E-cigs or vaporing...

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by LostinmyMind11 on Sunday, August 4, 2013 and has 10 replies.
So I was inspired by Mr. D (yes Mr.D lol) thread re quitting smoking. I've always wanted to try the ecigs but just never did. So I finally got myself one...I've cut my half a pack, sometimes a pack a day habit down to maybe 2-3 cigs a day...which to me is a big improvement.
These things are amazing...I wish I wouldnt of waited so long to try them. So trying to break into this ecig world is crazy...there are so many options, from juices, to equipment etc...its enough to make your head spin.
Anybody else in this world of vaporing?

No, I'm tempted but I think the chemicals in them can be somewhat as harmful as the carcinogens in tobacco. I like the idea that you can smoke them anywhere though.


From what Ive read about them...seems to be just nicotine and Propylene Glycol(PG) or you can always get 100% vegetable glycerin (VG) or a mix of the two and flavoring. Compared to all the chemicals in reg cigs...I def rather inhale the former lol.

I think its seems far more complicated then it really is.
It sounds like a made up word with all these funny names Cartomizores, Atomizers, tanks, mods. Start interchange those words with other brand names and you could swear they are talking shit about you in another language you can't understand.


Right! lol.
I think I got the basics down...as far as going deeper into it...yeah Ill have to pass (for now lol) I found a decent ecig and an juice that I can "vape" all day...cinnamon roll...its soooo good lol. I think though that I got the wrong nicotine level...I started out lower because I wasnt sure what to get...but Im still craving a reg cig every now and then... and I may need a bigger battery lol.

I wouldn't because it is vapor. Bit I guess you have to decide what you would rather inhale, smoke or heated liquid.

I've been looking at this site www.e-cigarette-forum.com....it seems to have a lot of info too

Oh right ta, I didn't know there were different mixes available, the ones I read up on had a break fluid derivative in them!

Yeah they say the PG is...but I've also read that the part thats in the liquids is a different component to it and that apparently its also found in a lot of things...included inhalers for asthmatic people. PG is thinner and VG is thicker...so it depends on what kind of cartomizer, tank etc youd use it in....the vg can gunk them up etc. Of course this is all based on what I've read..

I've been using nicotine level at 24mg, and it works well for me.
I will tell you that I have heard people talk about cinnamon being more dangerous to inhale. I don't really have much knowledge about it. But I thought I'd pass that information on, so you could research it further if you like. It seems there are different opinions. I think everyone agrees that too much cinnamon dangerous, but I think their disagreements about which type of cinnamon extract and artificial favoring is being used.

There are also plenty of reports that cinnamon, citrus and maybe even menthol flavors react with the plastic tanks, causing them to crack.

Not trying to worry you, just wanna make sure you have the info.

Yeah I think Im gonna have to bump the nicotine level...maybe try 18mg cause Im at 12 right now.
Ohhh thank you for the info on cinnamon...did not know that. I did read about some liquid cracking plastic tanks...Im using a refillable cartomizer for now...so I should be safe on that.

is it cheaper than cigs over time? like once u buy the mechanism? my pisces uncle is schizoid and he doesn't really do anything all day but smoke/ scribbleh/ watch tv. he's been smoking since he was a kid coz the docs recommended he do it. idk weird diagnosis.


I would think so...specially if you fill the stuff your self....the liquids and other things you need ...you can get pretty cheap after the initial ecig mechanism. I spent $ 30 bucks on a carton about every two weeks...so $ 60 bucks a month. I think with this ...maybe $ 20 a month. This of course is just a guestimate...but I think it would be pretty accurate for me.

Although I have noticed people seem to chain smoke them more lol!


I know I do...only for the simple fact that my nicotine level isnt enough...I think if you get the right one for you...you wont need to puff away as often on them.

I suppose $ 20 is fine. it's not that far from actual cigarettes.

Just really depends on if you dive deeper into it all...have a multitude of mechanism and accessories it can get pretty expensive. for me I dont plan on doing this forever...eventually i will get down to 0 nicotine and be done with all of it ...hopefully for good. This just seems like a easier transition ...since it mimics actual smoking
