Has anyone noticed that on ebay they have lots of people selling aids to quit smoking l wonder if those same people are on e cigs or just quit total? Don't worry l do silly things like this spose cus my life is so quiet, l have even started doing jigsaws in an attempt to quit but before you all start rolling around laughing it helped me half the habit but that's as much as it can do.
How easy have you found actually getting to grips with the kit etc? well done by the way.
I bought the Skycig kit..simple to use slight concerns over charging it though, kinda mistrust it at the moment not sure if it's doing what it says on the tin lol! suits me at the moment but I think I might go for a stronger cart.. regular is fine through the day but mornings are a struggle.
Yes l can imagine, that is why l am asking so many questions and waiting to meet some of the gang before l buy so l can have the best l can to help as this is not going to be a walk in the park by any means for me
A cut off is a safety feature built in to a lot of devices. What it does is after a set time it will turn off the power coming front the battery. This is to protect the person from taking too deep a breath & to prevent accidental operation of the device. If it is a push button operated one & its in your pocket, you would not want it continuously heating the atty if the button was accidentally pressed.
I'm new to all this toooo! I think it's going to take a while to take everything in, there's so much to think about. I'm not putting any pressure on myself the way I see it is every nasty I don't have is a blessing and helps to pay for the kit I bought, one day at a a time

You say about it helping your lungs, for me even this short time I have been vaping, my lungs are vastly improved. I was very fit in my youth and did a lot of sport and a lot of water sports. I am a qualified diver though not been for a long time. I know my lung capacity had vastly reduced. The big indicator for me was last year we went to Tintagel, which to anyone that has been there will know about the hill. the year before I had power walked up it, draggin the youngest along with me, (ok not draggin but hurrying her) it was to because she kept running on ahead when me and the Mrs wanted a nice walk to enjoy the little sun we had. As I was saying, Last year, I found that I was huffing and puffing most of the way up, I felt disgusted with myself, I should not of been like that unless I had a bad cold. Here I am now, one month off the ciggys, and I know my lungs are so much better than they used to be. when I firse started the e-cig used to cut off at 5 seconds, which I never got to, then I started to get to the cut off, now I have an eGo with a cut off of 10 seconds, and I keep hitting it. ergo my lungs have gotten bigger. back to what they used to be like. I can feel it in myself too, I do not get out of breath so easily anymore.
Now you have lost me What does the cut off you talk about mean???
Ripple, when vaping you don't have to inhale right into your lungs, you can if you want. You will still get the feeling of smoking and the nicotine hit by just taking the vapour into your mouth. May be worth trying considering your problems?
Good idea guess would be better if l didn't inhale unless l have to, thanks for that.
Quite, quite easily Wobble, as I've a sneaky suspicion that the woman in the Sat Nav, isn't entirely sure where she's going to . . . so I've had to question her directions on a number occasions now.
Took me a couple of weeks to become a tobacco free zone Ripple, until like Karma, I woke up one morning and thought . . . I don't fancy a ciggy this morning and vaped instead.
Once I'd overcome that must have a cigarette before I do anything else mindset, I knew I'd cracked it.
Much to my amazement must admit, as I loved my ciggies, absolutely loved them.
Don't know why now.
Can't wait to meet you, l am a realist and don't expect miracle's anymore, just take it day by day and hope it all works out the way l want it to.
You need to be aware that Propylene Glycol in Ejuices can cause an allergic response in some people,- dry sore throat, irritated airways being some of the symptoms.
Just a heads up, not sure how it affects people with exisiting respiratory problems. Maybe someone with more experience could give their opinion.
Either way its better than ciggies.
Yes l was aware of that and had already decided l was going for the other one to begin with as when l get bad l always end up in the back of an ambulance, thanks for the info will let everyone know how it goes as there might be others like me and need to watch out for certain things
It is guaranteed to help that is partly why as l want to be able to enjoy my g'kids while they are still young enough, walking far is my main problem with this illnoess. l have sent pm to you
At the risk of being personal, ignore me if you want, what are the symptoms of early onset emphysema/copd?
This was diganosed in my case as l had severe chest infection but could not breath enough to talk or walk was told that l had no oxygen in my lungs and unless l got oxygen l would not make 24 hours, so a week in hospital and a week on oxygen and l was back to normal but the way mine has gone is because l am on imunne supresents and if l catch cold etc l end up in hospital as my system can not cope because of the meds, since then l have the label of COPD, but it is only mild and as long as l stay away from obviously ill people l seem to cope fine
I have early onset emphysema too ripple, but the specialist told me as long as I don't smoke anymore, it won't get any worse. I'll have to have a cat scan every 2 years though just to be on the safe side as I passively smoke.
You poor thing but at least it is early stages do you have oxygen in the house? Hope you don't mind me asking you that only l did and it turned out that it was actually making me worse so l went onto a inhaler and l seem a lot brighter for some strange reason, l was diagnosed in 2008 what about you? If l am being to personal just tell me
l am the only one in house but daughter does also my bro but not my sis or my son, theory is if parents do kids will follow, not convinced that this is true as some of my friends have never smoked but some of their kids do and same with partners, but then theory's are just that, people's opinions which is fine as long as they respect the fact that just because it is their opinion does not make it the right one for everyone. Sometimes the Goverment Bodies should remember that being in that job does not actually make them always right
Hi All, just got back from day with family and boy isn't it hot in the car even with a/c on!! glad to be home in the cool out of sun, thanks for all advice today it is a real help to hear others methods, making me realise there is no right or wrong way to approach this project just take each day as it comes and fingers crossed will get there in the end.
wobble im not actually in Bristol just the p/c is i'm about 20ish miles away in the countryside (whats left of it) Don't get half as much traffic as you lot do and rush hour is a breeze here compared to what you lot have to put up with. Right of for a cuppa and a chill out,
I will ask her and I am willing to bet my vaping gear on it that she has
She is in Devon, but has lived up north etc, I will give you some clues, see if anything rings a bell and if you know her. so childish I know but I am childish
Here goes-she and her husband have always had/shown/bred rough collies, they gave up showing for a bit due to health, she and I met six yrs ago as we bought litter mates Australian shepherds, she showed the Aussie a lot more than I did, sadly Pebbles died young of epilepsy, my girl has petit mals and hopefully it will never go full. Their Prefix is............. Sharrain, so you know her?
Not personally but have been at shows where they were (big shows) l am sure that Rifflesea know her and visa versa, in the near future l will be starting on a life long pedigree for Rifflesea from the first dog she ever owned upto the present day (hopefully) and this will take some real brain work on my part so the dosh l save from the e cigs will be well invested
Just a thought ask her if she knows of the W.E.C.S Club and if so ask her if she remembers the lady that did the Breed Table about 10 years ago?
