4 years and I still cant get into vaping

[CKCalmer]

I really don't know how people can go from a pack a day to ecigs just like that.

I quit a 1.5 pack/day habit in one day when I received my Halo G6 starter kit.

Having only vaped for five months, I still consider myself to be new to all this. But from what I've learned and experienced so far, I think the key is finding (1) an e-juice that you will really like and (2) a good quality vaping device that provides the features you need to get good results from the vaporization of the e-juice.

It's all about the vapor that goes into your mouth. The flavor, the temperature, the throat hit, the density of the vapor and the amount of nicotine in it.

I was a Salem Light (menthol) smoker, so I got a 24mg menthol sample pack from Halo, and found that I really liked a mix of 95% Menthol Ice and 5% SubZero. Now I use MBV's Black Ice 18mg juice most of the time, but I still use my Halo mixture every now and then.

I don't know how to make another person want to quit smoking. All I can do is relate my own experience doing it.

I would recommend getting a simple, adjustable voltage eGo device, a couple of Kanger T2 tanks for it with medium resistance coils (2.2Ω or 2.5Ω), and a sampler pack of e-liquids from an online merchant that you see mentioned often here on ECF. Halo is very good. Mt. Baker Vapor is very good. Ahlusion and Nicoticket I haven't tried, but many here hold them in high regard.

Better yet, find a B&M (a physical store) in your town that will let you taste-test e-liquids onsite, so you can hopefully find one or two you like before having to buy anything at all.

But as cbrite says, you have to WANT to quit smoking strongly enough to be successful at it.

Op smokes Canadian smokes
Not many physical stores up there. Although my brother found one that has a loophole selling much juice as poison

My story is like the rest I guess I could say. My son started vaping last summer. I would try here and there once in awhile but I still smoked my analogs. Well the price of analogs went up drastically with new taxes. So I went to tobacco shop with my son one day and bought a cheap battery with charger and a cheap throw away tank. I had just bought my weeks worth of analogs a day before 5 packs found a local maker of e juice and I was hooked. Those 5 packs of analogs lasted me over a month because if I vaped I could not smoke a analog it just tasted like crap. I did 3 analogs a day for a month or more. 1 when I woke up 1 on the way home from work and maybe 1 or half of one at bedtime. I tried to quit a couple years back cold turkey off analogs I lasted 23 hours. LOL My last analog I think I took maybe 3 drags off it and said that's it I am done. Yes I wanted to quit like everyone else. I did so much lurking here before I became a member. I learned so much here and I still do. People laugh at me cause I have a big cosmetic box for all my juices vape gear tools everything. I camp a lot and I came across this huge make up case and I was like that would be so good for all my vape stuff. It works great in my camper also. I have a pretty pink and black thing that has storage for my big and little tanks. Everyone laughs at my set up but its mine and now my son has quit vaping and so has my daughter and I lost my job a week and a half ago and yes I did have 1 analog but it was like over the whole night of me drinking and feeling sorry for myself. (My job was basically eliminated they ran out of stuff for me to do) and I haven't touched one since. You do have to want it. And even if your world is falling apart you still have to want it. My kids live at home still and I have to smell there analog smoke. If it bugs me I tell them to go outside. It does sometimes but not a lot. Now I am finding that my hubby's cigar smoke is bugging me more now then ever. He quit smoking them when I started to vape and we went to Vegas and he fell off the wagon. I am okay with that we have a lot going on in our household right now. So I end this long post with if you really want to quit analogs then pull all that vape gear you bought out of the closet find the stuff that works buy new juice and quit. If not might as well sell your gear on craigslist because people like me like that kind of stuff.

Peace,

There should be a sticky reference for people wanting to switch..... tips and helping and stuff. How to quit smoking with vaping. Not me, haven't done it yet... but someone should do it....

Okay? So what do you want from us?

It really doesn't do it for me like analogs.

Vaping isn't smoking. It helps right off the batt to lose that expectation. It can be very pleasurable, but not if you expect it to be the same thing.

I really don't know how people can go from a pack a day to ecigs just like that.

You also have to really want to put down the cigs.

I think with combination of the above, and some tweaking and finding right juice, you can do it.

I also recommend Allen Carr's EAsy Way to quit smoking. Look it up on amazon. Millions of people have been helped, it helped me, get my mind right ...... I was reading the book whehn I got my first vape kit

Quit that week.

I had a few copies of the book up here for a while, no interest, but I can assure you that at least 60% or more of EVERTHING YOU DO IN LIFE is mostly a mind-thing. Not a body thing.

GL!!!! y0u can do it

I messed around with vaping for 4 years also, tried it for a few days, got annoyed, put it away for months. In April, I just decided to give it another shot without putting any pressure on myself to succeed. This time it worked! I have not had a cig in 50 days, and the modern equipment really does not seem to have the leakage, get the juice in your mouth, airy hits that I was dealing with 4 years ago. Stick with it, worth all the trouble as myself and thousands here will attest. Best of luck!
