Well ever since I started trying this vaping thing, my long-established pack a day had gone steadily down -- it also helped that right before I got the eRoll and right after, I had a real #$&%$#%!!!! of a cold, so I naturally cut down just so I could keep breathing! In a day in which I don't vape at all, my cigarettes had gotten down to 13 a day -- 2 pks every 3 days, instead of every-other day. Yesterday I got this Virginia, around 2pm, and my cigarette consumption yesterday was only 10; today, I've had it all day, and although it's almost 11:30pm, so I've been awake roughly 12 hrs, I'm only smoked 6 cigarettes. I figure I might have one more before bed, but 7 is still a substantial reduction. I'm finding that not only is the TH better, it actually tastes better; when I've smoked today, I couldn't help but notice the harsher taste and burning throat, which is entirely absent from the vaping. However I do seem to be coughing more, whether from the vaping itself or the fewer cigarette assaults, I don't know.
One other thing makes me think this particular brand of "Virginia" is *just* right for me -- even though I've been vaping it all day, the smell of the e-juice and the vapor doesn't gross me out -- there's a light smell when I refill the tank, but I don't really smell any lingering scent from the vapor at all. The other tobaccos I've tried definitely failed both those criteria!!!
I've been trying to do the slower more mouth/nose than lung type inhales, and the taste/scent is very light, but very subtle, which is why I was having such a hard time trying to describe what sort of taste I was looking for. There's a definite bitterness on the exhale, but it too is light and subtle.
