ECF, I did a bad bad thing

Got me into some legal trouble the other day and I rolled my hand pretty good and I was really shaking...I couldn't caress my prized possession like I normally do, so I grabbed my friends smokes furious...It was actually really nice for the first 2 drags then it taste like ... and I no longer liked it...I had about 5 in an hour (something I never did during the worst stages of my smoking) thinking it would somehow calm down but in the end the only thign that happened was I got sick a little later than night, which I'm going to assume was directly because of the tobacco...Moral of the story, people will call this me caving in, or a relapse or something liek that...But all I got was a motivational push, and a lesson as to how much Cigarettes suck, and how I don't miss them at all...It actually allowed me to appreciate my ego, my DIY liquid, and all of you more then I had the night before

Hope you feel better soon!! Take care of that hand and STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!! :glare: Don't make me come over there and open a can on ya'!! :p

No worries man!! Just start vaping again, and hopefully you've learned your lesson about whatever got you into trouble. I've had to learn a few lessons myself, so no judgement intended!

It happens. Sometimes events pop up and we don't have access to our PVs. We still need to feed that addiction, so ... we do what we have to until we can get back on track. I don't really see it as relapsing or caving. It was just a situational issue and you had to deal with it however you could. If I was in a situation where I didn't have access to my PV or it was broken or something and I didn't have my backup with me, I'd do the same and not feel bad about it, because I know I can just go right back to my PV without issue.

I feel like everyone is "caving in" lately.

strange...
Tobacco industry conspiracy?

Seriously don't feel too bad, I'm vaping pure VG on a burnt atty waiting for the mailman to come and drop off my new shipment.

I tried smoking a cigarette this morning. I stole my girlfriends last one while she was sleeping. She was pretty ...... when she woke up. I didn't totally get the whole anger thing. I guess I don't have to worry about someone stealing my last e-cig lol.

I put the cig out half way. Not because it tasted bad, not because it's not healthy, but because it doesn't satisfy me. I didn't even get a "head rush" like I used to when I smoked cigs in the morning.

I need the good stuff!

If I don't get the shipment today I'm dishing out a few bucks for a disposable. I have no idea where I can find one where I live though...

If you have a Pilot Truck Stop in your area I know that they carry them. I have also seen them in BP gas stations for about 10 bucks. You could try putting an ad in the classys for anyone in the Savannah, GA area :) Many people have had success with that :) Good luck!

I have no idea where I'm at
Here is what I found that works. I picked up some mini lozenges with the highest strength (4mg) nic. They are really small and no one even notices them. When I am in situations, like on a plane for 5+ hrs. I pop one in and get my "fix". This has saved me many times when it could have been easier to fire up an analogue, but I recognize it is more of a nic thing than a smoke thing. When I smoked, I enjoyed it, and sometimes those memories tempt me to light up, but I remember why I started vaping in the first place and resist temptation by either just putting up with it or use an alternative (like the lozenge).

Don't beat yourself up over having an analogue, it's no big deal. Just go back to your PV and just plan ahead so the next time you have your PV or an alternative ready. If you smoked for a long time, once your are off the tar stick and start vaping, it is easier to resist because you can really feel the difference health wise. Running up stairs again without any effort, not smelling like smoke, smelling and tasting better, those are really tangible things that remind you why it is better not to go back to analogues.

Again, it's no big deal to have an analogue, even a few in an "emergency", you will find many on this forum that have done the same thing. at one point I almost gave up on vaping and went back to analogues because I was getting frustrated with all the fooling around you have to do with a PV when I first started, but there was a lot to like about vaping and there are lots of positives, so I was determined to try different systems to find which one fit my preferences/desires.

P.S. Yes, I found what I liked and stayed with it, kind of like preferring one brand of analogues over another :)

I will fight with fists, or duel with an Epiphone SG. Your choice

Ew...You mean the ones that come in dirt, and mint dirt? They are garbage, almost as disgusting as Cigarettes themselves

Actually, you don't have to turn in your chip. Just throw it in the trash and pick up a new one tomorrow!

JUST FOR TODAY!


And..................absolute abstinence is not a requirement.

But for yourself and for all your friends and family who smoke, never stop vaping. IMHO, if you keep vaping you are bound to save someones life.
