Pat on the back for quitting, but trying to quit a drug with more of said drug? Glad the easy way worked for you. I'm sure you realized how silly of a means vaping is for quitting smoking with that book. I have some crack to help you get off your coke habit....
That being said, nothing you do is funny or cute. You just make people uncomfortable and then ask other people you make feel uncomfortable to observe your cycle. There's got to be another way to fill that hole.
I think general consensus is, if you REALLY need to post here, and it REALLY makes you feel better, just put them in one post. It's a pretty simple request. That way, we only need to push 1 thread off page.
ILF is hardly moderated, we aren't the type to bitch to admins/mods to clean up the forum. That means we leave quite a bit of room for members (you) to be cool enough to either try to integrate and get real about how much you are alienating yourself with shit posts or to just walk away and find some reddit pedal crowd to circle jerk in about how awesome of a troll you are or whatever it is you are after.
Come on dude, be "super cool" and take 15 mins to edit all your video posts into 1 thread, or just stop coming here if you are only looking to take up space and not give anything of value.

Nothing is funny or cute? What can we do to make it better and more appealing for next time?

I quit smoking by dipping.
Then I quit dipping by eating sunflower seeds non stop for a few days until the skin on the inside of my mouth started peeling off. Good times.

I think you quit when you quit, not when you started/switched to dipping. That's when you started a new process to obtain nicotene to pursue quitting. That's all just time/physics semantics though
I'd be extremely curious of any research that indicates that partaking in an addiction helps curb the addiction. Alternative nictotene formats as a way to suit smoking has got to be one of the biggest rackets of all time, oh and tobacco...

Yeah, that's interesting. I wasn't arguing your point, just sharing my experience.
Personally, I started smoking when I got a job in the service industry. It was something to do to relax on a break, from that point it became a thing I did on my own for a few years whenever I was bored or drank. I started dipping when I quit smoking, but I did deep breathing exercises to help quit the compulsion to smoke as a means of relaxation. Dipping coincided to my taking a job as a contractor, and was something I did while I was outside all day every day for a few years. The habit was almost like something to do while I was doing something else. Like looking at your phone while watching Netflix. Coincidentally, I also dipped when I played video games, which was all the freaking time at that point -- too tired to go out and do anything social, so just sat at home, dipped and played Halo.
Anyway, addictions are weird things. Fin.
Also, I smoke a pipe a few times a month now, so maybe I never even quit.

Thanks for the response, I am certain ly not trying to belittle your experience or anything like that, just trying to spread a mentality that gives power to the individual and not the substance or addiction. With power comes the responsibility though
I think those circumstances are a similar genesis to most of us, as to ho that behavior starts, can certainly relate.
I'm by no means anti drug/alcohol(although the tobacco lobby is exceptionally cruel), but without the proper mind set when using controlling substances, one can find them self in a deep dark well with the addiction being given the power to hold the rope, so to speak.

Condition? Billy told them he was mostly into the colors and size of the pedals before they started shooting. Billy's primary adjectives are cool, very cool, sick and awesome. Were you hoping for more?
Yeah, I mean.. more is more. You're the youtuber, aren't you supposed to know how to clickbait? I don't need a long video with a bland dude telling me or asking others about colors and sizes and stuff, in the most basic terms, like how you would talk to a small child. I will watch something like HowToBasic if that's the mood I'm in.

I would love to see Billy Cardigan realize the error of his ways in his wild youth, and grow up and finally become William Sportcoat.

It’s kind of like Borat but for gear/pedals. Good stuff.

I stopped smoking almost 9 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I tried an e-cigarette once and didn't dig it. I'm kind of glad I didn't though because I've read a lot of negative things about it that lead me to believe it will be just as bad as cigarettes. I mean, I guess you could smoke weed from from a vaporizer. That's totes not bad for you.
