28 days and still trying to buy cigarettes

**Jbarbaro32** · 03-19-2010, 10:27 PM

It has been over a month since I bought my V4L kit and 28 days since I had my last cigarette. I only thought I would try this to cut down. I wanted to be able to vape inside and stay out of the cold. I ended up running out of my smokes and just never bought another pack. BUT everytime I go to the store I automaticlly want to say Marlboro Lights 100's. I have to think about it cause there is still times I would like to smoke. I haven't bought any yet. I have spent a small fortune on carts and juice!
For some reason I have a hard time vaping in the morning. At night it is nonstop. Not sure why. I want to but I cough in the AM. Maybe someone else has a solution.
Thanks

Yeah, I never could vape for the first few hours in the morning. It would just tear my throat up badly. I was going through the same thing as you about 2 months after I started vaping. It just wasn't enough. I went as far as 36-48mg juice at night because that's when I vaped the most. Finally found out it was something else in tobacco I was missing, the alkaloids. I started experimenting with swedish snus and nasal snuff, and now I hardly ever use nicotine at all. Maybe one snus a day, an analog's worth of vape a day, and a pinch of snuff at night.

Good luck with that though. If you want to go that route, I would suggest trying it out now before the PACT Act goes through and the prices go up.

Then again, if e-cigs end up being classified as tobacco products you'll have a hard time getting juice as well as you won't be able to purchase it online unless they decide to tax it separately somehow.

The government is just trying to get us to stay on analogs forever for monetary reasons. It's upsetting, I know, but we just have to deal with it and take it one day at a time. Sorry for the rambling. Good luck on quitting the stinky sticks

I don't have a solution for ya, but I feel the same way at times. All I can say is that old habits are hard to break.

My suggestion on early morning vaping is to get some low nic stuff with no throat hit. Also, I'd suggest getting a humidifier for your bedroom.

Vaping dries you out, and over the course of a night, the added moisture in the air should help with the dry, scratchy throat feeling.

A good flavor with low TH and low nic is easily vapeable in the morning in my opinion.

Mouth inhaling instead of inhaling direct to the lungs eventually got me accustomed to it in the mornings. That, and never liking the taste of cigarettes anyway, I always drank diet soda in the morning with my cigarettes and it coats the throat well for PVs too, so I just kept that habit.
