Am I the only one?

[chirs79]

Just curious. Since I started vaping (now three weeks - off cigarettes for two), I find that I tend to vape more like one would smoke a pipe. Not so much inhaling like a cigarette, but more just happily puffing away at it and enjoying the flavor(s). Have any of y'all found yourself doing this since you quite smoking?

Yes, when I first started just like you

I so envy you who can - "puff, puff and put it away". Or not inhaling.
But hope, I could do it in future. As for now, it is in my hand constantly when I am at home, chain vaping and all.

When I first started using an e-cig I inhaled as much as I did with a cigarette - didn't really care much for any of the flavors since my taste buds we're all messed up from smoking. Even now, while I do enjoy the flavor, I still inhale as if I were smoking a cigarette.. though exhaling through my nose leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm new to vaping, only been doing it for a week. I used to roll my own analogs so was a fairly light smoker 10-15 a day. Since switching I haven't noticed a huge difference in how much I use my e-cig over the analogs. I started with 12mg and still allow myself 4 analogs a day until I get the hang of vaping.

I ordered the KR808 starter kit with the extra 380 battery and some basic blank cartomizers. I have some e-juice and have found the Licorice to be my favorite. The vapor production isn't as much as I expected and the throat hit can be a bit harsh for me. If any of you have suggestions I'm open to improvements. Thanks!

I notice I do the same. Since I can vape whenever I want I reach for the ecig all the time. I will say that I usually on take only 4 or 5 puffs and put it down but I think I puff more now than I used to.

My first full day vaping. I found my kit at a 7-11 store in San Diego. Now I am getting the feel of it. First I tried to recall how many puffs I put on an analog so I could see how a cartridge would equal out. Then I realized that the vape puffs will be much lower because I tend to be satisfied sooner and I stop as soon as I am satisfied. With analogs I think we smoked the whole thing or pretty close to it just because it was there. Anyway I am still in experimental stage. On the drive back to Vegas I liked not having to open my window and just being able to pick up my ecigarette at leisure. Sometimes one or two puffs did it. I find that in social situations though, like having a drink with my roommate at cocktail hour, I vape more puffs than usual. All in all I am excited about vaping and I like the product I bought at 7-11. But in time I know I will look at other products and styles. Love this site.

my PT makes me feel like Fu Manchu puffing on a Hookah.

My wife rolled her eyes and told me to go to bed when I told her that.

i definitely vape more than i smoked (and i did smoke (and inhale) w/ a pipe. just as i inhale now (slow long direct drags like i used to w/ my RYOs) i used to do it for a chest hit and still do. I also believe i'm missing some of the other alkaloids in a cigarette because i'm using more nic to compensate - poorly. so i think for me there's a chemical factor as well as the whole " i like this toy of mine" thing in my case.

I really wish there was a more definitive solution in the "beta-carboline-maois-towards-more-effective-e-liquid.html" thread in the health section of these forums so perhaps I could get something that won't make juice taste like dirt - or those alkaloids positively identified so we could find safe alternatives.

I'm trying to combat that two-fold. After a chat with my dr, I've gone on Wellbutrin (for hopefully, the short-term) and I use snuff. Good stuff! lol.. if you can get use to snorting brown dirt looking stuff up your nose! The "flavors' can actually be quite nice. PM me (both of you) if you'd like to try some. I have about 5 different flavors, and plenty of little boxes to share with.

Try juice with a little more VG. VG adds vapor
Personally, I found the 808 to be low on producing the vapor and a hard draw'er, but that's IMHO!

LOL.. I just got my first hookah! It's wild! hot PINK!
