From what I've seen I believe NY is the highest in the country and WA is right behind along with CA.
My old brand (american spirits) averages around $18.50 a pack in NYC at the moment. I was paying around $8.50 a pack when I quit. I'd have to burn a f-ton of juice and buy a lot of useless shit to match those cost.

Back when I was on the Stinkies over two years ago I was rolling my own but when I bought a pack it was Pall Mall Red's, they were around $6 a pack. I noticed the price while in Safeway a few month's ago going for something like $12. I'm sure American Spirit is at least $3-$4 more here.

Government is addicted to Sin Tax's and will continue to hike them up so they can Tax the Poor even more.

yep and lobbyists are busy working to exclude cigars (real cigars) from the Deeming regs....

per the deeming regs genuine cuban cigars cannot be imported since we had a trade embargo with Cuba in place for the deeming date.

In all honesty, it sounds like a PG allergy. I mix for a guy who can't go over 10% PG in a juice as it causes a kind of anaphylactic reaction within his throat and mouth and he puffs up like a toad, blisters, the whole nine yards. He actually has to take daily medication to tolerate the PG in foods and beverages. Almost all juice flavorings are PG based, so when you pair that with the PG content in the base, it could mess you up if you're sensitive.
Could be. But the part about him getting a tight chest is a symptom of high VG in many posts I’ve read and the same is true for me. Also wondering if vaping a lot of citrusy juice might not be an issue (flavorings as some suggest). The only way for him to find out is to try different flavors and PG/VG ratios. Never heard of anyone having an allergy to NETs so that was a good suggestion by firebird.

Well here it's about $60/carton for cigarettes, so my suggestion is either attempt DIY juice or go buy a carton. That's it. That's your choice.
Now, go away.

Why you gotta be an asshole telling me go away when this is my thread? I made this post to explain my situation and see if anyone had any suggestions or experienced the same thing before I made that choice to go back to smoking the bare minimum of cigs so I could take a break and see if my situation changes in a week or so if anything your the one that should go away once your done since your posting on my thread. I'm not trying to start anything I'm just saying how I see it
 
Bruhhh. You joined a vaping forum to tell everyone that you don't have the money or interest to make a successful transition from smoking to vaping. At one point you stated you were going to give your lungs a break and stop vaping while you continue to smoke cigarettes. Also, you're failing to mention the amount of money you will spend on cigarettes to continue smoking daily as opposed to vaping. Yet you wonder why some are giving you a hard time? Come on man lol

Your not reading all the posts I'm making later on I said it's a mix of not having the Money and the effort part is I also don't want to keep feeling the dissatisfied lungs feeling also I will spend 20-25$ every two weeks if I went back to cigarettes because I roll my own and your also not reading I've been vaping for 8 months and over this period I've begun to smoke less and less cigarettes and in the last 3 weeks I've smoked no cigarettes most days and on the days I do it's 2-3 at most and those days don't happen often so I'm not making a successful transition from smoking to vaping in your eyes? Well I'd like to see what you consider successful going from smoking to vaping overnight? No disrespect to you by what I'm sayin I'm just trying to say my side and let you see my "unsuccessful transition" to vaping when it's going pretty good I've just begun to hit some bumps in the road the past week and they kinda couldn't have come at a worse time for me.

On a positive note I have to say today is going pretty well I've been puffing all day haven't had that feeling yet and even when it was about that time when it would tend to happen but I went outside for a bit after it got dark and fired my mod 20-30 times in like a 20-30 minute period and when I went back inside and started puffing on it a bit later it still didn't occur and still hasn't 4-5 hours later so maybe I've discovered a breakthrough for myself and that's to go outside and vape a bit when it gets dark and starts to get cold so even tho I say I'm not going to keep trying sometimes most of the time I will cause I don't want to waste my 200 some mls of juice and 8 unused coils

