Why did they have to make it harder.
Oh well! No lighting up for 94 days.
We had friends over last Sunday from Italy, and before my wife could explain e-cigs to the lady, she took an eGo with a Vivi Nova out of her purse. Second time I encountered an e-cig user IRL (first time was a musician friend). FWIW Italy will be hit with a 47% tax on e-cigs as well.
In other news, have a listen to this testimony before the Connecticut Health committee (starting at 1:40) by Gregory Conley: https://soundcloud.com/vp-live/super-sub-ohm This was last week, very interesting, and a prime example of how to testify for e-cigs.

Good news folks! The wifey is vape-only as of 6pm yesterday! I bumped her mix up to 2mg with some 2.4 Elite cowboy I had in the cabinet as she's not crazy about the "perfumy" aftertaste of the fruits I have on deck. I did not go for flavors at first either but now.....I just made a pseudo-dripper out of my old PTM2 (as-per RubyROO's vid on youtube) so I could drip some of the flavors I've concocted in the past months by using the last few drops in the myriad of bottles in the cabinet. I used about 2 inches of 3mm silica and wrapped a 3/32 coil at about 1.8ohms high on the deck and just left off the chimney. Works great. There IS a method to this madness besides my being a notorious cheap-ass: Since I'm down to 4% and my zero date is the first, I want to reduce the FREQUENCY at which I vape. Also, the pomegranate/ blueberry/cappuccino mix from a month ago absolutely rocks my tastebuds 2 drops at a time--lookin' for some of that Elite BananaNutBread right now. Just having fun here as always! With the dripper I only hit it every hour and only like..3 puffs. On another positive note my MIL is doing great except she has a hard time filling and changing coils (smoked a cotton micro last week) so I call her every other day to see how she's doing. Just checkin in y'all. Vape on and vape proud!
Behold the power of NO

Congrats to your wife Anattaboy!!
Della I am so glad you joined us. I hope you like vaping as much as we do here.
I quit a 35 years 2 packs a day habit in November. Nothing else had worked.
So far I have not smoked 5165 cigarettes
I spent 327.09 on vape stuff but saved 1033 so my total savings is 705.91
More importantly, I am not out of breath anymore. I did not have a winterlong cold
I don't have smoker cough anymore (especially morning) I don't smell of stale smoke
I don't have small burns in my clothing and I get to vape inside.
It s a win win on all fronts for me.

Thanks for starting and inviting me to this thread Carlotta and congrats on your continued success! I smoked for 39 yrs. and did right at a carton per week, In the nineties it was camel nons. The rest of the time marlboros or something similar. Now I can't stand the smell of them. I vape for about $1 a day and am much healthier than when I was smoking. Hell, I never thought to count the lighters-had to go buy one the other day to burn brush in the back yard. I can't imagine why I ever smoked.

Anattaboy congrats to you my friend. You are a living example of how vaping is a proven quitting cigarette mechanism for minimal cost. Reading your post took me back to how I used to turn my stuff yellow with cigarettes. Not to mention all the clothes and possessions I burned with them. Someone shared a pic on Innokin's Facebook and page I liked. It was of a nice mod and tank sitting next to an AA big book.

I was a dedicated premium cigar smoker for 15 yrs, until I picked up a marlboro red one time and ended up back to cigs for a few more years, hadn't had one cig the whole time smoking cigars even if I ran out. I have been vaping for 2 yrs now and just cant get over how much more I enjoy it. I even tried a cigar , my favorite El Rico Habana double corona, didn't even finish it, blewwck carbon burntness.
