I've been on and off smoking or dipping for 17 years since I was a teen. Every time I've quit I've turned to $1 black&milds (or later swishers when the blacks got too weak for me) because I can buy just one (that lasts me 3-4 smoke sessions) instead of a pack of 20 or a whole can of dip. A denial type "not really a smoker" thing I guess because I usually get pretty hooked on swishers.

Sometimes, back in my 20s, when I've actually quit, drinking would always be my trigger and I'd think ahh I'll bum some from whoever, which turned into I'll buy this pack have a few tonight and throw it away/give it to a friend, which turned into keeping the pack, then buying packs daily pretty quick. Somehow, with vaping I'm past the point where drinking can be a trigger, I'm happy with my diy 12mg juice.

My trigger these days is mornings. I've been vaping now since june and getting up for work on weekdays 4 out of 5 days at least finds me stopping at the gas station for a strawberry swisher before I go in. Why the mornings?

I've just recently bought a vv2 clearomizer and really really liking it for driving/busy vaping. I used to use a dual coil carto for that. If I'm sitting still at my desk or at home I direct-drip onto an atty. I had an idea today about getting another VV2 and label it all up for mornings or a different color vv2 or something and mixing up some 24+mg juice for it, get me to stop going to the gas station.

I should mention that I have a goal of getting down to 0-nic juice. Is strong stuff in the mornings just going to get me vaping strong stuff all the time? I was vaping 12mg for a while until I got into diy juice and my 1st diy batch of unflavored base was 18mg for my wife, I was too lazy that day to make 12mg base for myself so l I just used her 18mg and got pretty hooked on it for 2-3 weeks. I've just in the past few days got back down to 12 again.

Edit: bahh! Just saw the 5 page thread from yesterday about 0nic I should have posted in

Get yourself some 24mg like you suggested. I think that will help you get over the morning super craving. Mornings are the worst. Maybe you just need to decide to not get the swisher and live with the uncomfortable feeling of the craving because it does go away. it took me a while but now I don't even reach for my PV until I've been up a good half hour or so. sometimes longer. It sucked at first!

smoke the swisher guilt free or kick it to the curb.

You will not be the first or the last to need something stronger for that morning rush. There is nothing wrong with that some even go up to 36mg for first thing in the mornings, just watch that you don't od yourself on nic.

Some also say the WTA juices help them. I haven't used them so can't tell you anything about them.

the higher morning nic could help. i use 24 almost exclusively. nut its really too my h for the whole day. lately I've been tapping my bfs 6mg stash and i find I'm ok with that as long as I'm busy ...watching a movie or working. the point is using different or higher nic wont nesicarily make you a nic ho. but it might give you what you need sometimt.
