Finally off Dip/Snus/Snuff all because of vaping...Share your story

[SomeRadioGuy]

I know there have been some threadS relating to dip/snuff/snus etc and E-cigs on the site. I will put this out front, I am a former smoker who quit all nicotine in 05, then in 08 fell back into smoking but used snus to quit. Then the pact act made snus impossible to get so I switched to nasal snuff and dip. I did this combo for a few years and eventually toyed around with E-cigs, but the ones found at a general store, it was short lived. I even tried a volt, but wasn't wowed(It's a decent device). So another year went by where I was dipping and using snuff and I finally had it. My gums had it. I was sick of tobacco. Even though I "smoke free" for a few years, the can was becoming a crushing addiction.

Dip, while I never loved, did kill my nic cravings. It was totally disgusting at the same time and spit cups and a mouth full of chaw is appealing to no one. Nasal snuff was fun, but messy and unconventional.

8 days ago, I decided I was officially done with the can and the tin and any other pseudonyms for the awful product. I picked up a FIN e-cig kit and simultaneously ordered a better device, the Tornado eGo-C from Totally Wicked and some juice from Johnson's Creek. I can report with great succes, that since taking my first vape (in over a year), I have not touched a tobacco product in over a week. I feel better and I would like to hope that my gums are healing. I guess the purpose of this post was to share my story of kicking the can with E-Cigs.

I'm also a converted dipper. My gums and teeth have thanked me for it.

I quit snus and nasal snuff as well with vaping.

I do miss f&t high dry toast and ettan Los sometimes.

Congrats! I am just glad to see that others have kicked the can/tin and box with vaping.

Well you did better than my classmate. I turned him on to vaping as an alternative to the can and now he just dies both.

I am definitely glad to see success stories. My boyfriend just started vaping yesterday to get off snuff. He was doing great but now its giving him a huge headache constantly, so we are fighting the battle of nicotine strength for him, and if my VV versus his standard battery made a difference for him.

He might be over doing it. I had this happen initially, but it goes away after you adjust your dosage to meet your tolerance. It takes a few days. The body also has to adjust to the absence of the WTAs found in cigs/dip etc.

You are exactly right. I didn't really pay attention when he got his own battery to see how often he was using it, but when I watched him using my setup, he was so excited that he was chain vaping to the extreme. I warned him he will probably want to drop his nic levels if he is going to use it that much but he wanted to start at high levels and taper down to find his sweet spot (not that I blame him). I don't use mine constantly so I like my nicotine levels high.
He was just concerned that it is so different from chewing that he wouldn't be able to do it. I'll have to show him this thread so he knows he isn't alone!

What amount of nic is he using? I'm currently using 18mg.
