Just blew most of my ecig savings over analogues.

Apparantly, I just can't be satisfied. The woman who smoked the same brand cigarettes for nearly 20 years, yes I was a very early smoker, and I can't just stick to one thing with vaping. And maybe thats the problem, it isn't what I really want. Some days I want a "real" cigarette so badly I could weep tears of frustration and rage. My original premise was to avoid tobacco flavors because I had really bad experiences in the past and also because it would distance me from what was. Well I have given that up with a vengeance, and ordered a ton of stuff I will probably never use up. I ordered from both liberty flights and one stop diy, namely every single flavor art tobacco they have as well as oak wood and mts. And flavor apprentice coffee clear, cream and chocolate because I am going to attempt to create a coffee that doesn't gunk up my equipment. It also became a rather expensive order because I discovered I really love luer lock bottles. So I bought enough to do one of each of the tobaccos. They are one ounce bottles. So I figure I will mix up 15 ml of each at 2% concentration regardless of recommendations (because obviously I am neurotic, what other kind of person would attempt 16 flavors at once) let steep for a week or two, test then adjust with more flavor or unflavored to dilute or mts and/or oak wood as needs may seem. Hopefully I can find at least a few things I will like, then I can just double the recipe. I suppose I can pay the rest forward, or sell it, because that many bottles at .6 ml at a time comes out to an awful lot of servings of ejuice. I probably should have done some math ahead of time. But maybe I will be that crazy person who likes their tobacco at 10%. I am kind of in the same boat with the coffee, but I am more willing to vape a bad coffee, or turn it into tiramisu, than I am to part with or force vape a bad tobacco.

If I am a conscientious vaper I will remember to log my recipe changes and notes in this blog. Lets all keep our fingers crossed, myself especially.:vapor:

Hey, don't feel bad kiddo, I am a chronic smoker of 40 plus years, two packs plus a day for maybe the last 20! I have also spent way more than I should (or could) on vaping stuff trying to find my salvation, but so far nada. I have cut way back to maybe 1/2 pack a day, but I just can't seem to give them up, it's infuriating! I was hoping to switch over, not even quit but I can't seem to manage that even! Great, now I have 2 addictions. Some say I should try Snus to help me, so yeah, THREE addictions? Today I went and dumped a fortune on DIY flavors from One stop, over $100 worth (good thing I didn't have more I would have spent it all!) hoping I can find some things I like enough to keep me away from the evil weed, but I have a feeling I am kidding myself. There is something in cigarettes that is not nicotine that is a big part of the addiction because I crave them so hard. I don't know if the "cure" may lie in the whole tobacco alkaloids they've been talking about here or what, but I may have to try that next...just can't get it yet it is always sold out...which tells me we aren't the only ones feeling frustrated and having strong cravings! Be proud girl, at least you are NOT smoking, I feel like such a wuss. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the kind words. I actually am looking at the WTA, specifically from Vapelicious because they seem to have it in stock. But they really don't have their website set up for it yet so you have to call them. (302) 990-VAPE (8273)

But I am really hoping/trying to make this work.

I know what you mean about two addictions though. I would dearly love to know just what it is in commercial cigarettes that I crave so much though. I have quit so many things by sheer force of will (my husband's favorite thing to say to others about me is "Can't win, roll over, play dead.") that I find it incredible that I just can't manage this one thing. And people who know the things I have quit are rather shocked that I "won't" (their words not mine) quit cigarettes, because obviously if I can quit those other things quitting cigarettes should be "easy".

Good luck to you though, I don't think it makes you a wuss that you are struggling, I have relapsed on this issue more times than I can count.
