    I agree. I know some of the e-cig mods do have the software thing going on. That in my opinion is gimmicky. Many have made a hobby out of doing mods and collecting the latest and greatest device. Each to his own though.

    It really isn't any different from Linux (insert any hobby/toy) users who are wanting the latest and greatest and then do their mods to get better performance.

    My computer use has settled into having something that works and lets me accomplish what I need a computer to do. It is the same with e-cigs for me. I am content with what I have.

    Re: Any vapers out there

    I'm a ECF member but hardly active anymore. I am back to vaping since I had a "relapse" a few months ago but I'd been totally off ciggies for a year or so and off the e-cigs for about 6 mos. I don't see how software is any advantage. Get a setup you like, use it and if possible, gradually wean yourself off nic. Although you may be happy vaping for the rest of your life, some are. I'd prefer to break the dependency altogether.

    I have been pretty busy on ECF for a month but already find my activity lessening. Like these forums I know where to go to get answers but do not use for social media very much.

    Me too, but I've gone for the microlite and Portable Charging Case, plus a good quantity of the base liquids for mixing.

    Yes, I can also confirm that vaping does get you off cigs.
    The microlites are an almost perfect replica of a cig, and the hit definitely kills the need.

    The key is being organised.

    I leave one cartomizer slot empty, swap in the empty carts to the left, so I know which are empty.
    Then refill them using the rubber cap, taking about a minute to do 5 carts.

    However, I can see why people go for the tank system, where you fill up the reservoir.

    The cartomizer sponge system does mean that as the sponge empties (fairly quickly) the liquid wicking to the heating element reduces.
    But it's fine for the moment.

    Like the other poster.... I can't get my head around a programmable heating element.

    Re: Any vapers out there

    Isn't quitting cigarettes by using electronic cigarettes kind of not quitting since you are still using the addictive substance just in a much safer method? I'm not going to blame anyone who does it though since nicotine without the smoke is probably as harmless as a cup of coffee.
    Whoever came up with the phrase "There is no such thing as a stupid question" obviously never had the internet.

    But surely, That's the point.
    Quitting cigs is quitting cigs - burning tobacco and inhaling the smoke.... which apparently contains a few thousand different toxic compounds; not to mention the tar build up in the lungs.
    Kind of crazy when talked about in this light, but a reality all the same.

    It may be especially useful to any home programmer that has got used to nicotine fuelled creativity.
    Vaping, in that scenario can be potentially a life saver.

    Don't knock it, cos it works better than I ever thought it would.

    As to maintaining a vice.
    Well, as humans we've got loads.
    At least this one is very cheap (if you buy the base liquids in bulk), and, until we are informed otherwise (just a matter of time ) this one is relatively harmless.

    I honestly believe it is a big win.
