Boozing and Vaping, does it effect you differently?

I have felt no changes when drinking since I've started vaping (as far as the alcohol affecting me). When out drinking, the only time I'm not vaping is when I'm taking a drink.

Somewhat off topic: I have, however, noticed that I wake up without my throat/chest feeling like I smoked 20 cigarettes the night prior. Because I didn't. :)

I'm not much of a drinker. I'm a lightweight at best, when it comes to drinking. With that said, I have not noticed a difference. I still get buzzed on 1 drink the same as before I started vaping. :laugh:

I'm probably not the best person to answer this question.

Mmm. Cheap date!

Seriously, when I smoked and I had a really good buzz going on, if I didn't smoke at least one cig/hour, the nicotine buzz would almost knock me out.

I stepped off a Mardi Gras float in 2010 after a particularly long ride, during which I drank quite heavily (maskers usually do). I lit a cigarette and got about halfway through before I couldn't see, couldn't walk and couldn't talk. Folks thought I was having a heart attack.

I have since learned that the "nicotine buzz" is actually the effect of the Carbon monoxide in the smoke, which affects the ability of blood to carry O2 to the brain. Since there is no CO in vapor, that problem has gone away.

im irish and quite like a drink and from ive started vapeing its hit me more lol, the reason being that when I smoked I went outside to the air and the drink hit me but as im vapeing indoors I aint going out as much lol. after a night drinking when the air hit me it really does hit you to speak lol but on the weekends I still have my cigars as its my traditional weekend thing which might stop after a while of vapeing. ive noticed while drinking but I need stronger nic as my cravings get bad but its mostly as im new to vapeing really. its weird not getting up with a cough as much but its a good weird. :):):);)

Hahaha , great post , and I think I understand it ! ?:p

Now he vapes he doesn't move from his seat until he is well and truly treacled .
Then it's the fault of the air ... or the vape :p

I was indulged pulsing a new coil on a genni .
Did that much wiggling of the coil the wick had slid down into the tank .
I put the bottom-fired Sig 19 on the table and proceeded to adjust the wick and coil with my fingers .
Noticed the coil looked to be glowing even before the sozzled-nerves "move fingers" instruction got through !

I had the chance to test out drinking and vaping this week. I was very nervous about it as I normally smoke a lot while drinking. I was really surprised to find that I did not crave a cig while I was out and I noticed that I actually drank less. I've always had to have a drink (soft drink, coffee, or alcohol on occasion) when I smoked and water never quite cut it for me for smoking. I found that I was able to drink plenty of water and was able to savor my drinks more while vaping. It was a really nice experience. Also felt much better the next morning!

Friday early evening. Huntsman in the ProVari, the drink is evident.
