Mixing Juices

So, I'm still vaping. I'm very happy about that. Now, my current goal is to continue weaning myself off of nicotine by adding less and less with each order. Depending on site availability, I'm down to 3 to 6 mg of nicotine in my juice.

Keyword: "Depending"

If a good sale is going on at a particular site, I'll get what I can. Then there's some sites that offer free samples, etc. When these assorted bottles get low and/or if I have one with more nicotine than I want, I start mixing. Nothing special, usually, but RIGHT NOW I'm vaping something that's tasting pretty damn good. It's Galactic Green Apple from Alternate Cig (about 20ml, give or take) (6mg nic.) mixed with Honeydew Melon from Vista Vapors (10ml) (0mg nic.) and uh, something. (Damn, I totally forgot the flavor. It was also from Vista Vapors.) (10ml) (0mg nic.)

It's actually pretty smooth and calm. Kinda relaxing.

In the grand scheme of things, I mix to even off the nicotine level and/or to empty the last few drips of a bottle, if my tank is full. (And sometimes to dull out a flavor I'm not really digging.)

Speaking of tanks, I'm currently using an Innokin iSub Apex...and this thing is fucking awesome. I'm not sure how I feel about sub ohm vaping yet, but there are 2 ohm coils available for it, so it's all good. It's a really great all-arounder. Clean coil change system, clean top-filling, and the new air flow system is really nice. I just wish it was bigger. (It holds 3ml.)

And I'm vaping this tank on an Innokin CooFire IV. 2000mah battery with variable voltage and wattage. 40 watts max and 7.5 volts max. Fairly simple and to the point with a really nice and comfortable physical design. Again, I'm very happy.

Keep vaping, Peeps.

Almost A Full Week Smoke-Free

Late evening, Friday, June 26, 2015, I smoked what should be my last cigarette. Much of life is about motivation. Motivation is something I lack... severely. So, while having a few beers with my friend, Rick, I got onto Snapchat and snapped a picture of my cigarette and asked for some motivation.

And Motivation is exactly what I got...from a very special source. It's not much of a secret that I have a special someone in my life, who I only refer to as Cupcake, that I am very fond of. Snapchat is our chatting tool of choice and, of course, she responded to my public snap. It was short, sweet, and right to the point. She gave me my motivation and I didn't even need to be bribed. ;-)

That's it. That's all I needed. Oh, I'm sorry... Did you think I was going to show her face? Nah. That would defeat the purpose of hiding her name, Silly. Jokes aside, I've been doing very well with quitting. I've switched to vaping to start weaning myself off of nicotine, while immediately cutting out all that other crap they put into them any more. So I thought I'd post a progress report. The two images, below, should say it all, really.

 

As you can see, the initial health improvements that come from quitting are going just fine. On top of that, my initial investment in vaping will pay for itself by tomorrow. AND, by then, I'll have avoided 100 cigarettes. Feels like it should be more, but that's still great.

Here's to more time without smoking, being there when Cupcake needs me, and saving money... Because that's always... ALWAYS... nice, too.
