I don't know what to do. I like vaping, I do. I like that I don't have to step out for a smoke. But I'm missing the satisfaction from cigs. Does that make any sense to anyone? Been vaping since February, so four months. I currently vape between 16-22 mg/ml. I love AC..but even that isn't perfect. If I go over 22 mg, such as 24 or higher, I feel very warm...24 is too high. Any suggestions? I sure don't have support here. Hubby would rather I smoke since it's cheaper as I did the RYO thing.:ohmy:

I know how you feel, some days I just wish I could light up because I'm craving them so bad but I KNOW it'll taste like crap and make me sick... and some days I think "Ill just get rid of all my stuff and stop everything all together..." then reality slaps me in the face and I realize I'd go crazy lol.
I don't really have any good advice here, sorry :( I do know how you feel though!

been there felt that. In fact at least once a week but I dont want to go back to smoking at all. I like smelling like a girl and my teeth and gums feel so much better. Honestly since I have been using this 5v box mod I dont have those days as much. This thing has worked everytime I turn it on. I tend to have different all day vapes for different moods. Such as right now it is caramel yesterday it was Coconut caramel chocolate cookie then RY4 or usa mix ecopure. It just depends on the mood. But the 5v I can say is so much more satisfying to me because of the amount of vapor.

Seymour,IN.
I went through it too,we all have Im sure. Some one here,(I wish I could remember) told me to "DEAL With It" It helped. I also switched devices and uped my mg's to 36 and 42. AC never gave me satisfaction. Good strong tobacco did. I too am at the 4 month mark and I dont have the cravings anymore,but I now have LR attys,401,510,808,Lil Chuck,Indulgence,and a "Duracell" So my advice, switch it up as much as you can and keep some higher nic around just for the times you get the cravings.

lilith order some liquid that takes exactly like a tobacco and only use it when you need a real smoke. Thats what i do and it works great IMHO

I do the exact same thing, only vape tobacco on bad days. Though I havnt found anything exact. Halo Freedom was pretty good, but then was a ding bat and sold it...cause I thought I didnt need it. Oops :blink:(anyway)

Think about what flavors your vaping and when...smell and taste can have a very strong correlation with mood(and memory) Might help to have one flavor for this kind of setting, another for that kind, and one for FIA days.

Take a look at your equipment...is it time for an upgrade? Personally the 510's or any 3.1 battery Eh...I needed the higher V, or simulated higher V with an ego and LR.

There is a physiological end to all this...for me vaping is the healthy thing, better for me, better for the kids blah blah.
I struggled with the "just shoot me days" vaping was just too freaking happy and good for me.
Vaping is like one glass of red wine...fine for most nights but when I want a jug of moonshine?
So I only vape tobacco...when it's a moonshine want to kill myself kinda night. (figuratively of course)


Of course there is another way...Is Body Worlds coming to your town by any chance? :evil:

Hey lil, I'm still fighting the tobacco demon myself, so take my advice with a grain of salt.... However, I'm finding that these things are helping me go longer and longer without a ciggy.

1. (as mentioned above) stronger PV's. I've purchased a better battery system (my egos), a bought a MOD (my Saber), and some LR and HP/LR attys.
2. (also above) switching it up. Although I vape the same liquids in my different devices, I have more than one flavor, depending on what I'm craving.
3. I make my own juices. That way I can tailor them to what I need in my various PV's, for different times of the day (ie: I crave sweeter things during the day, and nuttier flavors in the evening, but I'm picky about how I want them to "taste")
4. Additional nicotine boosts. I researched some of the alternatives (check out Tropical Bob's videos. He's very informative... and there is a subforum here too) I decided to give snuff a try (as it comes in different "flavors" too.) Now when I find that I'm really craving a cig, I reach for my snuff. It gives me a little extra jolt, and helps the feeling subside.

I hope that helps a little :)
PM me if you'd like to try a sample of snuff.
 
This torqe 56 from halo was the closest i came to a tobacco flavor until leannebug sent me some Tobacco Absolute flavor ( i guess its flavor =P).

I mixed 2 drops of TA with a ton of loranns english toffee and some of the halo 56 (also started with vg based 25mg nic) and damn is all i can say at this point. It doesnt have all that much TH but that can be solved with a few drops of everclear. Anyway this stuff tastes just like an unfiltered camel and i love it.

Any suggestions? All of the tob I've tried tastes like hazelnut!

My 2 cents, I truly hope I can help.

You said you like that you don't have to step out, but remember if you don't step out, you are drastically changing your habit.

2 things I do:
- I step out, I enjoy getting to go outside. I vape inside while watching movies because I like to, but I vape with/like regular smokers, it helps.

- a high nicotine content makes it so I barely need to vape, but I like to vape 20 times vs get it done in 5 times, I just want my vaping time.
So I make sure my juices are all low nicotine.

Yep, it's flavoring :) (check your pm's shag). I'd be happy to send you some of that too, Lil, JLMK.

UTRose also mentioned another great alternative for extra nic, the snus. Snus is a little packet of tobacco, similar to chew (chew you spit with, snus you don't have to spit). I personally don't like it, because it reminds me of chew. I chewed occassionally in high school, and have a hard time "not" spitting :) YMMV. Snus also comes in different flavors, I believe. I have some of THAT I can send a sample of too. lol:facepalm:

LBug gave a good example....I've used those Camel Snus packs before. Prevaping I quit smoking for a long time with them.
Taste pretty good, and they arnt all nasty(black spit ewww) like chew.
EWW! I hate Snus...it burns!

As for upgrades-I wish I could afford an upgraded mod, but I can't. I could barely afford the Tornado when I ordered it. The LR atty's I got on accident from the HSG order help a bit though.
 
I know how you feel on the money. When i get a paycheck i can send you some torque 56 when i get to send out all these other packages. Ive been lagging so bad :(

Mesa, AZ...off the analogs for years!
Like others I wish I could help with a magic answer.

The two things that come to mind are try to chain vape if you don't do that already (lower nic believe it or not) and change your flavors. Maybe try something TOTALLY different. I'm not sure trying to simulate the tobacco taste is the answer (but of course YMMV). So if you are used to doing coffees, change to fruits, etc.
