I'm LOVING me some scented candles too now that I can really smell them

.

I'm starting to be able to breathe better. I don't feel sick and have that yuck feeling in the mornings from smoking too many cigs the night before. I just feel overall more healthy

. My body isn't cursing me for stuffing 2 packs worth of cigarette smoke down it each day.

There is a product called www.petzlife.com that is a "natural" treatment for breaking down tartar & does wonders for bad breath! We use it on our dogs and it works great.. just a couple of sprays in the mouth with or without brushing.

i wish i could say that. well, in a way, I can. I feel more awake when I'm awake but I sleep an awful lot now. I was used to getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep and now I've been sleeping the recommended 6-8. I guess that's a good thing but I feel like I'm sleeping my life away...

I'm kind of like you.. When I sleep.. I want to sleep now.. but only after a few tosses and turns throughout the night.. I wake up a couple of times.. but then after that I am out and don't want to get up when I have to take my son to school... Then I nap for a couple of hours around noon.. and then I sleep good and don't want to wake up...

Thank goodness my wife and I work from home..lol This maybe from going back to school and not having to worry when to get up while they were out on vacation... not sure will keep it updated.. it's only their 3rd day back.. so to soon to really tell.. But I do kind of feel more tired than normal..

I know what you guys mean about sleeping more. It's always been my biggest side effect from quitting analogs and taking in lower doses of nicotine as with patches and inhaler. I believe it's our bodies adjusting to those lower doses. And yes, I do think we get less vaping than analogs, (have read here that it's 1/9 th of regular cigs.) unless we get a mouthfull of liquid. At any rate, I think we'll get through it and be much better for it in the long run.

Hang in there and focus on the positive!

I'm not convinced that's true, it doesn't make sense with the measurements for one thing. Not everything on the internet is accurate

I have less of a cough but more disturbed dreams, overall I feel better.

Thanks Kate, I know that not all that is stated here is gospel, (yuk yuk) do you think the excessive sleepiness could be our withdrawls from other carsenigens (sp) in analogs? Personally, I've always thought it to be from lack of nicotine stimulation.

Hi Nitewriter, I'm not sure why some folk are more fatigued, I read that quitting smoking causes that and suspect it's the chemicals but can't say for sure.

It should pass in a few weeks or months as detoxification proceeds by the sounds of things.

Nitewriter: All sources of nicotine in vapor come from the same researcher, Dr. Murray Laugesen of Health New Zealand. On a home page of that organization's Web site, he says each inhalation of vapor provides half the nicotine of a cigarette puff. In his initial report from his clinical trial, he says each inhalation is one-fifth that of a cigarette. In an email to the Australians on their ban, he now says it is 9%.

I made an error in saying one-ninth. IT IS LESS than one-ninth, according to his latest post. Now, you can believe whichever figure you want, and Kate can believe whatever figure she wants. But I'm sourcing it for you.

Whichever it is, it isn't equal to a cigarette. In my experience, not even close!

There seem to be no facts, no blood tests for absorption, no consistent estimates, just opinions. Opinions can be different, everyone has to take responsibility for their own research and decisions.

There are too many overdose stories for us to be getting less nicotine in my opinion. We can take more mg with higher pH.

The incredible shrinking Nic hit!

Bearing in mind that you can use a wide variety of strength e-liquids, the result is dependant on the liquid used, so it's worthless as a generalization.
