I mean, I actually proper offering to knock on a randomers door clutching vaping gear....................my offer still stands. Il borrow daughters taser and have illegal pepper spray to hand 

HAHAHA

That proper made me laugh out loud. I feel better already.
Haven't laughed in weeks lol thank you.

I promise I'm not an axe murdurer and thank you but I do have gear a-plenty.

There's a B&M shop on town. They do wizmix and he's getting some helicon haze liquids in this week so I'm told.
Surely I'll be able to find something I like in those wont I?

I think I just need to find that one juice I love again to get me back actually enjoying vaping and not finding it a chore. If only it was as easy done as it is said.

There are juices I fancy but I've wasted so much cash on juice that I end up not liking I am reluctant. Squid ink sounds ace. So do butterfly bait and callipiter chow.

Maybe I should just go back to basics. Get rid of the mods etc and just get another spinner or an MVP and keep things simple.

you could also try to change the 50/50 - try different percentages - maybe that solves your stomach problems
sometimes in the evening I can't taste my beloved banana that much - so I go for a strong lemon menthol option - how about trying soft mint or spear mint instead of menthol if you think you are allergic to menthol

you have so many nice gadgets - am sure you will put them to good use

Thanks. I have half a bottle of Joose juice soft mint which I love. But for some reason it doesn't love me lately.

Every cig you smoked tasted rank so I don't think it's that, I think you've hit a bored spot in your depression where nothing satisfies, I suspect even if you went back on cigs you would still have the problem hanging about. Maybe it's the time of year, lack of light, cold and wet, it's a bit of a drag. Spring starts next month though woohoo!

Anyway what's a cig gonna do for you vaping cant? You'd still smoke cig after cig even though they taste rank, at least the vaping isn't going to ruin your insides.

Don't give in to giving up, Jerri, you've done too well & spent a bit to throw the towel in now. Surely one of the guys that like to & are good at fiddling could have a play & fix that for you. In the meantime, get some of that super strong menthol in something else & take up Pepperty's kind offer.

I feel your pain @jerri, I've been tempted a few times over the last year. Sometimes it seems like such an effing hassle. Why am I bothering with all this gear, these rebuildables, mixing these juices,charging these batteries. Why the hell didn't I just stick with the egos and evods, weren't they perfectly fine?
Maybe I'll walk past a smoker, blissfully puffing away on a B&H and get that intoxicating whiff of burning tobacco. Mmm.

The thing is Jerri, it passes. The next day maybe some vapemail will come with a new juice that smells amazing. I'll stick some into an RBA that suddenly wicks perfectly and delivers a mindblowing vape. Maybe I'll walk past a smoker after he's stubbed out a ciggie and smell that awful stale ashtray stink on him and hear that nasty smokers cough. Then I'll remember why I'm doing this.

Hope your vapelife improves soon, we're rooting for you!

You know what I think you're right.

I have suffered with depression that seems to be getting worse since I lost my mum just over a year ago. A few weeks back a close family friend passed. And it may sound a bit selfish but on top or actually grieving for the person lost it's brought it all back about my mum. Funeral was the same place etc and everything just seems a bit overwhelming right now.

Jerri Not sure what to say really with you only smoking 5 a day except having one smoke is surely the wrong direction. I would contemplate giving up altogether if you intend to quit vaping.
Trying to find the ultimate flavoured juice is like looking for a needle in a haystack and sometimes the flavoured juice might be great one day and taste awful the next. Try menthol to refresh your taste buds and then go back on the juices that you like after a couple of days, some people say this works. You have been vaping for 16 months now and your well and truly set up for a while, so its just a case of finding that perfect vape. I know things can spiral out of control and can seem expensive but you can't really put a price on health so stick at it and if you ever do track it down then let us know.

Excuse me if I spoke out of term

[Deleted]

I am sure I don't read properly. forget the menthol line as already been said your trying it.

Best of luck Jerri

I'm expecting shitty days here too, and yeah, I get off days... I almost get panicky when I'm down to 'only' 4 juices I like, and I end up striving to find new ones I'll love;' I just remind myself thats its a bloody sight better than chuffing on 'the cheapest 20 ciggie packet at my local shop' <<thats tastes like burning scum>> so every eliquid I try is a vast improvement. Mayfair? hello ?

Juice that tastes like old mans socks and cheezy wotnots has to be better? thank gawd Ive random ready mades and a ton of concentrates so I can DIY my own. Marmite flavour/anyone?

[Raffles]

KISS... Keep It Simple S*****

All I ever wanted to do was save money, the health benefits were a very welcome bonus.

I have a couple of Spinners, an MVP V1 (seldom used) and it works for me.

Are you able to get out and about? Sometimes a little wander can be enough to take the edge off and make you feel better or some other distraction.

Can't advise much on the grief side but I do find with depression or depression boredom sometimes you just have to make that extra bit of effort to get yourself moving. It can be really difficult but more often than not it's worth it and the more you do it the easier it can get.

But anyway I would say just try to hang in there because the cigs wont do anything for you, you'd probably end up annoyed at yourself if anything.

I do get our and about. I find walking boring tbh, plus is effing freezing. But I do do my best not to stay in all the time.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I do greatly appreciate the support.

I'm going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be less crap.

Hiya mate, looking at that pic, looks just like you need to resolder the lead...save the expense of getting a new one.
