Chain Vaping?

[SpiritBear]

Today while driving to/from town (1 hour in, 1 hour back), I took a pull on my Ego-C about every other breath or so unless I was talking. This is more than I would have done if I'd been smoking a cigarette ... with one of those, I probably would have smoked 2 going in and 2 on the return, so certainly not a drag every other breath like I was doing with vaping.

So my ha-ha "educated" guess is that I was chain vaping, but is this rate of vaping unusual or anything? I figured, I love the menthol freshness, it's not hurting me, so why not? Besides keeping me from even wanting a cigarette, it also kept me from digging into the bag of peppermint candies on the center console

How do *you* vape? A few 1-2 puffs here and there during the day, or 10 minutes at a time or what?

I tend to vape on every other breath Don't worry, you're not "vaping unusual"

Everyone is different.

i vape for maybe 5 minutes then put it down. sometimes i chain vape on the weaker juice. i wouldn't worry about it though unless you start to feel sick. do whatever you have to to stay off the real thing.

I vape like I smoked. I use an atomizer and put in about 3 drops of juice (I like Whitehorse from ProVape) then puff it up until it's gone. Then I usually am good for a while, unless I'm online then I chain vape.

I wouldn't call myself a chain vaper, but I do vape heavily while I'm watching television or reading online. I would guess about 30-40 drags an hour, but much, much less if I'm doing something active, like yard work, or even driving around town. I never vape in public, unless I'm in my car.

Ah, good to know I'm normal (well ....). Does the amount that a person vapes have anything to do with the amount of nicotine in the juice? My juice is 18mg nicotine, which I think is more than the nic in the cigs I smoked, but I haven't noticed any side effects from it and I think I'm just vaping a lot because I really like the flavor.

Does more or less nicotine affect the strength of a juice flavor?

I chained vaped for months, but as time has gone on I take a massive rip around every 15-45 minutes depending

I'm the same way Mountain_Rain. Toss in several beers on the back patio, and I'll drain a small carto tank lol. I just drop my nic% to avoid over consumption.

I was never a chain or a heavy smoker, but I am learning quickly that it would be very easy for me to become a chain vaper. Part of it has to do with my improved taste buds and the many flavors of juice available. I am not REALLY (I don't think) craving nicotine or vapor per se, but I am REALLY craving different flavors, from tobaccos, to coffees, to desserts, to fruits, to sweets, just damn EVERYTHING. Everything is tasting so good after giving up analogs.

Driving is when I used to smoke, and now vape, the most, btw.

YMMV

When I'm reading ECF I chain vape like a chimney!!!!

When I'm driving I vape probably about like I smoked... I try to get a few puffs in before I reach my destination and on longer trips just pick it up once in awhile for a few puffs. I know I normally take three or four puffs in a row, instead of the ten or twelve I used to take when I was smoking!

When I'm home I'll go through an hour or so of chain vaping, usually to try a new flavor or new device/coil, then leave it alone for awhile, then chain vape for awhile again.

Too low nicotine can make you feel compelled to use it more often. Some find switching to a higher nicotine reduces their need for constant use. On the other hand, if you are like many of us and ENJOY vaping, even "chain vaping", you might consider cutting your nicotine down some just to compensate.

I quit smoking with 36mg and then switched to 24mg two days later. A couple of weeks ago I found myself not going through 18mg any faster than I was 24mg so I switched again. Now I do a lot of SLR vaping on a mech and I cut my juice in half with pure VG which also reduces the nicotine in half... down to around 9-12mg, depending on the juice! 18mg nic in a chain vaped SLR feels like 36mg+!!!

smoking, I only can smoke up to 3 cigs a time. Vaping, I mix the fluid so light, therefore sometimes I sit there at night ad empty a full 1.6ml. Still not satisfy. I wish I can find a fluid taste and feel the same as a real cig.

 

[dlipford370]

That's funny, I've thought the exact same thing. I only smoked a cig or two a day, and when I started vaping it was a little here and there, but now that I have found a flavor I enjoy, I find myself watching a movie or what not, and vaping what seems like every breath even...I've wondered if its unhealthy too, but I don't think so...it gets to the point where my carto gets HOT because I don't ever give the atty a chance to cool...just a tidbit, it does say in a lot of manuals for vapes, to vape like a cigarette, hit it several times, or as much as it would take to finish a cig, then put it down for a while.

If I am "out on the town" I chain vape like crazy. I used to chain smoke when drinking so it is no different to me. You arent hurting yourself.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

Every waking minute. Im not even kidding. If im brainstorming and/ or problemsolving you might as well glue the darn thing to my mouth.

 

[Crrossiter45]

When I first started vaping I was taking a puff every few seconds pretty much, everywhere I was, it didn't matter what I was doing, whether I was in school, skating, walking, at the park, on the computer, it didn't matter. I've looked into chain vaping, its pretty normal, just watchout for vapourtongue!! That sucks, so when your vaping be sure your taking in extra fluids.

[StarDose]

Chain vaping is normal I just love the flavors so swap tanks every couple hits at home so it seems endless XD

 

[Pam Breeze]

I vap a lot more than I smoked. I think just because it is more convenient and tastes so much better than nasty old analog cigs.

I vape about 7 mls of juice a day. I keep the nic% around 12 mg to not over do it. When I first switched to vaping I started with 24mg and it tweaked me out. You will find your balance.
