Have you had 'Panic' when you switch from analogs to vaping?

[Fishtec]

Alcohol is the killer for me give me a few beers and a social situation and the jitters kick in and a vape doesn't seem enough at times

My anxiety went through the ROOF! I had to go on an antidepressant. Turns out I had been self medicating with cigarettes. Everyone is different though. Good equipment helps. Some need more nic, some less. Some swear by WTAs (whole tobacco alkaloids) or NETs (naturally extracted tobacco) juices. Changing habits, replacing rituals works for many. Keep researching & trying different things until you find your sweet spot. Smoke analogs during your journey, if that's what you need to do in order to function. The true miracle of vaping, IMHO, is that when you DO find what works, it does work. I wasn't one of those who "picked up an ecig & never looked back". Those are the extremely lucky ones. However, when it did finally click for me (well over 3 months in), I know what they mean. I'm glad I stuck with it & didn't give up hope. I tried all of the above, but for me, oddly enough, it was "prettying up" my gear that worked (well, along with the Celexa, lol). How weird is that? Just keep at it until you figure out your triggers and how to deal with them. It IS easy when you find the right combination. Getting there OTH, can be a real

Isn't it weird the grip that smoking has on us.

The only trigger I had like that was when I lit the grill a few weeks back. It was always my favorite smoking time, out by the grill just drinking a beer and tending the firebox. I kept feeling my pockets for my cigarettes even though I had my vape in one hand and my beer in the other - it was a weird anxiety like I was missing something. I live out in the sticks so going into town for a pack of smokes is not only a decision, but one I have to reflect on for about 30 minutes - and this really helps me not cave to those cravings.

I still get the odd feeling of anxiety that I never used to have before, but I think it's more battery anxiety now...

This exact same thing happened to me last night. I have been vaping for a little over a month, and last night was the first time I grilled since vaping. I use to love having a cig and a beer while grilling. I got through it, but it's funny how certain situations just bring the cravings back even when they are gone most of the time.

As for the original question, I get anxious and almost panic attack like when I have too much nicotine.

maybe your nic is to high what mg are you using?

I won't say I have panic, but there are those times I may feel antsy, I then go from 12mg to 18 mg
