Do you vape?

JupiterKid

Well, do any AHers vape?

I'm giving vaping serious consideration as I want to kick the ciggies for good and still get my nicotine fix. Even though liquids and batteries are a bit pricey in the long run you save a lot of money that would go towards cigs.

Do you think that vaping indoors is acceptable? A lot of places seem to allow vaping but then quite a lot don't either. There doesn't seem to be a general policy on this unlike the indoor smoking ban.

m'vaper.

Tigger

Yeah I vape
There's a Vaping forum

KERSPLAT!

Gave up smoking about 6 years ago thankfully but if I did still smoke I'd definitely consider vaping. I know nothing about it but I presume it's better than smoking

Vaping is for quitters.

Ok who here is replacing the v with an r to see what the conversation looks like.

harry Bailey esq

Not for nicotine, no.

o1s1n

Yep, and I ****ing love it.

I started recently and it's amazing how easily I dropped the smokes after a lifelong habit.

I'm not finding it easy to find decent juices though. Haven't found any I'd be happy to hit all day every day.

With the amount of vapour it produces I'd be uncomfortable doing it indoors.

o1s1n

Depends where you are really. I always vape in pubs and haven't been told to stop yet.

The vapour itself doesn't really travel far beyond me at all. Plus it smells like vanilla

bodice ripper

Yes.


Then TPD comes in and we're all back on the smokes.

Well at least your trying

scamalert

vaping over 3yrs now,def x10 times better then smokes or rolling tobacco-3 chemicals instead of 1000 carcinogenic.

you see a lot of people now with devices in their hands on the streets specially Dublin.

think only couple reasons why it hadnt picked up a lot more,first would be many who buy kit-usually start with really crappy 20e ones and the likes to mimic cig look-when many dont have issues dropping around 50e each week,and then seeing device that costs around 100 and thinking waste of money,or that they cant afford it :pac: given that usually battery lasts +6 months to year or two.

Second related thing is many dont like taste-cant really blame them when atm market is flooded with 1000s different flavors,and if someone picks up some sort of mushed up banana cheesecake cornflake biscuit flavor,or tobbacco that is more like cigar juice then its day or two before that bottle goes into bin and person is on the ciggies again.

Also its a bit more hassle with juices since depending on person top ups are quite frequent,you have leaks and ins/outs to before finding good setup with juice one can vape all day.

As for places its a bit trade off vaping is more time consuming where you might want to sit down and enjoy it,not like cigs 3-5 mins and again 30mins later,that said if having good juice theres no need to go outside,no smell on clothes,inside etc.

All that said once you get used to it,theres no urges like with smoking to go out every so often or to have it on you at all times,also many places dont mind it pubs etc if you keep it low on the clouds,and if being decent to others not vaping in buses or crowded places to treat others with respect to avoid irritating someone no one really cares.

No harm to anyone who vapes but you look ridiculous. Like a kid with some novelty toy with fake smoke. Every time I see someone vaping I think they look really foolish.

Just my opinion...Fair play if it keeps you off the smokes.

I was conscious of that at the start but it's a decent trade off for not having yellow teeth and fingers as well as me, my house and my car not stinking of smoke.

I really really loved smoking. I had to give it up though for obvious reasons as I don't want to die of lung cancer and was sick of being short of breath all the time. If I had 'three wishes' though, one of them would be that smoking was harmless. That's how much I enjoyed it.

Now I've found something that I actually enjoy more, has stopped me smoking and I cannot feel any negative effects to do with it. Never out of breath, no smokers cough, no smoking related colds and illnesses, no bad smell...

So no, I won't quit as I enjoy it too much and don't see any reason to

Were I to spontaneously sprout a tiny penis, I would certainly start smoking again. At least.

It's ok, there are so many other things about my appearance that overshadow the vaping it's not even funny.

TPD = tobacco product directive.

Basically vaping is going to become so heavily restricted that the most successful devices will be banned.

As to the original question - yes, I vape.

No, not at all. It is completely unacceptable. I don't give a fuck what shit you want to pump your lungs with. Just keep it away from mine.

