Jeff Matthews Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 After smoking for 30 years, I vaped for about a year. It worked for me. There was one problem, though. On occasion, vaping would cause me to have a sore, irritated roof of my mouth. I looked for information on it, and the best speculation they had was that mouth ulcers seemed to be more common among people who quit smoking. Hmmmm. I don't know about that. Anyway, I gave up vaping after a year, during a bout with the flu. I couldn't vape anyway, so I decided, "Now is the time." I gave it up, too. That was 4 years ago. Never had any more mouth ulcers since. Despite the episodes of having a sore mouth, I credit vaping for helping me get off the cigs, which were doing far worse damage to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This is interesting that vaping has helped people successfully stop smoking. I do neither. But it seems clear that making the change has improved quality of life in various ways for those that quite smoking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I went form cigs, to 4mg gum, to cigars, back to gum, then to gum and cigars and finally gave vaping a try. Just been vaping now for a few years and feel as strongly against smoking now as non vapers feel about vaping. I don't do it in public though, its strange, kind of goofy and on the taboo side IMO. I don't like advertising my bad habits and I never was a walk outside a restaurant mid dinner person to have a smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 My Father-n-law absolutely quit smoking through vaping by gradually reducing the nicotine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am a strong advocate for Vaping. It is the best tool to get people to stop smoking. It is being fought by Big Tobacco because it takes money from them even though they have their own Vape Division---Like Blu Vape. Their is no such thing as second hand vape because vape does not hand in the air like smoke. Vaper's should be very selective in what they vape using American Made liquids and not dangerous vape's from counties like China where they might put dangerous chemicals into the liquids. Vaper's face discrimination from people who know nothing about vaping because it "Looks like Smoking". Wouldn't you rather have a loved one completely Stop Smoking and use the best tool to do so, or watch them kill themselves with cigarettes? If a relative decides to vape instead of smoke, they should be encouraged instead of ridiculed--they are on the road of stopping smoking. These drugs to aid in smoking cessation are DANGEROUS. Big Pharma just wants a piece of the pie. Read the side effects--Vaping has None of These. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I used to run the sound board for the band at the church we attend. Did this for several years. There would be two of us in the booth. The other guy would be doing all the video for the projection screen and monitors around the campus. The dude would vape right next to me in the church in the sound booth during the service. I never thought anything of it. But thinking back, I can't swear what was in that thing. Also, his "vaping bong" was this big thing. Looked like a big flashlight. I think this might have been early in the vaping craze before the cool looking smaller sleeker ones came out. Don't even know what you call those things.

But we do it in private because I know it looks stupid to most people Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I never liked smoking weed, it made me veg. I didn't believe the hype about being a good option for pain relief. I ate small amounts, 3-4 mg when I woke up and didn't have pain for 14 hours. This opposed to starting the day in bed with 2 Norco and water, followed by another 6-8+ more a day depending on what I was doing. It's a catch 22, I can get a script for medical but have to give up my gun license and I love to hunt. If I don't have a card and get tested I get fired because it's a state law but not a federal law. It won't become legal until big Pharm can get their hands in the pie. They don't want a piece, they want it all. They can put the small companies out of business or buy them out. The opposing view is people use pain as an excuse to get high, I'm sure some do. in my case, I don't get high, just laid back and pain free, there is no head buzz, at least in the amounts I eat it Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's all due to having a larger battery or more batteries (like a stack of 2). The more battery, the more vape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
