The only caveat is that when I used to smoke good old Cowboy cigarettes in the red and white pack i got to the point where climbing a few flights of stairs might land me in the emergency room. I can jog 30 minutes even after vaping no problem. That alone is worth it to me. If I die of some other insidious unknown vaping reason, well I would consider it an improvement.

Yeah I gave away most of my graveyard stuff. Don't like remembering the money uselessly blown

Every store or restaurant I walk into nowadays has a big sticker on the window, NO E-CIGARETTES ALLOWED".
Really makes me steam, but I HATE steam!!
I still stealth vape everywhere, because I know there are NO second hand whatever issues.

I'm going to disagree with you there. No matter how you slice it, you are still puffing on nicotine. And that my friend, is an addictive drug. All the people I know who "quit" smoking and took up vaping are now just as addicted to their vape as they were to the burning butt.
And i for one do NOT want to breathe in your exhaled vaper. Its still full of crap that I dont want to inhale, and there is no denying or getting around that.

Not to mention, I have been in the home of some heavy vape users, and the walls and furniture have this "sticky" feeling to them from vape residue.
Blech! and Yuck!
But thats just my opinion =P

I'm glad you voiced yourself!
I normally don't make vapor you can see, but for you I'm going to get out my 250 watt mod with a .01 ohm quad coil with a mega dripper on it and fill the entire courtyard out front with dense vapor on your behalf. And in about a year when the cloud reaches your part of the world, your going to smell a strong scent of fresh strawberries when there are none around.....
Not to worry though, it will be a non-nicotine blend, I would want to damage your health.....

Yep, thats how it is when you get into a developing technology. When I started it was cartomizers and mods wouldn't fire anything under like 1.3 ohms unless you went mechanical. personally the only things I find relevant still are Kayfun/Russian style and drippers can be used forever if you like em. I am using a Squape right now and I still like it. For me its how fast I can make a full cotton change and dry burn. Griffon is a good tank but a nightmare to load. I never liked the ones with replaceable factory coils. i just got too many duds and they get funky quick especially using all VG juice. Lol maybe I should go back to talking about shaving.

No, I hear you and agree. My quest right now is to find an RTA that will not leak. I have 4 kayfun 5's that leak and 4 kayfun 4's that leak. Plus I've tried a bunch of other's that leaked even worse. I'm a chain vaper so I guess it is the constant heat that causes the problem. Oh carto's, I loved those but it got to a point they were getting so expensive and hard to find.

The all leak because they have to circulate air through the coil and wick fluid at the same time. That works in a perfect environment but if the barometric pressure changes or other fluctuations in outside temperature happen, it will probably leak from the air flow ports. Its a pain but that the technology. Hasn't really changed that much. If you vape, you got a roll of paper towels in your car I bet lol.

Damned barometric pressure!! Who's responsible for that?!!

I got rid of all my old stuff too as it was taking up an entire drawer of space. As far as the sticky, thats because people dont clean. There is 3 vape users in my house and its not sticky here. Glass cleaner, furniture polish, vacuumes. It takes care of the issue. Only people who dont clean regularly have this issue.

Now in my truck and when the temps are cold outside, I get a coating on my windows. I have to wash them every other day on the inside to keep it at bay. I regularly clean the inside of my cab so no problem there.

I'm still wondering about how this vape thing is harmful. Its got to be somehow. Besides the nic put into our bodies as we know thats not good. I've read where people have tested it and say its as bad as smoking and ive read some that say just the opisite. Guess if I live for the next 20 years I'll find out the truth.

Had chest X-Rays done 2 months ago and my doctor laughed refused to believe that I ever touched a cigarette. I smoked a pack of cammy non's every day for 25 years...
