Vaping...

[Stylo]

Dropped the smokes a couple of months ago and bought an E - replacement cold Turkey.

Didn't like it to start with , been 20 years on the real things...getting used to it now.

[kiwi-on-wheels]

Im 17 months cold turkey transferred to a vape, started at 25mg nicotine content, now down to 3mg. Chasing clouds is... Entertaining lol

[BuzzardNZ]

Stopped smoking after 20 or so years on them almost 2 years ago and been vaping ever since.

Been through a number of different E-cigs and finally found one that really works well, the kangertech mini. It doesn't leak ( some brands do ) and is very well made and comes with various spare parts.

I highly recommend this one as you can make your own coils. Not only does this save you heaps on not having to buy pre-made coils, the ones you make actually work better and once you get it down they are easy to do. I paid about $20 for both the cotton and the wire and that lasted me a year.

Finding a good source of e-juice is a must. I've tried heaps of places and found that 'the mushroom cloud' have a really good range at very good prices ( compared to the rest ).

25mg is a pretty high amount, that's more nicotine than you would have got from the smokes! I started out at 18mg and found that too strong. Down to 6mg now on the sub-ohm set-up, but find 12mg is good on a non sub-ohm.

Well done making the switch :clap:

Not really cold turkey is it? the definition of going cold turkey is to withdraw suddenly and completely from an addictive substance or some other form of dependency: “Many people who attempt to quit smoking do so by going cold turkey rather than by gradually cutting down.”

What you and stylo are doing is 'gradually cutting down'.

I had my last cigarette in 2010, stubbed it out half way through and never looked back. Some bars and clubs do not allow vaping because it has a nicotine content and still considered smoking.

"Bro you vape? WHAT FLAYVOH???"

I hope someone gets the reference above.

On that note, seems to be more and more of the older generation cracking into them, originally I only saw hipsters with top knots sucking down on them in every city I went to.
In theory it's a good alternative as it gets rid of the shit and keeps the hands busy, having watched my father struggle to quit for many many years I'd love to see how he goes on one, will get him one I think.

[Dadpole]

I kicked it in last October after 40 years of Nicotine pleasure. I considered the Vape path but didn't want to look a bigger idiot than normal so went for the patches. A better idea I think as that gets me out of the 'Have a puff after a meal' mindset.

After 10 weeks I gave up the Nicotine Band-aid and have stayed on the path of righteousness since.

Well done to you whichever way you do it.

Kangertech are focus on manufacturer electronic cigarette since 2007 , with its headquarters based in Shenzhen, China.

[Swoop]

After spending a while in England last year, there is a huge amount of vaping happening there along with a, sadly, huge quantity of smokers.
Getting dropped back into last century of smoke clouds was an eye opener.

My cousin has smoked a pipe for the last 50yrs, but has taken up vaping and declares it a huge shift for his lifestyle. Good on him.
Oddly NZ seems slow on the uptake here.

[russd7]

interesting thread given that we are just going through the process of importing the vape pens, it is illegal to sell nicotine E-juice in lil ole nz but some do and it appears to be ignored but it is legal to import up to three months worth for personal use which is what we do and just got some sent from the states, ordered on 24/2 and arrived 28/2, pretty good service i would say, the maori party are pushing for vaping to be subsidised, fuck knows why because it is cheap anyway.

for those that don't know, it is not illegal to vape inside but if you are asked to stop then you must do so.

wife believed she would never be able to chuck the fags but started vaping on 1st aug and hasn't touched a cigarette since, not really cold turkey as such but a damned good start

[kiwi-on-wheels]

Not illegal to sell e-juice as an item and add nicotine as a freebie after the fact ;-)

Im on an xcube mod with a eleaf melo 2 tank, being a tradie means I dont get the luxury of diy coils as I cant keep it upright. Been looking at rta's but again, upright aint a thing.

I've found vapo make some good flavours, good pricing too. Shosha is a ripoff, and blatantly sell nicotine juices, hell they even display em!!

[Autech]

I cracked up at the beach this middle aged guy flamed some young surfers for vaping. "Ya look like a bunch of wankers! Whats so cool about steam coming out of your mouth? They answered with.....its 2017, get with the program...........his response.......wankers are wankers.....doesnt mean what year it is

Did they also have top knots?

