Coffee drinkers: Do you drink more or less now

[Diablo]

Before I quit analogs little over 30 days ago, I used to drink 6-8 16oz cups of black coffee a day. I drank the good stuff. Ground my own beans every day and made super fresh pots of coffee. Coffee still taste good to me but idk something has changed. I only drink 1 16oz cup in the morning and that's it.

I guess this can be a good thing since caffeine isn't exactly good for you, but I kind of miss drinking coffee all day

So I am just wondering what other coffee drinkers are experiencing.

I've always only drank 1 cup/although a large cup in the mornings. That part hasn't changed but I do find I enjoy it more with the vape/flavor of my choice.

However my water intake has grown in spades. I have a water bottle with me just about at all times now because vaping just taste so much better to me with a sip of water. The flavor seems to come through more.

I went from 2 to 3 'grande' sized per day to less than one or two per week. Not intentional, I've just kinda lost my taste for it.

 

[markfm]

Less, no doubt. I used to always have hot coffee, all day. Now I tend to have just a couple.

Coffee + analogs always had kind of a peanut buttery taste to me. I wonder if I found a vape that could simulate that maybe I would enjoy it more. Hmmm...

same.. my daily ritual in the morning sponsored by dunkin donuts is:

triple espresso
medium hot caramel latte w/ liquid sugar

I don't drink any less coffee than before, but I don't think i could possibly drink much more I'm one of those hardcore coffee drinkers that can polish off a pot then go straight to sleep...

It's really hard to recommend something as everyone finds something different with the same juice. I have found that what your drinking at the time can have a huge effect on the characteristics of the flavor in the vape. If you're drinking something sweet then I'd stay away from sweet vape flavors, they counteract each other to me. That's why I drink more water now, it doesn't effect the vape flavoring, just makes it more profound. I also stay away from the sweet vapes with coffee.

I drink the bulk of a pot of coffee every morning with my girlfriend before I leave for work, then if the opportunity strikes throughout the day, I'll grab coffee while on the go... especially in the colder months. As of late I've had fewer cups of coffee away from home, but I attribute that to the temperature and lack of convenience as my daily travels don't really take me near any coffee shops lately.

However, I did recently switch from the no-name dark roast coffee I had been drinking, to 5 scoops of Medaglia d'Oro Espresso Coffee in a 10 cup coffee maker every morning. Delicious, and gives me the kick in the behind that I require to get working. .

In my line of work, energy = money, so it's espresso, NOS energy drinks, and lots of vapor for me.

I still drink about the samr amount of coffee now that I'm vaping

 

[Rickajho]

Didn't see this one coming when I started vaping, but: less.

I certainly can taste it better now. But I just seem to enjoy it less or want less of it. I've cut my consumption by 1/3 to 1/2 of what it used to be on any given day.

Also, fwiw, I've been drinking the same amount of beer (if not a bit more) since I've started vaping. The awesome thing, to me anyway, is that I can happily drink and vape without ever having the desire to smoke an actual cigarette. That is something no amount of patches, gum, lozenges, or perscription pills could do for me.

I could have nearly become a professional cigarette quitter in the past I had quit smoking so many times, and nearly every time it was consumption of alcohol which lead me back to smoking. Alcohol, job related stress, running out of nicotine gum when all of the grocery stores were closed, and all of the other triggers to smoke suddenly became a non-issue the day I started vaping. Awesome indeed.

That sounds like my wife, she drinks coffee from the minute she wakes up until 2-3am when she goes to sleep. But she only sleeps like 3hrs a day,I wish I could do that but I need the whole 8hrs

Man that is so TRUE!!! The other 73 times I tried to quit analogs it was drinking alcohol that always made me go back to it.

I still drink about the same amount of coffee. I drink decaf, and I always have my trusty 24 oz. travel mug at my side, whether I'm home or not. I just sip on it here and there, make another cup when it's empty.

I go through spurts of being a big water drinker. I probably should drink more water, especially since our water is sooo good, from an artesian well in our front yard.

 

[MagnusEunson]

My wife drinks more on days she vapes less than her normal analog intake. And less on days she vapes more. It's been pretty directly proportional in her case.

I'm drinking the same regardless. -Magnus

Same here, I used to count by how many pots I'd have... normal day was 1 in the morning, then at least 1 more at work... some days 3-4. Now, maybe 2 cups a day.

I used to drink up to 5 pots of coffee a day (a cup was always by my side) but as prices increased, I cut back to about one pot a day. I have noticed that now I am only drinking one cup a day, but I have increased my intake of good black tea. It seems that I crave good tea instead of good coffee now. I always drank tea before I started to vape, but never drank good tea. I would drink the store brand tea dust sold in tea bags. Now I drink 2 or 3 small pots of black tea a day now. So, vaping has decreased my coffee intake.

Interesting that vaping can cause differences in what people drink.
I haven't changed how much coffee I drink. I started drinking coffee as a young child and am hard core like a few others. Half a pot at least in the morning, then scattered all through the day. After meals is a must and quite often a cup just before bed.
Usually Folgers and occasionaly something more expensive, lol.

SAME AMOUNT. probably 5- 12 oz cups a day
