Actually, I haven't even really wanted to vape. Guess it's this nasty hangover. Good thing I don't drink often :).


I was wicked hung over on Saturday and I was the same way. I never did smoke much when hung over and it seems I'm following the same pattern with vaping. I didn't even go through a full m-401 cart on Sat. so I maybe had 3 or 4 cigs worth of vaping from wake-up to crash.

Since getting my e-cig, I think out at the bars is the only time/place where I've gone back to the analogues. I think a big part of the problem for me was the liquid i had here. I'm living in Poland atm, teaching English, and the post here is. . . less than ideal. Especially with things coming from abroad. So while I was waiting for some of the good stuff from TW, I got a bottle of cherry from the local ebay equivalent, just to get me through. For most of the day, cherry is ok; however, when I'm out at the bars for reals, I just can't smoke something that tastes like fruit. It's like putting a funny hat on a guard dog. They just don't work.

So, for the past few weeks, I've been getting by on a pack a week, just when I'm out. You can still smoke anywhere here, so it's not as much of a hassle as in the UK.

Just got some of the x-high camel juice from TW in the mail on Fri, that stuff hits the spot. Haven't looked back since. For me, nights out are the only time I even think about analogues these days, having th right juice at the right time makes all the difference.

Does drinking usually make everyone want an old-fashioned smoke or is the vapor good enough to be okie dokie while out and drinking?
PS... after three days, I hardly ever turn to a regular old smoke.. They make my mouth feel inside out.

In the past 6-8 weeks of using a 901, I have given in to temptation while drinking a few times, and had a few old-fashioned cigarettes. The first time I liked them and had several (although they were strangely different--like a cigar almost). The second time, not so much. The third time was really unsatisfying. For awhile I even carried some old rolling tobacco around in case my battery died, juice ran out, or just in case I felt like having some. I didn't, and so now I don't bother.

In my experience (and I'm guessing many others) if you've developed a liking for it while sober and lost the liking of real cigarettes to the point that you're not smoking in the day, this shift in preference will probably carry over into times when you're drinking--perhaps with a little lagtime.

Well, I'm about to get ready for work and am packing my e-smokes for the day... Karaoke will be following the work day....

We will see what happens...

Then again, I am almost out of cartridges and I'm hoping my package from Wicked comes in the mail today (oh please postal gods!!!)...

If not, may just have to resort to the stinkies until then... Not going to brave the mall again for cartridges for the smoking everywhere cig... not worth it... hate the mall...

Well...

After finally getting my package in from Totally Wicked, I have enough batteries and juice to last me through the night :)

I am pleasantly surprised that I have no desire for "old fashioned" cigarettes even after drinking 6 shots of jager! :) Yipee!!!

I went out Wednesday night and only had a few of my friends ask me what the hell I was puffing on (platinum 901)... Let one of my friends try it and she choked big time on the vapor LOL

Friday night, was only out for a bit so it was no biggie at all...

But Saturday night was the real test and I drank enough to catch a pretty decent buzz but still, no desire at all for a smoke!

I did find that my cartridge stuffing kept coming out though... I changed carts a few time but it still kept happening. I think I was pulling on it too hard, trying to get extra vapor.

Next time, I will bring some that I've mixed here with flavor and vg for more vapor, I think that will help that little situation :) All in all, very pleased indeedie!

I took my janty mini-fogger out this past weekend and also got quite a few looks. The bars I go to still allow smoking, so I still blended in pretty well. Initially, e-cigs didn't quite match the feeling of smoking analogs while I drink, but after a few tries, I've really cut down on the amount of analogs I smoke at bars, almost to 0! I've had all sorts of people come up and ask me what that little blue light is..lol...I'm always happy to share and give a small demonstration...I have yet to receive a negative response from anyone! Here in Fort Worth, I'm pretty much the only one in the bars I go to that has one, so curiosity runs high among the patrons.
