Any Vapers?

Congrats Derek, great job!

Well done Derek :)

Are you noticing any tightness in the chest at all since you stopped? By the time I stopped completely last year I could feel that gradually getting worse with it taking some time to ease off where I no longer noticed it now only a little bit. That's the irritation in the passage ways mostly due to breathing in warm vapor that still reveals that while lessening over time as the irritation clears up.

Congrats Derek

Every time I think you all are nuts with all this kit, I remember that it's keeping you from smoking. So that's a better trade. A Guy

If you're asking me that, I hadn't really thought about it, but maybe a little, now that you mention it.

Another interesting side effect though.

Before finally reaching the point where I already knew I would no longer be "lighting up" I had already been cutting down due to the accumulative result of 35+yrs. of smoking and how I was noticing the tightness and irritation as I was already gradually reducing how much I was smoking in the last few years up until the fall of 2012 when first starting off. It became even more noticeable if lighting up another soon after the first. This however was noticed from smoking menthol not regular tobacco.

A better trade? Well consider not only the $$$$$ saved as far as what it usually costs to vape but consider the health costs smoking can bring about! The Big Pharmaceticals however hate ecigs since they prefer to have you sick and depending on them! $$$$$$$$$ in their pockets! NO THANKS! :)

Thanks Bill, some of us are still nuts. I wont point any fingers though.

"aahaaa wweeeee he he haaa uuhhh?" "Grrrr enough of that!" "could be!"

I never got any tightening myself ... unless I did and just do not remember it.

But I do remember after 2 weeks or so of vaping having coughing fits. I'd be hacking up nasty stuff too. I thought at the time maybe I was allergic. It cleared up, came back a week later then was gone.
Apparently, from what I read its a natural "Lung Purge" as they call it. happens mostly to those of us who were heavy smokers before hand for a long period of time.


Vaping probably isn't the healthiest thing in the world, but Im convinced it's a huge deal better than big tobacco.
After I was away from a 2pack a day habit for 6 months to a year, I was able to mow the lawn now with far fewer "catch my breath breaks". Before, I had to stop 5 or 6 times to catch my breath. Now just once does the trick on those mild days and 2-3 on very very hot days. (but anyone would need a breather on those days)

Somethings gotta be said about that!

I guess what I mean, if asked if vaping was a good idea Id say if your already smoker by all means do it, it works!!! You'll feel better for it!
If you're not a smoker and just want to try a "healthier ciggarette" . I'd say, NO it's a very bad idea.
The nicotine is a rough habit to break. No point even starting it.



BTW, I've got a cloned recipe of Deadly Sin thats pretty close. Not quite, but close. So thinking instead of trying to get it perfect I may try and make it something of my own.

Those that have tried it, what do you think would make it better? More Cinna-bunn type flavor etc?

Im thinking maybe a bit more on the tobacco side as one test ... and maybe a bit of Butterscotch for another. Not a lot, just a little.... So many possibilities with this one.
