31 years of analogs...
yes, I've come close to lighting my e-cig with the lighter that's been glued to my right hand for years
yes, I keep looking to make sure it's the e-cig when I lay it down after a vape

and
I have a cart filled with vg, distilled water and flavor.... no nic at all- that I can vape to my healthy heart and lungs' content

the rest are filled with a mix that's light on nic juice... vg, dist. water and flavor

btw - anybody like tobacco flavor juice.... check my classified ad - am open to trades too.
Dang - never thought I'd dislike tobacco... vapin' sweet stuff is so much nicer.

thinkin' that morning and evening analog has got to go - soon.
Almost 2 weeks vaping and every puff on an analog makes me wonder WHY I lit it in the first place. hmmm -

If you were a 1 and 1/2 pack smoker what dosage and how many puffs should you be taking ? My husband seems to be off the cigs but now addicted to the juice? Why aren't the ingredients posted.. This stuff is like liquid crack.

not trying to wean myself right now - i am cutting it down because i am vaping so much that i am getting more nico than is comfortable

right now i am indulging so that i make sure i don't go back to an analog not even once - after the baby steps i will hopefully get to where i don't need a constant pacifier - then i want to consider weaning off the nico

so far i probably puffed about a million vape hits and so far it hasn't come close to being as dirty as one single analog puff

so i wouldn't be too concerned about how many puffs or it is being like crack

if you get too much nicotine then you will know it because it will feel like you smoked too many analog cigs at one time - but without the tar and poisons of tobacco

the ecig juice has water and propylene glycol and / or glycerine and optionally nicotine

can't be nearly as bad as analog cigs or crack because if you puffed either of those like you can an ecig - you would croak

Count me in as a chain-vaper too I guess. When I'm at my computer, it's constant. I only have the two batteries, and when both are charged, I alternate between flavors until one battery gets low. then it's on the charger until charged while I vape the other one.

Anyone else get headaches from vaping, by the way? It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes I just stop because i'm getting a headache, even after just a short time.

scottro, I don't get headaches but I have gotten light headed a few times. I cut down on the nicotine dosage and it hasn't happened since. You may just find that the headaches disappear if you go with a slightly lower nicotine dosage.

I vape constantly at the computer too. Especially when reading this forum, lol. It's impossible not to. Especially when everyone is talking about all of the yummy flavors.

One thing you might try is dripping some straight glycerin into the cartridge when you feel like you're getting too much nic. It gives you lots of vapor so you feel like you're "smoking", but it dilutes the nicotine considerably. That's what I do when I've been hitting it a little too hard but still have the need to "do the ritual".

Thumbs up Chain-vape 0 nic + take 12 mg "smoke" breaks

Very similar to my approach.

As indicated in my signature, I am very much a chain-vaper. However, I don't need (or want) a nicotine-induced throat hit every moment. What I enjoy is regularly sucking on a stick and inhaling/exhaling pleasingly flavored 0 mg vapor (PG + VG + H2O + flavor). Typically those flavors are the fruity/deserty type.

Every hour or so (similar to my previous analog cigarette breaks), I vape a ~12 mg concoction (36 mg PG + plain PG + VG + H2O + flavor) to get my nicotine fix and throat hit. Typically those flavors are tobacco and/or nutty.

Pardon me for ignoring everyone else's input. But this is a HUGE thread, idn't it

I chose the 510 with manual battery so I could chew on the thing without accidentally taking a puff. I suppose other man bat units might allow the same thing.
