    I started with a vuse type, but now I use an eleaf and atlantis tank. It worked for my boyfriend and I. Best decision we ever made. been smoke free for going on 2 years.

    I started smoking at a young age. Quit once for about 4 to 5 months back in the 70’s. Yet about two years ago I got a bad lung infection and I quit smoking. Wow, during that time I was very bad, took me about 3 months to get over it. That was much worse than when I had Pneumonia about 4 to 5 years back.

    A few months later I went to e-cig, Blu, but they cost a lot. After about two months I went to the vaping. Its better than smoking, yet its still not good for us.

    There was a question posted about health risks that appears to have been deleted. Maybe it was a spammer? Who knows.

    Of course anything that isn't just breathing clean air comes with risks. Do your own research. There are more extensive sources of vaping information besides a trucking forum. Perhaps a vaping forum? The link takes you to a global discussion, that is probably the most complete and longest running one on the topic in my opinion.

    In a nutshell, consuming anything containing nicotine creates a health risk. Improper use of some vaping hardware (batteries, atomizers, etc) can create a hazard. That said, it's not rocket surgery and a lot less unhealthy than breathing in smoke from burning tobacco. Do some reading and learning, maybe even visit a store not at a truck stop and get some instruction.

    Thanks for your thoughtful contribution to this discussion.

    I went from ecigs to vaping right after I started this thread and haven't smoked since .
    I don't wake up gagging and hacking anymore , my blood pressure is perfect and I have an incredible sence of smell now .
    Took the money I saved not smoking and bought a nice new car.

    I don't see how that has anything to do with the topic. Maybe a statement of how dependent you are on government to make your health decisions for you? Not that it's a newsflash, but you should look into the money flow involved in any government regulation and see just how little your health matters in the process.

    Yes. Again struggling to see a point in all that.

    That's what I miss, the sense of smell, unless I'm in CA.. CA is full of bad smells that I'm glad I don't fully smell. Running out west with all the sedge brush and cedar trees, especially after a rain. :( I can't smell the place with Mexican food before I get there, i need to see the sign.

    I need to study up on vaping.
    Are most or any mods interchange, or chambers I'm not sure. I own one but know nothing about it. It's a few years older.
    What are good mod settings?

    Are most the juices now made without that bad popcorn lung chemical?
