It's been 31 days but.....

[Chibisaurus]

So I quit stinkies 31 days ago.

But for some reason for the past hour ish
I have been craving a stupid Stinky.
I don't know why.
I haven't really craved them after the first week of vaping

Maybe Stress?
Or it could be the pain in my teeth
(Yes I did research vaping + already bad teeth = Some pain sometimes, and I do know that smoking can hide the gum / tooth problems!)

I picked up some Peroxyl today!

And Im drinking lots of water and keeping busy...

Just wanted to vent. Maybe chat with people.

I saw this today and thought it was funny

don't sweat it; one cig a month is immensely much better than 1 cig an hour

I didn't smoke one (I don't have any LOL)
Going to stare and my siggy cuz if I smoke one, I have to restart that "Since last cigarette "

 

[edyle]

I smoked my last cig about a month after I started vaping; might have had 1 a week for that first month.

I smoked for the first 2 days, When that pack was gone, I was done.
Never turned back
Have no idea why im craving them.

Congrats and hang in there!

Maybe you need to increase your nic level to the next higher dose, once you get it right your cravings should go away. It's à little trial and error but keep your head up, you're doing great.

when I decided to quit ... I just told myself, vape this eCig as much as it takes to kill a craving.

I was chain vaping 18-24mg when I had to

worked for me ... I never crave for a smoke anymore.

 

[inspects]

When I first quit...after month I lowered the nic to 12 mg...I still had some 24 mg joose left-over...couple hits off that and the craving subsided immediately.

Good luck to you....

 

[Wolfenstark]

Smoking for me is inferior to vaping , Don't feel the need to go backwards.

 

[Chibisaurus]

I have been vaping at between 12-18 MG since I quit.
(I have some 18 and some 12)

The craving has gone away.. Finally xD But heeeey lol

 

[gingertalk196]

For many of us it takes a while to completely quit. Sometimes you need to up the MG of nicotine you are vaping. Best of luck to you!

I started vaping a little over a year ago because my family was worried about me. If I had a bad craving, I would smoke a cigarette. You learn very quickly that your vape is more satisfying.

 

[cocacola31173]

If you feel the need go ahead and smoke one...i guarantee you that you will put it out after a couple of puffs though! After you are used to vaping you inhale expecting that yummy goodness that you have gotten used to and instead get a mouthful of yucky crap!

One cigarette after a few months did that for me..haven't had one for 3 years since. Really the act of smoking is so foreign to me now I can't imagine going back.

 

[Chibisaurus]

Thanks everyone! At least I know I'm not the only one after 1 month wanting one for some reason.
I don't have any around here, and I don't see myself spending $7 for a pack (That's almost as much as I spend on 5 Replacement coils for my tank!)

Congrats on the 31 days in. Someone here gave me this advice. If you have another device, fill it with some tobacco flavored juice and a higher nic than you are used to. Whenever you get the urge to smoke, just take a couple puffs of that. This has helped me, especially when drinking.

 

[NOVA jon]

I'm not sure my cravings will ever cease to exist, just knowing how badly I would smell and feel after I smoked a black and mild, keeps me from going in that direction!!

 

[slicknsxy]

I remember getting the cravings for the earthy taste of a legit cig. Instead i went to a vapor lounge and tried different flavors and bought all kinds of juice

Congrats on your 31 days. It does get easier but I'm over three years in and still get the craving. Just not as bad

it can take up to 2 months for your body to fully rid itself of all the extra chemicals you were getting from the cigarettes, depending on your metabolism and liver/kidney function. Also, the receptors in your brain can take up to 2yrs to calm down.

You may want to look into picking up a bottle of NET or WTA liquid, they have a few of the alkaloids in tobacco and many users have had great luck using it to calm that craving when they first start.

 

[thetrucker]

That's what I did smoked my last two cigs after getting a vape pen and never bought any more tobacco.

It's been since Nov. 26 2013 and every once in a while I still think I would like a stinky but instead take a few drags from my drippers and I am good again.

Congrats on the 31 days and keep going you are doing fine .---we all support each other here on the ECF.

Enjoy your Vape----thetrucker