Another thing I just thought of that I felt I should mention since I've had a few people come on here replying to me in which they're only reading my original post, the most recent ones me and other people wrote and they have not read the ones in between that may answer something they're bringing up.
So its about why I like vaping more than smoking even though I've been having problems recently but want to continue vaping but need to take it with a grain of salt is that since I've started vaping I've liked not having to deal with cigarette ashes, my fingers aren't stained brownish orange, my fingers don't smell like nicotine/tar or smoke, my teeth are whiter than they were before when I was smoking, and I'm not restricted to constantly puffing on something until I burn it down to the filter or until I put it out, I can take a puff whenever I feel like it and put it down whether I take one or multiple. So with this being put out there I hope you can realize before trying to chew my ass, (whoever you may be that tries) I wasn't saying I support smoking by making this thread I was just trying to see if I was The only one that this has happened to and could still happen to me again in the future. I was also trying to give some insight on why I was on the fence and which way i was probly going to go which I think I'm still going to try vaping all day tommorow since today worked out good

Here's the issue as I see it. The number of active members on these boards is quite small, maybe a thousand, if that. My impression of most of the active members is they have all put a fair amount of time, effort and money into vaping. Vaping has a steep and long learning curve. It takes dedication, desire and persistence to learn about mods, atomizers, wires, batteries, cotton, as well as all the components that go into making juice. The members here help anyone who asks for help. The amount of knowledge and experience here is vast and it's shared freely and willingly and usually with good manners.

However, when people come on here and display a lack of the required qualities that most here possess, the members will only try so much to help. If the person is rude, stubborn, insulting or thick as a brick then eventually some members will let that person know about it. Most members will just ignore the person, but some won't, just like in everyday life.

Your original post did not start off on the right foot. I'm not saying you had anything but the best of intentions, but you are responsible for how you express yourself. As was pointed out to you above, you might want to think about how you approached this forum. Take a break from here and vaping, then come back in a while, phrase your thoughts carefully and you'll get as much help as people here can give.

Finally, I'm speaking for myself here, but when I see people in my life say they want to vape and then put little effort into it, then I don't want to hear their bullshit. I've been at this full bore for 13 months and I'm totally self-sufficient. I had not one person in my life to turn to, so I came here. I've learned so much here, but it's fucking work that doesn't stop. The amount of time, money and effort has been huge, but it's worth it to me. For many people, they don't want to make the commitment. That's fine, it's their choice but the folks here don't perform magic, they advise and teach. If the student doesn't want to do the work, that's their fucking problem. When people post here, usually in a complaining and bitchy manner, and then display the lack of the qualities needed to succeed at vaping, it annoys the hell out of me. . I suspect many here feel the same.

Ive been vaping the past 8 months but even with this much time im still not that experienced hence the name amateur vaper but Up until a little over a month I was buying my liquids at the store down the street from my house at 10ml for 5$ but once I bought a smok kit at that time I seen how much cheaper it is buying online and so I started doing that and it can be challenging at times for me and probly other people since theres so many different flavors to choose from with varying prices and so many different sites to buy from and at the store your limited to one brand with around 10-15 flavors 0-24mh pml.

And yea your right I could have been more clear from the start with what I meant by effort which what I meant was im not enjoying what happens whenever it does and I don't have the money as of right now to look around buy and try new liquids so I have to work with what I've got and that's very limited when I only have 4 or 5 different flavors one being the one that seemed to start this whole issue for me which I likely won't be using again but some people said I should try the baked good flavors or sweet ones so right now that's what I have in my tank I'm pretty it's Chris fu vanilla

I wasn't able to post this last night but yesterday was another good day for me didn't experience that feeling at all so hopefully it's subsiding but I won't know for like another 5 days so things seem to be going in a good direction for me

Another thing I've noticed is my nasal passage at night becomes severely inflamed I read blowing vapor out your nose wether on purpose or accidentally cause you don't realize it which is me can do this maybe the same is happening in my lungs from the nicotine level or acidity which I think would be the most logical conclusion for me since only my airways are giving me a problem and swelling but not my face or body so it's likely not an allergic reaction I forgot to mention the inflammation gets so bad that I get nose bleeds
saline nasal spray from rite aid or kroger pharmacy helps with this. I try to never blow vapor out my nose but I still have to use some saline a few times a day at least to keep my nose from drying out. In my case the nose bleeds can be really bad if I don't keep it moisturized due to my deviated septum caused by bad habits/addictions when I was younger.

