Hey there, my dear fellow Reonauts. There's something I have not shared with you, and I did share it on the New Members forum back when I joined but really didn't want the thread out there. If you went to the Vaper Profile thread by SXD you might have seen this:
It's true, I am a non smoker. vaping to me is a hobby that I became passionate about. When I became involved in the local B&M stores, I realized I loved getting people off analogs, explaining them the wonderful world of vaping and my favorite, cleaning their brains of what the T.V tells them about e-cigs being as bad as analogs and recently someone mentioned that one eGo blew up in a person's face. (Those kind of people are like brainwashed zombies that won't listen to reason, it's annoying as hell).
Before going any further, I know that vaping long-term effects are not known yet. By common sense vaping should be a hell of a lot healthier than analogs, but still nothing concrete except recent studies posted in CASAA with quite extensive references and detail content that suggest they are pretty harmless. Now I didn't start vaping because I thought it was cool, or because I wanted to get hooked to nicotine. I've mentioned this a thousand times, I'm a flavor nut. Vaping is relaxing and delicious, and a hobby and a way to save millions of lives. With that being said, and this is very important, when it comes to any surveys, call to actions or anything related to help prevent a ban or defend vaping, I'll sometimes say I was a smoker. Why? Well, we all know the FDA, we all know what's going on, why the tobacco companies are moving earth and heaven to get these things regulated and banned. Telling them that I was a non smoker, regardless of saying for example "Vaping saved me from ever touching an analog", I know for a fact they'll twist my words and use it against vaping. So in order to protect this industry most of the time I declare myself as an ex-smoker.
Right now I'm vaping nearly 6 mL a day, and also highly due to vaping at 28 watts juice consumption is through the roof. However, over 50% of the time (and I'm working on getting this to 75% of the time) I do nose hits without inhaling. I take a hit, and slowly exhale it through the nose without ever inhaling it. Depending on flavor % and the flavor itself, it gives me a wonderful taste and the slower I exhale it through the nose the smoother and richer the flavor. About nicotine, there has been a couple of times I've vaped 4mg, and in the beginning where I was limited by whatever the local B&M stores had, 6mg. I did not enjoy the throat hit, at all. I'm almost exclusively a 0 nic vaper. When I had both 0 and 4mg I found myself vaping the 0 nic a lot more than the 4mg nic juice. On the stands at the B&M where all the samples are, usually they are 12/18mg. I couldn't stand it even on a cheap clearo/eGo. To me, flavor is completely hindered, throat/nose hit is terrible. That of course is because I'm a non smoker, so I don't have that fondness for throat hit or a nic fix. I also like to do a lot of nose hits without inhaling because, since it's still fairly new (and this only applies to non smokers since to us this isn't a healthier alternative but something we really don't need to do. Vaping will most likely in the future be proven to be 100 times healthier than smoking, but to non smokers it's a different angle.) I don't want to be pulling 6 ml/day to my lungs. Also I never ever do a lung hit nor do I take the vapor to the mouth and then inhale it. When I don't do a nose hit, I take the vapor to the back of my throat and immediately out. So minimal vapor is taken to my lungs. I haven't felt bad, sick, cough, anything at all in the 2 months since I started vaping. I'm also looking to vape mostly organic flavors.
Sometimes people like me are seen as a danger to the industry. I won't disagree with that, given that these guys will take anything to twist it in their favor. However, when I'm helping people at the local B&M, the fact that I'm a non smoker vaping, gives them confidence about its safety. They see me with that bad ayuss REO blowing clouds, I tell them everything about vaping and they feel confident and I like that, I like being able to get people off analogs unto a much healthier alternative. If I ever had the chance to work for this industry I'd take it in a heartbeat (and I'm working towards that).
So there you have it. Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading it (if you were crazy enough to do so
)
