Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

Yeah that's ridiculous! He must be very unpopular in public with all those clouds!! Haha

Which leads me onto the problem with sub ohm devices; they produce so much vapour it's almost obnoxious! They make a nice change for home use but I could not use it in public, people would just stare! It's not very discrete IMO, funny as hell though.

I'll stick to my nautilus tank and ijust battery.

I actually do not want big clouds of smoke, rather vape discreetly, in fact if there was no clouds I'd be happier.

Cloud nein?
Sorry, sorry.

olishea · 21 Sept 2015, 14:53

Yeah big clouds are an "at home" setup IMO.

Obnoxious, unnecessary, loud and attention-seeking. Definitely not for public use!

I had to get one to see what the fuss was about. It's definitely not an improvement, it's just different. I'm not a huge fan of lung inhales either. It just makes a nice change when I get used to a certain flavour.

Stick to whatever keeps you off the stinkies Rich. It doesn't matter what you vape as long as it's consistent.

Pete if you want less clouds go for an 80/20 PG/VG or maybe even 90/10.

As an experienced smoker (more than a decade who gave it up finally because of pancreas problem), it is a long while that I have an eye on this topic and as remember we had a private chat few years ago with Gai to start such a topic ( it was before this topic starts).
And also we were thinking about the idea of gathering all the saved somewhere and spend it on sort of charity.
Any suggestion, supporting idea? etc?

Hi Majid,

Congratulations for quitting mate.....I hope the pancreas problem is better as a result.

10 months vaping. couldn't be happier...

Well a bit...

Started off on 18mg. And because I was vaping far more frequently than having a smoke, I was taking too much nic.

So I got me some 12mg, but too weak... so I mix it with the 18 which gives me enuf buzz/baz to not get a headache on the puter. Thought it was my glasses but it was too much nic.

So at last to the point....

What is your nic mg. in your regular vape?
And how many mls? do you get thru a day? (I'm doing about 4/5 mls pd).

Coming up on 3 years without tobacco cigarettes. I am now on 6mg nicotine, but do have some fruity flavors with no nicotine that I mix or vape when around kids.

I vape about 2-3 ml per day, a whole lot less than my first year where I was a walking chimney.

Rich O Brien · 6 Feb 2016, 13:49

Smoke free since July.

Vape 12mg at 9.5w

30ml bottle last 12-14 days. Usually stick to menthol flavours. But have a fruity flavour to change things up a bit.

Thanks guys, good info.

juju · 8 Feb 2016, 06:23

This year it'll be 10 years since I quit for good... whhooooo (cough cough) hoooo!

olishea · 17 Feb 2016, 09:13

Great stuff people! We knew you'd come to the dark side Rich, was only a matter of time. Keep it up pal.

Ive been mixing some great flavours from EXTRADIY Paris, they taste really natural I'd highly recommend. http://www.deevape.fr

Here is my Provari Radius with Subtank Mini. I love Provape stuff!

I tried to go back to "plus ohm" devices but love subohm now, you just need to change the liquid ratios to suit the tank.

Great work Baz keep off the stinkies!

I vape 3mg now. It depends on the device of course. I started on 18mg 3 years ago.

If you are using a subohm setup you need significantly less nicotine because you get loads more vapour. Most people are happy at 3 or 6mg in a subohm tank and 6-12mg for a plus ohm tank (resistance over 1 Ohm). There is no right or wrong answer, just vape whatever prevents you from smoking.

I vape 10ml a day, sometimes more sometimes less.

TPD regulations come into force in the EU this year. This WILL mean:

**-The maximum size of refill containers of nicotine containing liquid is 10ml.

-Maximum size of cartridges or tanks do no exceed 2ml.

-Maximum nicotine strength of e-liquid is 20mg

-Electronic cigarettes must provide a consistent dose of nicotine.

-E-cigs and refill containers must have a mechanism to ensure leak free refilling.**

Vaping is literally going to die in the UK and EU!

Basically we'll only be able to buy cartridges for e liquid as there is no other way to have "leak-free" design. It will probably cost the same as smoking. So cig-a-like vape pens are the only products that will be available. These are the least effective vaping devices.

Tobacco companies have already released their own e-cigs which funnily enough conform to the TPD regulations before they were even announced. You would almost think that the tobacco companies wrote these rules.

My advice to Europeans is to start making your own e liquid....otherwise you'll just be spending a huge amount on cartridges.

Chinese suppliers have already said they're just gonna write "not for use with tobacco products" on the vape tanks to bypass the legislation.

Basically if you don't vape nicotine in it, they can't ban it. They can't ban a tank that says "do not use with nicotine" on the packaging. Whether you put nicotine in your liquid or not is up to you.

Chinese companies are also selling mods as "rechargeable torches". Instead of an atomiser they are just screwing an LED in. When your "torch" arrives in the post you can screw your own tank in.

How they can completely ban small metal tanks entering the EU is beyond me.

Tens of thousands signed petitions but nobody listened. I can't understand how this can be so heavily regulated yet they still sell cigarettes with a 50% death rate.

Watch out USA, you're next.

stefanq · 6 Mar 2016, 12:01

How's everybody doing today?
I'm enjoying my coffee, while I'm reading all this bullshit regarding e-cigs. People are raging all over the internet, but yet, nobody's doing nothing. At least in my country. Groups on Facebook are dividing, "brothers" are arguing about mtl vs. li. Shit has already hit the fan, and I'm barely noticed. Images like this, could be very soon, taboo.
Cheers guys!

I have been listening to the arguments being presented against vaping for a while in Australia, and there are a few things I find particularly disturbing and they are related to the languaging and imagery being used.

Let me explain.

Firstly, I think the word 'eCig' is a bad word....it conjures the image of vaping being just like smoking a cigarette when in fact it needs to be seen as something completely different.

Secondly, I frequently see interviews on TV with people who vape who are inarticulate, heavily tattooed, scruffy and who are not advancing the provaping cause. Make no mistake, I don't care who vapes, but when the anti-vaping establishment are influencing decision makers about the future of vaping, they play the image card very well by narrowly presenting vaping as something done by people who resemble someone who has been dragged out of a drug cave !!

The provaping campaign is generally disorganised and poorly coordinated. Maybe it should get crowd funding to finance a properly constructed campaign.
