"I had some weird vivid dream activity and one night time really big weird panic attack (though those were probably from falling asleep with a snus in my mouth but could have been also from just a change in my nicotine levels.. I have no idea if I've gone up or down but you know it had to be a change one way or the other)"
That reminds me of an issue I have had --- The 1st week or so Vaping did have a direct effect in my Anxiety Rising.. However it was very sporatic. EX: I could Vape constantly & Nothing --- Or I could take a few puffs & damn near have a full blown attack ---- Or Vape and have nothing happen...
One day my Axiety was just constant, all day, and gradually increasing.... This is kind of worse to me than an actual attack, because the entire day I just kept having these waves of increasing panics & tingling arms etc etc... Anyways, Long story short - By that nite my Anxiety was just overwhelming me ...... So I actually lit up a Newport from my last pack that had been in freezer since I got ECIG.... and it was like medicine, it curved the anxiety by about half on the 1st drag...... I smoked half the analog & got anxiety to a tolerable level...
I've ony been getting these Anxiety Attacks for about the last 8 months , way before I started Vaping... and when I smoked Analogs I never experienced relief from anxiety by smoking a cigartette, but this time it worked like a charm ......
However, the Anxiety feeling that I was getting from Vaping subsided & is now completely non-existent as far as being linked to vaping....
On a side Note - The few puffs I have taken from Analogs since I started Vaping are quite an experience in their own rite
1st - I thought I missed the Harsh / Nastiness of a newport throat hit.... However, the puffs I have taken are quite tame in comparison to Vaping a menthol liquid ....
2nd - The analogs nastiness has multiplied since I went to Vaping... Vaping is such a clean taste compared to analogs... LOL, I have always said that if cigarettes tasted the way they do when I am sick that I wouldn't smoke them... NOW THEY DO ! Weeeeeeeeeeee
3rd - The few times I have puffed on analogs has been 100% mental curiousity and not a necessity at all... When I would read posts about people that it took a few weeks to quit or still smoked & Vaped I was baffled .... I was like why can't they just quit immediately like I did, but I can kind of understand the "Timing" aspect --- Although I don't physically crave an analog EVER ! Theres certain times & activities that my mind not only tells me I need a "CIG" but it also tells me that Vaping is NOT what it wants... If that makes any sense............... Ex: after eating was always prime time for a good old cig * Now after eating my mind still says its time for a cig & vaping isn't gonna work --- Ex: After sex, Great time for a Cig * Vaping just don't seem to compare

Ex: Wake up & smoke a cig * Waking up & Vaping is not same .. Ex: Being around my dad (stress), always had a cig in my mouth when around him * Vaping not same..
Anyways, thats enough examples - Luckily I am smart enough to realize these are mental cravings & sure enough these cravings pass usually within a few minutes...
Sorry if I drifted off topic LOL , if not damn near drove off the road...
