I fell off the vaping wagon last night, quite hard. Been vaping for 3 months now, and recently switched liquids. I had been cutting my own the last two months, noticing no craving for a cigarettes whatsoever. I switched to a supplier bought liquid, Blueberry 18mg yesterday.
At work, it was just not doing it for me. I smoked this liquid earlier throughout the night before my overnight shift, at a large get together of friends with people smoking all around me. Not tempted once. Didn't even think about it until about halfway through my overnight shift. The liquid has minimal throat hit, but probably more important was the fact that it was only 18mg, slightly lower than my usual use.
Apprently, though I thought i was at 24 mg cutting my liquids, I may very well be cutting them higher than I thought, or else 18 to 24mg makes a huge difference.
Needless to say, I gave in out of fear that I was under-performing and on my way to messing up a number of individual's medications at work.
God it was good though, that cigarette. The first cigarette in months. The feel of it in my hands was what I missed. The instant gratification.
But the smell. Oh god how horrible. I immediately washed my hands, arms, wanted to scrub my mouth out. I could smell it all over me with my new-found nose. Total disgust, but it did the job.
Moral of the story, throat hit and mg count, even slight switches, are very very important. Be PREPARED. Bring a bottle of a reliable juice with you if you have recently switched liquids, just in case it doesn't end up working out for you. It could even feel like it works just fine, but at any point, as I learned tonight, if it's not fully tested for you, it could become useless in a heartbeat.
I learned my lesson today. Don't trust a liquid to work for you until you've absolutely put it to the test!
Or at the very least, always have some higher mg count, maybe something even out of your normal vaping range, for situations of high stress/temptation.
