How many people here who chain vape like I do actually feel better than when they smoked analogs? I certainly do, but I am at the point where I think vaping is still having an effect on my well-being. My lungs don't hurt anymore, and I don't cough very much anymore. But I do feel a bit "down" more than I'd like. Considering how heavily I've been vaping, I certainly think if it were analogs, I'd be dead.

I'm the same way, I'm always puffing on an e cig. I guess it's just one of those things. I've been mixing low nic juice with no nic juice to get "very low" nic juice. That way I don't get a headache or anything. I tended to chain smoke analogs at the same times (sitting on the computer, driving, watching TV) so I figure I'm still better off, and I do feel better.

My name is Karen and I chain vapor........

Everyone is addicted to something. I'm just glad that vaping has no tar or analog poison, and NO calories. How lucky can you get?

I'm guilty as well. I'm new, and I only have 3 batteries and 2 chargers, so when they all go out, it's very hard to find something else to occupy my time until they recharge.

Confetti, as a fellow chain vapor I must admit the battery recharging gets to be a hassle. I have 3 batteries and 1 charger and it seemed like there was always one battery charging, one waiting to be charge and one in use. Some days, with a 4 hour recharge time, there came a point where I was powerless due to the backlog. What I finally did was get a USB Pass Through along with a home and car USB power source. Now my battery usage is rather limited so I always have a fresh one available when I'm away from power sources.

Good idea! Now, I just have to get some extra cash together and place another order.

I don't know. Since I normally chain my real cigarettes down and can tell when I've had too many, I don't think I'm od'ing with the e-cig even though I do feel like I'm puffing on it all the time! It's the opposite for me I think-I feel like I'm not getting enough nicotine, and I have to supplement with the real thing. I've only been using this thing now though since yesterday. My hubby says I either need to return the darn thing or figure it out. Maybe we are not getting as much nicotine with the e-cig as what is in the "real" thing. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? It seems like when the unit is fully charged and I have a fresh cartridge in, I get maybe 5 "good" drags and it goes down hill from there. I feel like I have to suck on this thing 'til my head caves in to get a good, satisfying drag like I would get from the real thing. I'm just thinking maybe my "epuffer" model is a piece of crap. Either way, yeah, I am trying to puff on this thing quite frequently because I don't feel like I'm getting enough nicotine. I have a "high" level nic cartridge in right now and I normally smoke "lights" for the real thing. If I could get good, consistent drags, maybe that would help? And maybe a "shut-off" feature like "BananaDoc" suggested would help.

I was using a 401 for the past 4 weeks with 18mg juice and wasnt getting getting good hit or satisfaction. I got 36mg juice a couple days ago and that definitely helped. More hit and satisfaction but vapor sucked and draw was just a bit too hard for my taste.

I just got my dura-c today and combining that with the 36mg... holy crap! It's kungfu is strong! I plan on vaping low to no nic most of the time til i feel a strong craving then drip a couple drops of the 36mg... BANG!

Ps- keep in mind i was smoking 1.5 pks/day of marl red 100's and inhaling deeply for over 30 years. Those of you who are light smokers should be careful about the super strengths for obvious OD reasons. I do believe that spiking your nic levels and using low levels for "boredom" vaping is the way to go.

I agree with having different strengths on hand for crisis.
