My wife had sexsomnia. I love it! Anything is possible I guess.

I have never used over 24mg that's the ceiling most suppliers seem to have. With that said if it satisfies you and you aren't having excessive heartburn, dehydration, or headaches then your body is accepting that level. I found 24 to be right from the start for me and now I am mostly 18. My wife still vapes 3-4ml of 24mg a day with no issues.

What's a good nicotine level?
bcartervol98 replied to Crazyavonlady's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
One piece of advice to give is do nto put pressure on yourself to "drop down". Many like myself, my wife, and a lot of people on here never have any intention of dropping down. I will most likely be vaping 18mg minimum the rest of my life. I doubt my wife will ever drop from 24mg. I like nicotine like many like caffeine and both have very similar chemical compositions. Again it bears saying: NICOTINE IS NOT THE ENEMY TOBACCO AND ALL THE CHEMICALS AND CARCINOGENS ARE While I applaud anyone that wants to get to 0 nic or drop levels gradually for their successes, there are a lot of noobs on here that need to realize that dropping in nicotine is not a requirement to be considered successful. Just my two cents again. It seems there is an epidemic of people that think everyones goal is to eventually get to 0 nic and in reality most just want to stay off analogs. -
Another unknowing noob that doesn't realize he is doing things in a very real and dangerous way both to himself and the movement to keep vaping a positive thing, allowed , and legal. It goes boom and it's all over national news. There is an epidemic lately of noobs wanting to jump right into advanced Mods. This is exactly why most vets recommend against it.

How do you test flavors at your local B&M?
bcartervol98 replied to fishguy1123's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I don't. I did once but approaching a year cigarette free and vaping this long I know what I like and it is not available locally. I also find the tester 0 nic thing to be a deterrent. If I cannot taste the actual liquid I will be vaping what good does it do to taste it? I still vape 18 and sometimes 24mg with no plans to drop any farther. A 0 nic liquid will taste completely different with the higher levels of nicotine. -
Vamo would be my suggestion I still have a V3 kicking strong!

My wife and I have been on the same page about almost everything for almost 15 years. I'm very lucky I guess. I just cannot imagine not being allowed to vape in my home. Yes my wife vapes too but I think she would rather have me alive than not have harmless quickly dissipating water vapor in the house even if she didn't. In the end everyone is different, relationships are different that's just my two cents.

Ecblends, Vapedudes, sweet- vapes are good choices to try.

I could not agree more. Everyone can use whatever parenting style they want, but what is best for me is not a "sheltering" approach. I remember when I went to college there were kids from a specific christian school that had tough rules, the toughest I have ever heard. They even had to follow school rules when on break and not on school grounds or face punishment at school. They have a tradition at the University of Tennessee called their "Freshman Breakfast" where they shotgun a 12 pack of beer the first morning they wake up "free" as they put it. My son has grown up around smoking, drinking, partying in the cove every weekend. He has seen or heard about everything at this point and in the 3rd grade he has yet to make anything but an A, has never gotten in trouble at all. Its all about education. That is what is lacking, and education trumps sheltering in my mind 100% of the time.

Yea I agree100% and to be honest had issue with the way OPs question was worded lol. IN my marriage of approaching 15 years we do not "let each other do things" we discuss and agree together. We vape together and do it everywhere in our home and vehicles regardless of who is around. I do not vape in other peoples homes without asking but have never been told no since most of my friends are smokers or converts to vaping. One thing about "around kids". When we smoked we smoked outside almost always, except in the colder months I put an exhaust fan in my basement bathroom about 1000% the power required for such a space. Almost acted like a vacuum lol. We did not smoke in the vehicle with our son or around him inside although we did nothing to hide the fact that we smoked. He had always had allergies and had to take allergy medicine since he was like 3. He was a huge motivating factor in beginning to vape for my wife and I. We never realized the amount of our life we lost by having to go outside so often, or to the basement, or whatever. We couldn't start and finish a movie without pausing to go smoke. Not a problem anymore. Also my sons allergies and coughs have completely cleared up. He is 9, he knows the names of my liquids by the smell lol. He is no longer on medicine and our switch to vaping and choice to do it around him has been endorsed by our pediatrician, my cardiologist (or former cardiologist since he released me from his treatment about 6 months into my vaping switch), our general practitioner. I have been allowed to vape in the hospital as a patient and a visitor. Even the militant anti smoking majority owner in the dealer group I run is thrilled. I vape wherever I want at work and we are down to 2 smokers at work on our insurance policy. There are now 12 that vape and just last week our health insurance rep said they just got the memo that someone who vapes should be listed as a "Non Smoker" on their profile. I wouldn't say the jury is out at all. I will say big tobacco is hating the fact that there is a product that is relatively harmless to the user, completely harmless to those around them and cannot believe the amount of $$$$ they will lose over the next decade. They are trying to figure out how to either vilify the act of vaping or become so heavily invested in it that it doesn't matter. I would say that the cost or producing e-liquid and devices would be far less than the process of growing and processing tobacco.

All good except the Razorback thing lol. I run a GM auto group, used to drive a truck (local shuttle not OTR) and have a BA in Communication and Broadcasting. I am also a boat addict and spend way too much money on them but am drawn to the water. Jimmy Buffets "A Pirate Turns 40" is like my life anthem.

Everyone has somethin wrong with em lol

You have an incredible resemblance to my oldest son lol.

What's YOUR fav VG E-Juice?
bcartervol98 replied to StankMonster's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Yes I take one out. It's super easy. Pop it open and pull one out. -
It's really easy I do it with my fingers and you will have to with 100% VG.

What's YOUR fav VG E-Juice?
bcartervol98 replied to StankMonster's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
My all day vape is and has been Endless Summer from Fuzion. It is VG base with no added PG. -
Is this any good for newbie
bcartervol98 replied to LiL Miss DeL ReY Vape's topic in General Vaping Discussion
If you decide to dump one of your Vamos let me know. I love mine and wouldn't mind having a backup. It's the only APV I like or want. -
70 is about the max without modifying coils
-
Well and more vapor lol
-
100% VG will not work well with most tanks and clearos and is mainly used by drippers it seems.
-
I prefer more VG than PG but still like some PG in there. 65-70%vg is my sweet spot. I no longer want really any throat hit under normal circumstances and just like the way it tastes better.

A coating from China is no bueno. I am glad I stuck with clear. So much bad stuff that comes out of China where there are little to no safety regulations.

It is a regular topic of conversation between my wife and I. Literally have changed nothing else in our lifestyle. Still eat, drink the same things. No new medicine, less medication actually since vaping has allowed me to stop taking blood pressure and anxiety medicine and my wife no longer takes her sinus medicine. For some reason, we both share the same "odor" in that department. Its weird lol.
