Cold Sensation

I thought that wasn't supposed to happen to vapers. I think this is my first cold in 3+ years.  

I am trying to understand why pretty much since 2019 that every jucie I try I feel like I have a slight allergic reaction too.

I have brought from Vape shops then suspected it's not good jucie so recently I order direct from KIC and the flavor corde du roi give me some kind of sensation. It's 6mg/nic

To decribe it it feels like my face is getting tingly like a warming sensation. It seems to only be dark liquids too (Amber coloring). Also with a slight itchiness.

What's making me confused is that I suspect its time to change the coil but, it looks decently clean. Could it be newer mesh coils using poor metal?

On the other hand is because of the switch plastic bottles?

I might buy from virgin vapor best damn tabacco even though its dark it may be okay.  

A few month ago I was vaping 24mg juice, been doing that for a few years. I started strong to quit cigs. My biggest cravings happen when I wake up, and after a meal.

I made the decision to quit vaping so I cut the strength down to 10mg 2 month ago. Then a few days ago I cut down to 5mg. I plan do cut down further to 2.5mg a month from now, and then 1.25mg...etc. I do DIY juice so all I have to do is dilute my jar when I have 50% left.

Right now I still get some craving at trigger time, and each time I cut down, I need to puff more in the first few days.

I wonder if my cravings will decrease as my nic level decreases. Once I'm at 1.25mg I plan to quit cold turkey, and I wonder how hard it will be? I should also mention that I vape menthol, so each time I dilute my juice I'm also weakening the cooling sensation that I'm used to.

Well, over the time all changes, even the beloved habits and hobbies, so is vaping, I do remember when I did started, a bit confused, a bit scared and with some doubts, then enjoyed a lot RDA’s, rolls, making coils and all those new things that changed out the habit… for example to switch the cigarettes pack and light on your pocket for a vape mod and maybe a juice bottle too,

so at the beginning I did used some sub-ohm tanks, then moved to RBA’s…. oh boy, the RDA’s, the coiling art and wicking, what a times on some stores, talking, vaping having great times!
Then, the need of more liquid, the hassle of dripping and there were no squonks available… so, decided to try RTA’s, oh what a wonderful land, tank capacity and dripper alike sensation, draw, flavor and vapor production..

Then… maybe a bit late, started using more mtl rta and pods, the vaping sensation changed a lot, I was maybe using 120ml per week on RTA’s and seldom a RDA, the liquid consumption reduced that much that I maybe use 10ml per day, 25max on a hard stressful day, the salt nic consumption raised when started using salts on TC mode with a RTA mtl and single battery mod,


How have your vaping habits and hobby changed, has It been affected by new devices and new trends?



Regards,  

It's been two months today since I stubbed out my last analogue cigarette and totally switched to vaping. You can say I quit cold turkey. I have had a couple of puffs here and there to see whether I really was missing something and convinced myself I absolutely did not. Today I can't understand how I spent 45 years of my life consuming such horrible, stinky stuff.

Have I saved money? No, not at all. It will be a year at least before I get into the black, and that is if I stop buying anything, which is very unlikely. It's become a hobby now and I'm enjoying myself thoroughly.

Has my life improved? Immensely! I had reached a point where the least little head cold turned into bronchitis almost instantly. I had four bouts of bronchitis this last autumn and winter. Since I switched to vaping I did catch another cold but it stayed that way - just a light head cold. For the past couple of years I needed to take an anti-tussive at bedtime because that dry, irritating, smokers cough would not let me sleep at night. No more now... I'm free. But there have been other improvements I never even imagined. I suffer considerably form arthritis. For the past 20 years at least I have had to take painkillers in the morning to ease the stiffness and be able to function... probably because I slept so poorly and tossed and turned all night. No more. I now sleep well, wake up refreshed and almost totally pain free. Apart from the side effects of medication I'm saving money there too even though I am not taking it into account.

And I have learned so much... physics and chemistry - ohms law and coils, resistance and watts and volts and amps, batteries and safety. And proper lab procedure in my DIY juice experiments.

And of course coming to this forum and meeting such a host of lovely, generous and knowledgeable people, to say nothing of the wit and humour.

It's been an epiphany and such a joy! I smile a lot more now.

This past week marks 5 years since I smoked a cigarette. It honestly doesn't seem that long, it seems like yesterday I was huddled out in the cold at work with the smokers. I had been a smoker for 28 years.

Unlike many I see posting here, I cannot say vaping helped me quit. I quit cold turkey, and never tried an ecig until about a year after I quit smoking. At that point I was still doing well as a non-smoker, I didn't physically crave smoking, but I missed the 28 year habit of lighting up, having something to fiddle with, and just the relaxing feeling of the inhale/exhale. I had been eating a lot more to make up for the void, and having been underweight all my life I started packing on pounds (too many!). I sorely needed a non-food substitute for the comfort I was missing, but wasn't about to go back to smoking.

I tried a junky convenience store ecig after that first year, and thought "if this was what they were like than forget it". I continued on not smoking, but still missing the habit. About two years after that I began seeing the new advanced products coming out, and did a lot of research. I bought my first starter kit in 2013, and slowly advanced up to bigger and better gear.

People ask why would start vaping after I had already kicked the cigarette habit, and I say, "Why not?". Other than nicotine I'm not getting any of the negative things I got with cigarettes. And in my opinion, there's really nothing wrong with a little nicotine. Nicotine is not what was killing me, it was the smoke that was delivering the nicotine that was killing me.

So I'm 5 years smoke free, I no longer hack in the mornings, my chest never hurts and my clothes, car and hair don't stink anymore.
I have no intentions on giving up vaping, as it has no negative impact on my life, and i enjoy it, so why stop?

I have since gotten my son, my step-son, and his wife to all trade vaping for smoking, so bonus points for saving all their lives too!  

Accidently left My vaporesso swag in the sun for about 1 hour. When I touched it it was somewhat warm so let it in a cold place for a while. Can it be Bad/dangerous?  

I recently tried some dl vaping (restricted) and I noticed the flavour was much more detailed or pronounced....on both inhale and exhale...than mtl
Then I realised it was cause when I dl I tend to inhale deeply while when I mtl I usually dont.....I just mtl like a cigarette fast puffs or slow puffs but not deep inhales...once I changed that and inhale deeper the flavour was much better in my also...also I like to exhale trying only from mouth but of I can't and some goes through nose also and that helps with flavours....but I don't like exhale from nose only cause I feel like my nose is running ewwwwww I hate that feeling....
You guys? Do u like exhale from nose only sometimes??  

Ugh!!! I got a bad head cold a week ago and had to stop vaping because it made me cough like crazy. I decided to try again day before yesterday and now I can't taste my juice at all and it still makes me bout want to gag! I've lowered my watts on my istick 30 to 12.5 I was using 15 so I won't cough, but it's like I have vapers tongue or something and I know that can't be!! Anyone had this to happen?
