Did Anyone See....

....this weeks episode of The Simpsons?

If you vape you will end up with a hole in your throat, like smoking?
Vaping is marketed to children?

While I realize The Simpsons, like South Park, often make light of current debates, I got the feeling they were more grandstanding their position on Vaping.

That may be my last Simpsons episode. Given that the show isn't really funny anymore....no great loss.

The Simpsons Cartoon Attacking Vaping

In a recent Simpsons episode that aired a few weeks ago 5/3/2015:

Bart tries vaping and buys them from the quickie mart:

Apu: "Remember, this is not kid stuff. Now would you like Bubblegum Flavor, Strawberry Shortcake or Watermelon Dream?"

Maggie also vapes:

Bart: "It's still legal in this state! The bill's stuck in committee!"

"It's an e-cigarette. Care to vape?"


"Now, vape up."


Marge: Bart's smoking! e-Cigarettes!

Homer: (shrugs) Aw, those are totally legal. (gets excited) Tell me, does he like bubble-gum or strawberry!?!  

Miss Vaping...

I quit smoking to start vaping and have never once missed smoking. A little over a month ago I quit vaping all together after two years of slowly working my nicotine level down from 36mg to 0mg.

I quit vaping at zero milligrams of nicotine and never experienced nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

I guess these would all be good things except for the fact that I miss vaping. Multiple times a day since I quit the thought of having a vape pops in my head and just as soon as it does this weird feeling of loss follows as I realize I no longer vape. I would think by now these feeling would have subsided but they have not.

I wouldn't think much of it but since quitting I have gained 10lbs, have little to no energy, find myself easily frustrated and worst of all have found myself drinking a lot more than normal (which is probably why I gained 10lbs anyway). A huge part of me just wants to go back to vaping.

I guess my question is, Did anyone else quit vaping and experience weird side effects from quitting? If so, how long did it take you to feel normal again?  

Throat Irritation

10 days ago and tried a puff plus vape for the first time. I used it about 8-10 times that day. After that day I had a cool feeling in my throat and chest whenever I breathed in which was weird. That cold feeling from the vape lasted like a week and turned into more of a feeling where my throat needs to be cleared 24/7. I have acid reflux and this had aggravated it more. I saw a doctor today and they said to just keep taking the acid reflux medicine but it hasn’t helped much. Anyone ever experience something like this from vaping?  

Please Help Before I Give Up Vaping

I need help asap. I am in tears as I just don't know what to do. I keep getting this awful taste from vaping, it's sort of in my nose as well, it's a chemical horrid acrid taste, I have changed oils, tried different company's. I have renewed the oil barrel (cleartomizer?) sorry not down with the lingo. I have tried about 4 new ones. I am at a loss. I know I may have vapour fatigue, as I can hardly taste any of my old flavours, however why am I tasting a horrible taste? I can understand not tasting anything, but can't understand why everything tastes horrible. I have been vaping for 9 weeks after smoking for 25 years, I was getting on great guns really enjoying it, now I am in tears as I just don't want to start smoking again, but I can't stand the taste I am getting. At the moment I am vaping a mint one as it's the only one that covers up the horrible taste. But not completely. I usually vape sweet stuff, like caramel, blueberry, Amaretto. Help please.  

Getting Harassed For Vaping...

just feeling harrased for vaping in public. I have no choice but to vape in public since im basicly staying at a hospital right now in cali with .y husband. He has some health issues and we were flown down here. Anyways Im a very polite vaper or I try to be. I go where no one else is and o done blow it at people. Im not trying to force anything on anyone but people give me dirty looks and say "theres no smoking" say that in ur most annoying voice btw lol. Its funny sometimes people cough cus they dont see its vapor. So its kinda funny people are subconsciously choking on smoke thats not there. Best smelling smoke ive ever smelled! Anyway let me know if any of you have experienced this. Thanks for letting me vent a little.  

Children Vaping Is A Parenting Issue, Not A Government Issue

Children Vaping is a Parenting Issue, NOT a Government Issue

I am so tired of the "What about the Children" crap I could scream.

I listened to some of the Round table talk with the President today at work.

I actually heard a woman exclaim WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN ...omg...

What's the matter with people that they can't parent their children and instead go crying to the government to DO SOMETHING ! ??
The school that let Juul in to talk with the kids...What the hell kind of school does that anyway ?
That really passed approval of the School Board ? THAT should be addressed.

Let's see...e-cigarettes are for 18 or older and kids are still getting them (just exactly like WE did with our cigarettes). HOW is raising the age to 21 going to magically stop that ?
ALL that is going to do is make it difficult for those smokers under 21 that need/want to stop smoking cigarettes.

Parents need to start paying attention to their children and what they are doing.
Get off the phones and iPads and act like a family.


I have a feeling many parents are going to be really surprised to find out that little kiddo's e-cig is really THC instead of nicotine.
How ya like THEM apples - huh ?

but...that's legal now so I guess it's just fine.

What a messed up world.
Yea...I'm a bit royally pissed.  

Truth About Vaping - Episode 2 "the Nicotine Misconception"

 

Bleeding Nose, Raspy Voice, Sore Throat

My husband was doing great giving up the analogs. Six weeks later (four cig. free), he's complaining about his nose drying out so much it bleeds and is scabbed over inside and his throat hurts/dry/rasp. Anybody else experience these symptoms? Is it too high nicotine, not enough water, the PG is messing with him, gunk is getting cleaned out of his system? I'm just not sure what to do for him, but he's threatening to go back to analogs because of how he's feeling. He's using Aspire ego batteries with clearomizers, 50/50 ejuice with 12/18mg. He really likes vaping, and I hate for him to go back to those stupid cigarettes.  

Anyone Else Not Care Much For The "throat Hit"?

I prefer my vapes to be smooth and mellow with lots of vapor but not much throat hit. Yes I was a 30+ year smoker who converted to vaping a couple of months ago, but I do not care for the throat hit that many seem to try and get more of.

Am I abbie normal?

BTW I do enjoy vaping and still do vape tobacco flavor. To reduce the throat hit on that I buy high nic tobacco juice and blend in some VG to reduce the nic level down to 12mg and make the vape smoother. The Clayton and Buck naked juice works well for this, they wind up tasting good and vaping like a lite cig.  

Doge Is A Celebrity Before You Knew What Doge Is.
