Break the Routine Or Stick too it?

[verruckt]

I've been vaping now for two weeks and I've pretty much stuck to my old cigarette smoking routine. (Sometimes with analogs). I still take a "smoke break" outside about every hour at work. I vape right after a meal, chain vape while drinking. But it's always in a "session" that lasts about 5 minutes. (Sometimes shorter cause I've only had 26mg and it makes me dizzy if I have too much.)

Now I've noticed many people here seem to have broken their routines and are either chain vapers or what I like to think of as "puffers" that puff here and there. I'm interested to finding out if others stuck to their smoking routines or did they break away to new routines and what those are. So break it or stick with it?

Naw, I changed my habits altogether. One of the many things I love about this is that I don't have to go outside in the snow/rain to get my fix. It's a beautiful thing to lean back in my chair at the dinner table and puff away without annoying anyone. Life is better!

I never had a smoking routine as I am a stay at home mom. I never smoked in the house, so whenever I could sneak out to the garage for a smoke I would. I always smoked after a meal, if on the phone, or in the car. Since switching to vaping I find myself vaping more than I smoked since I can do it indoors now. I would say just do whatever you feel like, if you feel like a vape go for it. If the routine works with you, stick with it. Might save on juices/accessories that way lol

I find that puffing here and there keeps a steady stream of nic and I dont get any cravings.

I'm disabled so I don't move around a lot. I didn't change any of my smoking habits because I couldn't change them. If I had been able to change I still don't think I would have for awhile. You are making a life changing decision when you begin vaping. It may be easier to get used to vaping if you just keep to a routine and make changes gradually. Now that's just my opinion and YMMV. In short, do what you are comfortable with doing.

I'm only a few days in but I find that I'm already breaking my routine. I started out with my normal "smoke break" schedule, but already seem to be "puffing" instead of setting aside a break time. I still go at it right after meals or while driving though.

I've become a frequent puffer. One or at most two puffs but at frequent intervals. (Except after a long interval somewhere that I can't vape.) But I didn't change deliberately. As I discovered that the vapor really is unnoticeable to others, and my wife agreed that it was fine to do inside, and then even suggested that I might as well in the car, I just evolved over time into a puffer.

Not me; after I smoked my last cigarette on January 4th, I never looked back and had a mind set of "this is better for me". Now I puff occasionally every few hours. But remember that old habits are hard to break and it's all will power and mind over matter.

i vape a lot more than i smoked but its only 9mg know so not too bad as i was a 30 40 a day person its what is best for you and if you felling dizzy it to high mg lower it that will be a lot better

I say break it. Try to stay inside. Vape at you desk at work or go in the bathroom.

I broke mine and I wish I hadn't - I find I vape a lot more and as my cravings werent that bad to begin with I should have stayed with my old ;routine; even though it was way more of a hassle.
I love vaping nad my nic levels arent high (12mg and often 0) but yeah - wish Id not gone mad and kept the actual vaping levels lower.

I vape more than a smoked, but no one is griping about it. I can know vape in the house, at work, in the car, just about anywhere. I still need my fixes in the AM, after a meal. I say, do whatever works for you and you can get by with. I'm about to take a business trip and can't wait to vape in the airports
