I've tried multiple e liquid vendors and all vaping ever does is give me a nicotine buzz or feel dizzy. I smoked cigarettes because they perked me up and gave me energy. I don't care if it isn't the healthiest option but is there eliquid that has more active ingredients besides just nicotine to give this effect. I just don't see the point in vaping at all if I'm not getting a similar effect than cigarettes.
E cigs are nothing like real cigarettes?

Guess what http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/465485-its-not-nicotine.html your body is "reacting" to
i was smoking 25 a day bought a cheap ecig to cut down i find i have no cravings and enjoy vaping better as the last time i tried a analog cig it just tasted of tar and horrible not touched one in six weeks
have you considered Whole tobacco Extracts (WTA's) or naturally extracted tobacco juices (NETs)?
I use a NET from Heathers Heavenly Vapes (Legend) and it isnt a exact replacement for ciggies but it is definately keeping me from doing real ciggies

Damn my eyes were closed and now there open this looks like the perfect solution to my problem. The biggest red flag I see though is the increased throat hit. I hate anything harsh where do I go for the smoothest possible WTA e liquid. Also which are better? WTAs or NETs
Throat hit is the product of many things, most of which can be controlled.
First place to look is the nic content of your juice- the higher the percentage, the harsher the hit.
Next look at the PG/VG ratio of the liquid. Some people, my wife is one, have trouble tolerating PG and it makes her feel like she is getting a harder, unpleasant throat hit.
MOST, not all, vendors give you the option to select your nic percentage and ratio.
If that doesn't solve it, look at your set up. Study up on Ohm's law here on ECF and adjust your equipment accordingly. Higher total wattage tends to produce harsher hits. That isn't a hardfast rule, but it's true in most cases.
Finally... air flow. Changes in the amount of air mixed in with the vapor can have an effect on TH.
As a general rule, drink lots of water. PG especially will dehydrate you pretty quickly and an irritated throat will feel the vapor more.
I can pretty much vape anything, but we had to go through a lot of trial and error to find a combination that worked for my wife (12mg nicotine, 70/30 VG to PG ratio running at 8 watts)
Hang in there and keep trying. Vaping isn't supposed to be just like smoking but, for me, it was an effective way to throw away cigarettes forever.
Good luck

You can try High Voltage Vapors - Juice Box E-Liquids by Beach City Vapors High voltage has caffeine in the juice.
I get what the op is saying but when I first tried an e-cig I couldn't believe how much it was like actually smoking. Now, after a couple of weeks, I am definitely preferring the clean nic buzz instead of the dirty smoke.
I went on the same hunt as you are on, looking for a replacement that tasted the same with the same effects. Bought only tobacco flavours in the strongest nicotine content as possible. It ended up just ruining the vaping experience for me. I decided to give it another go with fruity flavours and a lower nicotine rating and now I'm not looking back. You will find the satisfaction that you're looking for after a few hit and misses. I had a cigarette the other day with a mate over a beer and ended up not being able to smoke it past the 2nd drag. Once you get into the vaping you'll notice that you won't want real cigarettes anymore.
Best of luck on your quest, the vaping world is definitely an interesting one

Another option for juice with a little something extra is REV by Mountain Vapor (bought it online from smokingcrow.com) but I don't even vape it straight cuz it's like washing down a handful of Nodoz with a large espresso.
I mix some of it in with fruit or champagne flavored juice and I'm good to go...

I find that if I vape too much it can give me a headache, or too strong of a nicotine level. I've also tried different liquids and after some trial and error, I found what works best. Also, can you adjust your watts? My mom has helped me out with my iTaste and I find that just a little adjustment can make a huge difference! Good luck!
Check out WTA whole tobacco alkaloids maybe it would be better for you to start with. Keep with it man it's definitely worth it to quit.

You can get juice with caffeine?!?!?!? THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!
Hey BigolNoob!
Just my 2 cents worth of input....What mg of nicotine are you using? Maybe you need to use a stronger e-juice such as 18mg or 24 mg of nicotine as you may not be getting enough of the nicotine you body is wanting as I started off at the 18 mg and am now down to 12 and sometimes 6mg of Nicotine at night as it will stimulate you and keep you up at nighttime and give you energy as well as keep you mentally sharp... at least that is what it does for me. You also need to be using a good E-Juice as well as this is key... good luck!
