Anyone need a analog real bad?

[Sandybeach40]

I got this juice wont say who from but for a week now I just cant get satisfied with it. I got laid off 3 days ago and i have been vaping myself to death with the ego. Would it be a sin for me to have a analog. I have been analog free 2 weeks now. and down to 5 a day for the month and a half before that with my blu. I'm proud of myself but I'm obsessed with wanting a analog. Getting laid off has pushed me to the brink of insanity.

Maybe you need to up your nic in your juice....some ppl just taper off...don't beat yourself up...it will happen....

 

[Sandybeach40]

Thanks for the reply I have what is supposed to be a 24 mg nic. But I don't know if its true. Got the juice from a private vendor.

Order new juice and have a analog. My husband has one now and then and it only makes him sick. You will be surprised how unsatisfying it is.

 

[Sandybeach40]

I just drank the rest of my 5ml bottle 24 mg. I'm feeling it now. The nicotine rush wow what a rush. LOL KIDDIN but OK I'm going to try a analog Ill post back on my experience.

 

[debb]

Yup...I've heard that....I use 24 mg. seems ok for now...especially on a 5v...

I'm so sorry to hear about you losing your job. I had an extremely stressful day yesterday and ended up lighting a real cig thinking it would help. The good thing is that after 2 drags, it tasted so bad to me that I put it out and went back to my 510. You didn't mention what nic level you're using, but if it's low-med strength ,you might want to kick it up a bit (24mg-36mg) to help get through this stressful period. Or maybe try a new supplier altogether. Best of luck to you!

Edit: Ok, I admit I'm a little slow at getting a post together. There was only one comment when I started typing.

i understand the urge to just have an analog. if youve been free of them for 2 weeks it will taste nastier than hell but it may give you some relief. just order your new juice b4 you get it so you only have the analogs till your new juice comes in.

I had to break and smoke an analog tonight. My daughter is being a discipline problem at school. My mother has been riding my ... about it and keeps telling me that, "they will take her away if you don't get her under control!"

Both my batteries were dead when she called tonight and I had to do something. It was an analog or strangle her through the phone.

I say don't beat yourself up over it - if anything hopefully it proves you don't like them anymore.

When I got into this PV stuff I told myself I could still smoke if I wanted to - tried it a couple times and didn't like it Not to say of course if all my e-cigs died or I ran out of juice I wouldn't be running to the gas station - I'm pretty sure I would still

It's the old thing about wanting what you "can't have". Once you realize the "can't have" is really a "don't want" you'll be fine.

Also, if you really aren't getting enough nicotine, do like they're saying and up the nic a little bit. Sometimes I make my juice very strong and vape just a bit. Sometimes I make it very weak and chain vape. Sometimes I make it right in the middle (around your 24mg) and vape "a medium amount".

Whatever is right for you, man, do it

For the first few months I'd have a couple lung burners whenever I ran into someone who smoked. Sometimes over at my fathers house I'll decide to light one up. But now, you know why I do it? Because I am so IN AWE of not having a taste for them, any more...

Like this, I'll light it... I'm disgusted... Say, hey! this tastes like ....ing CARDBOARD!!! and throw it away amazed that I just did that. Both that I lit it and that I threw it away.

It takes alot to awe me. But I just can't believe that I ever smoked, after all of these years. And then I can't believe that I don't like it. And then again that I ever did like it.



I LOVE THAT I DON'T LIKE IT ANYMORE
Now if I could get over my love of women.. of course, I really can't stand the alternative about 5 times as badly.. so THAT will never happen

I tried one the day after I started vaping... the memory of that taste will never leave me... how did I actually enjoy that for 10 years...

Exactly.. It's just .. surreal

Do what ya gotta do !!

As long as you don't go back to the amounts of smoking that you were at before.... then you've made a notable achievement and should be celebrating instead of beating yourself up over it !!

I've never managed to completely convert to vaping, however... I'm thankful and feel successful in knowing that I've reduced 2 full packs out of my near 3 pack a day habit.

Will things change for me down the road ?...... I'm hoping so !! (in my favour of course), but until then... I refuse to be disappointed in myself for not achieving the same success story that others have managed, and I greatly refuse to let others chastise me for my generally viewed shortcoming.

As first stated above...... DO WHAT YA GOTTA DO !!

VapeOn,
Greg

Hey There Dock, I am so sorry about your job situation. In these economic times, loosing one's job is a big deal. It's important to be gentle with yourself right now. This may not be the best time to put pressure on yourself about quitting. Just do what you need to do to get through this and remember that we are here to support you in whatever you might decide. Best of luck.

 

[Sue1971]

I agree with smokum..."do what ya gotta do"....I've been vaping now for around 25 days...I've yet to kick the old sticks....But I have cut down to a half pack a day now...

As soon as I get my ego I am hoping to be able to just stick with vaping full time...

Whether or not the juice you got "satisfys" you is the nicotine content; not the juice itself.

Sorry to hear the bad news about the job.....but get you some good 36mg juice. I bought it by the ounce at first and is what did the trick for me (2pack/day smoker). Now, I grab the 36 on occasion, but not on a regular basis.

Hang in there and don't throw 2 weeks work away

Yep. The previous posts sum it up pretty good. When I started e-cigs (only 2 weeks ago), I decided that if I real like an analog I would smoke one... My first day with the e-cigs, I was still getting the craving for a real one, and had 1/2 pack left. I smoke one if I felt like it, then when back to sucking on my e-cig. That night I went out to my usual watering hole... usually I would smoke about an entire pack in a night out. I had only 3.

I have also been going through a very stressful time right now, and the other day I bought a pack because I felt like it... Each time I smoke one they are more disgusting tasting. I use pretty strong juice, my reasoning is to teach my brain that the e-cig is a better nic-fix than an analog. Its definitely working. Plus I'm experimenting with making my own flavors and yummmm.... Real cigarettes don't taste good we only associate that taste with the nicotine addiction. So I'm finding it pretty easy to prefer the e-cig.

Again, I didn't switch because I wanted to quit smoking. I just wanted to be able to smoke healthier. So even if I have the occassional real cigarette (in the 2 weeks I've been vaping I've maybe smoked a pack of analogs) that is way way way better than about 2 packs a day!

So don't give yourself more stress about it... Just think about all the cigarettes that you haven't smoked.

eeMGee.
