How often do you vape?

I am pretty much vaping 5 to 7ml a day. For over 3 months now, no stinkies! after 40+ Yrs @ 2PAD. I switch back and forth between 24mg and 36mg. Mostly tobacco flavors. But do I like to mix juices on the fly too. Once or twice a day I might top off my carto, or tank, with something vanilla, cinnamon or caramel flavored.

It's all fun, great tasting and I feel better.

When available i vape non-stop. (I smoked non-stop when i could also)
When i can't vape non-stop i vape for about ten minutes and i'm good to go for a while. (same was true of cigarettes)

I'm definitely going to try having my 'i need a kick' setup (18mg), and a second 'i just want to toke on somthing' setup (maybe i'll do 6mg?).
I feel it when i vape 18mg like a steam boat. (haha i didn't say chimney cuz it isn't smoke [anyway....]) (I felt it when i chain smoked too)

I definitely feel it's 10% addiction and 90% habit... except when it's 'needed' then those percentages flip-flop. I'm just happy to be off the 2pad+ cigarettes. If i have to vape 36mg like a steam boat non-stop; i'm okay with that, but glad that is not the case for me.

I think the key for me has been finding equipment and juice that: a) i have confidence in b) i have back up for c) tastes good to me d) keeps my mind occupied e) SATISFIES me f) is replaceable g) replicates most of the act of smoking to me.

I'm okay with being a walking air freshener. I was not okay with being a skunk.
My self-confidence is increasing, my health is increasing (albeit slowly), and my attitude/mood has been stable.

I'm only a few days into it, but I'm picking it up as I would my smokes - every few hours. I notice that once my daughter goes to bed, I cart it with me to my computer and vape here and there sporadically, which is what I'd wanted to do with the cigs, but couldn't because I refused to smoke inside. I do vape outside when my daughter is awake. My husband still vapes outside even after daughter goes to bed.

I was a 1pack a day smoker, but I haven't even gone through an entire 10ml juice yet. (It's a 12mg nic I think.) I did have some horrible withdraws Friday morning ... until I asked my co-worker/friend if I could take a hit of her cigarette. I can only imagine the face I pulled as I quickly handed it back and puffed furiously on my PV. :p

I wonder if there's a 'puff counter' attachment out there somewhere? :unsure: I've made it to headache stage a couple of times in the month I've been vaping (12mg). Only now realizing the wisdom of getting a few 0mg juices or both a 0mg and a 12mg of the same juice to cut it down a notch when the chain-vape mood strikes.

I was thinking the same thing. Actually have some 6mg's on order and one 0mg just so I can sit, watch a movie, and vape away. ;p

This sums it up for me. The good part is I can go an hour or 2 without my PV and have no cravings. When I smoked analogs, as soon as I got in somewhere I couldn't smoke, I was waiting for a chance to go smoke.

I was smoking a bit (got down to the equivalent of 1/2 pack a day) at work, but would go nuts at home. Now, discreetly vape at work through out the day, but not nearly as long as I smoked. But the same applied, when I knew i was going in somewhere I couldn't smoke, I had to...made trips a bit inconvenient when there was a 15 minute pause between multiple locations.

At home I vape pretty much constantly when I'm sitting down. However, when doing yard work or basic chores, I can usually go three -4 hours before I start to feel a craving.

I vape all day and night. Only stop when I am asleep. But I only have 3 or 4 toots unlike analog cigs where I would drag for 12 to 14 times in a row. I have found 24mg to be about the right level to kill my cravings and cuts down on the amount of juice I get through. Tried 18mg but just vaped more to get same hit so no savings there

I done the same a couple of weeks back when I was thinking the cigs use to taste better and took a puff of wife's cig. Ahhh it was vile so now even my juice I was getting bored of was great so clean tasting. Have now 4 different flavours I rotate every two or three days. You might want to consider taking your nicotine level up to 18mg if you are getting a craving as there is plenty of time latter to reduce when you are ready
