It's my binky and I use 36mg juice. I feel fine. I go thru probably 4-5 ml of juice a day. I'm just getting off analogs and I need that level, for me anyway. Maybe I'll cut down later and maybe I won't. I really don't care at this point. I was an accidental quitter and I feel SO good now. I can breathe, I can smell, I can walk upstairs.

everyone has this problem ..... lol ... trouble starts when your on 36mg juice and you cant put it down

my hubby (a non-smoker) is laughing at me because it is always in my mouth or hanging around my neck waiting to be puffed. He is the one that found and ordered my first one. He is so proud of himself for getting me off cigarettes. He tells me all the time I better order more at the rate I'm going I'll be out in a week. lol :)

Boy do I know what you mean! Cannot put it down, don't want to! I also am an accidental quitter, but this vapor (for me) just gets better and better. The devices get better and better, I really liked cig smoking (43 years), but have not even looked at a cig in months. Please just don't take away my smoke juice! I was a nico junky before and am one now, so what, the doctors don't tell you to get off nicotine, they tell you to get off tobacco. There is obviously more to it than that or we would all be happy with 3 or 4 patches! I feel SO MUCH better, and really enjoy my new "bad habit"

There's SO much more to smoking than just getting the nicotine fix. I tried the patch but the only way I'd be happy with it is if I could roll it up and light it. :p I want (need?) the nicotine ingested the way I'm used to getting it. I want to hold it in my hand. I want the draw. I want to feel it in my throat, chest and lungs.

I remember reading some stats a long time ago about all the habitual things and the time spent with things that go along with smoking. How many times one brings their hand to their mouth a day. How much time is spent not only smoking, but doing smoking related things such as buying cigs, searching for the lighter, cigarettes, emptying ashtrays, etc. It was phenomenal. Then there are the rituals associated it. After a meal, after sex, as a reward when a task is completed - on and on. Years upon years of this makes it one hell of a habit to break.

This is why I think the e-cig is an absolute God send - miracle even. It takes care of those things unlike the approved NRTs like the patch or gum. My goal is to step down the nicotine level to 0. But even if I don't I'm still way ahead of the game health-wise.

I have been practicing medicine for 14 years. I have not seen a modern medical miracle as promising as the e-cig since the advent of .......

I recommend judicious use of the e cig if trying to quit analogs.

I read in a book a few years ago that a lot of people have a hard time quitting because it's often the only "me time" they get in the course of a day. This goes double for people working long hours in factories or the service industry -- they spend all day doing things for other people, and it's nice to have a 5 minute break in which you do something for yourself (even if it's horrible for you), and step away from the stress and chaos of a normal work day.

My husband stopped smoking a year before he joined the military, then took it up again because having a cigarette in your hand was the only legitimate reason you could have for sitting down and doing nothing for a minute.

Is it any surprise it's so hard to quit?
