my old pdoc texted me. we chatted for like an hour. i was telling him bout my life and stuff. i thought he was tired of me bc i texted him on my bday and he said hed reply later cuz he was busy but never did. he said he will never get tired of staying in touch. he is so nice to me and sometimes i dont understand why. hes done SO MUCH for me... he had to stop being my doctor because he paid 25 grand for me to go into that program i was in. i cant even believe that.... it was nice to talk to him. it made me feel better

Oh. I don't plan to stop. The nicotine doesn't turn your teeth yellow, though. That's tar from combustible cigarettes. Ecigs don't do anything bad. The nicotine is a concern only if you have a vascular disease I guess.

i dont want to stop but its taking up a considerable chunk of my money. 40 dollars every 2 weeks for liquid. plus 30 dollars for a 10 pack of replaceable wicks for when they get burnt up by the heat source. or otherwise damaged. or infiltrated by another liquid making them taste bitter. or something.

its just...idk. and im afraid its gonna catch fire. idk. my whole family thinks they are bad for me. now i do too.

Yeah, it's expensive but not more so than smoking was for me. But I would get worried too if the battery was getting too hot etc.

yea i guess your right with the expenses part but i think im spending more money for the ecigs if not the same amount. so im not saving money. maybe i should work on cutting back.

but yea. its not the battery that gets hot. its the wick. because its made of cotton. the cotton soaks up liquid in every ecig out there and battery heats it up. the cotton is the wick. im afraid of the wick catching fire.

The wick can't catch fire unless the tank is completely empty. Even then it won't burst into flames, it will just get a little dry and maybe scorched. Cotton isn't used for all wicks. My current wicks are silica I think (GS Air tank). They can taste off if you let the tank get too empty/dry.

maybe mine isnt cotton either but i have heard some high end ones used cotton. i have a high end one. idk what it uses. i should check.

thank you for the info.

idk how flammable the liquid is. and then take into account the battery like you said. im afraid. because i had an accident with one of my ecigs. the button got pressed in my bag while i was walking in the mall so it was like "vaping" while i was walking and browsing-pretty much going off. and it got EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HOT. i mean hot. i thought my bag was gonna catch on fire. i went to the nearest mall entrance and took it out and took it apart and it had liquid coming out of it. even the battery. liquid had escaped out of the tank into the battery compartment. i was so nervous. im never using that brand again or that ecig. ever. i bought another one that day. i just couldnt believe it. it was a nightmare.

Well yeah that sounds scary. I carry mine with me in my purse too when I have to go out but so far nothing like that has happened. You're supposed to carry it more securely but I don't want to bother with a case or a lanyard. The battery is the only dangerous part though. The tank and liquid won't catch on fire but the battery can vent. But that goes for all electronics, phones, laptops etc.

Me too, I use mine constantly. Well, I hope you can give it up if that's what you want to do, or just use it at home. Just as long as you don't go back to cigarettes because those are really dangerous. My lungs are not improving despite having quit smoking because of the emphysema. It's horrible. 41 years of smoking really killed me.

I'd love it if you prayed for me! Thank you, too, it's because of you I finally looked into ecigs and got off cigarettes. You may have helped me add a few more years to my life.

In less than an hour it's my birthday, I turn 57.

I have this ex. My current boyfriend doesn't like him due to how our relationship ended. He's one of my main supports. My boyfriend said he's uncomfortable with me talking to him but he wouldn't stop me. But I need more than that. I need support in a way that I can see with my two own eyes that he's real. That he cares. That he wants to help me. How do I explain or try to explain to him that since he knows what I go through, he's a really good support system and we support each other to keep on going. Is it worth staying in a relationship where your partner refuses to let you have your support in the way that's most helpful? My ex has a new girlfriend and I think she's adorable. She has problems of her own and just moved in with my ex. How do I approach him with this? I need my support. Me and my current boyfriend have only been dating a little over a month. Barely known each other for 2 months. I dated my ex for almost a year.
