2 weeks without cigs, ran out of juice and got cigs

[IvyB]

they are so disgusting all I taste is tobacco. I'm so annoyed. I have 6mg juices but they taste like perfume and Irritate my throat but have 0 satisfaction or throat hit. I smoked almost a pack a day for months (been smoking overall for 7 years)

I guess I can try to do the coffee 6 mg but it seriously makes me miss cigs and I get frustrated. My 12mg of NuPort NEVER makes me think of them

Rant over. Don't run out of your good juice.

 

[Cheallaigh]

just get back up on the vape bus when you get the juice again! it happens and now you know exactly what nic you need.

Everyone always says, "think about the ones you didn't smoke!" That always made me feel a little better!!

Spares. Spares for the spares. No way was I going to give myself an excuse. Because I am generally near my car I filled a Tupperware box with everything. Juice, batteries, mod, everything. It is still there.

I used to spend $190-$200 a month on cigs, it was no problem to have spares.

Keep going, no mercy!

If you ran out of smokes, a short walk to the local shop is all that was required. As a vaper you need to have cultivate a boy scout mentality and always be prepared. Backups for your backups backup, and stockpiles of everything related.
Don't give yourself a hardtime, just get back on the horse and be better prepared next time.

That is perfect!!! You must have a boyscout mentality. Just starting out, this is something you must take to heart. You have to be prepared to have the ability to make due, make what you have in proximity work!!!!

I always made certain through 40+ years of smoking to never come up short when I wanted, nay needed a smoke. If I thought I needed two packs of smokes to get me through my "trip", I took 3 or even 4 packs. Fill the zippo with fluid before leaving and make sure there was a spare flint under the pad. But also make sure there was a bic and some matches in each vehicle. Well, almost always. There was that one time sitting in a boat in the middle of the lake with plenty of cigs, but nothing to light one with. Anyway.......

For me, it wasn't that hard to merge that mentality into my vaping from day one. I'm just far more covered now then the day I started vaping.

This^ Exactly, about one year ago I had a mod fail and smoked for about two weeks. I now have way too many mods and I always have, at minimum, 60 ml of e-liguid at the house. I bring two mods when I'm out drinking that way I have a backup. When I'm trips I bring three mods, my coil master kit, a bag of cotton balls and make sure every battery is fully charged including my DNA 200 lipo just in case I can't charge a mod.

when I first started vaping, it was very difficult to keep a good stock of all the supplies. you see, they didn't have computers yet. so I would have to write long detailed letters to the various suppliers, describing what all I was looking for to flesh out my vaper's pantry and tool box. not so much "I", tho, really, because I couldn't write back then. I would have to ask Jean-Auguste to take a letter for me; and, indeed, he was slow and scratchy with the nib.
the suppliers would write back, listing for me the various and sundry items they had in stock that might suit my fancy. of these, I would then compile a careful list consisting of the items best approximating my original intent . .. and, of course, ask Jean-Auguste to take it down for me and mail it when next he went to market.
so, you see, those were times where everything need be very well thought out and carefully planned well in advance.
and careful and planny I was; but not without my own quirksome errors (I laugh just thinking about it . . . )
. . .. there was this one occasion where I'd ordered some 1,300mL in all of a variety of e-liquids. when the package arrived, I realized (altogether too late) that I'd neglected to make mention of any sort of bottles to put them in. so there I was with 1,300mL of razzleberry, strawzleberry and foozleberry . . .. and not a container to be found! I resorted to hanging all of my clean socks from every which dangledy thing in my home (lamps & lanterns, hangers and nails) and saturating each one with as much VG laden e-liquid as it would hold. I believe 27 socks was the final count; each lolling at the wet, near-dripping, like ripe fruit at the cresting aiguille of saturation.
I would then go about the house, sniffing at the socks to identify the flavor I sought; and then give it a wee pinch and a twist until I managed to encourage a few drops of the precious nectar to part company with its cozy sock and succumb to the force of gravity . . . drip a' drip dripping into my atomizer.
believe you me, good reader, I have ever since been keen to instruct dear Jean-Auguste to pen specifically the words "in bottles" at every juncture wherein it may apply.

@IvyB , cigarettes were "made" to be very easy. Buy them anywhere, open the pack and light a perfect cancer stick, every time the same. Vaping takes willingness, effort, and exploring. Find others near you and learn and try things out. Because I smoked, my taste buds were damaged for a good while, so I didn't taste much at first. Much better than smoking. I am extremely grateful.

From being prepared as a smoker to this day even over 2 years since I quit for good I am still finding butane lighters stashed for emergencies. As a Vaper I can only think of one time in the very beginning of being a former smoker that my local shop was out of stock on the one e-Liquid I was using. And just recently got rid of 2 bottles that I purchased during that drought. Now with my having over 100 flavors that will never happen again and I make sure I mix my DIY in advance of running out so it has time to steep.

Vape On Safely!

 

[IvyB]

Thank you all. I ordered another vape device. And 2 juices. I'll be buying more at a time now. I never want to smoke cigs again..it's really sad thinking about it

 

[SteveS45]

@IvyB what is sad? The fact you never want to smoke again? When I finally decided to quit cold turkey it was a very hard and painful first couple of weeks and although I had the cravings to smoke I resisted and even told my neighbor to promise not to give me one if I asked. Don't worry it gets easier and one day soon you will look back and say....... I did it!

I just cut to the chase and started vaping perfume.

Channel #5 and the wife's Opium (the perfume guys)

(Not really, I just cut back on the strawberry in my mixes)

don't sweat it, just go back to vaping when you're ready, I went back to my pipe a few times.... but I realised why would I do that when I can get some good tobacco liquid, and a decent amount of nic which will give me a cleaner "smoke" than vaping that chemical filled BS

 

[daviedog]

I remember when the car lighter burned out (overuse?).
Stopped at a drugstore,,while eyeing the Bic display card the salesman came over. "Which color he asked?"
"I'll take the whole card thank you."..

 

[GeorgeS]

heh heh heh....

back in my smoking days I could be a real jerk to wannabe smokers.

I only buy shirts with breast pocket(s). Left one would have the pack I was working on and if less than 1/2 might have another stuffed in there along with two lighters.

My backup was my coat. In one pocket would be an extra pack and a few extra lighters and in another pocket would be some nicotine lossenges in case I ended up somewhere where I could not smoke.

The 2nd backup was my car which always had not only at least 1 extra pack of smokes but a few lighters and a tube of lossenges to boot.

I never ran out. Smokers that are dependent on nicotine just don't run out.

 

[SteveS45]

I use to buy my cigarettes at a local drive thru and they gave a free light with a two pack purchase. After getting so many lighters I needed a place to store them and got the plastic cases/holders from them for them. I still have dozens of lighters left even though I don't use them except for the BBQ now and that is with giving them away for years.
