Analog versus Digital and mind set.

[Vogo]

I have no clue where to post this. I started about my fairly new experience with TW and Tornado-T and ended with my smokers feelings. I’m not sure if anybody interested, but I would like to know about your nicotine addiction feelings and how easy it was/was-not to change from analog to electronic. I just now found how addicted to nicotine I am and the cigarette is not so important. And yes, from this point of view it is not surprise the change was very easy for me.
I have my Tornado-T for 60 days today. I am not cycling the atomizers. Using one only. I am doing just basic maintenance, blowing from bought sides after each third – fourth tank replacement. No dry burn, no washing in vinegar with soda, no washing in coke, no ultrasonic bath…., just being nice to it. Worked PERFECT until today. Died on me just a minute ago. No resuscitation possible. No smoke, no worming up. Total termination. Well the TW page says 14 to 60 days. Very exact number in my case. I plan to do autopsy of the body later. I have change to the other atomizer from the box and vaping right now. Going to buy two spare tomorrow morning.

Well, why sharing this?
 Firstly to let you know YES the 60 days is real number and can be probably more after using with some more experience.
Secondly and probably more important is to inform you that I have exactly the same (or probably even worse) feeling as if the last cigarette in a pack and no chance to buy next until morning. I hope that those who smoked 40 analog a day for 30 years (yes, I have been so bad) understand what I try to explain. Just keep more than one spare!!! Additional jitterbugs are coming from fear to turn back to analog if electronic not available. Yes I know the one I have now will probably stay next 60 days, but 30 years times 40 analogs does its job inside the mind. I will buy a pack of 5 spare atomizers tomorrow!!!!

I'm very addicted to nicotine. That said, it was still easy for me to switch. I did it for reasons other than me. I actually like the way I can control my nic intake. I haven't blown an atty yet. One is over 6 months old and still kicking nicely. Expertees definitely helps with the life. When you get a hang of what your doing they seem to last much longer.
Like you I fear running out. I have a 2 year supply of everything!

The first rule of vapeing       have spare everything’s

The second rule                   have extra spare everything’s

Once you build up a reserve supply you can relax in the knowledge that the stinky’s cant come back to haunt you.
I have items that I bought but don’t like but they make a good safety net for if I ever run out of vapeing supply’s

Cyborg you forgot rule number 3


It's the most important rule of them all when you go 100% digital.



Rule 3
Be sure to have back ups of your backups.

I have seen a bad battery kill two chargers.. And one charger kill multiple batteries. Some here have seen a bad atomiser kill a couple of batteries. By the time you figure what is the cause it's too late.


Be prepared

Thank Darth
My Rule Book is being updated immediately

Yep, lesson learned (hard way as always). Going to shop today and starting to make a Rule Book of mine. First three bullets are known, now.
It really scares me to hear the BAD battery can burn few atomizers and even other way.    I have to stick to the rule number 3. I am serious!

Just FYI, I've never had an atomiser just "go" on me.  I've had them deteriorate over time to the point that it's like sucking a McDonalds milkshake through a straw, but never just die.  I have however had multiple batteries die on me.  Just for kicks, check the battery connection to the atomiser.  Sometimes gunk gets on the connection, and stops the atomiser from working.

It’s the other way round for me Casion
Never had a battery die a death on me but it has happened with attys.
