Well, lets see here...

I managed a private bar/club for three years, very successfully and profitably I might add.

AB has lots of experience in the field...

And Superfrog has the keys to the liquor cabinet...

What exactly was it we needed besides that? :D

Oh yeah, we need someone to make drink cups outta coconut shells, and those cutesy little paper umbrellas! :lol:


On it....

I just started the V-pack last week and am already cutting down on regular cigs significantly. I probably should have bought the Magma, but I do like my Volcano cigs - especially the vanilla.

I have smoked 1-2 packs per day for a while -depending on the day. This weekend, I had a LOT of driving, by myself - probably 14-16 hours worth. That generally lends itself to severe chain smoking. Friday night, I had just about 3 full packs of regular cigs. It was only tonight that I smoked the last of those. Under normal circumstances, I would have been running out by Sunday. Yesterday, I went for hours and hours and hours just vaping. I could tell I was smoking a zero nic cartridge because I became increasingly agitated. I"m going to order my carts in different colors so I know what I'm smoking. There's a difference between boredom smoking and nicotine-jonesin'!

(The other great thing about the weekend is that I went to a concert and was up front, in a mob of people in general admission. There was no way I could smoke a regular butt with a) security and b) nobody else smoking around me. The e-cig got me through over six hours of standing in one spot. No nagging cravings, no annoying other people!)

I still like to have a few analog cigs, but the whole e-cig experience (especially the nicotine) makes it easier to put off those cravings. I'm hoping to stop buying real cigs altogether very soon.

Right now the only real problem I'm having is determining when a cart needs to get tossed. It took all my will power to throw away two last night. I find I'm hoarding the others, in case of emergency (waiting for an order to arrive.) I'm not sure how to get the absolute most out of each cart. I just know that, eventually, the cart isn't spent, but it's not giving a decent enough "drag."

Guess I have some reading to do. But I love how I don't need lighters, can't burn my clothing, don't stink, stopped getting ashes everywhere and can vape at work faster than I could smoke even half a real cig. Tomorrow, I'm going to clean out the ashtray in my car and use it for change! No excuse not to vape in the car with several batteries and a car charger! I will vacuum and vow to stop having ash covered carpets, console, etc. My house and car will smell better really soon! I might make myself smoke my real cigs outside. ;)

I love this product and am very happy about the price. My earlier research into other e-cig companies made it seem cost-prohibitive. Volcano is actually cheaper in the long run. (Cigs here run from around $6-8 per pack, so even with the starter kit and other accessories I've purchased, I do believe I have already saved money.)

:P

You don't want to throw the carts away until you have used a syringe to extract quite a bit of remaining juice in a supposedly 'empty' cart.

Do a forum search for Evil Ernie to find the link of the video that show you how to do this!

Congratulations..sounds like things are going swimmingly...I would recommend not tossing those spent carts...cause you can refill them once you start buying juice ;)

:::

The following is a list of Side Effects I have suffered from since I made the change to "vaping"


1.) My breath no longer smells like 3 day old stale dog turds.

2.) My 2 cats will not stop pestering me for pettings.

3.) My ash tray now serves no purpose other than to remind me I do not smoke anymore.

4.) I don't get dirty looks from people at the store anymore as they walk past me giving me a good 5foot breadth.

5.) I am starting to breath and feel much much better.

6.) I can smell again.

7.) I can taste again.

8.) My clothes don't smell like I just washed them with ash trays.

And possibly the WORST side effect of all.
9.) My wife will now snuggle with me while we are in bed(sleeping you pervs, get out of the gutter)


I blame you Volcano, for all of these side effects!
I hope you can live with yourselves for what you have put me through and done to me!!


::::








Oh, I hope The Volcano staff doesn't read the title of this post and insta-delete it, lol.

I am loving Ecigs, and It hasn't even been a week since I started vaping and fully quit analogs, and already I am smelling and tasting things again. I am breathing easier, and my wife is possibly the happiest woman on the face of the planet.
She LOVES the smell of the vape, and yes it does have a -SLIGHT- smell to it. But it is very very faint, and it smells GOOD. The Tobacco has a sweet aroma, that's impossible to describe, it's just very very sweet and yummy smelling, and the Cherry tastes so yummy, and smells the same.


Volcano, I will find some way to thank you and repay you for this wonderful device that is already improving my life.

Until that time, all I can offer is my deepest thanks to each and every one of you way over there in Hawaii.
If you weren't so far away I'd drive down there and hug you all.



yeah those are all pretty bad but you might want to add the terrible truth because of e-cigs you may actually die of old age, thats a big one on my list LMFAO

Another Horrible Side Effect of E-Cigarettes:

As we all know, the effects of 2nd hand cigarette smoke are well documented, especially in those suffering from respiratory problems, who are the primary impetus behind public smoking bans. Although these bans directly affect me, my background in Nursing tells me that this was the right decision to make for their sakes.
Here's the thing - I have a beautiful 6 year-old medium/long-haired Black Angora cat with Athsma. His name is Boo. He's had it his entire life, and needs a steroid shot every 4-6 weeks or so because the pills just don't work well enough for him. :cry:
The longest he's ever managed to go between shots has been 8 weeks, and that happens very seldom - I can count the number of times that's happened on one hand without using my thumb.
Since I started vaping on Sept. 29th (I'll be 5 weeks analog-free on Nov. 3rd), Boo has gone 9 weeks (as of today) between shots (his last one was on Aug. 30th), which is a new all-time record for him! :D
Coincidence? I think not.
He has Athsma. There has been one less pack-a-day's worth of 2nd hand smoke in his environment since his last shot. If A, then B. It ain't rocket surgery, folks... ;)
One of my beloved companions now has a better shot at a longer life thanks to e-Cigs! :mrgreen:

That's so awesome Maddoktor! Thanks for sharing your most excellent news! You're doing great to be five weeks in! I bet that's even more motivation to stay AWAY from the analogs. Good for you! :D

I can tell you guys that five years in I don't get sick nearly as often, the heartburn I used to suffer from is gone most of the time. And I feel great! So stick with it, vaping is so much better for you all then analogs and I am proud of each and every one of you folks for putting your health first and taking action, YOU ROCK! :D
