All Day

So I forgot my battery today had to go all day without vaping and you know what? It wasn't that bad. I could have never done that with analogs. Now I have stepped down my nicotine to only 3mg but I still didn't think I would be able to go 8+ hours without vaping. I plan on cutting down to 0mg but I don't plan on quitting vaping it's become a hobby

I've definitely noticed this too. There's been some high level medical discussions that are postulating that the addictive nature of nicotine is actually enhanced by other chemicals found in burning tobacco. This may redefine our understanding as a whole as to whether nicotine is truly the sole addictive substance from tobacco use. This, in my mind and body, is substantiated by the use of pure nicotine in vaping. While after a few hours I do get a craving, it's nowhere near the intensity as it was when I smoked. I couldn't go two hours without a smoke, with vaping, I regularly hit two hours and then am like, "Oh yeah, I should vape."

Definitely would second the backups for the backups. And here I sit without a backup for (thankfully) functional battery at the moment. :) I should really practice what I preach...haha.

I agree with you, it is much, much easier to go without my vape than it ever was without my smokes!

I second this I spent much of the day today at NSA no phones no vaping gear no problem I kinda get the feeling I could just stop using Nicotine rite now and do ok, I don't think I'll take that chance yet, I'm using 4 mg rite now so this week instead of going to 3 I'm gonna try 2mg. I only vape 8-10 times a day 6 hits per session, but there big deep lung hits. I will keep vaping even after I'm off the Nic. I just injoy the feeling of smoking to much not to.

I was in a similar situation 1 time.I had just made the switch,i had only been vaping maybe 5 days,so i was still getting really bad cravings.I had my ego in my pocket,and it snapped about an hour after i started a 9 hour shift.Luckily for you it wasn't that bad,i went nuts haha,i started to get shaky,started sweating,etc.,worst experience i have had.That day taught me the always have a back up rule.I fixed my ego when i got home,then went and bought another,then bought 2 vamo's,and then a nemesis i want to make sure i am always prepared so i never have a repeat of that horrible day haha.

The backups to my backups for my backups have backups for their backups! BUT - here I sit in the airport - (plane delayed due to weather) with ~7 mech mods 2 VV/VWs and 2-3 twists in my carry-on and there's nothing I can do about it! Been about 3.5-4 hours so far. I' typically a dripper and I typically vape 3mg (occasionally 6) - but as others have said, it's not that bad. If I still smoked, I'd be panicked and dying about now - but honestly, I'm fine. Although, I still have ~5 more hours before I'll be able to have a vape, so we'll see how I'm doing g at that point ;-)

Obsidian, that's awesome!

I get half way to work and notice the PV is at home, I keep driving these days

Oh man, I would freak out. Then again, it hasn't yet been a month since my last cigarette and I'm terrified of smoking again (even though it sounds like the most disgusting thing now!).

I have backups for my backups for my backups, too. :)

I carry extra batts and juice, and i will go back if I forget them. It's like it was with cigs, I got nervous if I had five or less cigs left in a pack. I am so impressed with you guys who taper down the % of nic. After two years at 24% maybe it would be good for me to try less.