I wasn't actually replying to your post it was just something I've done myself. I know all about craving a smoke as I smoked myself for 15 years. I gave them up almost 11 years ago and it was really tough. I used to crave a fag so bad I walked after smokers in the street to inhale their second hand smoke. I kept it up though and eventually it got easier. The only way for me was to go complete cold turkey because I'm the type of person that vaping wouldn't work for. I would have to have the real thing and then I'd be back at square one with my pack of 20.
A couple of people I went to school with have died of cancer and that added to my decision to give up. Its been 11 years now since I've smoked and I'm happy about that but it's still tough in social situations especially if I'm nervous or having a drink. It's good the vaping works for you but I know it wouldn't for me.

congrats on going cold turkey different things work for different people and tbh once somebody is getting off the smokes, happy days over a year since I quit and I couldn't have done it without vaping.

You must get really pissed off walking down a street and all those vehicles going past with their emissions that are a hell of a lot worse for you than someone vaping.

I don't smoke or vape. But I'm getting seriously p1ssed off with all this shyte.

Minimum price of can of beer 2 quid.

Severely restricting a mostly benign, rehabilitative nicotine delivery method.

And I heard that turnip Paschal Donohoe on the wireless this morning defending his proposed new Road Traffic offences, including having any trace of cannabis in your system landing you a 5 grand fine - despite the fact it remains in your system for 30 days and so you could in all likelihood be 100% compos mentis.

That's huge relief. I thought it was a possible side effect.

fleet_admiral

I did but I looked too much of a twat so I went back to my beloved Bensons

somefeen

Nah **** it.
I gave up smoking because it was the dependence I didn't like. Atleast if you run out of fags you can just go to the nearest 24hr petrol station. I dont want to have to carry some mad robots willy around with me everywhere I go.

Diamond Doll

I don't, but I dated a guy who did, and I loooooved smelling all the different flavours!

Paschal Donut-ho was bullied mercilessly at school and is now getting his revenge. He is like the carped avenger... cracking down on fun everywhere he finds it.

The question was if it was acceptable indoors. Don't see too many cars revving up indoors.

I do however see plenty of twats sucking on a piece of plastic, imitating a block of dry ice and thinking they're great for having beaten the smokes :rolleyes:

You sound great craic. I bet you're a hit at parties.


Anyone who used to vape but stopped because they thought they looked like a twat, I pity you. What else do you not do because you're afraid of how people will perceive you?

Whenever I see someone vaping I feel like pointing at them and laughing and telling them they look ridiculous.

Think Alabama in the bathtub laughing at Virgil.

Cee-Jay-Cee

I've nothing to add to the topic as I don't smoke/vape but I seen a young street rat scumbag yesterday, I'd say he was about 14, tracksuit, baseball cap etc walking through a shopping centre vaping...boy did he look like he needed a smack in the face...with a chair.

Next time you see someone vaping you should point at them and laugh.

I hope its me.

Vaping is the golden bullet to fix the problems created with smoking related diseases.

However so much tax revenue is being lost its being made into a scapegoat.

Nice to see the short sightedness of legislators.

Fluffy Cat 88

Yes I do.

I love it.

brummytom

I've tried e-cigs a few times, but the hit off it just isn't the same. I'll stick to the fags.

Calibos

Every single Vaping thread..."Ya look like a right eejit sucking on your vape thingie".

What the ever loving fcuk!!

Are you people fcuking 10 years old or what??

Yes, I was an addicted eejit who ended up smoking nearly 40 a day.
Now I'm a very healthy addicted eejit with €600 a month more in my pocket (€7,000 a Year)
I'm happy that the only downside of the switch was some morons think I look like an eejit sucking on my vape thingie.

I just want to understand why you people think we should care about what you think of how we look while vaping?? Whats the purpose of you people posting in every single vaping thread that you think we look silly?

It's not the same alright but then if you get good kit you adapt to it pretty quickly and the throat hit is also reliant on the nicotine content.

It got me off the smokes easily enough but I found then I was vaping almost all the time, the thing was hardly ever out of my mouth so I just kicked the vaping as well.

I'd still argue that you should give it another go assuming you want to give cigs up and if you do give it a couple of weeks on something decent before you make your mind up about vaping.

Calm down, calm down, smoke a joint or something...you may have €7000 a year extra in your pocket but it's no good to you when your blood pressure is through the roof as your getting so hot and bothered by what you think people think about you!
