[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Naaa not to worry, we enjoy reading them and we really enjoy trying to help people sort out any problems they may have, we have all managed to chuck the nasties after trying every method under the sun being able to enjoy our nicotine in a better way makes us all excited about helping each other

[Malibu]

I never get bored reading posts, I like to see if people like/dislike the same as me and if their final choices may be a good one for me to try.
..........also while people are helping you, they are possibly helping me at the same time. Keep asking qustions

Great posts and great reading Jeanie,as Malibu said a lot of us still learn from these posts

[Chrissie]

Also, we have on average 1,000 lurkers (non registered guests) view the forum every day, so you will be helping many of them as well

[jeanie]

Oh, you're all very kind and I have found all your help and encouragement invaluable. I haven't had to ask many questions myself, cos I've usually found answers to them by searching the forum and reading other peoples' posts. The problem with that is, it takes me so long cos I end up clicking on links that take me to other threads and then I have to read those as well, so I don't always have the time to post much myself, or even keep up with the current threads. I'm sure that will change though as I get more confident with vaping.

PS. I mentioned earlier that I was struggling a bit because I wanted a rollie. Well, I've been good and not given in so am feeling quite pleased with myself.

[Chrissie]

Jeanie, please don't ever hesitate asking anything. It doesn't matter to us if it's been asked a hundred times before. That's the main reason we are here, to help as many folks as possible

Such lovely posts Jeanie

Keep reading and asking any questions that you want answered

There are so many visitors to this forum who don't sign up, but I'm sure they get a lot of help and information from threads like this

I'm only a couple of weeks ahead of you and it already sounds as if you're doing better than me. If you're using cartos the best advice I got from here was that cartos have got to be "wetter than a wet thing". I keep that in mind when I fill mine and so far haven't gone wrong yet
I've gone plenty wrong with other things but I'm already getting to the point where I want to make my own juices too.
Another great piece of advice is "don't count the cigs you do have, just the ones you don't".
The biggest issue I have is that I used to use cigarettes as an appetite supressant and sadly vaping doesn't help me there. My wife told me yesterday that I was cranky and maybe I should go back to cigs, at that point after only half a grapefruit 5 hours before I knew it wasn't the cigs but the food

[Malibu]

At first I thought it wasnt affecting me like that and it was the nicotine that suppressd the appetite. Last time i tried vaping I wasnt eating instead.

This time I hate to say I am gaining the weight so it must be one of the other nasty things in cigs that did it. I am constantly eating so now I'm going to have to try and fight that too.

I think I'm fortunate Malibu, as I've a sweet tooth . . . so the Candy flavoured eliquids have filled that urge to nibble for me.

[jeanie]

I wish something would suppress my appetite, or at least keep me from eating sweet foods. I was diagnosed with Diabetes (type 2) last year, so know I shouldn't be having any but I have such a sweet tooth, I find it so hard to resist them. I really need to lose a lot of weight, so maybe if I try some of the sweeter juices, they might help.

[Malibu]

It's not really sweet things its anything lol, I always feel peckish lately. I wonder if it's the mint/menthol. When I chew gum at work in between breaks it made me hungry.

I haven't found nything I can vape yet except menthol, even though I have tried at least 60.

I'm going to try a flavour without nicotine sometime soon to see if that's what's causing it. I'll just keep ruling things out until I fnd out.

[Perpetua]

It's worth a try Jeanie, I only vape what I'd be happy to put in my chops thesedays and it keeps me off the sweet things.

Funny thing is Malibu, I can vape the most disgusting of flavours and not find them too bad, yet Menthol sends me scurrying for the hills!

[Malibu]

Menthol today is sending me potty, it's all I can taste in my mouth. I don't really want it

I have just ordered my first tobacco flavours, anything is worth a go

[jeanie]

I've been up to the market stall this morning and bought a couple more juice samples, a Cherry and a Fruit Mix (both by Hangsen) and I think they are both lovely. In fact, I much prefer them to the Grizwalds mixes, which although they do taste better to me now than they first did, I'm still not keen on the flavours I've got, other than the Black Cat, which I do like but my favourite taste is still Menthol.

When I first began vaping, I couldn't get my head around the thought of "smoking" anything other than Menthol or Tobacco flavours but I've been surprised at how pleasing other flavours can be. They definitely beat the taste of analogs hands down.

It's one week tonight since I last had a smellie!
