Drinking Advice

[NaughtyGeek]

So, is anyone like me and rolled into vaping relatively easily, but really struggle when alcohol is involved? Anyone found a good way to get past this? I'll be drinking at the camp this weekend and would love to stay smoke free.

that's easy, leave the stinkies at home, or even better in the trash good luck

We went to a party at a pizza place and I was worried about it, but had no problem, had a few beers, didn't even want one. Vaped and drank, it was great

you have to find a good flavor that goes with whatever your drinking... if its coffee maybe a dessert or sweet roll if its beer maybe a peach or lemon flavor... for me its whiskey and custard or cinn roll... works for me...

i realised that if i have some, ill smoke instead of vape while i drink. I am dealing with this as well, i actually survived 1 weekend with just my vape pen. Lets see how this weekend goes aswell.

I started on Friday and the SEC championship game"WAR EAGLE" was the next night. I was worried that the vape wouldn't cut it but to my surprise it did. Cold beer in one hand, "vapacifier" in the other. The first time in years I didn't wake up with a cig hangover on top of an alcohol hangover. Leave the logs at home and vape hard. YOU GOT THIS!!!

Maybe try taking vape breaks like a cig break instead of vaping the whole time. It may make it feel like it used to.

I start out Vaping but usually forget about it after a while and it stays in my pocket haha

Just don't drink.... WAHAHAHAA!!
Kidding, dammit I spilled my beer

I use ego twists 2.2ohm during the day.
At night, out comes the 'Black Jack' & sub ohm mechs..

In the not so old days, it seemed the more I drank the more I smoked.

Now, just in case, I'll make sure I'll have handy a drip atomizer with some juice higher in nicotine than I normally use.

That was my toughest time the first couple of months. I wouldn't bring any, but I'd end up bumming one from a friend.

Do they taste disgusting or are you enjoying them?

The last cig I smoked, bummed from friend while drinking. It was gross, I made myself put it out after one or two drags and go back to vaping --- yum. That night every time my friends lit up, I let myself have another drag if I wanted, off that same cig....gross. Back to vaping....yum. By the end of that cig prob lit 6-8 times, down to the ......it was so gross. I've never smoked another one, or even seriously wanted one. Sure a little phantom craving now and then. But nothing serious. Now the friends still smoke like crazy, and smell horrendous while all I taste is ...yum.


If they still taste good, that's harder. I made sure to take a good tobacco flavor, + at least 3 more b/c I like variety, at least one in higher nic strength than I normally vape. Then do the best you can in not bumming one. (Do not buy/bring any!) If you do bum one, maybe not your brand so it's not as satisfying?

It was really hard for me at first.. it was easy to just not buy cigs.. then I would bum... with me once I could leave them alone for a week then taste one it seemed easy to throw it and stay away from them... it seems like the things I missed most was lighting and ashing as weird as that sounds.

I struggled with that for awhile, still do sometimes. But lately what I've realized is that as you get more and more intoxicated, you obviously start to get numb and if you've got a low nic or high VG liquid or whatever leads to a lower throat hit, it's fine if you're sober but once you're drunk you don't get that satisfaction on the inhale.

So I just grabbed some juices that are higher nicotine and PG mixed juices so that I get my nicotine but can still feel that throat hit when I vape while drinking. It helps a lot for me.

... it seems like the things I missed most was lighting and ashing as weird as that sounds.

Not at all weird. Anyway, no more so than having a definite time to start (when you light it) and a definite stopping point (when you grind it out).

i know the feeling bro, im trying to get over this myself. gonna party this weekend and see if my tobacco menthol 12mg will satisfy my craving

 

[locomikey5150]

I'm a recent non-smoker myself, and while I still get urges from time to time while I'm drinking, I've found that a high nicotine ejuice with a good throat hit does the trick. For me, my drinking go-to is Torque56 by Halo in 18mg. Drink and vape on!

 

[itstony]

Thats also a problem with me when i'm drinking too. I have tried vaping my usual fruity/creamy ejuice while i drink but i think i just have to find a similar tobacco flavor.

 

[Jett.]

Same for me. Last time I did I caved, but for the record, I drank a little too much and couldn't convince myself otherwise. Just moderate your drinking and you'll be less tempted. Like mentioned, bring a bottle of higher nicotine level, that has helped me even when just drinking a few beers!

I used that same strategy in the first three or four months after I quit. I'd allow myself one puff, and no inhale. IMO, it helped my brain reinforce the fact that smoking tastes terrible. It might not work for every one, but it sure helped me!