Suggestion. If you can't vape and you don't want to smoke have you thought about using cig a likes such as NJOY or BLU?

As for the rest......in case you didn't know it IS indeed "No Nut November" ! So remember to keep your hands off your nuts! ;)
I think I'm done with masturbation...
...medicating twice a day, it hasn't been easy.
...but I'm gonna stick to it.

I'm pretty sure e-cigs are the same thing as vaping like as far as what's in cartridges go and they're pretty expensive I'd go through a cartridge a day maybe more cause that's where I started out almost 9 months ago then I got one of those crappy pen/marker vapes that have the glass tanks that usually display the ML levels on the side and have 2 wicks coming out of the mouthpiece and into the tank and used that for a few months but got tired of that thing fast cause it was easy to get the "drowning effect" when you inhaled through it and it was always a pain in the ass trying to avoid getting liquid into the airflow tube when filling it. Then I got a vaporin maverick kit which had a variance of 7-35w depending on the charge but the coil it came with only allowed 7w-15w im pretty sure so it didn't really put out a cloud but it was a step up from the pen and then I got my current mod a little over a month ago the smok qbox which maxes out at 50 watts but even when I have it set 35-40 which is usually where I have it at I can get a pretty good cloud it's kind of surprising how strong it is for such a low setting and such a small mod even with the tank attached its overall height is 3.5-4 inches the tank I have is a smok tfv8 baby beast.

Well then, it sounds like you have your mind made up to start smoking again.
Best wishes to you.
Let us know what hospital to send those Get Well cards to.
Since we're coming up on the holiday season you can always check and see if the Sharper Image makes oxygen tank covers to match designer shoes and suits.
That way when you have to go for your Social Security Disability hearing you'll look good providing you haven't died of lung cancer first.

With all the devices and choices we have these days it is hard to fathom how someone can't find a suitable vape. Wish I could offer a suggestion of something for you but nothing appears to fit what you are looking for.

your obviously another person that hasnt read all my posts throughout this thread its not even like you read the first one i wrote today which you had to scroll by to post your original reply but earlier i was saying yesterday and the day before i was puffing my vape all day and had no problems so things seem to be going in a good direction but instead of reading that you have to go and get all snobby about me considering a few days ago maybe smoking again for only a week or so to get a short break from vaping which you read my thread starter but you
DIDNT even read all of it since your talking like you think i was considering going back to smoking long term. and so far today has been a good day too no bad effects from vaping just throwing that in there now but still got 7 or so hours until i go to sleep and i cant see the future but from its been i dont think the feeling is gonna make an appearance

It's not that I want to smoke cigarettes idk if you read the part where I said I like vaping but the past 3 days what's been happening I can't deal with and cigarettes never did that so it's just what I have to do idk why it started this late in my time vaping but it did you think I want the 50$ worth of coils and liquids I have to go to waste plus the 60$ vapes I have to be useless? Like I said I need a break I'll try again in the future most likely

Obviously you don't really want to quit smoking, or you wouldn't be so quick to find an excuse to go back to it. I've had more troubles with vaping than you can shake a stick at, but I was determined to MAKE it work, so I'm now over 3 yrs smoke-free. When you really want to become a non-smoker, you'll find or make a way to do it.

My personal opinion is that you're trying to inhale far too much vapor, probably high-VG, which is not the way to quit smoking for most -- most of us want something that's more similar to smoking, when we first start -- tight draw, not so much vapor, not so much of that damned VG -- which clogs up the lungs of a lot of us; I've had to stick with 85% or more PG since I started.

Holy shit there really is a site named that!
I didn't think "No nut November" was real either until a coworker told a bunch of us about it and showed us some stuff on Twitter he had gotten. :teehee:
There's some scary, scary messed up shit in this world! :crazy:
And we wonder how we wind up with so many psychos running around loose on the planet.

