -CouldMaker

I'm looking for a really good coffee or espresso flavored liquids. I've been looking, but whenever I read the reviews on the ones that I find, the reviews are all negative. So, you experienced vapers.... whats your suggestions? Michelle

Hello. Kind of new to Vaping as I've only been doing it since August 1st. (When I quit smoking.) I just recently purchased an evod vv3. With the pro tank 3. I Love it. I just wish I would have started sooner.

Earthling, I 100 % agree. Just think if there weren't other addictive properties to tobacco products we could have all quit with a patch and fake cigarette for the hand to mouth easily. Frankly, the patch did nothing, I repeat NOTHING for me. The gum too. If it were nicotine to blame those patches would work fine as a quitting method. That's why it makes me crazy that the ilk of FDA'rs keep the myth alive that nicotine replacement therapy will succeed. Such BS. They went on a huge crusade to convince us that nicotine was the bad guy and that big tobacco was covering this up. How bloody stupid. From my now recently discovered concept that no matter how paranoid I was about keeping my vape going because of how I used to feel about smoking that it really isn't even noticeable that I'm missing the nic if something else interesting is going on. Nicotine is nothing more that like a caffeine buzz. The rest of the stuff in tobacco was what should have been discussed. Those fools should have required big tobacco to disclose ingredients like all other consumables. Warnings and dead baby pics don't do anything to curb smoking, but disclosure sure could've helped. This is awesome because I now just might live long enough to get the point across! YAY!

Personally, I don't see how anybody could do an analog after vaping. For me it was 'instant switch' for good. Started at 24mg, now down to 6. I still have my last unopened pack bought July 2, 2013. I still look at it occasionally just to bring out an 'ugh'. IMO they have no taste and stink. Plus I've probably netted $1400 in savings so far. The only drawback I have is that I vape more than I smoked. But I guess that's because I can do it ANYWHERE.........no stink. And IMO, if you think you can 'gradually' switch.......forget it.

Some good peeps around these parts!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. During the day (working), I hit my MOD or APV fairly regularly, but when I'm working on a vehicle, mowing grass, or spending the day with the kids, I rarely think "where's my vape?", lol, and when I do, I realize I can live without it for another hour or so Last Saturday, the kids had me so busy that I barely vaped half of a 1.5ml KPT3 mini... ALL DAY! If I were still smoking, I would have ripped through at least a pack I fully agree... big tobacco has spent the past century figuring out how to increase the addictive properties of analogs to keep you buying their products! Analogs, unlike other "addictive products" do not only affect those with addictive personalities... so the manufacturers had to MAKE them addictive, to keep you buying them!

I was thinking of buying one, just wasn't sure if it would be worth it for me. I had a DNA 30 device and never even went above 18 watts... Lol

sgibby88 - You'll love that Russian 91%! I have two (a V2 and a V1), and the flavor is amazing. One thing to watch for is how you wick it (plenty of good youtube videos on how-to)... too little and it will flood! I also find that my flavor is best between 1.2 and 1.8 Ohms. Vaping@907... Welcome!!

I feel the same way. I started 2 weeks ago. Went to vaping from smoking and wish I would've done it a lot sooner. I went with an rdna with a nautilus mini and going to pick up a Russian 91 tomorrow after work

oh you guys are soooo bad!

I might be going on Saturday as well.

I recommend he spends the money where its needed, you stick with the one battery you have for now. There might be a surprise in the box of Juice Im sending. Patience young Grasshopper!

When you start vaping, a rare few of us can make the change to vaping on day one and not look back... but it is a rare few Several members here have admitted to hanging onto that last pack (or carton) for weeks, months, even years after vaping... just in case... There's nothing wrong with slipping back to an analog, seriously! But each time you do, you'll find they are less appealing than you remember. They'll taste worse, smell worse, and make you feel ill... and the longer you can go without them, the more pronounced the effect will be. Bebop is spot-on... Nicotine is only one of 4000+ chemicals you are/were addicted to, on top of the hand-to-mouth action and smell of the smoke! Vaping is a good way to quit, but you have to rid yourself of all the other toxins by sticking with vaping. Flavor, nicotine, vapor, and hand-to-mouth action will help you with those cravings you have, but don't beat yourself up if you slip and have a smoke while you're training your body and mind to accept a (healthier) alternative. The cigarette police won't come and kick down your door... unless of course you live in NYC or LA

Do a search in e-liquids sub forum for "coffee". We coffee lovers love to talk about it. Lots of good advice in those threads and they're not too old.

You do realize that by using commercial tobacco to do this, you are also adding any chemicals that were added to it to your vape right? I do not recommend doing this if you want chem free E-Liquid.

Loving the end of that article... "use only as a last resort to stop smoking. " Wonder if they have the same thoughts towards drugs that cause suicidal thoughts/tendancies in enough people to have alternatives to it. Doubtful, someone is getting paid lots of money for those, you know, with "regulation".

Hi Folks, Please ensure liquid reviews are left in the e Liquid review forum and not here in e Liquid Discussion. Reviews posted in this area will be moved or deleted. We want to ensure the forum is kept as organized as possible as our sub forums grow. Thanks!

Just a quick suggestion if I may, if you could invest in ultratronic for speed steeping so it can be ready upon delivery. I have tried it before and it works well. Just a thought.

I thought it was going to be more of a vanilla flavor. Oooh well good thing it was only like 4 bucks. Lol.

So many people believe the stigma that nicotine is the SOLE addictive chemical in cigarettes, and now e-cigarettes. That's a complete and utter LIE. Yes, nicotine is an addictive chemical, but only mildly addictive. It acts the exact same as caffeine does, giving an energy boost or "buzz" as well as thinning out the veins. Is it completely harmless? No, but the fact some states and cities are outlawing e-cigs due to them being as harmful as cigarettes is stupid and a childish mistake. They're as harmful as coffee, but you don't see them closing down or banning coffee shops, do you? http://ehealthforum.com/health/nicotine-myth-busted-nicotine-does-not-cause-addiction-t341366.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC19495/ http://www.statepress.com/archive/node/7194 My buddy did the research and sent me the links, I didn't understand all of the terminology in the second link, but still, it's kind of shocking how this isn't publicly known or addressed.

They suck

Only 2 coffees I've tried, vape dudes Irish coffee is good. And Mr E liquid GTFO. I like both

925 from GLV is pretty good.

You can't hold me to any of these. I like 'em. Sweet- vapes "Starbuckets" Vapedudes - "Mocha Java " and "Mocha Java Drizzle" (if you like caramel drizzle) My absolute favorite was Lush Vapor "cappuccino" but they stopped making it, i dont know why. I've been protesting ever since Coffee flavors must not be popular. They are hard to find! This is not good because coffee is my all day vape
