Anyone here enjoy vaping?

I'm a cigar/ pipe lover but in between I have taken to keeping my nicotine levels topped up with vaping. Now I have half a dozen mods and too much e liquid. I just find vaping totally relaxing and convenient. The range of tastes and flavours is overwhelming and its probably a lot safer than smoking. Anyone else enjoy this?

No sanctimonious anti-smoking posts, please

i do but recently been trying iqos as an alternative.
I got really into vaping at some point with some top end gear and always made my own liquids (custom made "Dinner Lady" mostly).

I thought it was banned in Australia but I must be mistaken? Surprised there are still a significant number of countries that ban vaping.

that is nuts. Its not great for you but its way better than smoking and that isnt in debate. You would think they would want to cut down on lung cancer since they have to pay to treat it anyway. It would make more sense to outlaw cigarettes in that case... if you had to pick one.

I used to smoke cigarettes so I can’t imagine why on earth I, or anyone in their right mind, would take up vaping unless it was strictly to get off smoking.

You couldn’t pay me to try vaping.

That said, I do enjoy a good cigar every once in a great while.

you are allowed to import up to a litre of Nicotine for personal use subject to customs , usually 10% strength (the 99% can be deadly if not handled correctly in a lab environment with proper ventilation ) , and the rest of the filler is either vegetable glycerine or polypropyl glycol.

yup!

I gave it up , and all my older relatives uncles etc that smoked , saw me vaping , and got really interested , not for their health at first but more for the hip pocket lol $$

and it was actually the first time they could go without smoking , and they had tried patches , pills, gum etc

I just get them to buy their own Nic , a litre of 10% strength lasts over a year I find.

and you freeze what you're not using

Only pipe and cigars for me, but lately I smoke maybe once per two months. So I'm not exactly addicted to nicotine.

Cigars here every now and then, quite rarely these days however. Otherwise I enjoy shisha here and there with friends.

I've never tried vaping and I'm not really interested in it.

I don't know if what Paul does with Anna is called vaping but isn't it pretty much the same thing?

Daily cigar for me. Wife likes to vape.

I have considered it for the winter. Somewhat of a hassle to enjoy a cigar in the winter in my region. Either stink of the garage or freeze outside...

With the recent trend of legalisation & the amount of MJ enjoyers on these forums we should start a 'Your watch & your reefer' thread

Yup, as an ex smoker I find it soothing to vape when I’m out drinking with friends. But sober, never.
