Since my last cigarette.....

derra

Vaping nearly a year now and have seen loads of those signatures telling you how many smokes you have avoided and the money you have saved.
Been months since i looked at one of them for myself and can't believe it would of been over 10,000 rollies since last June :eek:

Copy and paste one of the BBCode (for forums) after you create the banner...

Ya veteran :pac:
Just hope we have the means available to vape over the coming years and no ban comes into effect.
It's mad, approx. 250,000 smokes/rollies during my smoking years, can't be good for ya :pac:

21,000 in two years crazy numbers when ya think about it.

Can that banner (as opposed to just the link) be posted to facebook? There's a few of my pals could do with that visual incentive!!!

Maybe just save it as a pic and upload it to your page

Anyone who can't see any of the pics/banners in threads.
Go to User CP, edit options then tick the relevant boxes in Thread Display Options.

Ya sure that's right ?:D

Ya must of been eating the fags.

eeloe

Yep, 50-60 a day!

that may explain why i use a bit more e-liquid compared to everyone else!

Currently tipping around 4-5ml a day, the average vaper is 3ml..

I dont know how much money I've saved since giving up 35 years ago when I couldn't run up two flights of stairs without panting for a couple of minutes now I run marathons and no problems at all.More important is I've saved my health

Yep, that's the most important aspect for sure.

Looking at the savings in the banners, it's a big lump sum over X amount of time.
But was listening to someone in work the other day saying she gets 20 smokes cheap for €7.50, was just thinking to myself i could'nt fork that out very day again. In most cases it's probably €9.50 per day and the rest, mad money when ya think about it now!

Stefan_Cork

true,
ridiculous really, your state rips you and your addiction off rather than helping you

Eoin

I wasn't that heavy a smoker, but smoked on a regular enough basis. I'm sure I've saved some money, but I've not kept track on how much I've spent on all the vaping equipment.

I've enough friends & colleagues who travel regularly to get me cheap duty free cigarettes that would probably work out as cheap - so I think it's best to just focus on the health side of things.

grindle

Rolly-smoker, which is why that amount-saved is so low.
It'll be about two years before the cash balances, if it ever does, but at least I can breath again!

Amigaman

just to remind myself :-)

Just posting to have a look at my own signature. I was a rollie smoker myself, 15 to 20 a day for 27 years.

Mike Litoris

Nice!:)



Spent about €600 on vape stuff, mainly trying juices.

tommy2bad

Hard to believe it cost so much, used to not notice the spend when it was a few quid a day.
Mind you I don't notice any extra money in the bank, wonder what I spent it on

Ah grand.
I was off them before without ecigs and lasted a month.
But the OH and my daughter also smoke so it was not an easy decision,
but I have no problems at all so far.
Just one small crave today but it quickly went and have the ecig as well.
Daughter looking for an ecig now and the wife is eying it up!:pac:

Sweet, it should be plain sailing from now on. I had two moments in the first two days I started because I was vaping wrong:P. Other than that there was no effort.

Xantia

Thanks guys!
Its great to know other ppl are out there using the vape as a means to stay off the fags!

Just a few questions which I hope ye dont mind answering if ye have time at some stage.

I got a Lavatube VX and its great because I can keep the vape at a specific voltage which I was not able to do before so you would have strong at the start of a battery and weak vapour at the end so thats ok now.

However just on the 'cartomisers' - I am using a Vivi Nova Tank V2 - I presume that this is OK??
I got 2 spare wick yokes with it - are they atomisers or are they just wicks do ye know?

Do I need an a cartomiser for each type of liquid?

Is there a 'better setup' to use - tbh my fear is that I will run out of juice/battery/atomisers and take a cig again!

Thanks

They are a combined wick and atomiser. I think they normally come in different resistences, i.e. you normally get a low, a medium and a high resistance one. So when you change to another one you may need to tweak the voltage on the lavatube to get the same results.

Xantia

Thanks for the info - only just found that out.
Hopefully they are labelled.

But overall its great - Very few craves if at all so the ecig is a great help for me to give up.

I have to order more juice - dont want to run out.
