I quit smoking while i work

[Lub]

Mer, if this isn't cool, please delete. and accept my apology.

But I searched, couldn't find, and feel this to be a valid topic. I recently stopped smoking the tobacco while i work. It was hard at first, but now, I don't know how i got where I am while doing it the whole time. I now only do it after working, and especially only if my day of work was as successful as I planned. I know of people in prodo shops that have the same mindset, but I also know of big shot ballers with the opposite mindset. Obviously, we are all different, but is anyone else with me on this one? Or do you all try to "enjoy what you do?" I would just do too much dumb shit like after making a heady tetris for a bowl I'd pop and push the bowl only to realize it was still on a blowtube, so i'd have to do some awkward ass cold seals and end up with shoddy stuff. I know for a fact i've been more productive since. Any input is welcome, but we are onlyyyyy talking about tobacco.

I quit smoking tobacco in November, successfully :D
But as for smoking the tobacco at work, I guess it would be variable to the individual, and whether or not performance was affected would also be dynamic based upon an individuals tolerances and the potency of said legal smoking substances.... Personally, I heavily smoked the tobacco when i was younger, and did great in school whilst picking up many coordination intensive hobbies such as sleight of hand, juggling and the playing of different stringed and keyed instruments.... I don't feel that there was a negative impact. I also have been told that I am a truly unique (not eunuch) person, so I'm sure that YMMV.

i find its the beer that fucks me up. like last night, i was on the tobbacco heavily as usual, and but the beer overloaded me i think and i screwed up. cold welded a new blow tube onto a 4 piece reball i was gonnna try and bowtie i had worked on for about 2-3 hours, and well, it all cracked. i was totally blaming it on my own stupidity, but i tried to blame the beer too :D

Beer & Tobaccy fuck me up so badly infact I couldn't think about being in front of a torch,, Ill hoof tobaccy all day long and its not til the evening and im feet up chillin when it catches up so to speak.

Lets be honest Kut you dont smoke 'normal' strength tobacco either!

[RamblezMarblez]

One's too many, and a thousand is never enough......

[ALIEN!]

the beer fucks me up. The tobacco clears my mind, steady's my hand, makes me more creative and makes the anti-motivation trolls in my head go away. Occasionally it sticks my hand where it shouldn't go and I get burned, but I like all my scars, and im bound to get burnt on occasion anyways. I should probly shut up now as its been a while since I had a bad burn and I don't wanna go and jinx myself. Cigarettes make me shakey though. Gotta quit cigs so bad....

[Ben 'Spice' Crowley]

I smoke from sun up to sun down

I can't torch wtihout my fix lol. I have anxiety issues though and they are amplified when I don;t got my smoke

I've been using a e cigarette so no smoking for me. But I still get the nicotine, which I've been lowering the levels of. If i do smoke a cigarette i get a buzz.

[faded]

it's the crack that really brings out my creativity.

good luck man! I used one for 2 months then fell off the wagon and back into a pile of manuals.

Yep. I've quit the cigarettes with a personal vaporizer (e-cig). You can get a starter kit for less than a carton of smokes online. www.cignot.com

But I know what we're talking about here. I prefer to smoke before work and every couple to few hours.

[Lub]

I also quit cigarettes while I was taking my 11 day tolerance break. I thought it would be impossible, but I actually only want them when I'm smoking the legal herbs. Pogo, very cool, i did tons of magic/sleight of hand/juggling up until a few years ago. I've always loved having great hand coordination. Sativa, that's chillin, like i said we are all different. But have you ever sincerely tried to work a whole day without it, just tried to keep going? I like beer, but my dad and brother homebrew so I have high standards. wont drink that canned water shit they call budlight. I never torch while drunk really. HMK, you are an exception to the rule ha. I want an e-cig, but I'd rather just quit 100% (I'm still smoking at least half a cig a day....I put em out and re light em like a bummm)

Damn dude, I totally feel ya! I worked for 6 hours on a piece on Cinco de Mayo, telling myself I'd stop when I hurt myself (figuring it was inevitable). Well, I shoulda stopped when I puked in the garbage can next to my torch..... :bangHead: Nope, kept drinking and torching till I totally fucked up what I was working on and ended up throwing it across the garage...

Tobacco, on the other hand, keeps me going. I get all sorts of creative when I'm enjoying a nice smoke and it doesn't affect my ability at all. Shit, I think afer all these years torching there's a good amount of "muscle memory" stored. That's just me, we're all diff. If laying off the smoking while working helps ya, more power to you!

[turtleglass]

TOBACCO affects every one diff... i know people that can't do shit and I know lots of people like me who smoke (Highest Quality Only) from time they wake up till they go to bed!!!!! To each there own. I personally Think It keeps me creative, calm and keeps me goin during those long nights of work. Like make 10 spoons, take a quick 5 min smoke as reward for completing my task. Again everyone is diff and to each there own. But if you cant do shit right cuz you smoked and you f'in up important shit you gotta be responsible and think about your $ and whats important. And maybe make a change if needed.

So far so good. I've tried a bunch of models and burned out a crapload of atomizers. Which is kinda frustrating but still costs less than smoking. There is a place about 20 minutes from here that makes their own e-liquid. They have like 20 flavors and a normal cigarette tastes like crap compared to their tobacco or smoke flavor. Plus the occasional maple flavor kicks ass. I guess if i only had the china brand e-liquid i probably would still be smoking.

I started out working without smoking, then I just said fuck this shit and got tired of the frustration that comes with teaching your self this stuff, so I smoked it all away and took off on a magical journey thats gotten me here and clear.

What model are you using? I went from a 510 to a Janty Ego. Which uses the 510 atomizer and cartridge, but with a bigger battery and a cone that screws onto the battery and tapers over the atomizer to the cart. It tightens the draw and lets the atty get hotter.

I also use a 5v box mod. It's just a battery box that takes 2 14500 3.6v 'AA' sized batteries. Runs at 5v under load and really gives good vapor and great throat hit.

You should try www.NHaler.com for juice. His Spicebacco and Cigarillo are fantastic. And go here for any and all e-cig info: www.e-cigarette-forum.com

I use a basic joy 510. The atomizers burn out like crazy on me. I have better luck with the e-health which is kinda generic but works well. I also have a pure smoke which sux and doesn't hold a charge. But the pure smoke atomizer fits on e the e-health and works way better. Also have a No. 7 but i burnt out the two atomizers that came with it and haven't gotten new ones for it yet.

[BlueLilyStudio]

you can take Vegetable Glycerin and make your own e-smokable mixture with whatever you want as tincture ingredients including your own tobacco. A friend of mine has been working on it for a while and quite enjoys it being able to curb his cravings even in the most public of situations.

Make sure to keep the atty moist/wet. Blowing atties is mainly because they're dry.

yep. I use VG and 'tincture' made from pure grain alcohol and you know.... make it with 0 nicotine and it's really nice.

[chayes]

a few have completely blown and do nothing. The rest seem to just stop producing a good vapor after a few days and cleaning em doesn't seem to help. I should add i've been using the knock off 510 attys which are the only ones they had in stock. I'm gonna swing by there today and pick up some of the real ones, since they just got a shipment in. Maybe i'll have better luck. If not i may think of changing e-liquid brands and see if that may have been my problem.

[Shatner]

you can get genuine Joye atties at www.electronic-ash.com for 6.99 a piece. And they're genuine. And yeah, it makes a difference whether you're using the knock off or genuine Joye.

Good luck to you.
