Do you vape more than you smoked?

[bogeyjim]

Man I just dont put this thing down all day!! I wish it would get to the point where instead of smoking a cigarette, i grab the PV, take 10 drags and put it away for 45 minutes, just like an analog.

But man, its so damn convenient, its ALWAYS near me and Im always puffing away.....

I think Im getting waaaay more nic than I used to get from cigs...

Anyone have this "problem"

 

[jdg]

Yeah, pretty much. I smoked a lot, too, though... if you're smoking two packs in a day, you're smoking almost constantly.

Same "problem" here - gonna mix up some 36mg and see if that helps split up vaping "sessions" a little though. 24 keeps me satiated but always comin' back to the vape....like every 5 seconds!

 

[bogeyjim]

LOL, I always have this thing in my lap, pocket, desk, doesnt matter, Im ALWAYS vaping it!

 

[CaptJay]

Yes I think so but I have a sneaking suspicion that its because a. I dont get a much nic from these as I think I do and b.Iwas more addicted to the extras in cigarettes tahn i was the nicotine anyways.
This to me isnt a green light for MORE nic, I dont think I 'need' that much nic tbh.
I did find in the past that I would smoke for 'something to do with myself' even if I was 'busy' I would still smoke. At the PC I would smoke fit to burst. The only time I didnt do that was if I couldn't smoke (it was prohibited) or I was doing something that meant smoking would be detrimental (ie, excercise or cooking)
I think I use the PV in the same way there as I used cigarettes.

Oh ya! I vape way more than I smoked. My eGo is with me at all times along with my juice...I just love this stuff

I used to vape A LOT more than i smoked when i first started. I'm guessing it's because i wasnt getting all the nicotine i was used to (smoked non filtered) but after a few weeks i've settled back into my old smoking pattern.

wrong approach I think.....I would cut back on the nic....you're going to be using it more because it tastes better, reduce the nic so your addiction doesn't "grow"....

I vape 4+ ml a day about the same as I smoked which was 2+ packs a day. However, my work production has increased since im not constantly walking outside for a break.

I vape way more than I smoked also. Mainly because it's always with me and I can vape in the house, and don't have to go outside. I don't think I get as much nicotine as I did with analogs, but my husband did get me a tornado for valentine's day, and I realized that my atomizers were really bad. I gave myself a headache from vaping and that hasn't happened in many months.

 

[BradSmith]

Yes and no. I vape less when driving and in the mornings. But when I'm sitting on my computer (especially on this site) I am vaping more than I smoked.

 

[Kilroy]

More in my case, for sure.

 

[MacArthurBug]

I vape a LOT more then I smoked. I even cut my nic levels down a little so I wouldn't make myself sick.

Hi all, new member here....
glad to hear that others are in the same boat - I thought that I was the crazy one!
speaking of work production...holy moly.... I feel like Im on speed!
The kids rooms are spotless, now Im working in the garage...and its 15 degrees out....
But, sad to say, I still CRAVE analogs....every spitting moment!!!!!!!!
uggggggggggggg

we all vape more than we smoked because this is a very inefficient nicotine delivery system...and it is also easy to vape the hell out of a carto and still be able to breathe. and the flavors are sooooo friggin good too,

 

[splunge2112]

jojo i cant even think about an analog any more and its only been a month. stopped at a bar for a 12 pack the other day and felt like i couldnt breathe for an hour because it was all smoky in there.. i was only there for 5 minutes and is beat me up breathing that analog air.

I should have been clearer - not going let my body get accustomed to 36mg all the time in the place of 24mg, would get too expensive Idea is 36mg in the morning and alternate between 0 and 24 during the day with 0 the last hour and a half or so before bed. Not that concerned personally about being addicted to nicotine, staying away from tobacco is priority one.

On topic, I do find myself vaping a little less each day - think there's a learning curve to figuring out how your body absorbs nic from the new delivery system as well as a bit of the novelty wearing off.

 

[jojogardener]

ya I understand....but I feel like Im on the patch..... really jittery, spacy, irritable......
and I vape more and I feel more of the same........
bought a pack today - I hate myself!!!!
one had one, and I smell like ----- ughhhhhhhhh

 

[keyzygirl]

I vaped 36 in the morning with my coffe for the first month,Thats when I wanted a cig the most.Im over it now and vape 24 or 18 and Im fine.I can go to the movies now and not need a smoke break half way through,If Im busy I dont even think about stopping just to vape.

I used to smoke quite a bit, I even used to have an analog while I was in the shower! I also smoked a lot in my car or in front of my computer at home. I could only smoke so much at work because I did not want to keep on going outside.

Now I don't vape in the shower, or at least I will not till someone makes a waterproof pv I vape on the bus, on the el train and I vape at work all day at my desk! So I would probably have to say yes, I am now vaping more then I used to smoke, but at least I don't stink like tobacco anymore and I am not adding any additional nails to my coffin.
