Welcome. Sorry to say but you may never get the same kick. In fact I highly doubt anyone does.I've successfully quit smoking and have been vaping for 37 days now, but ever since I started I feel that I don't get the same satisfaction and nicotine rush as I did with cigarettes. I started on 6 mg and went to 9 mg, the throat hit gets a bit harsh for me which is fine, but I don't feel the same satisfaction. I find that I use the vape way more than I did cigarettes and I don't want to go to 12 mg because the throat hit will be stronger than the 9 mg (though I've never tried it). so any tips on what to do? thanks.
P.S. A little background on my smoking history: I used to smoke 5-6 cigarettes a day (Marlboro Medium), My current vape is the Aspire Spryte.
Some studies have been done that show that it is not necessarily the nicotine that people are hooked on alone. But rather the whole chemical cocktail that cigarette's deliver. Nicotine alone will never give the same effect delivered via vaping that a cigarette will give with its cocktail mix of nic and chemical compounds. No ecig, nic whatever mix has ever given me the head rush that a cigarette does. But remember, most of those chemicals in the cigarettes that do that are highly harmful. I know numerous people who smoked, took up vaping and went back to smoking because they couldn't get that same hit from ecigs that smokes gave. In fact, I dont believe that nicotine is anywhere near as adictive as many think it is. I personally believe its low grade addictive, just rates. But combined with the other chemicals in cigarettes it then steps right up, but alone its low.