As for this thread, look A.V. , if you feel I was disrespectful then that is regrettable. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly. I am, however, in agreement with Andria. It seems to me you really don't want to quit smoking at all and that is why I reacted the way I did. That being the case I'm going to hop off this thread as I can't contribute anything productive to it or offer up solutions to you. Best of luck to you in your endeavors. I hope you find a solution that works and help from those that can provide it. :wave:

i hadnt smoked in like 2 weeks before yesterday and its cause i felt satisfied just puffing off the vape and didnt feel like i needed to smoke so i dont think it was withdrawal.


There are toxins in cigarettes that cause the body to produce anti-toxins, once those toxins stop coming in (when you stop smoking) the body takes a while to stop making the anti-toxins, and a buildup of those anti-toxins can cause withdrawal like agitations. It's called the "last hook" of cigarettes, hook as in barbed hook you catch and hold on to fish with

Well, I'll make one more effort, though with your smart-ass attitude, I don't expect it will bear any fruit. You're right, I didn't read the whole thread, because there's only so much excuse-making I can tolerate, so please excuse me for wishing to skip a lot of that dreck. My tolerance of "yeah but" is pretty much nil.

I have now read the entire thread, and I agree with bobnat: you started right off, maybe with your very first post, telling all of us ex-smoking vapers why vaping won't work for you so you're giving it up and going back to smoking. If you were to combine all the suffering and effort that all of us together have suffered to MAKE vaping work for us to keep us smoke-free, you probably don't have a container big enough to hold it all -- yet most of us have found a way to make it work, even in some rather odd and unusual ways -- such as my continued need for extremely high PG, more than 3 yrs down the road -- most folks are able to move on to higher VG after their lungs heal a bit, but some of us really can't... but that's ok, vaping with high-PG is still smoke-free, and still works to keep me that way, and probably a lot of others too. And I still need a very tight draw, another thing that most vapers abandon fairly soon after starting -- but that's what it takes for me to be satisfied, so I stick with it, despite how difficult it's become to find hardware that caters to that. Because I am determined to be an EX-smoker, not just give up at the first hint of difficulty.

I know as well as anyone how hard it is to quit smoking; until vaping, I really thought I'd have to smoke till it killed me, because I simply couldn't find any way of quitting that didn't make me suffer the agonies of the damned in hell. My point being, if you want the "easier softer way" (as we say in AA) to quit smoking... then vaping is IT. It's definitely not one-size-fits-all, not by a very long shot; you might have to go thru a lot of BS and money-spending to find the way to vape that suits YOU, substitutes well for cigarettes, and doesn't cause a lot of physical problems... but if you throw the baby out with the bathwater -- that is, abandon vaping and go back to smoking -- you will never find that right way. People who only make a token effort to do something tend to display that sort of behavior -- so they can say, "well, I tried, but it didn't work for me." Which might make you feel better, but it certainly won't lead to your becoming an ex-smoker.

Until you are totally free of cigarettes, you will not know if vaping works for you or not. Every time you light a cigarette, you are resetting your brain to want, demand, and expect cigarettes. I have quit twice using vaping; the first time was so easy I couldn't believe it; I think that was the novelty factor, because the 2nd time, after a short (1 month) relapse to dual-use, I found it much harder -- I kept vaping and vaping, expecting cigarettes to just "fall away" as they seemed to do the first time... but that wasn't happening. I realized that I had actually made more effort, the first time, than I had realized at the time, but that effort was definitely required -- I had to finally say, "Ok, enough! No more smoking, period!" and really mean it, really stick to it, to make it work. So I did that, and very happily found myself once again an ex-smoker -- and 10 days later, the hard physical cravings came back. I didn't want to relapse again to smoking, so I got some WTA, and after I vaped that for a full day... I realized that the cravings were GONE, completely disappeared.

