lets have a civil factual debate aboug E-Cigs

[jtuck004]

108. One of these days you will stand next to a smoker and realize you have changed.

And at that moment you realize you can smell again.

There is a vaper forum at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ <- Lots of very helpful info

I was fortunate that I only had a limited amount to spend to start, so I ran into the small portables. I've spent as much on those as I would have a Provari but that gave me backups. Even so, at $9 or so a pack like cigs are in WA state, it doesn't take long at all to recover that cost.

Joyetech came out with a small variable voltage battery, which I use, and that gives me some of those features. I have to keep a charged one or two around all the time.

I'm really glad it is starting to work for you. I really do think there ought to be some consultation with people. Some information we think we know about nicotine, levels, what they might expect, things that alter it, how to use 3 or 4 different vaping pipes, etc. Maybe a helpline...might be one, haven't seen it marketed. I should open a kiosk.

It was just by chance my wife saw the coupons on the back of the receipt at the store. She knew I was trying them, but , and she knew I was playing with them so she gave it to me. And it was just by chance I ran into a clerk whose Mission in life was to convert tobacco smokers to these, and she used high nicotine levels in the beginning to do it.

I thought I had found THE store. Unfortunately, the grocery store they contracted with printed just bushels of their coupons, so now they aren't taking them. Sign on front door - "We are not taking coupons". I REALLY liked that store, and I REALLY hate that they are handling it like this. The store may have printed many more than they expected, but this strategy, I think, will cost them customers. I went in the other day and the woman was reading her bible on the couch. She is the very nicest person, and frequently hits off her Provari that she carries. I just can't go back in as much because I hate being given something only to be told I can't have it. And there is a LOT of competition, very good competition, and... Anyway, I think it is shortsighted of them. I have never had to wait on anyone, they really don't seem very busy. But maybe they make it up in volume. <G> Their prices aren't too bad.

I am an operator and fixer of things, so the whole mixing and rebuilding that one can with these if they wish is right up my alley. Lots of youtube stuff on this.

Congratulations on what you've done so far, however. I don't know if it will be the same for you, but I smoked tobacco for 42 years, and I still find myself reaching for them. Mine went around my neck on a lanyard until I could put it in my pocket and set it down once in a while. Harder to do with the Provari. Regardless, if you have it in hand 24x7, and you find a mix that satisfies your cravings, it will be there, instead, as a substitute. And perhaps the more you use the substitute the more you get used to it.

Kick back and take your medicine
