5 months today!!! Yippie

[ponytail girl]

Aloha Fellow Night owls,
I'm sitting here thinking wow I made it 5 months without a cig..and of course my next thought is wow a cig would really be good right now..I struggle almost everyday day at some point not to go buy any..I'm the only one who vapes at work and I haven't seen anyone vaping here, I feel isolated when it comes to e-cigs ...Good news is I order the Provari so I'm holding on till that arrives and staying away from the stores..I really don't want to smoke but vaping so far hasn't totally satisfied the craving..You would think after 5 months I would be good to go Im not I still feel week when it comes to cigs..My other fear is I won't be able to figure out the Provari it seem high tech but Its my first mod and I don't wanna have to put out money for more....mahalo for your time sorry my grammar is so poor..Pony

congrats on the willpower to stick with quitting. Hopefully the provari will provide the missing link to ease your mind from thinking about smoking.

What nic level and device are you currently using?

Congrats on the 5 months. You might consider trying snus to supplement your vaping. The reason I suggest it is that some people miss the MAOIs in tobacco. Snus provides these while being much safer than smoking and of course the pv provides the hand to mouth ritual we are all so comfortable with.

Congradulations on making it 5 months. As DonG alluded to, nic level might be the problem. When I first started I was using 16mg juice and still had cravings. When I went to 24mg they went away and I haven't had them since.

If you're concerned about being able to figure out the how to use your new Provari when it arrives, just set it at 3.7v to start and it'll work ok. When you get more adventurous you can play with other voltage settings. It probably won't take long to figure it out.

Good luck

YAY!!!! Congrats on the 5months....and I have a Provari....you are gonna love it...it is simple to use and they send directions on how to use it......I hope you got a couple of extra batts so one can always be charging while you are vaping with the other one.....
I also have a BUZZ and infinity from notcigs......Those are as simple as lighting a cig......what I love about the mods, is they do the work for you....in other words all you practically need to do is open mouth and breath....big difference from sucking on the small pvs.
good luck and let us know how it goes...

5 months - awesome! I can't wait to be able to say that!!!

I'd say it sounds like you need to up the nicotine level (and maybe the PG level?). Just keep experimenting until it works!

Good job on giving up the analogs my advice don't run out of things to vape or vape with . I have nothing to vape right now and it's driving me mad ..

18 months for me and remember to set your mind correctly-you HAVE "quit" smoking and must tell yourself that. It will get easier every day. Up your nic a little and the increased power from a mod is going to be a big difference for you-you are gonna love it. Be brave and keep the positive reinforcement that you are an ex-smoker and the wonderful feeling that you get from that. You are most likely missing all the toxins they put into analogs to keep you hooked. Five months is great so far but don't give in and you won't regret it-I promise

5 months ! Big congratulations to you ! I hope the ProVari takes the rest of the edge off for you !

Congrats on the 5 months. Once you get that provari and put some of your favorite juice in it and dial in the perfect hit it will be better than smoking and I am sure you will lose the cravings.

 

[ponytail girl]

Mahalo everyone for your encouragement last night I was feeling kinda weak wanting a analog..The advice was really good and will up the nic...I just wish I had one vape buddy who lived here ...I have to learn everything watching you tube..I'm glad I discover this..I started with Blu cig..then when with the ego..Then I bought a Map Tank for my ego batt..Today my Provari came in..Tonight is my first chance to try and figure it out..I love it I think it's what I was missing...I like vaping at 5 volts and then bring it down to 3.7...I put to batt in the new charger but one side turn green and the other is still orange not charging..so I will have to let the company know..but everyone here raves about there customer service so I'm sure I will be fine..Thanks again to everyone

ponytail girl, Hey congratulations for your 5 months!

 

[DonG]

try putting the battery that did not charge on the other side of the charger. Some battery/charger combonations can be finicky about making a good enough connection to charge properly. I have a couple batts that require a small piece of folded aluminum foil placed at one end between the battery and charger contact to get a proper connection. Have noticed this more with batteries that have the protection circuit.

Congrats on the 5 months... the cravings keep reducing over time (at least for me). It helps me to think "vaping is healthier", "vaping saves money", "the tobacco giants won't get another dime from me", "the government can find another sap to tax", "I don't smell like stale cigs" and such.

Good Luck!
