I was just wondering if you had any, you know, data. Or just bare assertions...
If it's bare assertions, go right ahead. I can't argue with those. But I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Cheers!

My mom has COPD (It's what they call emphysema these days), she never smoked or used any form of tobacco. Both her parents were heavy smokers, smoked in the house and smoked in the car with the windows rolled up during the winter when she was a child.
So yeah, secondhand smoke never hurt anybody. /s
I find it fascinating that people are edited for mentioning drugs here, for fear of discrediting vaping, but you can wander around saying "Smoking doesn't cause cancer! It's a government conspiracy!" all you like.
Not much you can do but point out that it's just an inflated sense of persecution masquerading as a theory. Nothing resembling evidence whatsoever.
This stuff makes me bloody angry. Lie about the moon landings all you want - nobody gets hurt. This stuff is real.
Sorry to hear about your mum.

You lost me here. Why are you falling back to ad hominem, when he's asking a direct question on a subject you're claiming superiority over?
I'd like to see the information, too, because we as a group could use it to defend from the second hand vapor nonsense that's being trumped up right now.
I'm way behind and haven't read the whole thread, so apologies in advance....
Having read lots of newbie posts, I strongly believe that how much nic a person "needs" to satisfy cravings while avoiding negative consequences is very personal. What works for me may not work for the next person, and vice versa.
To all the new vapers: If you find your vape unsatisfying, consider increasing your nic. If you find your vape too harsh, or you find yourself getting other undesirable side effects such as headache, insomnia, etc., consider lowering your nic. Accept that you may spend a little more on juice, when you're just beginning, to find your sweet spot. If the 24mg juice has too much nic, you can always get some lower nic juice in the same flavor to dilute it.
I smoked about ten Camel Blue/Lights per day for 15 years. Even 12mg nicotine was too high for me. I went to 4-8mg juice very quickly, and I've stayed in that range ever since.

Throat hit, as I think many have mentioned by now, is affected by many factors. Power/wattage (which is also being adjusted with variable voltage) is one factor. The juice can also be a factor: How much nicotine it has, how much PG it has, etc. I can't vape juices with PG, and I vape very low nic, but I can still get more throat hit from Alien Visions' "Gorilla Juice" than from Velvet Cloud's "Mewlew's Magic." I like both these juices, for the record, but they "hit" differently, and I base my vape on what I want at the moment.
For some of us, it does. For others, replacement is gradual. Don't judge yourself by the results other people get, but count every cig not smoked as a victory. Based on your other comments, I think you get this.
A couple of suggestions for new vapers:
All vaping is dehydrating. Drink lots of fluids while you're vaping and after you vape.
Try a lower nicotine level. Nicotine can cause a burning sensation when it is too high.
Some people, such as myself, are sensitive to one or more common ingredients in e-liquid. Propylene Glycol is the most common, and the one that causes burning & irritation for me. I have to vape max VG juices, and mostly PG-free. If you have been hydrating yourself and testing nicotine levels to no avail, you may want to test yourself for sensitivity to another ingredient. Search the forum for more information on how people have performed challenge tests on themselves.
I often feel like a leper while enjoying a smoke anywhere outside, especially whatching my kids at the park. I do it anyway, it's ridiculous to think I am harming anyone. I do feel rage! It's outrageous- telling me I can't even smoke outdoors. Anyway, it won't affect me as soon as get my vape mail.
I love smoking
P.s. I always found analogues to be very dehydrating, is vaping worse? I don't actually have my PV yet, so....

Wow, OK. Like I said I found stinkies to be very dehydrating, if vaping is worse, I better really stock up on water. I had heard that vaping was bad for it, but I really didn't think it could get worse than cigarettes, thanks for the info sorry to hi jack the thread a little... Carry on

Hadn't smoked a cigarette since Sunday morning. Just went to get my haircut at my regular spot. It was just me & my barber who has smoked for 40+ years.
Damn that place stunk.

Congrats on the quit. I had to get my car steamed cleaned after I quit smoking. Within a few weeks of my sinuses clearing up I could barely stand to drive the thing. It reek to high heaven. Seems your sense of smell is coming back nicely.
As far as I can tell, all those nifty clouds are partially composed of water from your body. Drink up!Like I said I found stinkies to be very dehydrating, if vaping is worse, I better really stock up on water.

It's been 7 days since my last cigarette. My eureka moment was when I learned how to inhale. I can get as much nicotine into my body as quickly as I could with a cigarette. & sitting down, taking long drawn out puffs is just as relaxing as sitting down with an analog.
Congrats on the vape BCRich, inhaling techniques varies from the different devices used. Some need to warm up first before you vape to get the coil up to steam and nice slow draws are recommended. Some gear once the button is pushed, one can vape right away in any manner chosen. Last smoker I let try a vape on my Stingray mod with the flashi atomizer, with a Magic Mundy wire build, was not prepared for the amount of vape and flavor he got, he took a big long deep draw, and coughed it up a couple times, made him stager a bit. I grabbed my mod quickly in case he was going to fall. whoa, cough cough, that's cough has flavor. He had just vaped at about 20 watts and was not prepared for the volume of vape that was produced.
Any ways, good luck on your continued success and...
Vape long and Prosper!!!
