Funny you say that, when l was going into work this morning, l could smell smoke more than l could when l did smoke and l understand how non smokers feel now.
Welcome to the forum, @Christine Tomlinson. Your sense of taste and smell will continue to return the longer you vape. I quit a 40+ year habit of over a PAD a little over six years ago with vaping. Now you couldn't PAY me to smoke a cigarette. YUCK!!

I remember that when my sense of taste started coming back, everything tasted too salty and too....strong, for lack of a better word. I had forgotten what food was supposed to taste like. LOL

Now you couldn't PAY me to smoke a cigarette. YUCK!! Omg food taste so different, ll van really taste little things like spices now, totally agree!! I am trying out what one member told me, l apologize if l have forgotten your name. I skipped my one cigarette in the morning...l was allowing myself and holding off till later in the day. So far l am OK, a little shaky and headache's again, but surprised how good l am feeling in physical effects. I am not out of breath, have more energy, and the color of my feet look normal

You are so right, l really notice little things when eating especially spices. I followed the advice of a member and skipped my 1day smoke in the morning today to later in the day, still haven't had one. I am also noticing physical changes, l am not out of breath when l talk, and my feet are back to a normal color. Only thing l am having trouble with is bad headaches every day, and very shaky

Stick with it, Christine!

It already sounds like you might well be over the very worst of the psychological hump if you've finally managed to let go of the 'first cig of the day'.

I think that smoke, the 1st of the day, is the most important one for most soon-to-be-ex smokers as it kind of 'primes' your ENT, brain and body to accept more smokes later on.

It sounds like you've already discovered how filthy that cig tastes if you don't have it first thing, and allow yourself you properly wake up and get going.

I swear that these days, there looks to me nothing more 'old fashioned' than someone smoking a cig outdoors, *especially* in a car - just imagining sitting in there with the smoker makes me feel a bit sick TBH. And to think that I put other non-smokers through the same thing for *years*! 'I'll open the window! Stop moaning - it's nothing with the window open - it'll all go outside!'.

And the other worst thing is the sheer smell of people when they've just come back from smoking - it's the smell of the stale smoke from the skin and clothes that I think is the worst. And to think that I stank like that for all the years that I smoked!

They say that there's no kind of 'nazi' worse than an 'ex-XXX' nazi!

You may want to bump it up even more. I started out at 24mg and had very few issues (other than wanting to eat every single bit of snack food in the house).

Thanks, I have calmed down lol- the 16mg helped alot

You're doing OK.

Just have to get thru Today. And I Guarantee that Tomorrow will be Better.

Hey. Do you have 2 Working e-Cigarettes? Because if you do (and you should) you can put some 12mg/ml in one and then put some 16mg/ml (or Higher) in another.

Then use the 12mg/ml when things are Normal. But when the Pull Your Hair Out craving hits, you can pull out the 16mg/ml set-up and Beat Down the craving with some Higher Nicotine.

I did this during that First 10 Days or so. I had a Cartomizer filled with Very High Nicotine that I only used when things got Bad.

I called it my "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" Carto.

Hi im Marcus from sweden new member here so hello.

I did watch the bbc horizon documentary is eciggs dangerous really awsome documentary that fda and EU leaders should have seen. But there the main person that is so healthy and top of body and psyicical health. They had alotof sciense men and doctors to take vitals before tedting their groups one where with nicotine patches one withvapes
one placebo and one just regular stop smoking with strong will its really interested everybody should see it.

Now to the question you had in the documentary the healthy man starting vaping with nicotine after an experts scedhular and after one month or two vaping i think 12 or 18mg nic he felt no withdrawel they said its unhealthy as much as coffe is what makes cigarettes so frecking hard to quit is all the other known and unknown things in tobacco that onething thar really makes it hard to quit cause its addicting as hell. But eat alotof candyand drink much do some hobby or new book just keep youre mindon something else, and really try vaping much coulf help if you only vaped outside before to just go outside instead of inside while you vape just to keep your oridinal path . I have beens on many things much worsh i was green and had liverfailure but i did get rehab for my now wife. i had advanced mixture addiction so i know alittle about going thru things been clean 7 years so complete but having strongwilland an point you want to get to and candy helped me aswell i havent used an singel time in 7years drink a beer to dinner 2.8% strong so that aintmuch. Qnd i gave up smoking after an pack of smokes everyday in 17years andi use the swedish tobacco snus to that is a thing you put under the lip and it contains six times more nicotine than ciggarettes and i have used it 24/7 since i was 13years old i couldnt sleep without. did try everything one doctor while iwas staying in the hospital that never seen an patient with such tobacco addiction so she did give an recepie of 880nicotin parches tought she was joking. but i quit smoking when i found vaping i smoked sweet ejuices at 18mg mostly did diy juices dident think about it but i maybe followed the wife smoke outside 2 times per week the first month then i just vaped outside with her. the snus situation did not get better untill half year later but something the vaping haddone u till then was fix my insane sugar addiction that was killing my diabetes i had 3 times over diabetic unhealthy bloodsugar ifitsank down to little less than 80% doubble highest bloodsugar an human can have and where the organs begin to get destroyed well at that bsugeri had to eat an kg candy cause i was was so in withdrawel i have used needles but having tohigh bloodsugar for the hospitals equipment can se almost whole my life did give the worst addiction i has been an needle addict for 2 years and a drug addict for 15years but sugarwas worse cant explain how screwd that is. but vaping fixed iti havent eaten candy in about an year ifeelso much better vapingreally saved my life. but anyways half year after iquit ciggarettesi still snusade the snus 45mg a day that thing gives you mouth cancer throath cancer and stomach cancer if unlucky andcosts like buying an good dinner in the city now today im buying instead of 45mg loose snus that you do yourown size andinstead use two bagged snus a day one after lunch and one after dinner it costs the half and includes just 22mg 20pieces of snus so instead of 45mg per day i use 2mg per day will soon quit with that to and take the money i save to buy some reused server parts and do an vape community with game servers for vapers and talki grooms for those games and talking rooms about different tvings about vaping and use an own file storage and upgrade to 1tb up n down internet and hope it will work for the people that maybe wanna use the services or il maybe talk with this forun if they want to stand for the forum part i dont want to earn any money maybe have enough adds if needed to upgrade ly 100/100mb to 1000/1000 and if there will be anything left after that i will use money to buy harddrives for pictures and videos by members maybe more hardware was thinkingof an news section wince im to wick for even going outof my house but just computers makes me feel healthy i have some network cisco and programming deegres but it was a while ago. feeling to do this since i just moved i to an cveap new house where it is splitted in the middle so pair house or what you call it and the elecrisity is free and i got a perfect warmh storage or its built in the house and is isolated just no heating drawn in there but power is so an condense collector and having 2 dual mobo with 4 little older models of xeons that is 6cored plus ht so 12c22t and 12x8gb ram per computer then running esxi and se where it takes it. when i get the stuff now when i get 500$ more in the month changed place and stop snus and smoking dont own a car and have nothinh to do the wife is goingto study soon so well then i beginn. maybe gonna write when the servers are up and running if this site wants some more functions for free of charge to connect the vapers around the world :) Buti must say it feels awso.e to be smole free and northeen part ofsweden out n smoking in -30 celcius aint nice hehe


