Just wanted to see if it was that much different from the ones I've tried, these made my throat hurt and I caughed a lot, had heard that Nic Salts might help with that.

TBH one of the things which I think is good about it is that the delivery level of vapour seems low, certainly in comparison to the disposable POS I tried. So I have found it wholly non-irritant but maybe it's because my lungs are like old leather after 30+ years of smoking.
I like to think this is also helping to calm down the desire for fags, although I still want them. The thought that I want a smoke starts in the most subconscious place and makes me reach autonomously for a packet of fags that isn't there before the more conscious thought-process kicks in. But the desire has gone down an appreciable amount.
I have heard the term 'nic salts' but don't know what it is, please explain.

I don't really understand what Nic Salts are, but they suposedly provide a less rough experience at high strength, but do need a vape with a lower power rating - not really sure I've understood things though - still trying to understand things.

The rate of vapour delivery depends on the ohm rating of the vapouriser element. Higher rate, more vapour. Also shorter life of the element. The ones I have been using are .50 ohms. Also, this far not one has burnt out, although they do get gunged up after a while and produce even less vapour. But they are also cheep (via mail order anyway). I have two unused of them spare at present... probably should order a couple more before long.
Type is BFHN.
Oh and all the flavours are shit IMHO but you can get menthol which works much the same as menthol fags used to before the cunting gov banned them.

I broke my bludy vape pen thing. There's a glass bit which is the reservoir for the nicotine goo that one vapourises. And I smashed it. Yesterday I visited every damn vape shop in the vicinity to no avail. Phoned the original supplier. Spoke to nice girl who agreed to send me two new ones FOC. But I am now waiting for Crapola Couriers to deliver them. Chances of a delivery today: zero. I didn't need a slide rule to figure it out. Maybe the morrow if I am lucky. In the meantime...nails bitten. Cups of tea consumed. I have a thing which sprays some sort of nicotine solution onto one's tongue but peculiarly it gives me the hiccups. Giving up fags really sucks. What a cliff hanger ... will his parcel arrive ... will he make his fingers bleed ... will he revert to fags. Can't wait for the next installment. Makes my coffee and cake so dull. Rog

It's a bit of a weird one. I am addicted. This is more than simply wanting something. But the withdrawal symptoms aren't as bad as, say, heroin. Also I have always enjoyed a smoke, and if I had a ciggie right now it would be divine. But I am really mad about the cost which is mostly tax. Yes, I know that's the point. And the fact that it is a dependency is not good.
I have gone through this before and given in. When the Jehovahs say 'if you get through the first week' etc but they are full of shit and don't know what they're talking about. My perspective is that addiction is for life, not just for Christmas. But maybe I'm just being dramatic.
I plan on 'going clean' in a few weeks with a supply of vape crap at the back of the cupboard in case of moments of weakness. But this is maybe as much a fallacy as thinking I can keep a packet of fags somewhere for the same purpose. Because I can't.
It really is as simple as 'just say no' though. I won't die from not smoking.

It's worse than that. It's Evri, the pathetic attempt at re-branding the worst shower of shit ever.

I won't die from not smoking. We both smoked 20 a day (and the rest) upto 1984 and just stopped. To be honest we bought a house, so the money was gone and we couldn't buy them if we wanted. Over the years since then, I've had the odd cig in social settings and it's largely served to remind me that it's not great. Fine at the time, but you and your clothes do stink, your mouth feels like an Ash tray and it makes you cough. Purely financial we gave up. I found habit/ association was the hard part to overcome ... cuppa = fag time ... beer = fag time ... have a sit = fag time etc. Good luck with it ... you will break the habit if you really wish to. But then we're all going to die ... I'll drink to that. Rog

In other news I bought a snood and it was delivered today. I really like my snood but it wouldn't be good to smoke.

Much worse than dying, I have just heard that Jackie Harding is leaving Fazeley Mill Marina. Shame, she was great. Presumably some falling out with the new owners, but I don't have the details yet.
