getting bored...

[Kremppie]

I am not trying to be negative, but I am really getting bored with vaping. My daughter quit with me, and went right back to smoking. I am just really missing smoking. It is 100 outside, and that is where I would have to go to smoke, and I don't really want to do that, but something is missing. I don't have any real cigarettes, and don't plan to buy any, but I want to get over this hump.

Help us figure this out.

What do you use? Gear, juice, etc. I had a VERY bad night about 25 days in...so I shopped online and ordered juice. You can do it...but the smoker part of your brain will give you a million excuses when it decides you should have a smoke. Thankfully, vaping has made me not have those moments nearly as much as when I went cold turkey.

to many juices and devices to get bored unlike cigs

I have the Provari mini and regular, a silver bullet, and vmax. I also have several of the ego style battery type. I have a vape store in the city I live in. I have tasted and tried before I have bought. I have also bought on-line, but not as good as what I have bought in person. I am not looking for an excuse to smoke again. Maybe I went to zero nicotine too soon. I forgot about vaping most of the day. Then... I went outside with the hubby and he lit up. That first light up smell soooo good. I guess that is where I started having a problem.

 

[Kremppie]

Agreed...and I felt like that until today. I just need to get past this point and move on. Thank you for responding.

I don't know what your vaping with, at what voltage, etc. , but you may wanna try turning things up a notch, like higher voltage or lower ohm attys and/or a harsher type juice, something that packs more of a punch.

Sounds like you went to 0nic way too soon. Also maybe look into WTA juices. That is supposed to help the cravings if regular nic juice doesn't help.

I had a problem kind of like this when I started. I liked the juice I had, and my set-up wasn't too bad ( though I did get bigger batteries around that time too.)

It was on a weekend, and I was cleaning and stuff around the house, and feeling rather frustrated. I had my 510 hanging around my neck, and was using it often enough, but I STILL wanted to go outside and have a cigarette. I couldn't understand it.... Then I realized, what I wanted was the BREAK! A reason to just sit down and do nothing for a little while. It had been the same way at work a couple times too, and now I understood it.

It was so easy after that for me, and I hope this helps you

Hang in there, it will pass. I second the get some nicotine post. Over 2 years and I am still at 6mg. When I do nothing but zero nic, I still have the urges.

 

[salemgold]

I have been vaping for 2 plus years and I am at 16-18 mgs nic. You really may have tried to get to zero too quickly.

Don't give up and good luck to you

You know the problem. You have the gear...going 0 nic right away is like running into the gas station and daring them to sell you a carton.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I am not ready to go back to smoking, but it is a little harder to stay away from smoking when I am doing it alone. My husband has tried taking a toot on my ecigs, and just starts coughing. My MIL that is moving in with us has COPD, and is in pretty bad shape.

 

[Kremppie]

THANK YOU! I think that is a big part of it, just needing the break from whatever I am doing. I have been avoiding going outside because it is so hot. Maybe I really need to just go outside, and remember that I don't have to go out there anymore.

I agree about the break thing. I was cleaning the house hard core today, and usually after certain tasks I'd "reward" myself with a smoke. I kinda got that feeling today, so I just stayed away from my PV until I completed a big task, then sat down and vaped for awhile. It really helped! A lot of my cravings I know are centered around habits more than the cigarettes themselves.

Teach the hubby it isn't like a drag on a cig! Have him pull into his mouth, then inhale from there. My gf hated her ecig until I taught her.

Along with teaching how to pull on the device, play with the voltage settings and the resistance levels of your cartos. Toss in a 2.0 ohm and drop the voltage. Preferably on a single coil carto. Duals really give me a punch in the throat whereas singles give me that big burst of flavor and minimal throat hit. Use a longer drip tip if you have one. Keep the vape cool. It helps with the irritation. I learned that from experience. This is why I love my VV device. I can really crank it up when I want the hit, or turn it way down if I am letting someone try it for the first time.

As for your cravings, keep some 12mil juice in a tank. When you get that urge to smoke, pop the tank on and take a few puffs. It really helps to "zap" your system with some nicotine. That's what helped with my cravings. I started on 24 and am now down to 12. I have one tank with 18 in it for those times when I get frustrated at work and want to go out for a smoke.

I've actually found that continuing my smoking routine but with my pv instead helps as well. I take a break & go outside and toot away on it like I did cigs, chit chat with the neighbors, etc and i find i dont miss them much.

That's exactly what I found out. When I was a smoker I used smoking a cig as a way to stop what I was doing and gather my thoughts.

LOL the cigs? or the nighbors?

 

[Smoot]

My view is this, If I continue to Vape with nicotine for the rest of my life, it is still better than smoking.
So I'm in no hurry to get to 0 nic.
Just my 2 cents
