Had some scary moments myself this last 8 days as the eCigs don't tell you what things are bad for your atomizer.

It's kinda like caring for a mogwai... There are some rules or you get gremlins pretty quickly : )

Keep fiddling with it. You probably have alcohol there so try cleaning the atomizer I guess and blow out the hole to make sure the bad taste isn't coming from something stuck in your atomizer. If the fibres that hold the juice could be burned from contact with the atomizer maybe pop some gloves on and turn the fibre around... that might help.

But smoke if you must. Don't beat yourself up over it because you now have a roadmap to a better future, a little smoke more won't ever take that away : ) From here on in make sure you have a few spares of everything just in case.

If I were anywhere near there I'd drop by with something, as I'm sure most people in this forum would. It's like a survivors club here, we all share something and we look out for each other. But smoke if you have to : )

Take care M8

No worries, the other two will be on board with you soon enough :D You can start your own co-op, lol. My vape pals at work are always swapping juice, back up batteries, what have you if one of us runs out or a battery dies. And yes, I am sure your patients are grateful too, to not have to smell stale ciggie smoke when you are working on them....oh wow, empathy moment....

Thank you for being out there, doing your job, and saving our lives.

I hear you on the bad day ... I've been off analogs five days and one and a half hours and I can still feel the cravings. I started Monday night with an njoy npro express pack and can't say i am too impressed. I picked the npro because it is the only e cig i could find sold in a store in my area. As soon as i got home i charged it for the full amount of time, battery worked fine but the atomizer was defunct. I drove an hour back to the store and back and have done pretty well with the second express kit. I am new to vaping so I am not sure if this weak cloud is normal or if I am just spoiled to analogs. Friday i was impressed with going three days without an analog so i decided to go ahead and order a 510 pcc kit from madvapes along with 3 different fluids to try. I've been watching usps lol waiting for an update on when my kit will arive hoping that madvapes will satisfy this craving better than the njoy. I have no clue what exactly i am looking for in a pv so i am really hoping the good reviews for th and great vapor are what i am looking for. Unfortunately today my kit was misplaced during a massive house cleaning so i was completely out of cartridge refills. I now own 3 njoy express npro kits lol... well i guess i can definitely help out a fellow memphian if they are in need whenever i get my 510 kit.

Congrats on the five days! That's great. I wish there was a store near me that carried anything. The closest for me is the computer. I am a firm believer in supporting the local mom and pop shops, but when there isn't any, what is one to do. I am confident that I will be able to return the cheapo that I got from a tobacco shop, and be alright until my pv shows up. Again congrats and hope you stick with it.

Thank you very much! I can't say it's been easy but I have a patient loving woman and two beautiful kids here that help me (3 yr old girl and 7 mo boy) I would love to say that I support mom and pop shops but I had to go to a pilot gas station to get my stuff and their options are extremely limited. You either get a new kit or cartridge refills. I just wish i knew what the name brand of my 510s are. I am so new to this that i have been researching EVERYTHING vapewise for 2 days now trying to find out if this gets better.

I hear ya on researching everything. I have been on here and u tube for the last thee days straight trying to learn as much as possible. I have dial up at home so the vids I have been watching over and over again. Ya I live in such a remote area that high speed isn't an option lol. I am going to get my family vaping as well, so there is absolutely no tobacco use in the house! I think this will make it even easier on all of us if there is no temptation to relapse. I will for sure leave comments on my new setup when it gets here!
On an side note, what is a good coffee liquid. I got a 15ml of maiden coffee from gourmet vapor to try, just wondering what others have tried and thought. Thanks........Jeff

First let me say Congratulations!

If you're still getting cravings then your nico is probably less than you're used to. True, it could be psychological but as long as you're getting some throat hit and an equivalent dose of nico then you shouldn't be craving for the stinkies at all.

But... having said that. If you can manage to push past the cravings great. That's progress. If not, consider upping your doseage or vapping a little heavier - especially if the only alternative is to go back to the analogues.


I unwrapped my PV on christmas day and was like "WTF?" as I'd never even seen one before. It came with HIGH PG based carts. Almost no vapour on the exhale so I took a few deep vaps and instantly went dizzy. Since then a single short vap has replaced each stinky I'd normally have during the day... and I have not even looked back at my open pack of analogues.

It does work and there is absolutely NO *tangible* reason for craving provided you're vapping at the right strength.

I bought another eCig from a petrol station to avoid mailman panic and it came with medium strength in a VG base (my first ones were high in a PG base) ... I've found that those DO NOT satisfy me as they are too smooth with no throat hit to speak of, almost no flavour. Those cause me to crave so I vap a little harder (well, more regularly) to avoid the crave and now just wait for my new liquid to arrive.

Get the strength and throat hit right and your cravings will be a thing of the past.

Just remember why you're doing this and where you want to be, only go back to the stinkies as a temporary measure if you're not coping. If you can beat the crave and carry on at this strength then good on you M8.

Jeff,
I know how much that can suck. I got bad flavor in one of my attys. I ended up putting it in an ultrasonic cleaner I use for gun parts. It worked. But after that, I made sure to order a few extra attys. I started with the standard 510 and recently got an EGO. I love the batt life. It sucks to go back to analog but you are doing great. The cravings can be hard, so in the short term do what you need to do to get by and when your stuff comes in be sure to get extra parts so you don't run into this issue later.
Good luck and congrats.

I have no clue what strength the npro comes with... Ive read everything in the box but it doesn't tell me. I used to roll my own smokes so i have 3 things of liquid coming tomorrow at 24mg strength and i am hoping that does it. I also have only been hitting the vaporizer once when a craving hits me so I'm not sitting there doing repeated hits. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a one hitter quitter or what. The directions don't tell you anything.

OMG i recieved my bauway 510 today and mixed coffee with vanilla latte 50/50 along with a drip of each on the atty... just beautiful. Delicious great th AND thick cloud of vape. I'm one week analog free and dont think they will ever be a problem again.

Congrats! You've officially been converted! And you're already mixing flavors and dripping, too! I wonder how long it will be before you end getting a mod...:)

Well it looks like it has turned from a bad day to a bad week. I didn't get my order from lf like I expected to, and my mother decided to confiscate my 51 trio. I am glad she is taking to it don't get me wrong, but it would have been nice to take it to work. I know that there its a couple days left in the week and it will most likely show up tomorrow ( 1 day to late). I leave for work at 5am and I won't get home until saturday, and I work 100 miles away from home. So for now it's only three more days of analogs, and then the journey into a smoke free life begins! Sorry for the bump but needed to vent a little lol.
