Adulting sucks. :(

Congrats, @Bebop! Four years isn't anything to hide in a corner, you should've shouted from the rooftops. @VapeMama, glad to see you! And we need to see you more often around here, you've been pretty quiet lately.

Saw that the other day, it's an interesting article. We need more like this!

Thanks, everyone! @Bebop you weren't too far behind me when you came on. I'm glad you came to VT -- and stayed, this place wouldn't be the same without you and your wit and knowledge that you pass to new and experienced vapers alike. @Edna, you've been a very welcome addition and a very quick learner! I look forward to seeing your first year vaperversary soon. @Earthling789, you know... I might actually have some old CE4s in my stash o'stuff. Might need to take a look one of these days and go through all that to see what gets unearthed. Sort of like a vaping time capsule, lol. Thanks for sticking around and being such a valuable resource to old and new vapers. @Walt, this place is special because we have members like you so come, ask questions, listen to the answers given, and then pass that along to new people coming in. I'm looking forward to seeing you around for years to come!

Even after year of trying everything that was available, I was never able to stop smoking. One day, five years ago, I saw a co-worker outside sucking on what looked like a pen (eGo T 650 mAh) and exhaling plumes of what looked like smoke but smelled so much better. I stopped and starting asking questions. That night after work I stopped by the B&M and bought myself my first vape gear: an eGo-T 650 mAh battery, two CE4 tanks with 1.5 ohm coils with a 5-pack back up, an AC adapter, a charging cable, and three bottles of juice. Back then, it cost a total of $165.00 A few days later I went back and discovered that eGo had a new battery out -- a 650 passthrough! And Kanger put out a new tank -- a T2 with top coils/short wick. I started vaping and collecting more back ups, more juices, never really looking back. The six packs of smokes I had in the fridge remained there for another two years until I finally threw them away. The first six months or so, I'd tempt fate and would light up just to see if I still liked it or not. The answer would be... not. Haven't looked back since. Around the first six month mark, I was playing on the internet and discovered a different vape forum. It was too big, the people weren't very patient with "noobs", nor were they very kind or friendly so I continued looking around. Hey! Check out this new place I found! It's called Vapor Talk. The people were very friendly, very knowledgeable, and I felt welcomed here. It's where I call 'home' now. The people are wonderful, they are all about helping new vapers with their questions no matter how many times they answer the same thing. They enjoy derailing threads, but that only makes the conversation more interesting and the subject comes back around... eventually. Yes, we do periodically get some bad apples here, but it's rare and they usually get tired of our slower pace and go away. The good ones stay. Eventually, I was asked to become an admin here, and it was a scary thing, and I'm still learning. This long-winded thing is my way of saying a BIG THANK YOU! to @Christopher for starting this forum, to my fellow admins and mods, and to all the wonderful members here (both old and new), who make the forum a place to hang my hat. These days, after all this time, I no longer have any doubts that I'll ever go back to smoking. Vaper Talk has played a huge part in helping with this. Happy 5-year vaperversary to me!

So far I'm liking it a lot. The Ace of Spades sampler comes with two cartridges (basically cartomizers) filled with a higher nic (16 mg I believe) juice in menthol and one in tobacco flavor. The automatic cut off is about a four second draw? Decent vapor and throat hit too. I would definitely recommend this for those times when you need more nic, less time to vape-types of situations. You'll need a thinner juice for the filler material to absorb -- I would go more VG than a 50/50.

Got these in a few days ago but I've not been feeling well and forgot to post here. All from the VT store: 1 - Kanger Aerotank 2 2 - 5-packs of coils for the above 1 - Aspire Nautilus X (@Christopher's recommendation and I'm really liking it so far!) 1 - 5-pack 1.8 ohm coils for the above Then, @Christopher added Ace of Spades pack, extra cartridges, juice, eGo battery holder... and his generosity knows no bounds! I'm trying the Ace of Spades cig-alike, and so far I'm liking it a lot more than I would've thought for stealth vaping. Still in the testing phase right now but so far I'm pretty impressed at its performance.

Oh, we can get derailed at any point, lol. Seems like our attention spans are -- LOOK! A SQUIRREL!

Hi Dave, I'm moving this over to the General Vaping discussion so it'll be seen more. The Lasted Products is more for rolling out new products that others may not be aware of yet.

Well... I don't know about 'discourse', but we sure can talk up a storm given the right incentive and if it's to derail a thread, lol.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Nice thinking outside the box!

Nice!

Thank you! With my eye sight being what it is, I have a 25" monitor just so I can blow things up to 150% for easy viewing. Aaaahhh, this is much better. Thanks again!

Noticed that there's a new forum layout where there's the newest topics and new posts on the right hand side. Just my personal preference but it makes the content of the posts feel too squished together and busy. Is there a way for us to customize how we look at the pages and take that out if we want?

http://www.vapingpost.com/2017/05/03/air-sampling-confirms-secondhand-vapor-is-harmless/ There's the link to the original post.

I'm with @Walt about the models. I would like to see a hunky beefcake model one of the men's t-shirts, please.

Personal preference? That would be the first logo and not the distressed one. Guess I'm old school and don't care for the "distressed, it comes looking like the screen printer had an off day" style. On t-shirts, how about one with a small logo on the right breast area only? I would love to see totes with the logo on one side only. That would get lots of use from me. Have you looked into possible vape gear organizers? That with the VT logo might be something to consider? Don't know how many people would be interested, might also do a survey here to see?

Mmmmmm Vanilla bean ice cream. Oh. You're talking about the flavoring. Now you've got me thinking about wanting real ice cream, lol.

I can personally vouch for the Eleaf iPower 80W TC. They're good workhorses, very versatile, and they last forever -- since they hold a 5000 mAh battery inside. Even rotating between two, I only have to charge them about once a week, and I tend to chain vape when not at work.

Any order you make that's coming from China is going to take awhile. Usually a looooong while. If you want something sooner, you need to order from a vendor that's based in the US... you know... like the Vapor Talk store that's warehoused in California.

Can you tell us a brand name? That would be helpful.

Please stop posting the same thing in more than one place. Post once. Wait for someone to reply. If no one does, don't keep posting the same thing over and over. You'll wind up getting a warning or banned for spamming the forum. Thank you for your cooperation. Now, I'm off to delete your duplicate posts.

Next month I'll be celebrating my five year anniversary of vaping. Since then, my dental hygienist tells me that she hardly has to do anything to clean my teeth anymore compared to when I was still smoking cigarettes. My teeth have never been whiter with little to no discoloration other than a slight staining due to the coffee and tea I drink -- not the vaping. That said, I vape dark, sweet juices as my all day vape with no problems, but then I also make sure that the juice in my tank is clean and I change out my coils as soon as the performance starts to drop. Hope you find a fix for your issue.

Glad you found a fix for it!
