Heavy smoker, trying vaping

[Baughan]

Im a 32 year old man from the UK, I've smoked for probably more than half my life (started smoking cigarettes at 12, moved onto cannabis not long after that)

For the last 10 years, I've smoked 3.5 grams of marijuana a day mixed in with around 50 grams of tobacco every other day or so. I would put my weekly spend on 'smoking' at around 300-350 a week (Which is disgusting when looking at it from a logical point of view)

My intention was to stop smoking as part of my 'new years resolution' ridiculousness, but bit the bullet and brought the day forward a week to today, its going okay i guess, no real major marijuana wants as of yet.

Anyone else had any success giving up marijuanna based on vaping instead?


My 1st vape (Is it any good?)
Geekvape NOVA 200W , along with an Aspire Cleito 120 pro tank.

I’m afraid this fourm doesn’t touch that subject at all. All discussion here is tobacco only. The topic is actually banned as you may notice from the multiple redactions in your post. You will probably have to look elsewhere for assistance. Nicotine only vaping we can help with, but that issue not so much.

I did wonder why it dotted it out .

We only talk about good taxable drugs here lol

haha...missed the last one - misspelled?

Yeah, it's soon to be a taxable item in my state, but still taboo at ECF. Funny, it's waaaay less harmful than alcohol, which is fine to discuss - but I don't want to risk any disciplinary action, so I'm out.

your gear is perfectly good gear.. very good choices..

www.liionwholesale.com or www.imrbatteries.com for batteries and a good charger. xtar is a good brand.

can't help you on anything but getting off cigarettes, but if you smoke cigarettes we can help you with your nicotine e liquid needs.

check out Halo. They have good juice.

that's all I can think of...

My 1st vape (Is it any good?)
Geekvape NOVA 200W , along with an Aspire Cleito 120 pro tank.

I have that mod, not the tank. The mod was donated to me by Geekvape for the purpose of a review. The manufacturer Geekvape is a respectable manufacturer who listens to customer's needs and has a large lineup of quality mods and juice delivery attachments. I'd say you chose well.

The Nova is a dual battery regulated box mod that can put out 180 watts with two appropriate 30 amp 18650 batteries. I would describe it as a basic and simplistic box design. It's a bit too large for my personal tastes, myself preferring more pocket-friendly single battery mods, and I would have preferred more refined, rounded off edges for more comfort when held in the hand. The buttons are well-placed and clicky. Screen is typical and average. Solid 510 connector. Battery door is magnetic. The decorative inlays are a very nice touch and adds some class to an otherwise bland looking battery device. The few times I've used it so far it provides a very nice vape, and the mod is large enough to accomodate any of the larger diameter (and capacity) juice attachments without any overhang.

WATTAGE PER SINGLE BATTERY on REGULATED MOD:
(Total wattage doubles using 2 batteries; Triples using 3 batteries.)

Up to 45W:

Samsung 18650 30Q, 3000 mah 15 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC6 3000mAh 15 amp CDR

Up to 60W:

LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20 amp CDR

LG 18650HE4 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Sanyo UR18650NSX, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC5, 2600 mah 20 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC4, 2100 mah 23 amp CDR

Up to 75W:

LG 18650 HD4 2100 mah 25 amp CDR

LG 18650 HD2 2000 mah 25 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-24S, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC5A, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR

​

Up to 90W:

LG18650HB6 1500mah 30 amp CDR

LG18650HB2 1500mAh 30 amp CDR

LG18650HB4 1500mAh 30 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-20S 2000mah 30 amp CDR

-If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.

-If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, you're good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.

-If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.

-If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts.

I believe the issue has more to do with the idea that the site is about smoking cessation.

Why we don't allow drug talk

So yes kind of. Useful link though.

 

[Llamasquito]

I've read some success stories on quitting smoking pot with vaping at reddit.
Also i read about one dude who was obese and quit eating candy and other stuff with vaping.
I guess its doable, it depends on you though, 100%.

Good luck mate

24hours in , and other than the dodgy nights sleep, im feeling alright i guess lol

 

[charlie1465]

You might get the sweats for a couple of weeks at night but yeah it's so doable. You'll feel so much more alive and less apathetic....Make sure your nic level is high enough. I still vape 18 mg even in a sub ohm RDA....it's important to satisfy the nic craving.

Perhaps things will change - especially now that the other stuff is legal in more and more places.

over a week in now and i havent smoked, apart from my tastebuds returning and ruining the taste of tea for me, everything else is rosey!

would just like to say for anyone thinking of making the switch from tobacco to vaping , DO IT, AND DO IT NOW!

I'm happy it's working so well for you! Congratulations!

Congrats mate - vaping definitely helps with a number of things, tobacco smoking being the main one. I am actually very impressed you have gone from 50 grams of tobacco every 2 days to nothing.

And speaking from prior experience the sleeping will get easier. If you find it difficult, have a look at CBD vape juice as I have read brilliant things about it helping people sleep. Plus it's perfectly legal!

Congratulations and I'm happy it's working out so well for you!

Apologies didn't realise that 3 letter acronym was frowned upon given that it is the medicinal portion and not the other portion!
