I can't put it down

[meeems]

I've been vaping a few years now, and the thing pretty much NEVER leaves my hand. I do remember getting headaches when I first started, and I hear from many that I've helped switch to vaping that they initially feel like they are od'ing. I'm not entirely sure what to speculate about that....I've definitely reduced my nic consumption as I've gone along, from 36 to 24 to 18, and now I vape 12mg mostly with the odd grab for the 18 when I feel I need it. I'm personally very sure that even in the 24mg range you're getting far less nic than smoking analogs, but that's certainly not coming from any official testing or anything. I generally hear, and remember from my own experience, that the headaches last a few days or weeks and then life as a non-smoker gets awesome. I wonder if the headaches are actually our body telling us it wants more nicotine?! I get the exact same headache if I haven't had a coffee by 11am. Anyway, yes for sure, like my pack o smokes once was, my case of vape stuff goes with me everywhere and I absolutely NEVER forget where I put it down! lol

Well thats good to know that it lasts two weeks, the headaches, because i'm still getting mine, been about 9 days now.

Everyone says water water and more water, but i hate water and just drink more coffee, not working, so i guess i'll try to force some water down, in between coffees. oh and isnt it cool that you can still drink coffee with these? i thought for sure i'd have to give up coffee when i quit smoking, those two go hand in hand, but nooooo....its too good to be true, i can do both! yippee!

I hate to be preachy because I hate being preached to, but hun, you HAVE to drink water!!! Exhaling PG takes a significant amount of water out of your lungs and you need to replenish it. If ya don't, and only drink caffiene, it's gonna give you hangovers that make your worst tequila and 151 hangovers seem like a joke. If you don't like plain water, drink it at room temperature, and chug it by the liter/quart. When you wake up, drink a liter, pre lunch break chug a liter, get home, chug a liter, thats 3/4 gallon and you'll be set. Or sub it for gatorade. Try flavored water or vitamin water? They're pretty good.

..ahhh crap...okay , going to get a liter right now. can i just guzzle it and get it over with? or do i have to drink slowly and thru out the day? I"d prefer the answer to be 'guzzling is fine'...

I walk in my house with my GGTS as if it's my teddybear.

 

[Secti0n31]

Yeah you can guzzle it. I recommend a half gallon a day total for most people. It'll make you have to go the the bathroom alot but that's normal, healthy flush. Just keep filling up the liter bottle with filtered or tap water (if your tap is healthy). It'll make a world of difference. Good luck! Sorry about the minor rant.

Edit: do not guzzle the whole half gallon total. If you have to "get it over with" try to spread it over a few servings.

Okay groovy, thanks Sect!

I'm glad I'm not the only one... looks like I was right it's more the action for me than the nic.... bad part about that is I'm unlikely to give this up but I can live with that I sort of figure that before I started.

I'm the same way, I'm in the process of going 0 nic now. Can't give up the action though.

 

[***Shannon***]

HAHAHAH.... oh i know, I just quit smoking on my birthday april 6th, and i got smashed on red wine the next night, and i thought for sure i was going to succumb to smokes. but i didnt, not one bit, but that thing was stuck in my mouth like a pacifier the whole nite, and at one point i lost my juice..(because thats what you do when your drunk)..and i'm freakin out...telling everybody to 'stop everything, i lost my juice! find it! , everyone look for my juice!,..it was on the floor under the table...same place i ended up later...heheheh

I am cracking up laughing over here....this is too funny!!!

 

[Secti0n31]

Oh I can drink like crazy without being vulnerable to cigs. But when I wake up my storm tank (4ml) is emptyand I've got no memory of how I vaped it all.

 

[chewger]

I've found it never leaves my mouth when I'm drinking. Now that I can smoke in the bar (it's my usual spot where all the staff know me), I just find it so convenient that I don't have to go outside and light a smoke up and be forced to finish the whole thing. I do, however, still go outside to keep my friends company when they need to go out.

Herbal tea will work too. I am not a big fan of plain water either. But caffeine free tea is a lot like drinking water but way tastier. Celestial seasonings has all kinds of great flavors and I can drink it all day long. I make up a couple of 32 oz bottles of iced tea and drink it all day long. If you are smoking PG then a bunch of honey added to it can help to coat your throat and protect it from the irritants in the PG. PG is a skin irritant and you should help protect your throat with some honey if you can.

Thats what i do for the most part, i use 2, 32oz bottles and put 2 bags of tea in each, fill with water and refrigerate overnight. Good to go the next day way tastier than plain water, and little added antioxodants too.

I have a slightly different system as I do not have the forethought that you do. I use 2 bags per 32 oz bottle, like you, but I pre-freeze half a bottle of water. I rotate about 8 of them. I do this because the big block of ice stays cold longer so I can take it with me. If I want one to drink right then, I use ice cubes. But same basic idea. I no longer drink caffeine at all so I buy tea in bulk. LOVE IT!

I work here in front of my computer so i'm hittin that thing all day long but when i go out somewhere i hit it and put it in my pocket and forget about it for an hour at a time. Ofcourse when i actually smoked i did smoke alot more when i was on the computer anyway.

I remember a friend telling me that a glass of water will help a headache. I mix kool-aid for my kids, but drink most of it. Don't get headaches or any sideeffects from vaping. Coffee is nice, but kills my tummy. Kool-aid packets are great- you can cut the sugar back.

Have been vaping for two weeks now and havent really put it down since. Need to buy extra batteries though. When batteries are charging I am constantly using the passthrough. Loving it!

I am new here so what is a "passthrough"??

It is a battery with a wire that runs to it and is powered by plugging it in, like a USB port to your computer, or possibly a car lighter. Allows you to vape without draining a battery... almost like turning your computer into a hookah.

For instance... this is the USB passthrough I use for my M401 at work and at home when I am at my desk. http://www.litecigusa.net/product_p/m401paskit.htm