But, I absolutely don't recommend WTA to anyone who has not yet fully quit smoking, because as long as you're smoking, you're still getting the full "alkaloid cocktail," so the inclusion of WTA will mean NOTHING -- you won't know if you really NEED that full alkaloid cocktail until you are totally free of smoking, for at least a week. If you really want to be a non-smoker, you have to stop lighting cigarettes, PERIOD -- even the occasional one will reset your brain to expect and demand all those alkaloids -- and the brain is a real bitch of a taskmaster, and will cause every symptom it can think of, to try and get what it wants -- cigarettes. The only way to make it stop demanding is to stop giving it what it demands that it needs, OR, to give it those alkaloids in a form that is NOT cigarettes, and then gradually wean off them -- a great deal easier with a liquid you can gradually use less of, than with cigarettes.

So, if you really want to be a non-smoker... stop lighting cigarettes, and just vape. That's the easier softer way.

I'm sorry to hear you are giving up on vaping man. If you are indeed giving up, I'm sure many of us will still be here enjoying our vape if you decide to give it another shot. Though if money is a big obstacle, you can DIY your own juice and make your own coils, I currently only make my own juice but I have saved a good bit over commercial, course i still like the occasional store juice, mainly from like V3 and the such. Not sure how much I'd save on coils, but I'd imagine it would be a night and day comparison. Take care of yourself dude, as much as you can anyway.

I'm not giving up I was considering going back to smoking the bare minimum of cigarettes for a bit like a week and seeing how trying vaping went after a short break but IT IS DAY 4 since I made this thread I'm STILL vaping and it's been going good NO NEGATIVE effects so it seems to be going in the RIGHT direction maybe my lungs just needed to adjust to vaping when it was start to get cold cause it's been about a little over a week since the near freezing temperatures have come and I'm doing alright

I believe I already posted this, but in case you missed it: hit the pharmacy and grab a big bottle of saline spray and use it a few times a day.

DIDNT even read all of it since your talking like you think i was considering going back to smoking long term. and so far today has been a good day too no bad effects from vaping just throwing that in there now but still got 7 or so hours until i go to sleep and i cant see the future but from its been i dont think the feeling is gonna make an appearance

I totally agree with you. Your post about things going well with vaping was clearly overlooked by many, including me until you made this comment. Kudos to you and I hope it Was just that one flavor that was causing the issues, good luck to you man.

Don't mind the pissy people, as you said they're operating under a lack of understanding of the current facts.

I'm not giving up I was considering going back to smoking the bare minimum of cigarettes for a bit like a week and seeing how trying vaping went after a short break but IT IS DAY 4 since I made this thread I'm STILL vaping and it's been going good NO NEGATIVE effects so it seems to be going in the RIGHT direction maybe my lungs just needed to adjust to vaping when it was start to get cold cause it's been about a little over a week since the near freezing temperatures have come and I'm doing alright

The cold dry air definitely has an effect on me, dry lips and all that, exacerbated by thick clouds of vapor I'm sure

I believe I already posted this, but in case you missed it: hit the pharmacy and grab a big bottle of saline spray and use it a few times a day.

yeah i read it and when my nose starting getting irritated last night i was thinking about it im pretty sure its nasonex and i think my mom has some so gonna go look i would exhale out my nose still unintentionally when it was warm out but i think now nicotine being an irritant and the fact that the air is turning dry and cold its causing problems for my nose cus its a sensitive area especially when it drys out also recently whens its happened to me i thought maybe blowing some vapor through my nose will help reduce the inflammation little did i know i was only making it worse lol

I think nasonex is designed for allergies. Ocean, or a generic version, is just salt water for moisturizing your nasal membranes.

ill have to look into it maybe epsom salt mixed with warm water in a syringe would work then if what your talking about is just salt water but nasonex is used for inflammation caused by allergies so i think even tho its meant for that type of inflammation i think it would also work for inflammation in general ill have to try it next time it happens and report back with how nasonex works but it didnt happen to me last night

also going on day 5 of vaping since my last incident with the unsatisfied lung feeling even when a deep breath feeling nothing negative happened last night so i definitely think im heading in the right direction and it was just that respiratory system needed to adjust to vaping in cold/dry temperatures im still going to try and use up all the pink punch lemonade liquid i had which i didnt have a problem with before after i use up all the vanilla juice i have and change my coil cus it would be pretty nasty to continue using the same coil saturated with vanilla with lemon lol

