How Do You Pace Yourself

[1HitWonder]

My addictive personality makes it very hard for me to pace myself when vaping. With analogs, you smoke one ciggy at a time. You see how many you have left in a pack. You budget yourself, although you often think you have smoked too many in a day.

With vaping, I have to remind myself to put it down, else I draw on it till the atty gets hot and the battery blinks.

I'm wondering if I should be vaping so much. I'm trying to slow it down tonight by watching the clock.

How do you pace yourself?

I vape a very low nic and do it when I want and where I want and as long as I want. Because the nic is so low, it doesn't buzz me or make me sick. Now if I vaped a higher nic, I could not possibly do it as much as I am.

When you smoke it, take 15 to 20 drags then put it down and try not to pick it up again for at least 30 minutes.

Yep, I use high/med and do get carried away at times.

I really do have to try and start pacing myself.

Must stop sitting at computer and reading forum! This is when I REALLY overdo it...

For some reason with analogs I can do that, however with vaping I am constantly on the stick. My non-smoking friends think I am vaping a lot more than with analogs.

I know what you mean. I just started vaping yesterday, and I find myself holding on to my e-cig for 20 to 30 minutes, vaping the whole time. Then I consciously realize that I've been vaping non-stop and put it down. Analogs have a built-in timer (the length of the ciggy.)

I haven't developed a means of dealing with this phenomenon, yet. It's so damn easy to keep going. I can't tell when I've smoked about a cigarette's worth, so I keep on vaping until I become consciously aware of what I've been doing.

Hopefully someone here has some advice?

Hmmm... I acclimate to the throat hit after 3 or 4 puffs. It usually takes at least a half hour after that for me to feel it again. So I just puff a few times and put it back in my pocket for a half hour or so. No use puffing away if I don't feel it going in and out.

When the cart runs out, I stop long enough to refill.

The cool thing is this....I have some situations I'm in that I truly cannot vape for a few hours or more, and I don't. BUT when I know I get to go vape, it's not NEAR the freak out that I would have can't wait to go have a ciggy. It's just not as strong, so that is one thing I noticed. Must have been the chemicals in the ciggys I was addicted to that made it more intense.

the only way to pace yourself " is to go to sleep."

HAH! epic win

at work i usually take "smoke breaks" 10 min or so every few hours

at home it's usually just a few puffs here and a few puffs there , after dinner..

I don't pace myself at all. I'm vaping way too much, and getting way more nic then I did with my analogs.
I've started vaping a lower dose juice at night to keep from making myself sick.

I seem to always have it in my hand but only puff it once or twice every 15 minutes or so. I never have long drawn out vaping "sessions".
