Got the jitters

[DaKnight]

Going on the second day with my trusty eGo and only had 1/2 a analog yesterday and half today, coming from abusing 1-1/2 2 packs of analogs a day. Not sure what it is giving me the jitters, withdrawls from not enough nicotine in the juice (18mg) or just mind games from yr's of smoking?
I also get that guilty feeling when I lit up the analogs after trying so hard not to. I ordered more juice but at 24mg of nic. We'll see how that goes.

But I will say this is the longest since I first started smoking that I have been able to be smoke free minus the two halves I smoked.
Feels good looking back being only a couple days.

Hang in there! Sounds more like withdrawal to me. Had to raise my nic from 18 to 24 before I felt comfortable myself. Also, don't be hard on yourself if you feel you have to smoke the occasional analog. Just think about all the ones you're avoiding!

agreed, TW. probably adjustment to lack of MAOIs in the cigarettes.
good plan, knigght... up the nic content. might even keep some 36mg around for extra jolt if feeling the need.
and no guilt! look at all you've done so far toward your goal. enjoy the vaping process... is steep learning curve at the front and gets easier quickly with fine rewards.
congratulations.

Knigght - its really awesome to hear about your staying away from analogs, even if its just a minute at a time. Before I quit all together I used to feel the same guilt, then some one told me about the saying, "I know I'll quit one day, even if today isn't that day." I've been off 11 years now.

The little bit of information one kind find leads many to believe that we don't absorb much nic. while vaping. I happen to agree. I believe the day I put down cigs, I cut my nic intake more than in 1/2. I also vape 24mg still after coming up on 3 months. I figure if I stay off the cigs I got plenty of time to wean off the nic. Heck it's not unheard of to vape 48mg.

Hi Knigght, Welcome! Switching over is a process and everyone is different, so the things we are suggesting here are just guesses or projection from our own experience. Part of the *learning curve* that we all talk about around here includes trying different things ( higher or lower nic levels etc.) to find out what works for YOU. I think it's a good thing to keep track of our reactions, jitters, headaches, sore throat, whatever... Good luck and let us know how you're doing.

I got the 24mg now, I think its working. I love the variety of flavors thats available. Originally I bought some tabacco flavors cause I thought I needed to stick with the theme of the analogs, which I found didn't need to be true in all cases even mine. I bought some fruit flavors and love the after taste it leaves. I never would've thought quiting analogs would taste so good, lol. The people here are great, plenty of help and support. This was definatly worth coming across this forum.
I was looking around for a quit smoking counting banner for my sig area, any recomendations?
