Congrats on 4 days and welcome to the forum @RacheX.
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eliquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Welcome to ECF!
If you have the right juice and vaporizer quitting is relatively easy. If you feel any kind of cravings, you might want to take deeper inhales and up the nicotine level in the juice.

Thankyou. I'm quite excited. I was given nicotine patches by my doctor. My Lungs are really bad so it's great that I don't need to take the vape into my Lungs. I'm glad I've got patches because I don't think I've got vaping right yet. I've got blackjack flavour 7mg which is the only flavour I like so far.
hey there,
im not keen on the sweet taste of most of the liquids. ive got blackjack (kinda licorice flavour) what do you guys like to use? do you have a favourite? I tried the cigarette flavours before and they were kinda ok. That was a few months ago tho when i was inhaling straight into my lungs and killing myself ...so i gave up vaping and went back to cigarettes. Maybe i should try G.V smooth again and see how i get on. xx

Welcome and glad you joined. It takes a while to find your happy spots so don't rush it. Vaping can be tailored to your preferences, when stumped, just post.

Might want to try the search function in upper right hand corner of this post. Could type in "best dry tobacco e liquid".
You are right, you don't have to inhale the vapor to absorb nicotine: Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette
Have you visited your local vape shops? Most will have flavor bars where you taste test all the different flavors they sell.
What equipment are you using? Sounds like you could use something with a more restricted draw to make it easier for you. There are two types of vaping, MTL, mouth to lung and DLH, direct lung hit. Most smokers are MTL, and with your issues, I think it would be an easier transition for you with something more like that.
Welcome, @RacheX ! Everyone has their own pace and their own sweet spot, keep on vaping and you'll find yours. Just remember NEVER beat yourself up if you can't quite let go of the smokes - it's about the cigarettes you DIDN'T smoke!!!
