Wow! Really a guy gives into his graving and vapes to long, oh no get him a Dr. Are you for real? Not like most of us gave into our craving for analogs for years, and we knew they were killing us. Part of Smoking was the ritual you took one out of the pack, light it, smoke it, and then put it out, end of ritual. I used it as a timing method to a degree I light one up when I left the house to go to work. I lit another about 5 minutes from work and finished as I was arriving to work.

This guys worry is not that overwhelming its a pretty simple ritual he fears missing.

I read a post about how some of us ex-smokers are now so high and mighty.... Wow that's all I really have to say about that.

Sounds me like this guy has issues far more serious than chain vaping. OP, you're a good friend for wanting to help him but I believe what he needs is a mental health worker and probably medication.

if you knew him.........

He says he was on the strongest stuff the store had. he lives in a tiny po-dunk town so it was probably a low mg. ill send him some kicker stuff one of these days. lol

Since you were worried I hope you send sooner than later. It's very possible he's vaping like he does because the nic strength in the eliquid he's using is too low.

i was the same way when i started vaping. i wouldnt put the thing down! making the switch from cigs to vaping was a little tough for me. but i got through the initial quitting "hump" and now i am able to set it down and come back to it from time to time and vape.

the way i see it, eventually he (or his body) should feel the satifaction or fullfillment of nicotine and he should take a break. if not, the good news is, hes still not smoking cigs! the road to making the switch is different for everyone. maybe he just needs the time

:blink:...:blink:..um, ...really? I'm sorry I really don't mean to be rude but isn't he a grown adult? I mean can't he .., um, just stop when he's ready to stop? I vape on and off all day long I see nothing wrong with that at least I'm not smoking. Let him know it's ok to vape when he wants and put it down when he wants. My goodness. It would drive me crazy if a device told me ok, now your done you can't have any more because I'm a device and I know what's best for you better than yourself...I think he's stressing over nothing. Tell him to relax and just enjoy himself. Let him know their is no right or wrong amount of vaping time. I mean really. Unless the guy is mental and will make himself sick on the nicotine, in that case he doesn't need to vape smoke or operate heavy machinery..lol.. no really.. he's over thinking it. Have him relax and just enjoy.

Yah, tell him to start at 36 mg juice.

He'll know when it's time to put it down.

OMG! Dammmmn that's high! I'd be passed out on the floor nic sick.

yes. i'm aware of the affects on mere mortals. :D

J/K honestly, i wish i could lower my nic tremendously and get the same calming effect. it would make my juice a lot cheaper. however, what works for me likely won't work for most. has been a quite a bit too much for everyone who's tried it thus far. i'm just special. that's what my mommy says.
