E-cigarettes/Vapor devices

[burrocrat]

5 = $15

The fill aspect is simplistic, Unscrew liquid cap, unscrew reservoir, fill to level (see-through window). Screw reservoir on, screw on cap to liquid.

Takes longer to type it than do it. I order liquid from DFW = 30 MG = $12 lasts me a month.

if 30 ml ~ 30 packs, i am a 45-60 pack a month person. are you saying for 15 initial infrastructure investment and 25 per month i vape and deliver nicotine to my system all i want?

i calculate all the cartridge/liquid solitions down to 'per pack' equivalent cost. i can vape at $1.25 or less per pack vs. 5.25-6.75 per real pack of smokes at convenience store.

what do those atomizers run per pack equivalent? and how quick/easy to fill?

On a side note:

I can only speak to The Federal Aviation at the Academy, as they have implemented a banned on the use of any type of vapor devices (E-cigs) in any of the campus buildings..they are treating them as though they were just like cigarettes.

I don't get it either..The ones that use to toke in my classes, actually gave the room a rather pleasant aroma with the various flavors they came in..At least it was better than someone's fart.

burro,

Do you use the refillable cartomizers?

I use: LINK - EVOD

Which uses a reservoir and an atomizer. I got sick of carts after 2 and a half years of refilling and burning out.

Since I switched to the atomizer version 6 months ago, I am on my third atomizer. 5 atomizers = $15.....

Plus I can mix and change flavors easier.

FYI

a friend of mine offered to get me one of those fancy ones. i shied away because i am not really the hugh heffner silk smoking robe type. i'm more like give me a quick hit out back of the gym between classes kind of guy and show me your (oops got censored, i meant to say boobs).

i went with V2, off the internet. decent points and rewards program, good flavor, it is what i found and it is working. i somehow am attached to the white simple familiar cigarette form. i got an auto and a manual battery. i like the manual one because i can make it hit hard instead of sucking all the time.

i am finding that keeping up with the cartridge change outs is expensve and best to buy in bulk. i ordered some eliquid to save money but i think the hassle of filling individual cartridges over and over will turn out not worth the time vs. buying prefilled in bulk. i just want the nicotine right now and to not buy marlboros.

those atomizers with big resevoirs might work for me later. but i still am attached to the cigarette look and feel at this point.

I agree, filling those Carts up is a pain, like others, I've used them all, I happen to enjoy the flavor/hit profile of carts and found a great compromise with these (a cart surrounded by a tank). I have been using them for over a year, the carts also last longer because they never dry out.

Or eating a cheese Burger, But, that makes more sense..

i'd rather eat a cat, but it's so hard to get one to hold still long enough during the exfoliating process.

As long as you have a goal and a plan, it might work for you..seems you have the determination to succeed..stick to it..


To add..You once asked me how I did it...I just got home, back from my semi-annual post cancer check-up...after 5 years, All Clear..there's my motivation

thanks.

i had somebody ask me if i was worried about the health risks of vapor nicotine. i told them that is like asking a smoker if it hurts a little when they prick their finger with a needle after spending 30 years trying to hack their arm off with a machete.

the ecigs are a good crutch to hold the physical routine and timing and familiar delivery of the drug. i let myself vape as much as i want right now as long as i don't go buy a pack of smokes. after a few weeks clear maybe i will moderate frequency of vaping. then you can step down levels of nicotine from 2.4% - 1.8 1.2 - 0.6 - 0.0. at some point along the curve i imagine the whole exercise becoming silly and just throwing them away. that's the plan anyway. i've never been addicted to heroin, but i bet it is like this.

re pecker: i hardly ever use it anymore anyway.

re motivation: most addicts respond better to positive encouragement rather than negativity. progress is progress.

In all fairness, the same thing can be said about your cat...

You will not be free because the nicotine will eventually destroy every blood vessel in your body. Your legs will ache at night and your penis won't work without an injection.

o hell no. I can't have that.

ok, i am on the ecigs now.

there are no stores in my remote area. i have to advance order from the internet. i was surprised at how fast i go through them cartridges when not smoking any real cigarettes. i almost ran out once but the order got delivered literally within 2 hours of me taking lunch break and going to buy a carton.

i am going run out this week before another order gets here and have to go back to real smokes for a couple days. i hate those f*ckin things now. hot and foul after taste and they stink.

after this order and an emergency one am going to place first thing monday morning, then i should have enough inventory to coast along with regular discounted orders in advance to avoid shipping charges.

these are the best things ever. nothing else has worked, and i tried it all. i actually like and prefer them over real smokes. i have not gone without a cigarette for more than a day since 1984. i've done it for 3-4 days in row the last couple weeks.

i feel like a king, like i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, like i could actually get free of this gorilla on my back.

what is the manufacturer/brand name of the most widely used cannabis oil cartridges? in 5 years they will be huge like marlboro or camel. who makes the magic stoner cartridges? i want to get rich not high.

'snicker, snicker'... like when we all missed the boat when didn't get into the rubber gloves back in the '80s...

... Its a matter of getting the right battery, tank, and juice working together in unison, once you have that, it's nirvana. Feel free to window shop and let us know what's available in your area before you drop any coin

Agreed, I have some friends that use the heavy duty versions that run $400.00 for the kit and they build their own atomizers. I suggest computer junkies get a pass-through because they rock when gaming or trading and you can disconnect to go to the head and come back and hook up....I even have battery packs in a backpack I can hookup my cell phone/pass throughs when I'm mobile!

is this like a 12 step thread? hello, my name is burro and i've smoked a pack a day for 30 years.

i wish i could quit. i used the $50 xmas money my dad gave me to buy ecigs. i got a cigar box like thing with two that you can recharge and some cartidges. one you just suck on and the other you have to push a little button. i haven't used them yet.

they came with some disposable non-recharge samples. i have used all of those. my favorite was zig-zag.

i just go buy marlboro reds box now again. i would be healthy and wealthy if i never smoked. $5 x 365 x 30 = lots of cash.

Cheap setups offer little chance of success for the committed smoker. The setups I have hit like a freight train, I want for nothing. I'd advise to find a decent Vape store in your area, let someone with experience guide you to the right setup that will meet your needs.

are e-cigs really safer than regular cigarettes?

I quit smoking about 9 years ago for the most part, i still have an occasional cigarette once in a while when i'm drinking with the guys. I like the buzz but stay off it because of health reasons

Safe is an interesting term. If you shop accordingly, the juices can be 100% organic and inhaling, by default, could be considered safe for human consumption. You don't have to do nicotine, I do it just for the sensation of smoking, but don't want the addiction. After 6 years of not smoking, my wife enjoys her vanilla and cinnamon, non-nicotine, version because it helps her not to snack.
