I LOVE coffee and could not imagine either of vaping or snussing without it. I see caffeine and nicotine as having very similar effects and prefer them both for my buzz, although adding an exercise buzz into that mix is my very fave.


Whenever I used to body build I would relish the after-smoke. Then, when I took up jogging the after smoke was even better!!! And I see some interesting things with the poll so far... curious....

I voted about the same, but when I first started vaping my coffee consumption dropped way down. It just didn't go well with my Marlboro flavored juice. But since I've moved on to other flavors, I'm drinking more.


Hmmm... thats an interesting spin on things. I hadn't considered that possiblity. Intriguing...:|

MY doc had pulled me off coffee because of my BP and heart rate issues. Since I started vaping the BP and HR went back to a normal level he has let me start drinking my coffee again so I voted drinking more.

There are some REALLY interesting twists to coffee and vaping coming out now.....
 
All told, I'm drinking about the same. But there are a couple of differences. Coffee used to make me want a cig, and cigs made me want more coffee, so I'd drink a ton of coffee. But vaping doesn't really make me want coffee, nor the other way around. So even though I'm drinking as much, I don't feel caught in this viscious loop, if that makes any sense.

Also, I've discovered quite how awful instant coffee is (d**n taste buds). So I broke down and got a coffee machine.

I think thats kind of where I am at, except that I drink less since I don;t have the cigs making my mouth water for a super duper cup of jacked up finely ground and slowly dripped coffee......mmmm. I basically have one in the morning and one at night now, instead of a pot a day.

A pot a day ?? Man, I wish I could save "that" much money......

My level hasn't gone down at all, and I'm still in the stage of using both analogs & a PV.

And I kid you not........ for as long as I can remember, my routine is:

- a pot before leaving the house
- average about 5-8 large Tim's tripple tripple throughout the day
- a pot after dinner until bed

And the pots I make at home are different int'l fresh ground beans made "strong" !!

So now I'm wondering if caffeine isn't the culprit for my addiction(s), lol....

VapeOn,
Greg

I haven't voted yet as I am still smoking so I don't think my response would be accurate for what you are trying to find out.

But the subject reminds me of nicorette gum. They actually suggest that if you tend to drink coffee and smoke at the same time, to just give up coffee ROTFLMFAO. Yeah, that's really gonna happen, quit smoking AND coffee at the same time. Just goes to show how simple minded some of these stop smoking programs are and how they really have no idea what the addiction is all about.

I don;t know how you make your homemade pots, but I do 6 scoopss of ground coffee to make 3 cups worth.... oh yes, so terribly strong. Dark roast only... mmmm.. must... drink.... coffee... now.... I think my consumption is about to go back up.....:(

i forced my coffee consumption down a few years ago because i had a hard time getting to sleep
i'd drink 2 or 3 12oz mugs in the morning followed by around 8 12oz mugs at work [fresh mug every smoke break] and a pot of espresso after dinner
now i drink 2 or 3 mugs in the morning, 5 or 6 mugs of green tea at work and mostly beer in the evening
i tried to quit coffee cold turkey back then but could not handle the massive, unexpected withdrawal headaches

I have a friend who would drink nothing but espresso, then started to drink espresso and red bull to stay awake and play in his band...... sometimes he would run around making a hummingbird sound. That dude also smoked a pack f belmonts every day, and to th bestof my knowledge still is.

It is late and I am wildly off topic now. Must sleep....
