  • I started in college. Vaped for around 8 years like constantly. Once you’re really addicted your body tells you you’re getting pleasure from vaping, but really you’re just temporarily setting back how bad it feels to not vape. You’re literally having a miniature panic attack every time you crave it and stopping it by doing it.

    Been clean for a year now. My overall stress level is WAY lower than while vaping. Felt that after a few months in a big way. I’ve also got high blood pressure. I ran out of my prescription blood pressure meds the same day I quit. A month later when I went to the doctor my BP was significantly lower than when I was on them, so literally quitting did more for my BP than prescription meds.

    I sleep a lot better now too. Also, not having to constantly sneak away, or get grumpy on a plane, etc. Also also, to do with the blood pressure, but as a dude sexual performance is notably better.

    Don’t start vaping.


  • I know I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I kinda agree.

    I paid $60 for games back when a bottle of coke in a vending machine was 25 cents. Now I regularly see sodas in vending machines at $1.50 but games are still $60? Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful, but when you have a 0% price increase over a period of time where inflation increases by 150%+ everywhere else, it’s hardly surprising the companies are looking for new ways to monetize.
