This is a great forum and I think there are a lot of great folks here who are passionate about vaping. I started my 'journey' with vapor in mid December 2014 in an attempt to quit smoking. I was very successful with my attempt. On December 17, I smoked my last cigarette and switched completely to vapor. Between now (March 29, 2015) and the time I started with vapor, I made the changes from 18mg nicotine e-juices all the way down to zero. I have been for 3 days now with no vapor and no nicotine with ZERO withdrawal. I hope others make the attempt as well. Cheers!

I switched over to .25mg solution on Friday. I think this will be my last few days of vapor...

I just loaded my Nautilus tank with the last of my 1mg solution. I cleaned out my other Nautilus tank and put a new coil in it. I'll be switching to .5mg solution later tonight or tomorrow. This has been a fun journey though. I smoked my last regular cigarette on December 18th and started vaping 100% with 18mg solutions. I have cut from 18 to 15 to 12 to 10 to 9 to 8 to 6 to 5 to 4 to 3 to 1 and now to .5 and headed to .25. Not bad for 3 months. I have suffered practically NO withdrawal symptoms except for when I first made the switch from tobacco to vapor and those symptoms were minor. I'm guessing I'll be off the vapor within about two more weeks...

I'm almost done with the vapor I have been vaping 1mg solutions for the last week and I'll finish my stock of that up in the next day or two. I have 60ml of .5mg and 60ml of .25mg ready to go and then I'll vanish like the vapor we make...

I'm just waiting for the guvment to start finding ways to tax this stuff. I'm really amazed that it's not already in place. Especially here in NC. Big Tobacco here in NC and Virginia is already in the game. VUSE is an RJ Reynolds product. These guys will be in on the game and these products are available in about any convenient store you walk in around here. VUSE, Blu, Mark Ten, and several others I see regularly. My estimations: 1. In time, you won't be able to buy e-juices online just like you can't buy cigarettes online. 2. There will be state and federal taxes involved in the purchase of e-juices. 3. Manufacturers of e-juices will become regulated to death and the cost of e-juices, even though I believe they are already too high, will get even higher. 4. Liquid Nicotine solutions for making homemade e-juices will become taxed and regulated as well, making it more difficult and costly to make the product.

Has anyone suggested trying a higher airflow setting and a lower wattage setting to ease the hit?

Interesting... I would have never though of that. I already have a stir plate that I use for making yeast starters for my homemade beer and I'm gonna have to give this a try!

Well for whatever its worth, I'm glad I discovered vaping. I had made several miserably unsuccessful attempts at quitting smoking prior to moving to vapor. The funny thing is I had quit two times before and not had a real issue with it either time. This third time has been a disaster though. I did some research about vapor before I made the switch and could find no conclusive evidence or reasoning why I should avoid it. This article makes it rather clear, if you read into it, that even if vapor IS harmful that it's no where near as harmful as smoke.

I second / third / whatever on the call for 40pg/60vg mixture. I have been making my own juices for a while now and this is the ratio I like best.

Mine is still coming back after two months away from cigarettes. I can definitely taste differences and I can also smell a lot better now too...

I'm not sure about the MVP, but the eLeaf iStick stops charging when it's got a full battery. I bet the MVP does also.

Greetings and welcome

I'm currently down from 18mg where I started in December and using homemade 4mg recipes. I'm finishing off a 60ml bottle of a 4mg recipe I recently made. I'll be making my next two 60ml batches at 3mg. I'll go down to 2ml after than and then to 1ml hopefully. When I get down to 1ml, I plan to see if I can go for 24 hours without vaping without any jonesing Coming down this far has greatly reduced my 'desire' for the nicotine. I can get up in the morning now and not go straight for my vaporizer.

Congrats!

This is one of my two jobs: This was a recent dinner I prepared