But only thing to do for you eat what you can drink much try changing same things you did when you smoked tobacco do the vaping the same. eat candy and chew tuggummi use 18mg ejuices liquid voyage ry 4 is expensive but is awsome anti smoke juice otherwise maybe yaliqs camel or so if you dont wanna diy. and try to keep your mind on somerhing games books friends pokemon huntingoitside workout boxing workd wellfor me when i tried when i was younger. but fight on its mostly psychic part of yout body that has the struggle. try not to drink alcohol its easy to party smoke then.


sorry for writing long got autism spectrum syndrome the bad language and chaotic eyebleeding writing comes with that and alittle of the massive adhd. my writing spinns out sometimes and im writing thru teamviewer to my main pcwhere i was logged onso my writing usaly is better afront an keyboard and if im ever gonna write an review my highly educated brittain born wife will do the english writing cause i suck at it

and for the second i know we are not supposed to talk anything about drugs but this was just aboutme quitting then how vapingsave my life i hate drugs that isent given by an specialist doctor this things is nothing to play with i have to many friends that are dead and many that are so destroyed so seek help instead of beginning with drugs it just tripplify your problems fast and can be like me when you are so bad so you need the strongestan expert doctor can give it feels nothing. save money save yourbrain and i promise you 98.5% users destroys their life. i even hatealcohol cause of many things. so hope i dont getan warning my writing about it was for a good thingi hope. not msny will have enegy to read this.

but in stopping addictionand controlling yourself im called buddah here at home instead ofthe not so proud skellefteås nikki sixx. so thread beginner think of your health will get awsome will get more energyand take an trip to celibrate when you are finished and havent smoked in 3months and you know you wount even take a party ciggarette once. everythingwill taste so much better to.

btw if you got the pico 75w it followed with the melo 3 mini automizer buy aspire triton 1ohm coils to it my wife loves it goes between 40-50w i think cant remember she hates subohm nut with the firdt triton 1.8ohm in the melo did do her to use vape more and then one ohm she likes it. if you like cheramic coils the aspire ccoils 0.5ohm works great you need to begin really low like 15w then up the wattage after a wile seven orfive watts until you hit 40w real good taste and last along time. and the wife uses the tfv4 mini to withthe1.2&1.8ohm mouth to lounge coil you get reql much in the package can change the tank volym from 2-3.5-5.5 i think it is and comes with an easy to buile rba coil tried building it yesterday with geekvape ss clapton 26ga+30ga works quite well need something else in wicking just my 2$ yude wool dont suck the liquid up like i want.

Thanks. I must say that very occasionally, the smell from a freshly-lit cigarette will reach my nose and smell quite enticing, but actually *smoking* one tastes *awful* - I mean *really* bad.

Trying to remember back to first trying smoking in childhood - this must have been what my first smokes tasted like, and I must've *really* persevered with it to make it into the habit I had!

It didn't take me long to quit...I was sooooo ready! I had hated smoking for years and what it was doing to me, but I couldn't quit! I had 2 cigs for two days after starting to vape. A week later I decided to go on my deck and have a cigarette and it still tasted good. But I decided I really didn't want to go back to that. I was satisfied with vaping even tho I was using a small starter kit. But of course within 2 weeks I upgraded. To show you how ready to quit I was....my husband had just bought me 4 cartons of cigarettes. I had opened the first pack. The cartons went into the freezer and the open pack I threw away 3 months after. I ended up giving the cartons away except for one that went into the trash a year after quitting :)

I remember clearly learning how to smoke, in 1958!!! I thought I should probably learn how just in case I ever needed to smoke hahaha Cigarettes made me very dizzy and sick to my stomach...but stupid me had to persist. The way they smelled back then while learning is how they smell to me now. Disgusting! We were getting some remodeling done at the house and one of the workers smoked roll-your-own. I picked up one of his unlit cigs and smelled it....and it actually smelled good. But it did not tempt me to light it :) And yes I asked him if I could smell it! Not after 3 1/2 years of vaping!

Good luck Christine....I know you can do it
