    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    " If you are looking for a cigarette, you will be disappointed. Vaping is not smoking. Never will be. It's sort of like eating a vegetarian hamburger. If you are thinking it will be like eating beef you will be disappointed. If you look at it as it's own thing, you're able to appreciate it for...

    A journey reviewed. 42 days in.

    "The funniest thing is I have friends who have never smoked starting to vape (a lot of them are using it as a dieting aid) because of the flavors." Oh gosh - just being honest here but this makes me nervous. Please don't let the anti vaping people with powers hear that co's they'll...

    insomnia and nicotine

    I've always had trouble sleeping but since switching to vaping I am SO tired. I could easily have a nap at around 3 pm every day (and do sometimes) At night I am falling asleep much quicker and sleeping for longer periods. I do have the annoying nocturnal bathroom visits most nights though...

    Mycoplasma Pneumonia (MP)

    Sorry to hear that. Hope you recover quickly. I must admit I was a bit worried when I read your post - being new to vaping myself. I suppose nothing we do is completely without risk and bacteria is everywhere. It's easy to look to vaping as being the cause of so many things and certainly I'd be...

    Do the majority of PV users plan on quitting completely?

    Yes, I would like to eventually be free of all addictions but I'm not putting any pressure on myself as far as a time frame goes. Though I am assured that vaping is causing WAY less harm than smoking it does still niggle at me that inhaling these things for years on end is still an unknown...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Well it's very strange. After spending a day and a half or so with the nic levels increased to 22 mg (or something around there) I felt markedly better. Around mid morning today I felt a bit flushed in the face and had a few transient heart palpitations (very common for me though) so I thought...

    Terrible gas!

    Oh man! Last night as I drifted off to sleep almost in a state of hypoxia due to the toxic build up of gases in the bedroom I was having these wild thoughts of inventing some kind of undergarment to contain "odours". I even came up with a name - 'farty pants!" Well.....wouldn't cha know it -...

    Terrible gas!

    Well this is so pleasant. The gas has passed (literally - and peeled all the paint off the walls) but tonight my stomach feels like an overfilled hot water bottle. I'm now belching like a demon. I'm so attractive right now.

    Thanks everyone. Suggestions and encouragement MUCH appreciated. :) Did much better this afternoon with the increased nicotine so I think I'll try that for a few days and see how I go.

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    I'm sure I will have the chance to try other equipment as it seems my husband will turn out to be one of those who enjoys experimenting with all the latest and greatest :) You never know, it may be that I haven't yet found "thing" yet, which is good because it gives me added hope! Just upped...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Hi, yes Katz I saw you mention about the peppery taste of the tobacco flavour. But no, that's not what I/we mean. We're not using ANY "tobacco" flavours at all. This peppery taste seems to be from the nicotine itself, not any of the flavours. Curious as to whether other people are...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Thanks TomCatt. Yes I have read a little here and there about the MAOI's. Will search some more. I'm hoping it's NOT that to be honest and rather just the ups and downs of adjusting.

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Ok, I'm bumping the nic level up for a while today and switching to a new mint flavour (not TOO overwhelming and "cold") and I'll see how I go. Does anyone know what I mean by the "peppery" taste of the nicotine in your mouth and throat? Both my husband and I don't like that. In fact he's just...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Romeo, I think my husband has mentioned the cone style atomizer as something to try. He's using - I don't know what it's called now - the part you suck on, lol....is round like a cigarette shape. You don't have to draw as hard with it. I've tried it but again it doesn't really do anything for...

    Why is Avejuice so good? Stronger? Is that something you get from the US?

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Yes Beans. I suspect that this could very well be what I'm going through, detoxing from all the "other" chemicals. It's almost like my happy place (in my brain) is crying out for a fix. That "ahh" feeling I spoke of..... it's just sayin' "Ohhh" :( now. But how long does this take, if indeed it...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Thanks Beans. Yeah I'm wondering whether my taste buds just haven't woken up yet. Strange because my sense of smell HAS (and they are linked are they not?) I'm smelling things I never knew existed, lol! I suppose that deep down I know there are going to be slumps like this. After all it's...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Yes, in my heart of hearts I know I am still a smoker. I read where people say they have tried a tobacco cigarette out of curiosity and it tastes "disgusting" etc. There's no way I would DARE to do that right now because my fear is that it wouldn't taste disgusting at ALL to me. FB305, good...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    "Vaping isn't for everyone" Ahh, please don't say that. I WANT it to be for me. :) "Unless it's the only thing between you and analogs." At the moment that's how it feels. Maybe it's a mindset thing? Perhaps I should be thinking of it more like just a change in brands or something...
