I used to smoke a pack a day of 100 length cigarettes. One cartomizer pretty much lasts me all day.

Although, I do think I go through them faster on the USB passthru. They last longer on my shorty batteries.

I don't vape like I smoked. With the passthru, sitting at the computer, I take a good drag every few minutes and put it down. And at work, using the battery, I take 3-4 drags about every half hour and put it down.

With a cigarette, once lit, I felt obligated to smoke the whole thing. With the e-cig, its always there and ready when you need a hit. I don't feel like I need to hit it just because it's there. Takes some mental adjustment :)

I really need to quit switching between my stash so I can figure this out. I find that I vape totally dif than I smoked. I will sit and hit the PT a few times put it down, pick it up for a hit on and off. My batts I hit 3 to 10 times depending. I feel like I hit the batts especially while driving once every couple mins or so. I kinda just hold it and hit as I drive. With analogs I always would smoke the whole thing and feel like I could move on to whatever I was doing. Kinda of like closure. It was like I had my cig now I can move on to whatever else I needed to do. I think that is one of the things I miss or have a hard time with.

Last month I was smoking 1 1/2 packs a day completely down to the butts.

I've been vaping for 26 days and I've completely gone through 12 prefilled carts and have yet to refill anything.

I used to smoke on a schedule, not when I needed it. And of course I don't like to waste, so always smoked the whole cig. Designated smoke break times at work, after meals, when driving to/from work, first wake up, right before bed... whether I needed it or not.

With vaping, I still take my 'smoke breaks', but because you can't waste the cart, I take a drag or two while standing around talking with my coworkers. I take a hit or two after a meal, a couple drags in the morning, etc. So I'm going through waaaay less now that I don't feel like I have to burn the whole thing down.

It's really hard to vape like we used to all smoke, remember a real anolog last anywhere from about 7-10 drags, if we all could just take the same on vaping and move on it would be great, but it's hard to do..!!! I think a big part of it is we are all just so fascinated that we really quit smoking because of this great vaping venture we are all on and love it so much it's reall dam hard to put it down or away like our cigs we used to smoke, remember having a smoke, breaking out the lighter, lighting the smoke, putting the lighter away, smoking the cig, and then chucking it, or putting it out in an ashtray, That was all a ritual, we all have to figure out a new routine "ritual" that will make us all happy with our new PV'S and vaping in general over time, Also remember how long we all smoked for ?? we have all been vaping for only ?? so we all will probably all make some changes with our vaping over time as we all did from when we first started smoking real cigs... Dont ya think ???

Yeah, the shorty batteries are a godsend. The carts do last longer. Some folks swear by the XL manuals, which rock, but the shorties really extend my cart life.


hmmmm.......

now you've got me thinking, eh!

i love the reg man's (my batt of choice).....
the xl man's are awsome (but burn carts way faster)....
my PT is super awesome (but burns carts way way faster)......

maybe i need to try a shortie,

as to limit myself a bit more...
and possibly extent the life of my carto's a bit longer....

hadn't even pondered the idea, till i saw your thought..........(gettin' a shortie on the next order now;))
