The Porch for Older Folks is dedicated to Tex. He started the ball rolling and helped so many of us when we first started our vaping journey. He offered us encouragement, shared his knowledge and told us great personal stories ranging from riding the rails as a kid, working as a lineman, lumberjack and fishing the cold waters of the Bering Straits.

Randall (Tex) has since passed on and we are honored to continue the Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch in his memory.

Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part 2

Older People 55 and Up (original, now closed)  

Seen it mentioned over and over here that after vaping for a variable period
of time analogs start tasting 'nasty' to many (most?) people. Happened with
my father in law after about two months. Has not yet happened with a coworker
who vapes and still smokes. Think he has vaped over a year total and at
least four months with a proper rig.

So, exactly how can vaping while quitting change the taste of cigarettes when
cold turkey or the patch do not? At least they did not in the past, wife and
I quit and started back at least four times each before we finally
succeeded. Final time was almost six years ago so we were well before the
fire retardant / carpet glue was added.

Anyone quit and restart via vaping both before and after fire retardant was
added? Was the nasty taste absent back then or less pronounced?

Curious to hear from from anyone who has quit and restarted with different
methods and how the taste differs. Have read that Chantix and similar also
can cause a nasty taste. Is it the same as from vaping or different?

Never seen or found a thread devoted to this so though I would start one.  

Those arghhh moments when I was cleaning my atties and one insulator goes down the drain.

Those arghhh moments when I was walking, looking at mod screen to adjust power or looking at eliquid left in tank and end up bumping to something.

Those arghhh moments when I was walking somewhere in a rush, dropped the mod and before it reaches the ground managed to kick it like there was no tomorrow.

Those arghhh moments when the mod is in my pocket, adjusts itself to max power and I decide to grab it to take a committed puff.

Arghhh

Please, don’t be fooled by the old folks in the title. The range of vaping experience and gear spans a wide gap. We’ve got folks content with basic setups using carto tanks and we’ve got folks using temp control mods and the latest RDA/RBAs.

So if you’re just starting out or your more experienced this is the place to be for us older folks. You got a question - we’ve got an answer or three. (And we good at spending other people’s money - so be forewarned). So pull up a rocker and make yourself at home.

And - oh, oh, oh - there’s no age limited or checking done here. Most of us can’t see good enough to read your legal id anyway. The only age criteria is that today your a day older than yesterday.

I going to ‘prime the porch’ with a few posts from the early days. It’s fun to look back just a few years and see not only where we where but were the state of vaping was w/ respect to equipment.  

I dont know why people say that I am as I cannot get onto VU cause I'm banned but please, hear me out. I have never scammed anyone. Hell I got sent $100 this weekend by mistake on PayPal and I returned it to the person. I can show proof of that. I did business with multiple people before I was banned and had nothing but 100% positive feedback. Jinxd from VU sent me $10 to send him an rta, i wasnt able to ship it cause i couldnt get his address from the messages. I paid him back and can prove that too. I traded MANY times with gadget, once for an authentic mod worth over $100. Did not scam him.
I want people to stop accusing me of stuff I did not do. I hate that people I dont even know or who dont know me hate me cause of something I did not do. I dont enjoy being harassed over this when I had nothing to do with what happened. Hell I am willing to pay or give or whatever happened to whoever got scammed just to clear my name. I have a good job I have had for many years now. I have no reason to scam anyone.
If I was scamming people on VU why the heck would I come here under the same name?? That makes no sense to me. Anyways, I'm sorry for whatever happened and if theres a way for me to fix it. I will. Just please, stop harassing me when I didnt do anything to anyone  

Hi. It's been a while since I've been here. I haven't had a need for anything, vape wise, in quite a while. But now I need to replace my aw 18490 batteries, and I just saw a thread saying the aw factory was destroyed. So apparently I need a new suggestion.

I need something safe as I'm using Reo mini. Can someone suggest a brand please?  

Hate tooth extraction.
Have to work around vaping for the next several days. Thinking about 50% 100mg Nicotine in VG, 25% PG, 20% plain VG, and maybe 5% of a mint flavor. Not for vaping, but to apply a drop it two directly onto the tip of tongue to avoid nicotine withdrawal.
Any ideas ?  

The following thread was posted at Health Safety and Vaping Forum
Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind. and didn't get any replies.  

I was doing so well for many months then I slipped back into smoking. First (because of stress) had two each morning, then had other "excuses" and it was 3, 4, 5... some days 6. I hate myself! One day my RTAs leaked, another day my new drop-in was bogus... lots of handy excuses but that's all they were. Smoked my last one this morning... might have to "vape like hell" for a few days but I've got to do this. I could use some support, but what I really need is some "tough love"... tell me I'm an idiot, a fool, how I did so good for so long and screwed it up (don't hold back... put a boot on and kick away) I guess a little emotional support would help too.  

Hi everyone! I am going to be stepping down to 0mg liquid and I figured I'd make a thread and see if anyone would like to join in on the experiment. I've quit nicotine a few times throughout my life and I think I've nailed down a pretty good method. I basically just create an interval between the time I wake up, and the time I vape liquid with nicotine in it. So to begin, for example, I would go a week where-in I am vaping only 0mg nicotine for the first hour I am awake, then a week where I go 2 hours before I vape nicotine liquid. If anyone here is struggling to step down, you're welcomed to join in. This thread can serve as a goals and accountability thread if a few of us commit together. If you are interested in joining, please comment below and follow this thread. We can begin in a week or so to allow anyone who wants to join that doesn't have 0mg, enough time to buy/order 0mg. We can check in with each other and report how we felt going without. If all goes according to plan, we can then begin to plan our next step down due date. You can also play along by just abstaining from vaping for your first hour. Maybe we can choose a goal to hit by New Years.

Let me know if you want to give it a shot. Lurkers welcomed.
