Hello! Newbie here! Well, sort of...

[droluigi]

Hi guys! My name is Dro and I'm pretty much new to vaping. Well, not much new since I have my eGo-T passthru PV for almost a year now, but I never got the hang of letting the analogs go. I seem to have difficulties looking for the best proper vape for me. I still am smoking half-a-pack a day, which has been my standard fare since I started smoking. I can't seem to shake off the need to get analogs even if I tried high ejuices. I also tried different clearos, cartos and attys to no avail. I still smoke. I have been reading the switching forums so I might follow them issues there. Now that I have a clearer mind, I am now set to conquer the demon again that is smoking.

Good luck. I would suggest three things, Variable voltage, 18650 battery and a vivi nova. If that doesn't work then nothing will.

Awesome! Good luck on your quest. One of the things that really helped me was this ECF forum and all the support folks give. It was really nice for me to know I wasn't the only one struggling and that plenty of folks had successfully made the transition. Best advice I got was to just stick with it. It's a marathon and not a sprint.

the biggest part is actually wanting to quit... if your just doing it to do it its 10x's harder to be successful. not all will succeed on the first or second attempt. others the switch is almost natural, best thing you can do is tell yourself its time, and try to avoid having cigs around. if they are there, its almost second nature for a smoker to light up. a little distance from them will also make life a little easier, just like any addiction the first step to recovery is avoiding triggers(for me it was going to the bar, so i just grabbed a six pack and hung out with my bro and played 360) others it may be after a meal or while driving. just try to keep with supplementing your trigger with the ecig and you can get past it.

I feel that, I still crave analogs too. I've only been on vape for 2 weeks now but have not gone analog once since. I just keep vaping until I get lightheaded or the feeling subsides. I've noticed the nicotine from analogs hits much faster than vape, you just have to wait it out and the feeling will pass.

That's very true. Nic gets absorbed differently from vaping. For some folks it helps to have a higher nic strength for those moments (I've heard of folks using 24mg or 36mg) and then going back to a lower level (12mg or 18mg) for all day vaping.

I had similar issues and so did my boss. The kicker for us was equipment that worked perfect and equipment that we thought was cool so we'd want to use it. If I can ever get my banner working it shows the results. lol I have been vaping since 2010 but it wasn't till 2011 that I quit bumming cigs. Good luck.

I'm using a CE5 rebuildable clearo myself. Almost the save thing as a vivi nova. Hehehe.

This is actually weird. Just today, I learned how to vape properly. I used to just suck off vape out of the tip but I just learned that leaving a little air pocket on your lips turns it into a similar to smoking experience. hehe. Guess I was doing it wrong all this time.

And I took your advice, SixFifty. Got a Lavatube, 18650 batt but I went for 510's since I wanted to try drip vaping (and it came stock with the 'tube). Feels so good to finally retire my eGo-T pt ecig which I have been using for more than a year now. Thanks!

the battle between good and evil continues. Good Luck, and hang in there.
