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...

If you ask me, that's great. I'm starting my third week and chain vaping at home is de rigueur. I have at at least another month's worth of carts and juice at 16mg before I even begin to think about going to a lower level.....perfectly OK with that. Are you waaay better off chain-vaping than smoking even half a pack of analogs? Yup.

I tend to chain vape at the same times I tended to smoke a lot - at my desk at home and in the car. If I think about it, it's not all that much different from when I smoked, since I smoked little cigars and they lasted about the time it took smoking buddies at break to suck up two regular cigs - a good 12-15 mintues at a time. I would smoke 2 on my 40 min. commute, so there you have it - just about constantly smoking the whole drive.

Other than being more aware of it, I don't think it's that much different. Guess I should look into a passthrough...

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

You know, when you get into something like this so completely and are so excited about it that you notice every tiny detail, it's incredibly helpful to hear, "don't worry about it." I know when I started this I had some pretty serious moments craving an analog and playing the same old mind game with myself about no, no, no, etc. - same as all the other times I've tried to quit.

Then I come on here and see so many vets saying, "Don't worry about it."

I decided to take that advice, and now don't worry that if I have a smoke if I feel like it, I'll somehow be disloyal or burn in hell or fall off the wagon and be a dismal failure. I just notice how very crappy they are, how much better this tastes, how much better I feel - and I shine it on.

It's all good.

me too, vape constantly. Had to lower my juice down to 6-10mg. I use cig-sized volt auto batteries so I can stick it in the corner of my mouth and leave it there. rubber tips so i can chew on something when not actively inhaling. I'm awful. hehe

Where do you get the rubber tips for your Volt? I'd like me some of them...

I found i was the opposite, when i first started vaping, i seemed to us my PV like a cigarette, in that i would pick it up, vape for about 5-10 mins then put it down. When i felt the craving again in about an hour or so, i would pick it up again. That lasted for about a month and now i can't put it down, so i am chain vaping!! and loving it, i just love all the different flavours, i chop and change all day, from tobacco flav. to sweet to menthol.

I started vaping because I was drinking with one of my buddies and he let me try his ego-t. He told me that it took him about 4 months to go thru 18ml @ 24mg. Well 2 1/2 weeks later I'm down to 1/3 of my original bottle and I'm wondering if I chain-vape. All I do when I'm at home is make massive clouds. I have a few bottles of 16mg and they don't do anything for me. No TH at all in any of the configurations that I can put together. Now I've added a different 24mg flavor and I was getting sick the other day. Don't know if it was the flavor or if I was vaping too much. I'm leaning more towards the flavor as I'm beginning to find out that I can't have a sweet flavor as my all day vape.

Any recommendations on more TH on lower nic content? I have 2 ego attys (1 LR and 1 mega) and some BUD attys.
 
One of the main things that got me into vaping is that I can sit and vape a long as a feel like, while a single cigarette lasts an unsatisfying short time. So I try not to worry to much about chain vaping, since it keeps me away from analogues. I have had the same thought though, worrying about my nicotine intake.

What I do is mix juices at different strengths. If I'm at home in front of my computer I'll chain some 8mg, but if I'm at work and only have short breaks to vape, I'll vape some 18-24mg.

Lets just say if I was female I would be wearing two pv earrings. Some one can market that, a one hitter miniature earrings. I need a setup like the guy in the Verizon wireless comercial with 20 gadgets clipped to his waist. My life has learned now 3 people sleep in the bed. Curious, anyone named their pv? Lol

I noticed that also. I've been at 6mg for a couple months now and noticed some of my normal flavors don't have much or any TH. Rice Crispy Treats and Caramel Cappacino are two. RY4 from QuickNic and Casablanca from BRB still seem to have nice TH however. Just got some 6mg RY4 from bloog that also seems fine, so I guess it depends on the juice.

I'm not that concerned about throat hit but I've heard some flavors just naturally deliver more TH. Cinnamon, mints and menthols, (i like wintergreen occasionally) or if you're adventurist... red pepper and wasabi.

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 am the same way. I've switched to 12mg because at 18mg I would chain vape my way to nausea sometimes. You may want to cut by less than 50% if you already vape all day and your body is use to that much nicotine. It may not appreciate having that cut in half all of a sudden. I'd skip down to 18 for a bit first, then take it to 12.
