Vaping

[Boydy]

In a follow from these few posts the other day in a thread about alcohol, I thought I'd start a thread on vaping.

Speaking of things that are bad for you, I bought an ecig recently as although I don't smoke that much these days (except when drinking), I thought it'd be best to try and stop completely.

Got an eliquid with far too much nicotine in it at first. Then I got a different one with less in it but it seemed to give me the shits. Fuck's sake.

What did you get? I couldn't get used to them until I got onto a decent tank that didn't leak but it's a great job now. If the liquid isn't agreeing with you then try 100% VG, I found that much more agreeable (or try 100% PG if it doesn't, everyone is different). I'm down to a 0mg nicotine now, though I still smoke like a train if I do go out as I feel like a dick whipping the robot cock out in the smoking area.

Robot cock.

I got an Innokin T18. I read a load of reviews and they were supposed to be a decent starter kit. I think I read something about it not being able to handle 100% VG as it'd fuck the coil though. I've ordered some new ones including one which is 80% VG so maybe they'll be better.

Robbed that one from a David O'Doherty show a few weeks ago.

Those T18's are gone very popular. I was very close to getting one myself only for the VG thing, but they're nice and discreet compared to the Nautilus that I do have. I drive so much and in the car is my one real crutch when it comes to smoking, so it's great for that. Only for it I'd be on 30 a day going up and down the country.

So my new eliquids arrived and they're pretty good and seem to not give me the shits like the previous ones did. Although I think it was maybe just the really high nicotine one that did that.

I've tried a coconut one over the last few days which was pretty nice and switched onto strawberry milk today which is lovely.

I've also got apple to try which I bought thinking it might be a bit like the apple shisha they always give you in shisha places. And a 'cloud no. 5' from www.onepoundeliquid.com (they're all from there) which is a high VG one designed to give loads of vapour. It's supposed to have vanilla, cherry and pistachio flavours in it.

Anyone else tried the ecigs?

[Giggles]

Obviously from above, I have.
Nautilus on an iStick 40W and using 100% VG 0mg. Absolute Godsend for driving.

No vaping on planes: fair or unfair?

[Boydy]

Fair. I'd be happy enough to keep it the same as smoking everywhere.

[Giggles]

Fair. I'm happy for vaping to only be allowed in the same places smoking is, which is the way it is here.
I don't use mine in public except for in the van anyway.

I have that istick. It's all starting to play up now and is saying no atomiser all the god dam time.

Actually that has just jogged my memory, it's a 30W iStick I have. I went through two of those bloody 40W's and they both always gave that fault you mentioned.

You don't even smoke.

[Giggles]

You don't even smoke.

Me? As soon as the first drop of alcohol hits my tongue I smoke like Dot Cotton.

[Boydy]

I ordered some new coils online and they're too short for my ecig even though they're meant to be for it. It'll just end up flooding as the top of the coil doesn't meet the top of lid of the clearomizer to stop the eliquid getting down inside it.

Fuck's sake. I'd been waiting ages for them too because of Amazon's shitty delivery that seems to punish non-Prime customers. Not dispatching stuff till three days after I order it? Fuck off.

[Giggles]

Nowhere local doing them? Or even a local online store. I get all of mine delivered next day from a place in north county Dublin.

That's why I don't buy anything from Amazon anymore. Fuck those cunts, there is no way I am paying for Prime just to get regular service.

There's a shop in town but I dunno if they have them. They also seemed a rip off when I went in to buy eliquid before.

[Giggles]

I bought a Cubis at the weekend as my Nautilus Mini smashed in a fall. It's absolutely shite.

[Baz]

Vaping as bad as smoking, for the heart

What do you lot think of this?

I think it's still massively cheaper.

[Giggles]

Bought some form of Nautilus to replace that Cubis. Top filling is so much handier.

@Yevrah, you're paying too much for vape juice.

This place is good. They stopped delivering to NI though because of Brexit.

[niko_cee]

Should probably post it in the office if you want him to see it.

Yevs at the wheel.

[Spikey M]

Is vaping still a thing? Seem to see less of it these days. Or maybe I just notice less because people have stopped using those obnoxious ones that create tonnes of "smoke".

[Giggles]

Yeah you definitely don’t see as many subohmers these days, not sure if that’s because of all the legislation changes or what. I still like to puff on mine if I’m driving or having a beer, way cheaper than smoking.

[Boydy]

WFH has been terrible for the amount I vape. I need to start locking it away in a cupboard and only puffing on it when I'm taking a break.

Youve not seen many people doing anything though. We’ve been in Locky D.

Yeah, I know. It's just cause I'm lazy and can't be arsed to order a shipment from Zeus who I used before all of this pandemic business kicked off. Buy in bulk from them and you get the price well down and it's the best juice.

Yep, it's lethal. I'm doing a 3MG bottle a day.

After about fifteen years of smoking a few cigarettes a week with a beer or whatever (but never thinking of it outside of that), I appear to now have a nicotine addiction thanks to these fucking elf bars after buying one on a night out about six months ago.

[Baz]

Mug.

[Ben]

In the age of having to endure paper straws to reduce single-use plastic, how are these disposable vape pens fucking allowed?

[Spikey M]

I can't wait for the inevitable news that vapes are somehow worse for you than cigarettes to come out.

[-james-]

They are a proper scourge. I think we'll see them start getting banned next year.

[Don]

Proper fucking rotten shit these, I wasn't avert to a good ciggie on the sesh/post-jizz and can forgive them as they're cool af but these fuckers and everyone doing them indoors and in enclosed spaces like trains are disgraceful.

[-james-]

I can't wait for the inevitable news that vapes are somehow worse for you than cigarettes to come out.

Maybe I'm on the copium but I can't see it, we'd know by now. I suppose the question of whether 50 puffs of a cigarette is worse than 1000 puffs of a vape is still open.

[Waffdon]

I reckon they’re worse. There’s not a chance something that tastes like whatever fruity flavour you want it to be that costs £2 will be remotely good for you.

[Giggles]

I can't wait for the inevitable news that vapes are somehow worse for you than cigarettes to come out.

There's a strong cohort of melts that love saying it already because they really want it to be worse. But it isn't. And even if it was, it's way cheaper.

[Waffdon]

I was more on about them Elf Bar things. I’d imagine the less kiddy looking vapes that Doctors recommend over cigarettes are a lot more healthy lol

[Dark Soldier]

I'm still huffing the cigs down me each day.

Fuck vapes.

[Waffdon]

Same. Though I’m down to 10 a day at most (full packet if out drinking though) and will stop when I have reason to.

[Giggles]

I'm buying fags for Christmas. And a fucker of a cigar for the 25th evening.

[niko_cee]

I don't know if this is the case in places where actual laws exist, but I was amazed to find out quite recently that there isn't really an age limit on a lot of vaping products in Guernsey, with the consequent result that 10 and 11 year olds are on them.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur...rnsey-61630791

I still can't really tell if they are age restricted or not.

[phonics]

Vape people love to talk about their vape. It's craft beer nerd shit for virgins.
