E-Cigarettes / Vaping

[troywalkerphoto]

Logic is great. I find that the only reason that I am vaping is because its there (meaning I only use it 2 or 3 times a day at best). I will say that even though I don't inhale it takes the edge off.

How do you not inhale?

Here is mine:

A reg. cig u inhale and breath it in deep (lung it). I "vap" like smoking a cigar. Its pulled to the top of your throat. So the smoke is in your mouth for flavor. Since there is a small amount of nicotine its readily absorbed in the mouth tongue area no need to lung it. Besides "vap" is the same as theatrical smoke they just add nicotine.

I ended up getting the Halo G6 with the tanks rather than the cartomizers (sp?) I picked up some of there e-juices and also some from heathershevanlyvapes. Can't wait For it all to get here!

I've been using green smoke for over a year. I had the blu cig, and safe cig and really like the green smoke. they are a little pricey, but they usually have sells. One huge plus with vaporizing is that I could do while I'm at work.

The only people I have ever known to successfully quit did it cold turkey. Wish I could do that. Nothing worse than having someone say to you "you know that S#$t's no good for you right?" "Better than most as emphysema got my mom so thanks for the advice" kinda want to say "Really? OMG someone should let people know that!!"

Nothing worse than having someone say to you "you know that S#$t's no good for you right?"

I usually say "No, I didn't know that! Is it anything like spouting unsolicited crap?"

 

[beerfish]

Well, that escalated quickly...

I'm now vaping on an iTaste MVP and have a collection of clearos and cartos, along with a bunch of additional flavors and a backup Ego battery. I'm vaping a blueberry chocolate cheesecake that I blended myself right now.

Just over 8 weeks without a real cig!

Nice!

Oh and FYI for anyone in NJ. A great new store just opened in Fair Lawn. Very friendly people and a big supply of many vendors. Also a great place for emergency e-juice!

I've been seeing a ton of news articles on TV and in the paper stating how Ecigs are unhealthy doing their usual "end of the world" drama reporting. One report almost went as far as saying they are worse than cigarettes. Of course they aren't healthy, but they are way way better than smoking tobacco.....

Something to pay attention to. NYC and a bunch of cities/states are losing a bunch of tax revenue in tobacco because of the Ecigs. Not to throw conspiracy theory out there but theres been recent NYC legislation proposed to get Ecigs out of every store except dedicated smoke shops with the main goal to tax these Ecig products at the same tax rates as tobacco. If my memory serves me right its this month and next month that these new laws are supposed to be decided on. The timing is impeccable.

 

[cmantis]

That tax rate is 70% plus the sales tax...

 

[duke62]

Yeah some free society we live in. Cant make choices for ourselves and when we do its taxed FML

 

[tosiek]

75% + sales tax actually. The legislation issued in May that was never voted on would have classified Ecigs as tobacco products and increased the tax rate from 75% to 95% + sales tax. Plus it would put patches and nicotine lozenges in the same boat as tobacco products. A bunch of new things would have been taxed with it.

Thats why Ive been ordering my 'rolling' tobacco from out of state... However want to get off that stuff so hopefully my new tank and supplies will be here by the weekend.

Here is what my other one looks like:

The controls on both:

Yep. Even though a recent independent study from Drexel University proved that they were basically harmless.

There are a couple of issues at hand. One is the loss of tax revenue. New York claims that they want people to quit smoking, and runs terrible ads all the time, but when it comes down to it, they don't care about our health at all.

The other issue is that the big e-cig companies are pushing for regulation. While this sounds odd, the regulations would most likely cost them a few dollars, but destroy all of the small competition, making them millions of dollars.

The bottom line is, I've been a smoker for 20+ years. I've tried the patch, the lozenge, the gum, sunflower seeds, food, water, etc, etc... The e-cig is the only thing that has ever worked for me and many others. Now they want to destroy it, and if they do, they'll literally kill people as they return to smoking. Yeah... The government cares.
