Next time it won't be because your vape broke. Normally I'd agree with you, but it just doesn't interest me at all anymore, I can go weeks without even thinking of having a smoke and then have one after dinner one night, then not touching them for weeks afterwards. I would say I've been like that for at least three years now. I didn't touch fags for about a year when I finally quit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to visit a friend earlier in the week, and my vape broke in the car, so I grabbed 20 fags from a petrol station. That was Tuesday night, I had two cigarettes (one before meeting said friend, and one afterwards), still 18 left in the packet. Couldn't afford to smoke full time again. I'm similar, been in the vape for near two years, decided I fancied smoking at TRNSMT this year and must've had about 20 a day but haven't even thought of having one since Edited December 10, 2021 by Bert Raccoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I used to smoke 20 a day and have been on a vape for a few years. One of the low powered vape-kits does me fine - no need to be blowing massive clouds. Smoking is something I wish I had never started. I can't even stand the smell of it now.

Bairnardo Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I neither smoke or vape, but seeing the stuff folk put in vapes referred to as "e-liquid" does my fucking head in. Also, I am fairly sure it gives you popcorn lung and looks about 1 billion times less cool as the Virginia Killing Sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you just get a new vape? You were choking for a cig, weren't you! 8 minutes ago, RawB93 said: Concerning amount of serial vapists in here. I vape a lot! I stopped smoking about 5 years ago, I was on 20 to 30 a day, thank god I stopped when I did because prices have just rocketed in that time. Need to quit the vape now because I am constantly at it. Better than smoking though. Pretty sure I still have a packet of Mayfair in the glove box, in the blue packaging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I had a mat with roads on it and some small metal cars of varying colours. I got a drum kit off my dads Kensitas coupons, I vaguely remember there being a catalogue to choose from. smoked around 45 rollies a day, gave up 3 1/2 years ago.

Started on cigarillos as a stress thing in 2020, then a few months back went on to those disposable vapes. Bought a few 88 refillable pens but they're shite and I cant get a flavour off them. Anyone tried the Vaperesso mini refiallble vape? No argument there... 9 hours ago, heedthebaa said: smoked around 45 rollies a day, gave up 3 1/2 years ago. Arctic cherry vape is the way to go 45 roll ups sounds a lot but in my exprience about 3 roll ups = a "normal cigarette" so around the 15 a day mark. I was probably something similar although as we couldn't smoke at work and I didn't smoke in the house any more it might have been less.
