I too vape constantly at times, however we do not recieve as much nicotine as reg cigs gave us. With that being said I have now problem using this as a pascifier as long as I dont smoke marlboro lights/wildhorse light. GL. ps. If I want to put the e cig down for awhile I can but usually choose not to.

Definitely vape more than I smoked. However, for me, it depends on the nic strength. I don't chain vape at 24mg. A few vapes here and there and I'm good to go.

Anything lower than 18mg, I chain vape especially when I'm at the computer.

When I'm out of the house, irregardless of the nic strength - I don't vape as much. Used to be when I got in the car - there would be clouds of smoke pouring out the windows. Kind of like Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke" LOL!

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 agree I did the same and cut back mostly because I was afraid I was getting too much nic. and it was because I liked the taste better and the sensation of vaping more.:)

Pretty sure I vape more than I smoked (and I still let myself have like 5 a day). I peaked in my smoking at around 1.5 ppd, quit, restarted (yada, yada...) and right before vaping was at about a pack. Even at my peak of smoking, I always felt like I was monitoring myself. The only time I consistently let myself chain-smoke was lunch hour (five or six--and I managed to eat as well).

Because I switch juice bottles, I don't have a good handle on how many ml I vape, but I'm going to guess 3-ish. My drive to work (before, two cigarettes over 40 minutes, now, vaping over the entire drive) says a lot. Then at least, I let myself vape as much as I wanted to smoke. I haven't taken the trouble to fool much with nic levels and pretty much stay in the 24-30 range, and I fairly often get borderline "nicked out" in ways I never did over decades of smoking. Probably a tad higher than where I ought to be, but that helps me either not smoke any number of cigarettes, or at least really not enjoy most of of those I still do. Except that first one in the a.m.
