Due to things like New Toy Syndrome, the convenience, tastiness, etc. most people will end up making themselves sick at least a bit at first. I was a very light smoker but I'm treating this thing like a pacifier - it's always around.
Do you vape more than you smoked?

After a couple months of vaping I do vape more than I smoked (thanks DIY Flavorshack). But I just couldn't physically smoke as much as I vape. My lungs would hurt too much for me to smoke as much as I vape.
At the end of my 7 year run of smoking analogs I was smoking ultra-lights for the better part of the last 2 years. I still couldn't really handle them, and if I did (from drinking) I'd feel absolutely terrible in the morning.

At work I was out every hour or hour and a half for a smoke. Now I basically only leave when I have to use the bathroom or get some food. I vape then. Usually like 3 times a day, tops. sometimes in the last couple hours of my shift when I am all alone, I will stealth (I work at a kiosk for a large cellular phone company in the middle of a mall), but even then I don't vape much.
At home though....geeze. It's a frickin' pacifier. Like I ALWAYS wanna vape. It's really weird. Haven't made myself sick though. Yet.

At work or on the go I'd say I vape about the same. When I'm in front of the computer I'm glued to it. Just got a 5v PT and had to cut the nic level from 24 to 12mg just to fall asleep at night.
I didn't even smoke half a pack a day, and I vape a lot, even tho I just started today, lol
Nice thing is I can vape at work now, couldn't smoke there before, so I am getting far more nicotine than I used to..but I don't buzz as much and it keeps my cravings in check. I'll have to forcibly keep my nicotine levels low by mixing my juices..because I can't put this thing down, lol

It's always in my hand when I'm at home or in my car. I use 12mg for the most part so I don't think I'm getting that much nic.
I use it WAY to much! I just had to cut my 11mg down to like 6mg, and add PG for more TH. (The VG does not cut it for TH with lower Nic. Not for me...)

I vape more than I smoked (and I smoked 1.5 packs a day). I just like the way the juices taste, and the selection. I have recently cut my nic by half, though.
Did at first due to New Toy Syndrome and 24mg wasn't enough to curb the cravings. Bumped up to 48mg, cravings GONE and after a couple hits I could (or should I say had to) put it down for awhile. Now 36mg is perfect during most work days and 24mg works just fine at night and stress free days. I am now vaping way less than I smoked and enjoying it much more than I ever could have imagined.
Ditto. I vape so much all day long, that I figured anything higher than 12 mg or so was a little too much. Trying my first 0 nic now, and it's fine. I'm keeping the 24-26 mgs around for those moments when I feel I need them.
due to aforementioned tastiness and new-toy-syndrome, plus some 'insecurity' from quitting, i vaped a ton in the beginning... but, i smoked a lot before i switched over too, so i doubt i was actually getting more nicotine. like keyzy said, it's much less stressful for me to take a break from vaping for a few hours if i'm busy than it was when i was smoking.
but the tastiness is still an issue.

Pretty sure the new toy syndrome and tastiness is the reason I'm not asleep yet..maybe I should go sleep, lol
It was practically attached to my face for the first couple of days I had it. I've now set myself on a schedule of one vape session every hour for a ten minute time span.
It's working great for me and I still get that good old sense of having a treat every hour or so that I had with smoking.

Yea, good call bell, the tastiness is whats getting me now! I never knew about the tastiness factor, Ive been vaping Dekang Camel, waiting for new juices to arrive.
I got the atomic fireball in the mail today and WOW, tastiness is gonna be a problem, this stuff is incredible!

Actually, smoke rings come out better if you don't inhale. Just keep the vapor in your mouth to puff them out.
Let's see, I should probably quote my post from last night..sitting here again after getting home from work..just topped off my cart with coffee and going to town!
I actually decided at work tonight I'm gonna be a coffee nut with this thing. My next order, which I'll put in next week (after researching a bit here) will consist of a few basic coffee flavors (hoping that there's a good espresso out there somewhere) and then the likes of: vanilla, caramel, mocha, cinnamon, and cream (if there's something like this)..and making flavors from that which will rival your local starbucks..life is gonna be good.
I've found that inhaling all the way initially then letting large puffs out into your mouth at a time, and then making those each into several rings, is the best method. For me atleast.
If you know what circular breathing is, it's a technique expert musicians use to hold long single notes, it's something like that.

I don't have that problem but that was because I was a 2.5 to 3 pack a day smoker. Seriously I would finish my first pack before lunch.
Sometimes 11a.m. if I woke up early.
