Do you still smoke and Vape?

[Scottua25]

GreenSmokes got me off tobacco smokes for about 8 months last year, until I let relationship troubles start me back on them. Well all that's straight now and I picked up my little GreenSmokes again this past weekend and haven't smoked since. I know the GS's don't have a great rep here but, hey, they did the trick. Hopefully my little Box mod from madvapes will be in the mail when I get home from the office and I can get the "full experience" and finally be off the smokes all together.

I wasn't an ultra-heavy smoker, though I did smoke full flavour (i.e. non light - Players Filter / Export A Green) smokes, about 12-13 (half a Canadian pack) a day. Got my first kit April of 2011, and used it somewhat for a month or so, but set it aside as the cartridge/atomizer combo of the eGo XL didn't blow me away... got some Boge cartomizers and a 510 tank and carts in November, and by mid December I found myself smoking maybe 1 or 2 analogs a day before very long. I didn't want to quit cold-turkey for fear that I might jump straight back to smoking.

The long and the short of it is, had my last analog Dec. 31, and one cigarillo on Jan. 1, and have been totally tobacco free since. I occasionally get the rare craving for a cigarette, but a vape or two cures that, and I wonder why I didn't quit sooner. I've since got a Lavatube VV mod, a ton of juice, doing my own DIY juice (just got a 4L jug of PG this morning in the mail for cutting), and all the other cool doo-dads (dual coil cartomizers for tanks, low resistance cartos, high res cartos for my VV), and still spend less than what I would have spent on cigarettes.

For those of you who can't quite get away from the nasty weed yet, don't fret, it took a bit for me, but I haven't looked back since! Good luck to you all and vape on!

I was a heavy smoker, at least 2 packs a day. Been vaping for some months now, but still smoke about 3 to 4 analogues a day, which is good comparing with what i used to, but hopefully within some time i will completely stop with the analogues.

 

[mineaux]

still smoke and I hope the vape kills it off cause I hate what the smokes are doing to me...... but I sure love the nicotine

 

[ismifadly]

i still smoke when ive been recognised to vaporise.. but slowly fighting the crave especially after have a meal.. now im free smoker.. vaping all the way..

The first few months I did when I was using the blu. As soon as my Inferno came in the mail I stopped. Just needed something that lasted longer with less hassle to keep me from getting irritated with short battery life and the endless cycle of carts.

I've got into the bad habit of having a cigarette or two on the weekends. My band had a show last night and I broke my infinity pro and had to smoke until I got back to my guitarists house(left my back up there).

I smoked analogic tobaccos for 10years.. Now after vaping about 7 months ive smoked 3-5 normal cigs (less than 1 cig/month is pretty good ;p) and every time i think to myself "why the h*ll did I lit this up, this tastes like crap"

 

[Newland82]

that's not a weird question at all dude. I prefer smoking real cigs much more, but don't like the increased health risks and prices. I usually vape but I will treat myself to cigs on weekends every now and then. If you really think about it, cigarettes are bad for you when you overdo it....which is very hard NOT to do. I know that might not be a popular theory but I believe it to be true.

 

[Jendoc]

Still doing both right now, down to about 5 analogs a day. Hoping the pack that is in my purse is my last pack. Each day it gets easier to give up an analog.

 

[charliej]

Nope.
However I had to find the right liquid. Once I found I didn't want to smoke any more.
I also reduced my nicotine level since I've started vaping.

I'm happy that I can feel the smells!

I basically vape as much as possible, but I do still smoke analogs while driving (still working on finding a solution that lasts through my 1hr+ commute).

The funny thing about it is I find myself smoking analogs, and wishing they were my e-cig. I should probably take that as I sign that I need to vape more

What are you using now that it won't last through a 1 hr commute???? Maybe you need to switch mods to something better?

 

[Chris97b]

Yeah, it's a long story, but I'm exclusively dripping these days.

Just got an order in today of a couple new cartos and a DCT though, so I'm hoping one of those will work well.

 

[Lifewhacker]

I did for a bit, but the other day I went out and tried to have an analog and I just couldn't. Not sure why but it did absolutely nothing for me.

I bought an e-cig to cut down on my smoking, so I was planning on doing both. Less than a day after I bought it I had my last smoke. I know it doesn't happen to like that to everyone, but I hope everyone eventually gives their cigarettes.

I enjoy a cigar and / or a pipe about once a week.

The Cigar is a more of a social usage exclusive for me,
But I really enjoy the taste of a nice Maduro like an Arturo Fuente - Work of Art
( I'm actually going to Cigarfest , next Friday.. excited too. )
The Pipe, usually on my balcony with a book and my nerdy glasses... There are so many variations of pipe tobacco and the tastes / sensations you get from them.. Virginia / Perique / Latakia.. etc.

But my daily required Vitamin N requirement is met exclusively by vaping...
Never wanted another cigarette after I took my first serious toot on my KgO .

Peace

I cheeted vape with cigs for the first 3 days I think the cheep smokeshop ejuice was the cause so I ordered from an online store at 36Mg strength lmao I didnt even need to vape for 3days after puffing on that a few times lol. Dropped strength down to 24 now we ar vapeing at 18 woo have not had a cig in about 45 days. Just stick with it find a good ejuice vendor. I like Highbrow vapor ry4. But taste is subjective. Just remember cigs kill you and taste bad and people smell you and they make your teeth and lungs yellow. Best thing about vapeing for us is................and thoes long cold winter days we never smoked inside our house for or childreans sake. We can be nice and cozy warm inside feet up with a cup of coffee vapeing! Priceless

 

[lowcashvapo]

i did at first and if i get in a bind and lose all vaping ability like right now i have nothing but a broken mod 11 new carts and 6 fully charged batteries with four new bottles of juice i am so frustrated i have no choice but to smoke just so i dont kill someone

i should have kept my backup instead of letting a friend borrow it just so she could take off with it and move without telling me

Very interesting little thread. I was a 30 a day guy for about 45 years after 3 chest infections this year I thought I would try and cut down, never had the intention of giving up, as like many of the other people commenting, I love smoking, don't know any different really, and can't remember not smoking.

So, started vaping on 5th April to just try and cut down those (habit) cigs that we don't really need, I was amazed to find that I went down to about 3 or 4 a day and after 7 days didn't smoke any, this was completely unintentional, I haven't had a cig since 11th April, can't believe it really.

Was vaping at 3.7v and was managing, then the mod broke (Indulgence) made a crude running repair to keep me going and got my Lavatube VV today. Can't believe how much better higher voltages are, just about to order a cheapo box mod so I am not without again. So if you are thinking of taking up vaping buy two.

Very much taken the view that if I wan't a cig I'll have one and keep a packet in the car and house, so far I'm glad to say I haven't felt the need.

Big prob is I'm vaping pretty much all day long on 24mg, only about 3ml though, and spending a mint on bits and bobs (still haven't used the pipette tho) mind you, it's still less than the cigs.

Good luck to you all, stick with it, I hope to.
