Anybody else STILL vaping a bit more than they should?

[Cuando]

Honestly, I thought after a time I'd cut back on the vaping after the first week or so, but I find myself vaping constantly some days. I don't get headaches or anything, and my throat and lungs feel fine, but I am surely vaping more than I smoked.

I have had the occasional bit of light-headedness, but nothing to be scared of, it happens very rarely.

Still, I need to figure something out, maybe put the e-cig in another room when I'm at home. Make myself vape outside. Get some really low mg juice and/or cut the stuff I have. I don't know.

I do plan on quitting, but with all these great flavors and the ease of use, I tend to hit this thing every five minutes or so when I'm at home. At work or out on the town, I use it more like a cigarette, but not at home, it's like glued to my lips.

Vaping more then smoking--nothing wrong with that IMO. Get some Zero Nic to vape with also as you do not want to be vaping nicotine all day long. Many of us are "Chain Vapoers'----Sun

I know what you mean. I do know however that when I was smoking, quite often I would take a few drags then snub it, then come back in 30-45 minutes and finish it off then rinse and repeat. I am hitting it alot ( no cigs ) but I am not inhaling every time.

i seem to have tapered off a bit. was very heavy the first 2 weeks. seems like with an analog you get 10-15 drags, then don't smoke for say 20 or 30 min. with this i just space out the 10-15 drags over the same amount of time. - may be just me.

 

[xMarlboroMan]

I e-smoke the same as I did analogs... 'cept at nite when my sweetie goes to bed .

Then I vape practically straight for 3 hours. And none of this puff once put it down... it's puff puff puff puff puff pufffffffff.

It's all good in my book

I quit analogs 46 days ago... haven't looked back.

I agree that I thought that my vaping would taper off after the first couple of weeks, like with most new toys. I thought the "new" would wear off and I would use it like I used to smoke. Now, though, since I can vape in the house and the wife doesn't get mad because I don't smell like an ashtray, I vape all night in my office.

I work in IT, and seem to be constantly on the phone, and I'm now vaping at my desk. I did drop down to 11mg nic juice, and I can tell the difference using the 18mg carts for my Dura.

I used to smoke 2 analogs every hour or so, now I'm vaping constantly. I had to buy spare batteries to get through the day at work. I also just purchased a USB passthrough so I could have an 'emergency' stash that didn't need battery power.

At this rate, I don't think I'll be saving any money moving to vaping, but I feel 100% better than when I smoked. I really didn't think I felt bad then, but I can tell the difference in my lungs and chest after a 6 weeks.

JSRLKelly: That's sort of my point, I guess. I feel great compared to when I smoked. Plus I can actually taste and smell things better (this is both good and bad), I don't get winded anymore, my house smells great, my clothes don't reek, and I'm noticing a difference in my skin tone and breath that is encouraging. I do cough a bit in the morning, but nothing like I used to, it's more of an aggravated cough.

I'm also not really seeing any savings, but even if vaping costs me the same or a bit more than analogs, I'm very happy with the results so far. I think I am going to try and do things a bit different, though, I don't want to keep my addiction to nicotine fully fueled, I want to stop at some point, but right now, I'm just enjoying it too much.

I started vaping just to see what it was all about. After a few days I put down my analogs but noticed when I'm home all I do is vape. Vape in the living room, kitchne, when cooking, when walking from one room to another, getting the mail, inside, outside, etc. Even at work I'm starting to walk around and vape (I catch a ton of people by surprise even though they know it's an ecig). I'm just going to enjoy it for now and eventually try to cut back.

 

[natataka]

hahahaha...im totally the same way. it was suppose to cut down on smoking. i vape more than i smoked analogs. now i vape all day !

 

[borjis]

yeah me too.

I have mostly medium nic liquids now.

constantly hitting the high nic liquids makes me crazy.

I've been off analogs 4 weeks now and still have half a pack
left, I haven't smoked nor have desire to.

 

[WhaTchoo-TalKin-BoUt]

It depends what im doing really.If im out and about i just vape like i would smoke regular cigs, like car rides, work breaks etc. If im home sitting at the computer like i am now reading this forum, lol forget about it, the thing is constantly getting vaped.I tend to use medium strength as well!

 

[katink]

I don't feel I'm vaping too much, no... I'm only doing it almost constantly and enjoying it after all

The one thing I do keep looking at, is if my total day-intake doesn't exceed my former nicotine-intake from analogs (and trying to slowly get that lower, which I partly have... however I'm doing that by lowering the nic mg, not by vaping less).
I think it's great that with these devices you actually have a choice... vape a lot, use low, or vape less, use a bit higher... (Or perhaps even better, I'm starting that too to see how it goes: use two strengths, one very low, other as a spike at 'cig-times').

 

[mace bewley]

same here, but i do it with 36mg i think i'm addicted or something.

Relax, you'll taper back. Part of it is filling the void of the familar routine of analog smoking. The other part is that the vapor is much smoother than smoke and there's no physical signal (sore throat, nasty taste, whatever) to trigger you to put it down for a bit. Not to mention the yummy flavor of your favorite juice.

I keep Zero juice for just that reaon, but I'm finding that as time goes by, I don't vape constantly like I did at the beginning. I've eased into a new routine.

As usual, this is my experience and opinon. Happy vaping!

The first few days, I was pretty much vaping the whole day.

Now, I'm not really doing it much at home. At work, I'm pretty much puffing non-stop, unless I'm in meetings or doing tours.

Usually, I get home from work, change, and put a couple of my batteries on to charge. I'll use one of the spares to vape after dinner and a little before bed.

Right before sleep, I take the two batteries I put on earlier off their chargers, and charge my other two overnight.

 

[ceejay]

i'm vaping alot more than smoking analogs. i would usually smoke a pack a week mainly on the weekends. i wanted to try out vaping so i can completely stop analogs. i'm addicted to vaping now, more expensive but can't put a price on health

Exact same with me, as soon as my wife goes to bed I vape for at least 2-3 hours straight. Well, maybe a 5 minute break here and there but not many. I feel great though, and I use low nic juice cut with glycerine so I am not getting too much nicotine.

 

[Ringo*]

This is day 3 for me and I certainly vape more often then I would smoke (although I was constantly pushing back each cigarette to minimize harm). Considering that I was smoking around 1/2 pack a day, I have done the math to try and regulate my nicotine intake. As it stands, I smoke around 1.5ml a day. If my math is correct, that means my juice needs to be around 6-7mg so that is what I've cut it to using pg, vg, and lorann flavors.
