Confession's of a Closet Vaper

[wa3zrm]

Make no mistake about it... if it was not for snus, I'd still be smoking. Recently however, I had the opportunity to try an e-cigarette as a prop for a master of ceremonies gig that I did. I did some research and purchased one that did not have nicotine, was cinnamon (fireball) flavored with a 100% vegetable glycerin base and produced tons of vapor. The experience was remarkable! It was like smoking an atomic fireball jawbreaker.

The experience was so pleasant, shortly thereafter, I purchased several other non-nicotine flavors. Butter rum, cotton candy, peaches and cream... They were all fantastic. Then, like a fool, I purchased some nicotine flavored (16 Mg) eJuice. GAGGGGGG! Man, was that ever a mistake. Doing the e-cig's without nic is like eating sweets. When nic is added, it changes the flavor and makes the vapor harsh.

I'm still using the e-cig's w/o nic and enjoying the numerous flavors available; however, I still use snus for my nic fix. IMO, I can't see how e-cig's alone can get people off the cigarette habit. Before I discovered snus, I tried EVERYTHING out there to kick the habit... gum, patches... none of it worked. Only snus was able to turn the trick. Has anyone else had a similar experience and are you using e-cig's for the flavor and snus for the nic?

I tried the electronic cigarettes, and they do work. But, the snuff and snus is more satisfying to me. I only tried a couple of flavors, though (menthol and regular); so I never tried any of the "unconventional" flavors.

Somewhat related: there are some access points (co-ops) that offer cannabis liquid for your e-cigarette. I can also say those work!

Found a couple of recipes:

http://forum.grasscity.com/harvestin...recipe-me.html (with Propylene Glycol)

http://boards.cannabis.com/concentra...on-method.html (with Vegetable Glycerin, also edible as a tincture)

------------------------

Don't mind me... Carry on!

Is like to try them ecigs only if the juice deal has nic. I associate inhaling with nicotine and if theres no nic it would irritate me lol.

It took a combination of ecigs (with nic), nasal snuff, and snus to get me down to just smoking cigarettes when I drink coffee. Lately (very lately, like just within the last week) I've given up the tobacco cigs entirely, but we'll see how long that lasts.

When you get an urge for a smoke, just pop a stark portion... that should quash the urge.

Been using Ecigs for almost 4 years now they work great ! got me off a 20+ year smoking addiction , but now I have so many more ways to get my nic I use snuff , Snus , and in the last year took up the great art of pipe smoking , but pipes aren't inhaled so really should be called pipe puffing lol smoking to me means inhaling but hey as long as I'm not inhaling nasty cig smoke and enjoying myself thats all that matters

I grabbed a few nic free e juices and a cheapie 510 cig last week...I am glad I didn't invest a lot of money into my setup because this morning when I woke, my teeth were sensitive feeling. I am not sure if it was from the weekend vaping session of sweet juices or just from the constant warm steam hitting my teeth..regardless of the cause, I don't plan on vaping quite as frequently.