Those two flavors can actually be pretty tasty together, I'm thinking like a lemon cake with vanilla pudding (I might have to look into that later) glad everything seems to be going more smoothly.

just something random i noticed is if your vaping with a dark colored liquid like i currently am and your going to be around other people like a girl or guy you like for example put the mouth peice past your teeth if you have no other clear liquids otherwise you risk looking like a fool if they notice the liquid building up on your teeth cus you'll have black/brown spots on your front teeth lol

If you are getting liquid build up on your teeth then I would think your atomizer is spitting and you need to adjust your device.

from what i can tell i dont think its spitting i think its just from the vapor hitting and passing over my teeth cause i notice liquid slowly collecting in the drip tip/mouth peice a while after i clean it out from all the vapor passing through so i think this is the same thing only with my teeth cause i dont feel any vapor hitting my tongue when i have experienced it spewing in the past

I think nasonex is designed for allergies. Ocean, or a generic version, is just salt water for moisturizing your nasal membranes.

also fozzy nasonex seems to work pretty well for inflamed nostrils even from vaping thought its meant for allergies but it happened to me tonight i put a spray in each nostril about 5 minutes ago and my nose wentn from pretty damn swollen to not bad in a matter of 3 minutes.

Any1 have any suggestions for tanks that the glass tube isn't even with the ends that screw into each other on each ends of the tube? I have the tfv8 baby beast and I'm on my 2nd glass tube because the design is flawed in my opinion they make the glass so thin probly on purpose, the glass tube is pretty much flush with the ends that screw on also flush with the ends of most mods so if you drop the mod by accident and it lands on the wider side there's a chance the glass will crack cause it's even with the sides and I just would rather buy a new tank then have to buy glass tubes which cost only 4-5$ on top of the shipping unless to you buy multiple sets of glass tubes and it just is kinda illogical to buy 6 or 8 tubes for 20 or so dollars when I could get a different tank if any1 has any suggestions for tanks that are I'd prefer glass because you can see how much liquid you have and if you need a refill have non-RTA replacement coils that max out around 150w and are also .3 ohms or less that look like the tank in the picture I attached where the glass isn't flush with the ends of the tank which I would use cause it's fallen from 4-5 feet a few times and never cracked but the replacement coils max out at like 50w and the mod is going to be using is 165w it would be greatly appreciated if someone knows of any so i can check them out during the Black Friday sale that most sites are having right now save myself a decent bit of money

Don't know if it's what you're looking for, but the freemax fireluke is pretty good, assuming ya ain't put off by the "fish bowl"

Nah that's the exact opposite of what I'm looking from I'm looking for something that is on the inside of each end that screws on so that the glass has kind of a barrier between it and what the whole tank is laying on like in the picture

Your a bit late on saying that but whatever I got bigger shit than arguing with you on my mind this isn't really related to the topic but some bullshit with the FDA an regulating vaping heavily is supposedly about to take place 8/8/2018 idk if it's true but the article seems to be I'm attaching a link if you seem to find it believable then pass on what those nazis are now trying to do after years of keeping their nose up tobacco companies ass's and out of the vape community

You aren't the only one currently getting mocked by people on this site because vaping isn't working out for them. Some poor guy with a plethora of mood disorders on disability is getting mocked because the vaping industry is scamming him and he has the audacity to post complaints on this shill site about it. That is how low VU members are.

http://vapingunderground.com/threads/is-the-vape-industry-scamming-it’s-customers.373043/

I made a long thread that started out about Smok doing this that devolved into the entire industry.

http://vapingunderground.com/threads/smok.369024/

It is futile arguing with shills. They are getting their FDA and TPD karma.

This forum is a business not a consumer advocacy group. It's not in the owner's interest to bash advertisers.
In other words, it is a shill site?
Yes PG. We are all mindless robotic shills here.
