I really wanted a cigarette when I woke very early this morning...Saved by the vapor..

[Stuart G]

I woke up and went for my big battery and tank and started vaping. I wasn't satisfied and kept obsessing on a cigarette. What saved me was a cheap little pen e cig with my usual 18mg nicotine. Those little things can give a throat hit with their little batteries and clearomizers. I wonder why it hits harder than the big battery and big tank with the higher voltage. Anyone know the answer to that question?

It may be the pg/vg ratio. What is the pg/vg ratio of the juice you use in your mod and tank. Most of the gas station cigalikes use a high pg which will provide more throat hit. A higher nic level will do that too. Cinnamon can give you the illusion of more throat hit and it is found in a lot of flavors.

I always obsess for a cigarette when I first wake up too. I haven't vaped long and I haven't completely quit smoking quite yet although I am working on it. I smoke about 3 cigarettes the first hour I am awake then switch to vaping. I also smoke 1 cigarette before I go to bed, to help me sleep... for some reason I find it impossible to sleep while quitting analogs, that seems to be the 1 issue for me vaping doesn't help with.

Vodka is your friend! Kidding, kidding! I found that to be the case for me at first. I got some OTC sleep aid, like Tylenol PM, but without the Tylenol. It eventually goes away.

Keeping a clearo loaded with a high nic juice is a good idea too for those moments. I have never subscribed to being obsessed with trying to lower nic levels; nicotine by itself isn't harmful to you. Vape all you want at what level of nic that satisfies you. The goal is to stop smoking, not vape the lowest nic level.

Your body is used to getting a certain amount of nicotine throughout the day. I vaped like a mad man for the first month after I quit smoking at 24 mg/ml, but my one and only goal was to not smoke. I vaped at that level until just recently when I began DIY juice. I am now at 18 mg/ml, but it isn't because I feel like nicotine is bad; it's because I am a cheap ........ Nic liquid is expensive! Good luck.

Wow, the censor is fast this morning! A cheap son born to parents who weren't married...

Do the 2 tanks have the same resistance? Or does the small battery have a 1.6 and the big battery have a 2.2 just a hypothetical question of course. What really matters is you resolved your itch without a smoke, congrats!

I use only Virgin Vapor liquid. Their organic blends have been the only juice that has not given me mouth sores. I'm very allergic to PG. I think if there was some PG in my juice I'd get a better throat hit, but I can't use it.

try putting that little battery clearo on the big battery??

I tried that and the little clearo got stuck on the big battery in a way that I had a really hard time getting the clearo off without all of the juice falling out. The atomizer was stuck deep into it.

I did the same thing too... I just reciently stopped the morning ciggie about 3-4 days ago.... after 6 months of tapering off. was at 2.5 PAD

Heathers Heavenly Vapes offers 100% VG mixes too ( the Purity Line) I dont do well with PG either, causes throat irritation and coughing

I ended up putting the small 650 MAH battery on the big 3.5 ml tank and I'm getting great hits.

I had a similar experience when using the iclear 30s. For reasons I wont go into here, I put the 30s on a little ego 650 and thought, Wow this thing vapes like a beast on here. It was down to the airflow. On my big battery it was quite a tight draw, and on the ego it was an easier draw. If you can relate to that, then try buying one of those 510 to 510 airflow control valves, and put it on the big battery so you can get more air flowing through it.

EDIT: saying that ive just taken a few hit on the 30s which is on my SVD with no valve, so its tight, and its banging out those big clouds.
The battery on a fully charged ego puts out 4.2v so as long as your you pushing enough power on big battery to equal or better the 4.2v it should in theory put out equal or better vapour production.

Glad to know you did NOT light up that cigarette, friend. When I started, waking up was always the hardest. Now, after a few months, the only time I am bothered is when I get a fit of anxiety, or after a particularly big, satisfying meal... though those cravings are beginning to disperse!
