Don't you just hate new guys?

[Security Ape]

...Hi. I've been a smoker for maybe a decade, maybe a little longer, around a pack a day. I'm approaching 30 and feeling the weight of all 'dem analogs in my lungs and on my soul, so I got a vaporizer. So far so good, except I still crave morning and bedtime smokes, but I'm okay with that for now. I've had six smokes in the two days since getting the vaporizer, so I'm already doing better.

So hi, everybody.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I'm glad it's working for you.
Whatcha got?

 

[JC Okie]

Hi, and welcome. No, we don't hate new guys.....lol....one more life being saved. The more the merrier. What do you have?

 

[Automaton]

No, I love new guys! What could be better than seeing someone getting of cigarettes?

You may want to try getting a slightly higher nic level for morning and night. Lots of people find that they need different strengths at certain times/situations in the day.

What sort of e-cig are you using? And welcome to ECF!

 

[Security Ape]

You know, I don't even know what brand I have. A friend of mine did all of the purchasing and selecting for me. He's been using a vaporizer for more than a year, and he's been on these forums sucking in info all that time, so I let him choose for me. The liquid just says "PV Liquid" on the bottles, with the ingredients and mg/ml nicotine content on the labels.

Welcome Security Ape.

Sounds like you're off to a great start. Don't worry, I wasn't one of the lucky ones that quit on the first day either. I had to bump my up nic level when I was starting out, before I was able to finally quit cigarettes. Trust me, if you stick with vaping, those old analogs will taste so bad pretty soon you won't want to touch one.

Give us a hint. Does it look like a cigarette? Is there a button on the shaft you have to push?

The all-important question on the juice, of course, is what the nicotine content is.

It would get really boring around here without new guys.

So welcome!!!

k, the unit is penstyle, shiny stainless steel with a textured tip-light and a black tapered mouthpiece. My liquid assortment ranges from 11 to 24 mg/ml, four "Virginia" flavoured bottles, one apple flavoured bottle, and a coffee flavoured bottle. Edit: no shaft button. I forgot to mention that.

And new guys tend to get drunk and ruin the furniture, I find. And they have no respect for the fridge and what's in it.

Sounds like it's probably a DSE 801. You will want to ask your friend to confirm. This is good stuff to know, for when you need to get more parts.

Hell, I've been here since June and I still make a mess of the place.

You should check out MistressNomad's video tutorials for new vapers. Very informative:

Welcome Ape! Rosa - that is an excellent suggestion.

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

Don't worry about the furniture; we've already trashed it. Infractions aren't badges of honor, but if you don't have a few, you haven't lived. And there's nothing in the fridge but a long-expired carton of half-and-half and an ice cube tray the last user didn't refill. So have at.

Sounds like you're doing just fine. The hardware is good, but has a pretty short battery life--but you know that. If your craving is limited to those special times you mention, you're probably doing better than most. You might try 36mg, just reserving it for those times until you're stronger. But you're pretty buff already, so don't sweat the odd analog here and there.

 

[Jetmec]

Welcome Ape, It does take some time I have been vaping for about a month or so and I too still have the craving in the am and after meals but I am down from 1 to1 & 1/2 pad to 3-4 analogs a day and they are really starting to taste crappy so I am hoping to get off them altogether soon.
And again welcome.

 

[Security Ape]

It is indeed a DSE 801. I love it, short battery life and all. Good thing I have two. It's already been ridiculously effective for cessation with absolutely no extra effort on my part, so I can't guilt too hard over a few oldschool butts.

Oh hey videos.

*Gets comfy*

And thanks to everyone for the welcome.

 

[Automaton]

He he, enjoy. And feel free to put your feet on the coffee table.

 

[cybergreen]

keep reading this forum and you will find all your answers. welcome, stay strong, and no more smoking.

Welcome and hope you enjoy vaping! I needed that morning cigarette, too, on the day after I received my kit in the mail and the next day. On the third day, I just started vaping and that was the last time I felt the need for a cigarette in the morning or anytime -- except when I was waiting for the battery to recharge during the first three days. After that, I had bought another battery, so I figure I quit about 2 days and 5 hours after I received my first kit.

Good luck and have fun reading the tons of threads here!

So hi, everybody.

I used to use higher mg juices for those times. Regularly use 12mg and for those moments you mentioned i would use 18mg or 24mg.
