First analog free day, struggling

[ashes to batteries]

So after much help in the noob forum I graduated from the generic ego to a kanger mini subox and decided to put down the analogs for good.

Man. I can't vape in the office and the fact that you obviously don't vape with the same routine or period of time as an analog means in going nuts. I get plenty of satisfaction from my mod, but I don't chain vape. I take a draw maybe every 20-40 minutes. Not being able to do that at work is KILLING ME.

On the plus side, I stopped at the gas station for a pack of cigarettes and stopped myself and drove off.

get a small set up for the office.
take a puff and hold it in for about 5 seconds.
there will be very little or no visible vape.
hang in there.

Unfortunately, it's a very open floor plan and I couldn't do that without crawling under my desk. (There are some nosy folks here)

You now have a urinary tract infection. Seek the bathroom regularly. That only helps for a week or so though. I grabbed nic gum to help through the day. I was kinda a tri user for the first few month after I tried to make the switch from smoking to vaping, which didn't work at first. I had a smoke when I needed. I chewed nic gum during work taking bathroom breaks to vape. I do have an office but my door never shuts. I vaped at home. One day, I just didn't smoke and later I didn't chew the gum.

sorry to hear that.
a dse901 system with auto fire is small enough to hide
in the palm of your hand.
a kr808d1 x/large battery with a kanger t3 clearomizer
with a black drip tip looks like a bic type pen.
just don't let anyone write with it.
the higher the PG ratio the less visible vape.

Higher nicotine strength and higher PG percentage in a tootle puffer, and a trip to the head once an hour would be my suggestion. PG puts off less vapor and a higher nic level will get you a buzz in a couple of puffs.

It is as much a mind set as anything.

I suffered the same battle the first few days.........(WEEKS!!!)... until my body and mind came to the understanding that they would not DIE without a smoke.

By the way, I flipped straight from smoking to Vaping never picking up another cigarette after my first vape. That was almost 3 years ago, after a 45yr. habit.

Be strong, the cravings will fade and you will be glad your free.

Lol! Fake urinary tract infection!

Actually, it totally never occurred to me that I could sneak to the potty to use it!

It was a matter of routine for me as well. It gets better, hang in there.

Be strong and stay the course. Like everyone else said, it does get better. One you are free from the addiction to all the other crap in cigs, the nicotine withdrawls are a minor inconvenience at worst.

If the bathroom at your workplace smells like industrial cleaning chemicals, or even fake-nice like air freshener, whatever you vape in there isn't going to be anywhere near as strong-smelling, so nobody will know. You just have to be concerned about somebody walking in.

Your body is freaking out because you aren't giving it any cigarettes anymore. But that feeling will subside in a couple of weeks, and it gets better from there. Best of luck to you.

I used to up my nic level for work, and lowered it at home. Hope this helps.

You might need to jiggle you computer plug under there from time to time?

Stealth vaping. One method that seems to work well: after inhaling vapor, breath in (air, not vapor) before exhaling. No vapor trail on the exhale at all. I saw this on YouTube. A fellow from England who had an hour commute on the train would stealth vape. Of course, it would require a stealthy setup as well.

Not sure why it's killing you to not be able to take a hit every 20-40 minutes. Were you allowed to smoke cigarettes in the office? When it's break time just go on out like you were going out to smoke a cigarette and puff about 5 to 10 good hits, that should calm the cravings. At least it used to for me when I first started, although sometimes I'd have to take 10 really heavy hits to stem the craving but that was back when I was using things like protanks so the amount of nic wasn't as much as I get now from subohm.

Also use this time to train yourself to not smoke at work. I did that many years ago so I don't even need to vape when I'm at the office (although sometimes I do steal off to the broom closet and take a really deep hit since there is no smoke / fire detectors in there and I'm totally paranoid to set off the sprinkler system in my office), and generally only vape maybe one or two hits during a work week when at work.

I won't even think about stealth vaping at work, my office is shared with a lady (who's husband vapes but she does not) and I can just hear her now... "Do you smell caramel" or "Why does it smell like candy in the office". Yeah my office is only about 20' x 18' and although we're at opposite sides of the room theres no way to stealth vape in this office. If it was a private office then I could see doing it since nobody comes to my office except to ask if I want to go out to lunch with somebody. I'm stuck the one or two times a week in Harry Potters broom closet I guess. No biggie, as said, it's only about 1 or 2 hits during the work week and I could just as easily walk out the building to do it if I really felt the need. I'm just a lazy sod and don't really want to go all the way out the building so the closet will do for now.

smell shouldn't be an issue generally.
some flavors can be quite aromatic. i have heard cinnamon is one.
best way to find out is do a few test runs.

Step 1: Get a really, really small mod+tank setup. An iStick mini or an eGrip.
Step 2: Get a good nic strength, unflavored PG juice. Doesn't leave any lingering scent if you use unflavored.
Step 3: Take a nice long mouth to lung inhale and hold it for 3-5 seconds.
Step 4: Inhale normal air.
Step 5: Hold for 3-5 seconds.
Step 6: Exhale clear, unscented air.
Step 7: ???
Step 8: Congrats, you're' now stealth vaping at work.

I think because I am still getting less nicotine than an analog and I'm missing some ritualistic satisfaction from smoking until a ciggy is complete.
