I was in Russia for the summer and this is the big thing for smokers over there right now. My wife’s uncle gave up regular cigarettes for this (to resolve a nasty cough) and the results seem very good.
I use Duke e-liquid in it because the riptide tobacco flavor pods taste like dirt. I live on a dirt road so I know what dirt tastes like. The Duke tobacco flavor is much better and I get a big bottle for $22. I figured out how to get the Riptide pods open and I'm able to fill them a dozen times before the coils burn out. The pods are pretty cheap to begin with @ $4.50 - I've tried every flavor but the cream. Not into any of the fruit or candy flavors. It would be nice to not dump the contents of a brand new pod.
I've got a bottle of 16mg Duke and another 3mg. When the 16mg liquid level went down to about 80%, I topped it off with 3mg. I'm going to keep repeating that and they do make a 0mg but I think when I get down to straight 3mg, I'll just quit.
No more morning hacking or chest tightness. Not out of breath as easy. Took my first puff when I was 14 and was a regular smoker by 16. I'm 54 now and just started with the vape about a month ago.
Are kids doing stupid things with vaping? Yes. Kids do stupid things, like me starting smoking when I was 14-16. Blaming it on one brand name when there's many of them, just seemed suspicious to me. So the MSM is selling out to Phillip Morris now eh?
