Two words that any one who vapes dislike smoking and cigarettes .I must ask is this what is hurting the safest alliterative to smoking. The only one that has worked for me for just over a year 100% .maybe it would be a dam good idea to use them more often.For myself who just over a year ago was going through 60 cigarettes a day .that and only that should be my main concern.now let me get this out front right now that is the only reason I see for getting a ecig … not for using only in places where smoking is band and light up as soon as I am where I can smoke again . Or to try and push for the right to vape where smoking is band. I have been run off other webb sites for these thoughts now this is my story 18 months ago getting ready for more cancer treatment no more cutting it off my face we going get radiation .my cancers is sheetin spreading fast and odds still not in my favor it can be stopped or slowed down . Plus I got a list of other things wrong that got me 100% disabled and 3 doctors telling me I need to stop smoking all this pops up at a time when I am trying to get my life back together see on top of everything else I am a drunk who has not at the time had a drink in 18 months .So fast forward all my doctors say they don’t care what I am doing don’t stop I ant had no drinky poo or any dope in just over 36 months and have not had any stinky poos or grabbed any one by the throat sorta funny looking back about a year ago to day burnt-out my first atomizer walked in to a B M told the man working the counter I needed help get this thing working before I killed someone I was just expression my thoughts he laughed and said I was in the Wright place .fixed me up with pack of atomizer showed me how to install one I was ready to buy a case of them he also recommend some E juice 30 mil 24 nic MBV tobacco flavor and 5 atomizer should last me a few days .A lot has changed since that day .but one thing has not I would not know what would happen if someone makes it to were I can not get my supplies to vape I have spares on top of spares learned how to DIY my juice and repair my mods I dislike atomizer occ heads to this day and got to have fun at a cloud compilation did not make past first round but second one made it to 4 not bad for some old man who should be dead just got blood work done last week ever thing looks good doc was amazed when I told him I have not done any breathing treatment other than my ecig he said don’t stop see I was doing BT every morning till a month in to not smoking that’s what my ecig means to me
We need to get our doctors to summit thier opinions to our state reps in order to continue to vape.
Almost forgot CONGATS on the great job!
Thank you my hole point to all of this I see us doing a lot of damage to are self. I will be more than happy to turn my medical records over to anyone if there is even a chance it will help. what has got me going is a flyer I picked up at a medical facilitie .I am going to post as soon as I get to my PC I have been up all night stewing over it . Wait to you see it
That’s great to hear brother!!
Vaping can help one to make fantastic changes, cut bad habits and get improved life quality.
I smoked 40-60 Marlboro’s a day, drank a case of beer and smoked lot’s of dope every day for nearly 20 years. And one day I decided that it was now or never… Went down to the b&m and picked up evic vt kit and threw the beer and pack of smokes in the trash… That was 4 months ago yesterday 
way to go Tom trust me when i say you are not alone
this is what got my attention . i have already contact them and they are suppose to have a expert call me back with facts on how e cigarettes are not a good alternative for me. only after they offered me a patch and i slammed back its got nicotine in it are these people so misinformed that they be leave this.
or could it be that if cigarettes become a thing of the past it would most likely affect these still pending law suites that’s a shit pile of money.

CONGRATS @lost_in_vape
I read so many stories like this and my own included. Sadly Vaping is fighting a battle that comes down to big money and big political influence and sadly the big tobacco and big pharmaceutical company’s have that battle all wrapped up.
I believe the vaping industry as we know it today in the USA is at serious risk. That is why I now only use re-buildable Tanks and Drippers.
The wire we use for coils will remain available
Cotton ain’t going away
Batteries such as 18650’s will be here
DIY e-liquid will be able to continue
Nicotine—now this one I would not bet the farm on
I would how ever bet the farm on Big Tobacco’s rapid FDA approval for there little disposable cig-a-like’s
All I can tell you is I am getting enough hardware together that I will continue to do what I am doing now for a very long time. I am also drastically cutting my nicotine use and should be at 0mg by the first of the year.
( I want it to be by my choice)
I act on sending emails and making phone calls to politicians every time CASSA sends me a notice.
I have asked my doctor about sharing my story with the medical community but sadly getting a doctor to support un-proven science is nearly impossible. Take into account that big pharmaceutical company’s are also armed with big money and political influence and have big time pull with our doctors and we are up against a mighty big brick wall.
You mention breathing treatments and I would like to use that as the example. My doctor is all good with the fact I no longer need my breathing treatments but I am sure the pharmaceutical company would rather not lose me as a customer just as I am sure the tobacco company did not want to lose my business but did.
Until all of the big money folks find a piece of the pie in the vaping industry or the vaping industry manages to acquire a big enough bank account to fight them I think we are screwed.
Now that all that is off my chest again CONGRATS @lost_in_vape
