    OK, a small update guys...

    It's now officially on week and one day that I haven't had a signle cigarette (thank you thank you - feels good)


    however I got something called "vapeur's tongue" basically I lost a good chunk of my smell and taste.
    I will come back but lte me tell you it's ****ing frightening.

    It happened last night I was having dinner with my mother and I said, I can't taste the chicken, I literally can't. I can't taste the patatoes either. I can't taste the e-cig vapor taste.

    Now, I switched e-liquid to another flavor, sucking on lemons and the taste seems to be getting back.


    Phew that was a close call.
    I did some research and it's very usual for someone who quits smoking and startse-cig to have that.

    Basically after years and years of extremely reduced taste and smell, you quit smoking, you quit the tar and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM there is a ressurection of smell and taste.

    But that coupled with the very acute aromas of the e-cig make the taste buds and the brain receptos overload. So our sense of smell and taste basically shut down for a little while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I' left with 3 senses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Anyay, ti will go away, it has already begun to do so and to fight back I lowered even more the nicotine, now i'm getting virtually almost nothing


    You ain't gonna beat me mother****er (pardon my french)

      I'd call it healthier, but I wouldn't call it healthy.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        It's miraculous.

        Everyone who is opposed to it, give people to cancer and death.


        And of course it's not healthy, it's healthier by a very wide margin compared to cigs and it's a gateway to try and quit.


        E-cig quit rate (unofficial estimates): 60%

        nicotine patches, nicotine spray: 6%



        Also what they said about increased apettite is true. (that's where vegetables come in, apparently )

          About the taste and smell the brain mainly switches off that particular vapor taste.

          Let's say you like apple taste. The brain will switch off that taste, mainly (but also all the others will be diminished)


          Come on, you're from kansas. You must be used to the manure. After a while it doesn't even affect you, you think the air is clean!!!



          It's basically the same concept

            About the close call, I did a lot of reading

            Le Petit Vapoteur, site de cigarette électronique, vous donne accès à une gamme complète de packs. Vous avez également la possibilité de faire l'achat d'e-liquides en ligne


            excellent site also in english


            Once this happens (called I don't know what in enlgish but has to do also with the nose - mainly with the nose) , a lot of people seem to panic and switch to regular cigs


            You shouldn't. switch the flavor, drink a lot of water (glycerine used to vape dehaydrates, it's water friendly/absorbant) and

                Congratulations, man. I generally approve of vaping as a concept, because I hate smoking, but my one personal experience with them involved a coworker vaping in the damn break room. It smelled like somebody farted after douching with Kool-Aid. I didn't quite have the nerve to tell him to quit stinking up the unventilated closet we all had to eat lunch in.

                    I live on a former hay farm, I allow a cattle farmer to hay the back four acres, but cows, goats, and others of their kind are NOT welcome here.

                        My whole body aches from the gym...

                        But just 3 kilos to lose for optimal weight.

                        I'll rest on the plane

                          Went abroad still not smoking.
                          Ate salmon and fish and salad, walked a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way.


                          And now for a song I was listening riding the tram (I'm hardcore like that)

                            3 weeks without cigarettes.
                            been htting the gym for 9 days now
                            eating very very healthy

                            I'm exhausted.

                            I lost a total of 4-5 kilos in two weeks. I'm one kilo away from optimal weight.


                            I just feel tired and bruised. I need to sleep

                            Torn between the salmon
                            And the steak you leave behind
                            You're headed for disaster
                            'Cause you never read the signs
                            Too much health will kill you - every time

                              Stay strong. I'm at around 10 years now, but still smoke in my dreams.

                                I still have dreams where I'm in school, but I'm definitely not doing that again.
