ET80 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Figured I'd see if there are any other vapers here. I started in late November - wife bought it for me in the hopes of getting me to quit smoking. Haven't smoked a cigarette since (used to be a pack+ a day guy). There are probably some health trade-offs, but it's nice to not have my clothes reek of cigarette smoke at the very least. I currently have an eLeaf iStick 30w and an Aspire Nautilus tank, but might upgrade in a few months. What kind of setup do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I always think of this meme whenever I think of vaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENINCH Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have ones that are way worse than that I can't post here. Funny stuff. Good that you are able to quick smoking and VAPE instead. Definitely less stinky and healthier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine vapes and we've had this discussion, since it's only been around a couple of years now we don't really know the long term effects.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I smoked for a long time, never really felt too terrible but obviously didn't like the health risks involved. Vaped for 2 years and completely stopped smoking. Lungs hurt more vaping than smoking. Stopped vaping and lungs felt better. Now I'm a true weekend warrior. I won't smoke/vape anything but if I start drinking, yep.... and that only happens on the weekends. I usually just stick to cigs but a pack lasts me like 3 weeks so it's very infrequent that I smoke. I found it odd vaping made me feel worse than cigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With vaping, I have no cough, no annual bronchitis and I'm able to really power through cardio with no issues. The overall end game is to be done with vaping, so it's not a permanent solution - ideally I'd quit by Summer 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 A lot of my friends vape. When I try, I immediately cough uncontrollably. I like the flavor and subtle head high, but I just cough like a fool. Other types of smoke entering my lungs is fine, but there's something about vaping I'm not doing right.

I was definitely the oddity. I will always be thankful for vaping b/c I was 3/4 a pack a day on average before it came around. Now I'm a pack/3 weeks like I said before. If I don't drink, I don't smoke so I consider it a solid victory for someone who smoked for 15 years or so lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have the one on the right. Haven't used it in a while. My juice always expires before I'm even half done with a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my ultimate goal - get off the vape, then maybe have a smoke if I'm having a few drinks. Or even keep the vape around and take it with me if I go have a drink.
