I cracked :(

As everyone else has said, don't be too hard on yourself. Say a couple of Hail Marys and move on as soon as your juice gets here.

I keep having dreams where I smoke and I am always do disappointed in myself. Then I wake up and feel really relieved, lol.

Perhaps you have learned the lesson:

Have a backup for EVERYTHING. Batts, chargers, heads, juice. If you don't have a backup, your backup is a death stick.

That's not always an option. Not everyone can afford to have backups and backups of backups when they start out. Many people, myself included, have a limited budget. I wanted to get off cigs and start vaping but my budget would only allow me to buy the bare minimum so I have one of everything and had to make do with a few sample sizes of juice. It takes time to build up enough to have backups for everything. Sometimes it's not a lesson that needs to be learned but a restriction that we have no control over.


As for the OP, sometimes these things happen. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I wish I could buy this stuff around here.....ugh I can get real smokes everywhere but only those crappy ecigs in the gas station......I have to order a larger supply and not run out again......can anyone reccomend an easy ecig to fill with e juice......maybe that would last me longer I go through a cartomizer a day so need to order 30 a month.........

What kind of battery are you using? Obviously you'll still need to stock up on juice, but maybe you'd do better with something like a Vivi Nova or Kanger T-3/MT3? It sounds like're looking for some sort of tank setup. One of the orders I have on the way has 2 MT3s and a Vivi STV Nova. Based on the research I've done on tanks, it looks like the bottom coil setups are preferred.

Seems to me you are looking at this from the wrong end...the point is that you had not used them and can do so again. If i smoke another ciggie i'll not beat myself up about it (the wife will) but think of the time i have NOT smoked them and what an achievement that has been. A repeatable achievement.

I cracked the same way when I 1st started vaping.
I bought a 510 kit from a smoke shop and ordered 10ml of kiwi from rockymtvapor lol.
That 10ml and the 3 packs of prefilled cartos I got from the shop lasted me 2 months.
As soon as I was on my last drop of the kiwi, I bought a pack of cigs.
Didn't come back to vaping after that for at least a year. I was disappointed.

I have gone back to smoking another time since then. But I am now sticking with vaping.
My advice to you? Next time you run out of juice, go for snus rather than smokes.
With snus, you get the full spectrum of relaxing tobacco alkaloids without many of the carcinogens.

It isn't the end of the world...but maybe there's a fellow vaper on here, from around NYC who could hook you up with some juice in the meantime? Come on guys, be nice! Sharing is caring! I'd offer to give you some of mine but I'm kinda a long way away!

I think it happens to everyone. You can learn from this!x

 

[dwolf111]

Thats OK. You just learned that you have to reorder sooner. Keep your head up!!!

 

[StevesCVO]

Like some hae said before, don't sweat it. Even if you smoke every now and again just remeber all the ones you haven't. Some people have smoked a few a day for months until they quit completely. Just remeber to order extra supplies when the budget allows so you don't run out again.

 

[Grimwald]

It's a balancing act, isn't it? I was so worried about running out that I bought 12 bottles of my "favorite" during my third week. Now I have 12 bottles of awful stuff I no longer like. After almost 7 months I have 4 stashes.

1. Current stash
2. Backup stash
3. Zombie apocalypse stash
4. OMG why did I buy this stash

 

[stevefml]

I started ecigs last December. I looked at the DIY forum and started making my own. Lots cheaper and fun.

 

[StevesCVO]

4. OMG why did I buy this stash

LMAO! It still can't be worse than going back to smoking.

 

[xyanide]

Stock up on juice and bookmark some suppliers in your area, I have a good juice supplier with quick delivery and if I really had to I could even drive there. The first 2 weeks I had to resist lighting up a stinker, did that once a day a few times but I went clean after that. It's not a big deal to crack, but just force yourself to vape each time you feel the urge as I found it helps.

I keep having dreams where I smoke and I am always do disappointed in myself. Then I wake up and feel really relieved, lol.

I thought I was the only dream-smoker! I had that in the first few weeks of quitting, I woke up and had a vape .

 

[Apptiger]

Sorry OP, forgot something.
Walgreens carries Blu disposables. I used them a few times before my battery and juice stock got to acceptable levels. They are much better than they used to be. Heard the new Njoy king is not bad as well.

Good luck.

Due to a lack of juice, I cracked. I am down to less than a mL of juice that I got when I ordered my eGo setup. I didn't want to run completely out so I can still enjoy the flavor, but I caved and bought a pack of stinkies. Talk about a rough decision. I really didn't like the feeling of buying a pack. Once I get my new order tomorrow I'll be set again, and will make sure to keep plenty of juice on hand.

I just felt the need to admit this, like I was committing some horrible crime. Thanks for listening.

Hi Michael, Hope your vape mail arrives today. Then you can pass on that pack of analogs to a friend who smokes. Hang in there. The mail is on its way.
