    It's official. I'm a douche now. :triumph:

    Jk I only tried it to see if it would be easier on my lungs because I'm allergic to everything.
    It isn't. Still coughing like a bitch. Seems to last longer though, so I guess I'll keep it around...

    Good for you. I'm using vape and tobacco, trying to vape most of the time now.

    I only vape at this point. I've been at it almost 5 years so that's about how long I've been without cigarettes.

    I have smoked the occasional "social" cigarettes but lately I find I'm having chest pain afterward so I'm not doing that anymore.

    I also recently cut back on the nicotine strength in my vape juice so "Yay!" me.

    Good luck with yours. I really enjoy having mine.

    I have vape too. :)
    I've never been a smoker so I dunno what I'm doing. But I know when I don't have my vape, I don't get anxious or anything so I don't think the nicotine really has got me yet. Plus, I know I don't get the craving, and I also know no point baling every hour cause it won't do anything. But maybe that's cause I was never a smoker to begin with anyway?

    All I know is I like to have a vape every now and again. :)

    I'm just using THC carts right now, but I've considered trying other stuff. I don't know though. I have issues with stimulants. I can't even really do caffeine comfortably so I dunno about how good nicotine would be for me. Might get a CBD cart because I hear that can be helpful for anxiety in places where I wouldn't feel comfortable high.

    I'm a vape noob. Does it get you stoned in a similar way as smoking a J or onehitter?

    Weed goes ok in a decent qualty vape, such as the Volcano, less well in small handheld devices - I found it not quite so strong as smoking it by itself.

    Nicotine vaping helped me get off cigarettes, and about 10 months ago I managed to get off nicotine altogether with the help of 4mg lozenges (now off those too) It's different now being a non-addict, and honestly, I never really found vaping as satisfying as tobacco. When I see others puffing up those huge vapour clouds it looks a bit silly. In general I think switching to vaping is only a halfway house solution for those concerned abut negative health impacts of tobacco. Vaping nicotine free e liquids just seems a total waste of time to me, and really it's for posers.

    It's surprising how different things seem now my 40year addiction is gone...I'm starting to get back to a better state now, but for a while things seemed very much 'up in th air'. One reason I haven't been on here much in recent times.

    Carts in handheld devices are pretty lit. They can get you really Stoned but you can also just puff on it and get a chill High.

    I was wondering about that. Glad to see you around again, and to hear you're getting better!

    I estimate 90% of my tobacco intake is in spliffs/joints. Wouldn't mind cutting it out. But pure weed joints don't smoke as good and I really like smoking joints. Haven't tried a pipe, bowl or bong in years. I dig the joint.

    I have this situation. I actually gave up tobacco years ago and only smoked bongs, or neat joints.. But they make me cough more and in the last twelve months I've taken up tobacco again which I never thought I'd do.

    I was never keen on electric vaporizers.. I recently bought a Glass Vapor Genie Sherlock which feels much more like using a pipe, you use a lighter to heat it. Expensive but worthwhile and hopefully I can get back off tobacco.

    But yeah.. Nothing quite like a nice J...

    That's been my experience. I'm a super beginner so I just have a cheapie, but it's working for now. I have a medical card, so I am using it primarily to medicate, and I tend to be sensitive to most drugs, so it doesn't take much, lol.

    I'm just kidding around

    Mostly the only vapers I think are douches are males in the 18-25 age group who hang out in vape shops all day and turn blowing smoke rings into a competitive sport