[neels]

I was wondering about the vaping thing, but reading the above it all sounds far too bloody complicated for my simple brain, so I think I'll just continue with the original plan of giving up the fags and call it done.

[Akzle]

, so I think I'll just continue with the original plan of giving up the fags and call it done.

why ?

One might have........the guy was right though, they did look like wankers......just looks pointless

actually it is, you may legally import for own use but it is illegal to sell it or give it away, states quite clearly on ministry of health website, having said that with law changes coming it appears as long as no one is actively advertising then they seem to be turning a blind eye to the practice.

we have researched this quite extensively to try and find a way round it legally

[Madness]

...just looks pointless

...and GAY!

I can't believe that 17 posts into a thread about vaping that no-one's questioned the sexual orientation of the act. It's queer fuckery, camp level Hi-De-Hi, Anika Moa, HIV-positive, rainbow army fucking G.A.Y.

I hope you all get throat cancer.

Now that you mention it......it is ever so overtly the most fuckin stupid gay thing I have seen.....not sure that i hope they get throat cancer.....maybe a anal abcess or something as a warning?

Last year I was at the Awakino pub with a group of motorcyclists and three of them hauled their vapes out. WTF? I had never seen them before.

These things might have been a help to me once, but I haven't had a smoke since about 1975 so...

If I look like wanker puffing on a Vaper then that's your perception and I have no problem with that. Truth be told the guys, myself included are doing it to wean ourselves off the smokes. My bad for ever starting cigarettes, admitting the obvious.

Since starting the Vape I'm finding myself using it less and less as the days go by and , eventually I'll stop. Fingers crossed. Already feeling better and waiting for the news about the people getting sick or dying from using a Vape ?

You have no vices yourself of course. At least I'm doing something about mine.

You wanker ...

No perception fella.....you DO look like a wanker.......yes your bad..... I kicked the vices, but you looked, and acted, like a wanker still......that still makes you the wanker haha lol

Is a bit like trying to pick up a turd from the clean end...

Or like not minding to get somebody pregnant. ..
As long as it's only a little bit.

Also an ex smoker, thankfully for a decade or two now. I have to admit I laughed out loud when I saw the first electric smoke thingy, they guy using it did look Joanna Lumley sucking on a Biro.

They may not stop the crave though, I know someone who is constantly sucking on the pretend ciggy more than when he actually had the real thing.

[Black Knight]

CHAMPIX guys,dont fuck around.

I second that.
Haven't touch a cigarette in almost three years, and I look super cool not doing it. Just saying [emoji41]

[Autech]

I can't remember what city I was in overseas but it was full of bearded top knot fucks puffing on the things. They all looked proper wankers, but, they'd look wankers even not puffing on them so I don't think the vaping alone makes you look a knob, its more a combination of factors.

Good on the OP for giving it a shot though, when you think of it smoking away in the door way with a fag forcing me to walk through the smoke is much more wanky than puffing on vanilla flavoured vape.

E-cigarette?


Oooohhhh, you mean douche-flute.

You probably need to speak to lazaah on here. He told me he's the only certified organic supplier of whatever the shit is in those things.

Typical head in sand sort of reply of somebody who knows he hasn't got the willpower and strength to give up.

Turn it into a supposedly deliberate decision. ..
Smoking is an addiction...
You dont chose to smoke, you are addicted.
And it takes strength of character to admit that..
Even more strength to kick it...

Fire away....

Ditch the smokes then use money saved to buy a motorcycle. You might even get to know the secret KB wave.

The processing plant is in the Netherlands. The same company also produces brilliant coffee.

It's exceedingly unlikely that any of the tobacco, or the coffee, is actually grown in the Netherlands.

[Akzle]

The processing plant is in the Netherlands. The same company also produces brilliant coffee. It's seriously unlikely either the tobacco or the coffee was grown in the Netherlands.

I have been there, certainly didn't see any.

it's been conglomerated under imperial tobacco now i believe, but is still processed in neeeederdoichland, afaik, except the yank market, who are homosexuals.
had never actually bothered to look into where it was farmed, just trusted whitey.
that'll lern me.

he wont be supplying the nicotine legally but the rest you can buy anywhere, but like i said, people are supplying it and at the moment the authorities are turning a blind eye, probably until the appropriate legislation is put in place.

the law is quite specific
