Have been smoking for years, 1-1.5 pack a day. Still there is still one thing that I have not been able to know.
What cause craving. Is it the nicotine or habit?
It can be a combination of both.

Nicotine is addictive by nature, so to experience cravings or withdrawal is normal.
This is to put it in a simple way; I don't think you want to me to do Biology / Psychology lecture here.

Habit plays a part as well, since that 'Hand to Mouth' action has been 'wired' into your daily activites.
You just need time to re-learn/undo that habit.

The missing something... are you using zero-nic juice??

If im not wrong, it is only the nicotine in e-juice that is addictive. Just like nicotine is the main substance in analogs that makes u addicted to them.

Nope. Nicotine is not the main addictive substance that pulls you to analogs. It's the other chemicals. Or should I say, the combination of "the other chemicals".

Don't believe me?

Try stopping cigarettes totally for 2 weeks with the help of vaping, and tell me how much you love them burning papers.

Dual fueling bros need not apply. :pervy:

Nicotine may be the one to the substance. But most importantly is the physiological addiction that play a even bigger role in most people.
Many of the vapers can switch smoothly, is mostly due to this physiological addiction. There are many out there that cont vaping 0nic juice but they are still addicted. They want to suck something and see smoke.

Its all in the mind :laugh:

Like what curry said. The reason analog is so addictive is because the other chemicals actually aids (or even enhances) the absorption of nic into your bloodstream. So you are in fact taking in a higher dosage of nic per puff on analog compared to per puff on ecig which the mist doesn't absorb as well the nic into ur body which is also why you tend to vape more. (and of course not to mention if you have ur delicious juice u tend to vape more too)
for 1 - 1.5p/day smoker, usually ppl start with at least 18mg and ween off at 12mg.
i'm a sort of 1p/d so i started with 12mg str8 and stayed there and when i go out to 'chiong' i bring my 6mg out cuz i knw i will vape more and if i keep at 12mg, i get overdosed.. lol. (you get overdosed with analog too. ever smoke till u get so sick of analog and also splitting headaches?)

next thing which many have also mentioned is the habit. for me is the routine of waking up smoke, go big business smoke, wait for bus smoke, outside non-smoking area smoke b4 gg in, after meal smoke, nothing to do smoke.. basically its the 'empty time' i have which is when i will smoke and of cuz when fellow smoker jio lor.
Also the empty feeling you get is prolly ur juice/atty not shiok enuff. after vaping for abt 1mth? or maybe 3 week, i started to feel not satisfied. Got to know of 306atty. thats when i finally got the (thump at the back of your throat) th feeling. and thats also when i nvr gave up vaping. Also for most people, i reccomend getting a light and sweet cooling vape as it is refreshing and not heavy on your tastebuds. This especially helps when you stop analog and your taste senses are recovering (will have a period of time u cant taste your juice if you use heavy flavoured ones) my fav was my diy green apple menthol. u get the idea so go somewhere along that line.
try as much as possible not to get tobacco flavoured ones. it just isn't the same. taste yucky even.
gd luck.
