    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.


    Can you tell me what kind and how you do your tea now?? Sounds good!

    It's odd as I've alwasy read when you quit analogs to watch coffee consumption....nic causes one to burn thru caffeine more. Given I think I'm current vaping more than I smoked, I have noted a reduction in coffee consumption. Maybe 1/3 less. Could be the summer thing, or maybe it's the other crap in the analogs that has something to do with it. Or maybe I'm not as tired. Interesting that it's different for everyone.

    Japanese green tea is really good when done right. I stopped drinking coffee a long time ago and when I did its usually black coffee with some sweet cake of some sort. Now my liquid intake is 99% coke 1% OJ or water probably OJ but usually 100% coke everyday. In the winter time I make me some ... green tea in the morning that stuff is good. I buy them from costco. I been wanting to try to make macha but I need to buy all the stuff for it. Maybe one day. O yeah kinda pathetic but the reason why I even tried japanese green tea is cuz of anime lol.

    I have noticed I dont drink as much coffee as I dont need the caffiene like I used to. Without the smoking, I am less tired so I need less coffee. And of course the nicotine in vaping is a stimulant. I think it is definitely a matter of less tiredness from all the nastiness I inhaled smoking. I still enjoy coffee to no end. Just dont need. Heck I run a coffee shop lol

    I drink less coffee than I used to. But, I'm not sure how much that has to do with quitting cigarettes (for me anyway).

    20 years ago, I was as much a coffee drinker as the OP.
    30 years ago, in college, I drank even more ... I had a large banquet style percolator sort of like this ...

    I also used to carry a bottle of Tums with me everywhere I went, which I no longer find necessary. I think there might be a connection.

    Over the decades, my consumption has gradually declined ... to the point that today I usually drink from 1-3 12 ounce cups/day. Sometimes on off-work days I don't even touch the stuff! Almost as shocking as my giving up cigarettes, LOL.

    I don't drink as much. But, I still thoroughly enjoy a good cup. Especially on chilly mornings. :)
    And, one of my favorite vapes is Coffee with added cream & sweetener from VaporBomb. :laugh:

    I drink China Black (Yunnan) Tea now, and I just make it in a small 2 cup tea pot. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes and drink. I can get 3 pots out of each batch (3 teaspoons tea for a 2 cup pot, or 6 cups per 3 teaspoons of tea). If you want to know where I get it, then PM me and I will give you the address where I get it (don't want to post a commercial site here). I do have a nice large 8 cup pot but I am not wild about the infuse that was built into it. I have only recently started drinking good loose leaf tea. I think it has to do with my vaping habits. A cigarette while sipping tea just does not make it, but tea just seems to go with vaping.

    I drink way less or none. Any one know of a good coffee vape?
    I've tried 3 or 4 coffee flavors. To date, my favorite is VaporBomb's Coffee, which is available straight up, or you can optionally add creamer and/or sweetener. I doctor my old fashioned coffee and so haven't tried VB's without the doctoring.
