It's Hard To Go Back To Your Old E-Cigs
keenan replied to jmhester's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Chris, some of your typos are priceless ! The only old ecig I have is the Blu, and oddly enuff I DID pick it up this morning out of curiosity, because we were talking about it in the Chatroom last night. I can honestly say, I am just as disappointed with it today as I was the day i got it. Love my 510, but I AM getting a VP2 someday. -
I dont know, Ive always told my wife, Id rather live in a tent with her and be happy, then a mansion with her and be miserable.

Interestingly, this has brought something to my attention about myself. OK, before I started vaping, my whole life I have NEVER been the type to worry about things like "Am I eating right", "How many calories or carbs does this have", "Am I getting enough exercise". Things like that I could really not be bothered with, cause I KNEW the answer would ultimately always be a big fat resounding "NO, you idiot, yer gonna DIE". And I had other things on my mind like "Do we have enough money for food and bills", "Is the car gonna make it another week", "Do I have enough money for cigarettes and beer". I guess I had the macho mentality going where I thought I was invincible. I ALWAYS figured, "Hell, If they sell it, I can eat it< or drink it." Then God decided to give me a polite nudge, and I had a heart attack. If youve never had a heart attack, let me tell you, theres just NO point in me explaining the pain, cause you wouldnt understand unless you've had one. Its kinda like your wife telling you about giving birth, she describes the pain, but all you hear is "Blah, blah, blah, hurt like hell, blah, blah, you sonofabitch,blah,blah." Lets just say, heart attacks friggin hurt. I wasnt too happy with God at this point, and I mustve let it show, because 2 weeks later I had another one. So I said to myself, "self, I think he means business". Being the stubborn mic that I am, I decided this time I had better listen to my wife and let her make me the healthier things I always avoided. Before i could really get that plan in motion, I had another one. This one was the most severe one. This was the one that the Doctor came into the room and gave me the look of, "Look you idiot, I have patients that are actually TAKING my advice, I really dont have time for any more of this." That kinda scared me, cause if your DR. isnt going to give you 100% because you're not giving 100%, your time is gonna run out. While in the hospital that time, I had a series of mini strokes. Again, no point in explaining. Now mind you, I was only 43 at the time. My mother died in 1967 at the age of 42.I didnt want my kids to grow up that way too. So for a little while, maybe a year, I watched out for myself a little. And I emphasize, A little. Before long, when enough time ran by and I didnt feel like I was in danger, I slipped back into my old ways. Mind you, throughout ALL of this, I NEVER gave up smoking. WASNT an option. I honestly thought the stress of trying to quit would DEFINITLY do me in. Then about a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. OK God, dont you have BIGGER fish to fry (bad metaphore intended). So for about a month or 2 I HAD to watch what I ate, and I got it under control. Now, I just took the long way around the block to get to this point - When I started vaping, and its only been about a month and a half now, I am CONSTANTLY watching what I eat, drink, try to get a little exercise ( and for me, using the scroll wheel on my mouse was exercize), just like a whole new awakening to things I NEVER would have done before. And its not because I was scared into it, or had the fear of God put in me, its because now I WANT to live better. Just getting back a little thing like lung capacity has started a domino effect and triggered something in my mind that makes me WANT to be healthier. Now, Im not running out and buying a treadmill or anything, but there IS a difference, and NOTHING the FDA or any Govt entity tells me is gonna change me back. I WILL break the law to do this if I have to. Anyway, that was quite the rant, so Ill take a break now.

Just CANT get away from Camel Wides from wordup

WOW, that read like a Stephen King novel ! Thank God for no serious injuries. But remember, we used the take chances like that with analogs. I remember a friend of mine whose Bic exploded in his hand. 2nd degree burns. And how many burn holes are in my cars front seat ? I stopped counting. This story is a good heads up, but Vaping is still far safer.

I Need Some Guidance In Picking The Right E-Cigarette

I keep trying to change my avatar here, but for some reason it just resizes with the same pic. -
Heres one that would help me out. Im still a noobie in the juice dept. I know the obvious flavors, i.e. Camel, Marlboro, etc. But now that I have my tastebuds back, Some of the Juice names dont really explain what they are. The only one I really know is 555, cuz I bought from Arno after he explained it to me. And obviously anything with mint or fruit in the description is easy enuff. But stuff like RY3 or RY4 and things like that, I have NO idea if its something I would like. Is there a "Juice Dictionary" anywhere, or could we make on up ? Sometimes I feel like Im in a French Restaurant, and I SOOO dont want any snail.

I havent heard anything bad about NPRO, but epuffer Ive heard a couple of horror stories. Same problems as the Blu. Have you talked to arno yet. Ive also heard some good things about volcano. Supposedly a re-worked Blu that doesnt have the problems Blu had. -

FT, my apologies. I didnt mean to get you in trouble, and wasnt annoyed. I thought it was cool, and I really DID try to kill it. Floriduh is FULL of bugs -
Im actually not a Deadhead, though I knew eventually this would come up. Its just the album cover artwork has always been a favorite of mine, since I first saw it about 30 years ago.I actually dont care for the Dead. Im a HUGE early Elton John, Beatles and Rush fan. I always thought it would make an awesome tattoo. Im even too chicken to get a tat. AND I WAS IN THE NAVY ! What a wuss

OK, I REALLY got a napkin and tried to kill that bug ! -
For me, personally, I look at it like ANY addiction, alcohol, heroin, whatever, you are ALWAYS addicted, the addiction doesnt go away because youve stopped. Once youve had a taste, you cant put that toothpaste back in the tube. You cant "cure" an addiction, you have to control it. Thats just how I help myself

What I dont understand is, and its because Im not up on the politics of all this, is that if e cigs are clearly a MORE effective nicotene delivery system than anything they offer (Big Pharma), WHY arent they jumping on the bandwagon. Not That I WANT them to, but why? Anyone know
