Chain Vaping - Normal?

[Huffelpuff]

Two weeks + analog free and loving it!

Quick question - does this "obsession" w/ vaping subside over time? All I do now is vape. Not such a bad problem to have but am curious why I vape all day at 24 mg. Is there any downside to using a high mg frequently? Did anyone else start this way? Should I cut the mg to 12?

Appreciate any advice.

I've been vaping for 6 months- and I find my self chain vaping ,most of the time.
From what I have read here- that is more common than you may think.
You could try increasing the NIC level- but if that doesn't slow it down- I would go back to your current NIC level.

I find the easiest thing is I leave the ecigs in another room with my Kindle and I go there to vape and read a few pages (fairly frequently), but I do get stretches of 10 to as much as 30 min where I am not vaping. Like now. If I left them sitting next to me like at work, I would be vaping a LOT.

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate your advice!

I am not sure if we normal or not. I am into my 2nd month and still chain vaping. I use 8mg nic around 7-10 ml a day. I have a serious hand to mouth habit with my nicotine habit. Its better than smoking 50 stinkies a day I am sure I will subside some, as others have stated. I did at least try a higher mg and less vaping but it did not work as well as chain vaping lower mg.

Many people vape quite continuously. Some even vape 36mg. However, you didn't mention what PV you were using. There are quite a few posts from people who decreased their nic levels once they moved up to a 5 volt or variable volt PV. They got warmer vapor and better throat hit so they were able to easily decrease their nic levels. It worked for me. I would suggest you consider a good 5 volt model like the GLV 2 or a good variable volt model, such as the Darwin.

When I have my Nook and reading is when I really chain vape.

Yeah. That's pretty normal for most of us. I vape non-stop when I'm at home and have for over 2 years. When I'm at work, I stick to my previous smoking schedule of once per hour. I most likely could vape at my desk without anyone noticing. But I view it as a sanity break.

to be honest, can't wait to chain vape at my desk without having to go to the window. vape at all anyways haha

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You are still going through withdrawls and your body is missing all those other chemicals. Give yourself a couple months to adjust, then play with cutting down on nic or slowing down on use. Good luck.

I am alternating btw eGo 510 and a 1300 mah ego batt w/ 24 mg. Part of the reason that I'm questioning this is that I am on the small side and have read posts from men who have problems w/ 24. Just seems as though I should be vaping less if I am on a higher mg.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe my problem is that I am keeping it too close @ work and at home. Will try that too.

Upping the nic level doesn't seem to do a whole lot for me besides making it easier to od on nic lol

LOL, I hit the 1 month mark yesterday (YAY!!) and while I'm at home- constantvaporclouds!
I've gone down (gradually) from 24 to 6mg, just cause I want to "kick the nic", not because I was worried about OD'ing or anything.
I admit I was having a little trouble sleeping at first, with 24mg. Hot feet, restlessness. It could have been the detoxing, though.
I am chainvaping a lot more, since I lowered my nic, but I don't think it's the lack of nic (I hardly use it at work), I think it's because the flavors are so damn GOOD!!!
I had the caramel yesterday, and I was vaping (at home) like a madman, swapping 14500 batts out of the charger just like when I started on my 510.
Today I have my cheesecake, and while it is good, I've gotten so used to the flavor I can barely taste it after a while. Hence, less fog machine syndrome.

I'm so glad you brought this up. I find myself vaping lots more in the evenings at home than I ever smoked. But, that's why I'm keeping with 6mg at home. At work I can't vape at my desk, so I stealth vape in the bathroom just a couple of times a day, so I do the 12mg there. I've ordered some 0 nic for at home in the later evening so I'll be able to sleep.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

If your worryed about vaping to much you could get one of these to regulate how mutch and how often you vape. ECI-700 Intelligent Ecigarette

Hi huffelpuff,
I'm a newb also and I have been doing the exact same thing. The one thing I do have to watch is to take in plenty of water!! I can really suffer if I don't do that and the side effects of dehydration can hit you quickly. I remember reading about that but just ignored it until the symptoms hit me!! I'm kind of "bull headed" sometimes. Taking in lots of good ole water really helps allot.
Congrats on quitting the nasty things!!

Of course it's not normal! Most normal people don't put something in their mouth that ranges in size from a sharpie to a flashlight and inhale vapor from it all day. But most normal people don't put a paper tube full of tobacco in their mouth,set it on fire and inhale the smoke all day, either. You make the call.

 

[Konalady]

Common problem, I'm about 6 weeks in vaping and yes I chain vape while working at home. However, I'm down to 4mg juices and find that to be just as satisfying, for me it's more of the hand to mouth habit and the nic doesn't seem to be a factor. Have you tried scaling down on the nic? I'll probably move on to 0 nic soon...

I'm about six months vaping and I chain-vape. Of course, I used to smoke three packs per day of analogs.

As others have pointed out, chain-vaping is common.
