3 days 18 hours - I really want a cigarette...

[nattylite]

Hang in there!! I tried all sorts of stuff when started vaping, from only smoking other peoples cigs to buying packs "just in case" mornin stressful times and smoking more cigs then vaping. I realized I couldn't have cigs around at all. So I would vape for a week and them try to smoke a cig. It would taste terrible but I would hack through it, wondering why I kept smoking it. Smoking is as much a psychological addiction as physical. The hardest part to me was just getting used to the differences, but when the cravings come I just vape til I have a headache.

Also, the ego starter kit I bought with the kanger ts3 tank and 2.5 ohm coils was ok but not cutting it. I needed a bigger hit so I upgraded to a kanger protank 2 with the1.5 oh coils and a vv batt and Im all set!

Now I've got the vaping fever and love to drool over new gear ill never afford Haha. My point is, vaping is generally more fun than.smoking and can even be a hobby. For me, i let it become.an obsession, and i rarely.desire them nasty cigs anymore.. the occasional cigs not bad, if only to remind you how much you'd rather vape!!

Just ask yourself this: Do you want to live longer or die a horrible death?

This being said we don't know how much better vaping really is for your health, but it's probably better. Lol.

I'm on 16 nic - but have some 24 nic juice on the way. Thanks for the replies folk, appreciated.

If it can keep you, good but if you feel more like craving for a cigarette go ahead. Dont fight with smoking. Evil is there to convince you. You vape always "I like vaping but I smoke whenever I like to." In quitting it is not important how many you smoked. Important point is How many you did not smoke. Even in 3 days you will not enjoy the smoke as before. Go ahead increase nic level if necessary but dont fight wth cigarettes. Enjoy my friend not torture yourself. This is why we vapers are very fond of e-cigs. They made us quit smoking with a more enjoyable thing.

Throw that 24 in and vape like a train that's what I did

I used prayer to help me get through the first week with my vape, after that it became much easier.

I also affirmed to myself how much more I liked vaping than smoking. The taste is better, no stench, no sore throat, nice deep nic hits.

Chain vape a 24 liquid until you are a serious nic OD case. Trust me, the last thing you will feel like is a ...!

I have an unfinished pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights that's been sitting on my desk right in front of me since I started vaping 2 months ago. I haven't had an urge to touch them since day 1 of vaping. The toughest time might be when i'm drinking. I have high nic ejuices just for that. It satisfies the cravings when they are strongest. Get yourself a good tobacco flavor juice like Legend, Dark Horse, Smooth Criminal, Tribeca with adequate nic level and you should be fine. Sometimes the toughest part for me was to not burn my juice when chain vaping while drinking. A good juice delivery system is a must in those cases.

Yeah man it's a process. I'm still trying to quit but have been occasionally smoking one. Just keep up with it man and you'll be good. We got your back.

Not too worried about dying - except if it's gonna be horrible and painful! - we're all gonna die. I'm not giving up to get more life, I'm giving up because smoking is affecting my (current) quality of life. In particular, the wheezing at night time (gone already!). That's about it really.

Prayer has been proven, in many studies now, to have no effect. I'm religiously athiest - so we shouldn't continue this! Appreciate your message though.

Hang in there, i gave up 9 days ago after smoking for 23 years. Im afraid to take a drink

Right now, I need some stronger juice - more flavour. Got some on the way, could be here tomorrow with a bit of luck (it's arrived in NZ) - from AiV - thanks to suggestions from folk here.

All sorts of goodies on the way!

Meantime, whacking in some 24mg NIC juice as needs be. It's working. Everything's working, no temptation to light up a ciggie.

Check out

They sell Whole Tobacco Alkaloid (WTA) Eliquids
What that means is, instead of just using the pure nicotine from the tobacco, they extract all of the alkaloids from the tobacco.
Many vapers find that "missing element" is all it takes to quit the cigs completely

Take a look at the juices "Aroma" and "Red Line" they offer and read the reviews.
Their juices may be what you need to use for a while, to get over the hump
Most continue to use their regular juices, but carry an extra mod filled with the WTA juice for when that craving hits.

Also, if you do a WTA search on You Tube, there are video's that explain it, and reviews of some of their juices.
Good Job so far, and hang in there.

Sorry ... the link didn't come out as "clickable", so just copy and paste ... it's worth checking out.

There's also a thread on this forum that give a lot of information on WTA


I guess "links" just don't want to work for me tonight

I had the same problem you had. I smoked a pack a day and then quit and started vaping cold turkey. Cigarettes definitely give you something else, but keep with it. You have to remember you are not just addicted to the nicotine, there are several other chemicals in the cigarette that your body is craving. If you keep with the electric it will pass in about three to four days. Whenever you want to light up, suck on the electric. I definitely agree that you need stronger Nic juice. I use 18mg and I definitely notice a difference between the 16mg and 18mg. On day four you will start to notice changes in food flavors, it may be different tasting, possibly in a bad way. This will also go away and food will start to taste better to you. This is due to the tars and toxins in your body trying to find an escape route and the best place for it to escape is through your skin and your gums. Brush your teeth often and floss to rid yourself of the toxins. I know it is hard, I just went through this myself, but I promise it will get better and pretty soon you will be cigarette free, and it is great!!

I know what you mean mate, it's working! I got my AiV juice and backup iTaste VV earlier today - the juices are pretty damn good!
