I use a 75 watt box(I usually only run between 25-45 depending on the ohm of the coil I have in it) and it's kept me from smoking(I used to smoke about a pack a day). I guess I got into the box mod thing because my introduction to vaping was basically me buying one off a guy at work, so the box mod + tank is how I used to begin with. I never take in in public and blow clouds because that's obviously obnoxious and lovely to do, regardless if the smoke is "healthy" or not. I will say, when I was a smoker I constantly had phlegm sliding around in my lungs and would wake up choking on it. Now my lungs are clear and I don't cough anything up, so while it may not be perfectly healthy it's definitely magnitudes better than cigarettes, imo.

I also feel it's not as addicting as cigarettes in general. Used to, whenever I left the house, even for just an hour, I'd take my cigarettes with me to smoke. Now the only place I take my vape is to work, where I only use it where cigarettes are allowed. I see the whole obnoxious vaper thing online a lot, but I've actually never encountered one in real life trying to blow clouds indoors, but that could just be because I"m in Alabama, which isn't a very "hipster" place. Also the longer I use it, the less "fun" it seems to be, so I'm hoping to eventually just phase it all the way out without going back to smoking. Also, I always tell non-smokers who seem interested to not bother taking it up in the first place, because that's stupid as hell.

i'm in florida and vaper assholes are infrequent but definitely there, especially in and around hookah or kava bars. occasionally you see some little teen poo poo with one at the mall trying to look cool but that's about it.

i mean it's the same with fedora nerds, i don't see them often but when i do see them they're always hilarious and exactly in line with the stereotype.

If you're looking for cheap ejuice I would recommend vapewild.com

Decent juice, great prices (they usually throw in 2-3 10ml samples) and made in the US

I have nothing against Chinese juices, but I have heard they vary a lot quality wise

Fasttech is great for any kind of hardware, just make sure you read the reviews and discussions

Vaporizing is great because nomatter how much bullshit smug people say about it every last drat one of them would happily trade in a smoker for for someone puffing out mist.

There is really no comparing the two rationally and coming to the conclusion Vaporizing is worse, unless of course you've been well paid to do so.

And so now I will disagree :shepface: I haven't seen someone just walk into a restaurant and start smoking since the like, early 90's. Or a movie theater, bakery or bus. Basically any interior that wasn't explicitly marked as smoking-friendly. Meanwhile people who vape are completely loving retarded and I've seen them start producing their lovely vapor in all of these places and then some. "It's just vapor!" Yeah you rear end in a top hat, but it smells like a lollypop has leprosy so stop filling the bus with it.

I get like insta-headaches if I breathe a good amount of it, i have no idea why. i've smoked cigarettes in the past as a nice mellow way to come down off highs in college and they never did that to me but going from fresh air to a full breath of second-hand vapor gives me an instant sharp headache in my forehead every time. i accept that it may be placebo but drat still hurts the same if it is.

I'm not saying you aren't feeling any real effects, but there is something to be said about a placebo effect

When I first started vaping I was doing it discreetly at my desk at work for two weeks and no one in the office knew. After I told them every once and a while someone would be like "oh I can smell your vapor" but I wasn't doing anything different than before

None of them minded and supported it cause I wasn't smoking, but if they had asked me stop I would have and just gone outside

I bought a vape to quit smoking and it worked really well - I feel lots better, and I don't stink anymore. Maybe I'll get some form of super lung cancer down the line from it, but it really is night and day between how I used to feel when I smoked and now.

Usually I just order all my stuff online, but I went into a vape shop the other week and it was full of the most loving awful dweebs talking gobbledegook about their vaping poo poo. :chloe:

I think you may be a tad neurotic about it. Then again, this is probably a lot more fun to obsess over than hand sanitizers.

For what it's worth, I agree they're being assholes as blowing a cloud of anything into anyone's face is rude as hell- but the responsibility for being assholes begins and ends with them. It's not the fault of the technology.

Still better than cigarettes. Or would you actually prefer to be in the same room with someone smoking rather than vaporizing? If so, cigarettes would be better for you I suppose. Worse for your health though.

Besides, worry not! Odds are phobics the world over will ensure vaporizing is illegal everywhere smoking is soon enough thanks to those VAPORIZING CRUSADERS annoying the hell out of people.

You can probably write to the cigarette brand of your choice for a civic action starter kit.

Jokes on you, pal. Smokers have been shrugging off pictures of shoggoth lung and every single form of smoking-related cancer for decades now. Injuries from these are still far less common and seem to more often than not be the result of ill-advised modifcations.

Oh, and one of the reasons I support vaporizing is that if there is one group that hates obnoxious vaporizers, it's non-obnoxious vaporizers.

i'm not saying you can't, i'm just saying that treating it like everyone can just *do* it is unhelpful at best and harmful at worst. note i'm also not saying you shouldn't try, you definitely should do everything you can to quit but also don't consider people unable to quit for whatever reason as being "failures" or "just not trying hard enough" whatever. we really need to reconsider our societal views on addiction before we can get anywhere with it as a mental health concern.

Yes it is.. Quitting smoking is easy. Do you really believe that quitting smoking is a near impossible task, just because the pamphlets that the government forced the cigarette companies to produce say so?

Or because the makers of nicotine patches say it's impossible to quit without help?

People have been smoking and quitting smoking since literally the stone age.

Stop smoking. Dont make excuses. Dont replace it with something else.

Just stop smoking, suck it down and feel miserable for a few days, and then get on with your life.

And quit comparing it to serious addictions with life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. It's not the same thing.

Giving up coffee was harder than giving up cigarettes and I smoked for 20 years.
