Drinking Advice

[Motorfrog]

I've only been vaping for a couple of weeks and the problem I find after a few beers is that it's automatic to reach for the tobacco tin instead of the vaper and I've often rolled and lit a real one before I realise what I'm doing. Once I've started, of course, I may as well finish it

I do have hope though, more and more often I'm catching myself with the tin in my hand and putting it down and picking up the vaper.

I've already cut my tobacco consumption by at least half and I no longer take my tin to work with me, I just need to keep working on it.

I usually just don't buy any or bring any with me and hope for the best. But just to be sure, maybe switch to a more hard-hitting and tobacco-like flavor for when you drink. I've slipped up a few times since I've started (all while drinking), but it's getting better!

The only time I EVER have an issue with not smoking is when I am drinking. Oddly, it isn't all the time and has no bearing on my consumption.

I keep 24mg nic juice with me. I also don't and never have liked a tobacco flavor or menthol but I do have some RY4 in 24mg for nights out if needed. I don't enjoy it any more than I would a cigarette but at least it isn't a cigarette. Menthol, if I could pull myself to buy some would also have the same effect.

I do go out for "breaks" with everyone else. I can smell how nasty everyone's cigarette is and I am less inclined to want one. The idea sounds good in your head but the smell can change that if you have a minute to think about it....drunk or not.

don't know if I could handle going up to the hunt camp and being surrounded by all smokers..........
maybe i'd be hanging with the non-smokers....

but luckily, I was the last smoker at the camp........ and now im also the first vaper.........

there was a time i couldn't fathom not having a cigarette with my drinks. it just seemed impossible, if there were two occasions that i had to have a cigarette they were with my morning coffee and when i was out drinking, or even home drinking. but a glass of vino in one hand meant i had to have a cigarette in the other. what helped me break that cycle was eventually finding myself the only smoker in my group of friends. and increasing occasions of being out at a bar and since they didn't smoke, and i couldn't smoke inside, i had to cope with just drinking. after awhile my mind learned to disassociate drinking with smoking. and i could drink all the wine in china without feeling the urge to light up. it's all about breaking the cycle.

of course now that i'm vaping...

+1 what JaRod said cant smoke what you don't have with you. Good Luck

but really struggle when alcohol is involved?

Let me check with Mr. Daniels. <snort> Nope. Jack doesn't seem to mind.

A little bonus is you don't get any ashes in your drink (not that we noticed or cared anyway.)

Same issue here, i tend to ramp the nic % up a bit in the tank when i know i'm going on a night out and as mentioned in a previous post, take a vape break like you would a cigarette break rather than sucking on it constantly.

For a long time I would start out vaping and drinking, and somehow wind up smoking by the end of the night. After the crappy feeling one particular morning I decided that it was just time to cut cigarettes out all together and just cape when the urge hit me, coming from a family of people and friends who smoke made it hard, but not impossible, now only every once in a great while do I feel the little nag to have a puff off of a cigarette, and I shut it up with a long pull from the RSST and a deep draft of beer good luck and keep at it!

I have been smoke free for 6 months. Still had 6 packs of cigs. I never looked back. I chain vape, when drinking at night.

 

[Marc411]

I break out the Tobacco flavors when I am drinking and it's no problem.

 

[Walleytroll]

I always like to up my nic level when I drink. When I first started vaping, it was definitely a lot harder to avoid the analogs on the crazier nights, but after my taste buds came back, every time I smoke one I instantly regret it. Also, the rebuildables give you a much denser and warmer vape which simulates smoking much better.

just drink enuf and get silly and put the lit end in your mouth... vaping doesnt hurt as bad if you put the wrong end in your mouth

 

[rush mayhem iv]

Just don't bring any with you that's easiest way

 

[VWMichael]

sub ohm vape with a good tobacco based liquid usually one level above your normal nic level is what works for me. if you dont have a sub ohm a good tank like an nautilus or an aero work well.

 

[XxBLUExX]

I haven't had any issues yet! I usually would go through a pack when drinking maybe more the vape seems to take of the urges with that also

 

[VapieDan]

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.

I find a heavy caramel vape very satisfying when drinking. Don't miss the smokes at all.

Oh God. I've done that. It was Jim Beam for me that time. That was a rough night though...

 

[thatrandy]

Don't drink E-liquid.... that's a start

I was a menthol smoker,so I take a menthol juice with me,got lucky and found a juice that is very similar to what i used to smoke.
