I stopped vaping...and started agaim..LOL

[Mary Kay]

Well I lasted 4 days! I didn't mean too, I just didn't feel the need to vape.
I started again tonight for no particular reason and I am here to tell you, Peppermint is strong!
I only vape 11mg..right now it's 11mg with 8mg mixed in and it knocked me back. Right now i feel a bit lightheaded, like when I first started vaping a couple of years ago. What a trip!

 

[CatMommy]

Wow MK...I can honestly say that I have never not had the need to vape since dropping the analogs. Is this the first time you've gone that long with vaping?

 

[Mary Kay]

I have gone a whole day and a half before..for no reason. If I am busy i just don't need to stop and vape. I really should go to zero nic. Now I am sure it's just the wonderful flavors and habd to mouth while I am on the computer.

 

[Luma]

Ive been on exclusivly for a month now and I'm going down from 18 to probly a 12.

 

[Mary Kay]

That's great Luma!

 

[ThankU4Vaping]

Luma has seen the light. teehee

 

[Darrigaaz]

That's pretty good MK. You are a stronger person than I, for sure.

I've been trying to get down to 4mg from 8mg for over a year now... For some reason, my mind will just not allow that little step down in nic. I feel panicked whenever I try, even though I know it's all in my mind.

Our vaping habits are very similar Mary Kay. If I'm out for an hour or a day, I don't think about vaping. Really the only time I vape now is in front of the computer and that's not a must. I can pretty much guarantee you that you can easily switch to 0mg peppermint and not miss a thing as I switched to 0mg peppermint 5 months ago. The nice thing about peppermint is that it gives you a nice "pop" especially if you haven't vaped for a few hours, lol.

Interesting, MK. You may recall my own short-lived affair with 0 nic. Maybe it was psychological in part, but moving to 4mg was relatively easy. Something about knowing there's a wee bit of nic there helps me. Good luck to you, comrade!

 

[Luma]

I also using a mod too. although it's 3.7 volts.... it's got a bit more kick. I think soon I'm gonna move to 4mg on 6 volts.

 

[Morandir835]

Ms. MK can't say the same. The nic fit angel appears every time I go more than an hour without vaping, and anything less than 24mg...

 

[SnowDragon]

We must share a connection MK because I just did 2 days without vaping while visiting family and friends out of state. Although I could have vaped I chose not to since we stayed with family, were surrounded by children, or the opportunity just never presented itself.......it wasn't that bad. My body didn't share the same withdrawal symptoms that I had with analogs with one exception, it shared the same return response. The flavors at first were very strong and the nic really hit me.

I wonder if that could be a type methodology for those looking to step their nic level downward? Perhaps stop vaping for a couple of days, then return to the lower nic level and see if your body has an easier time adjusting. I wish I had some 11 or 8 instead of my regular 18.....

 

[Iowa Gal]

Mk I should probably start to cut back as well.... I know you've been at it longer than I have but there are days it seems like my battery is glued to my hand. I think you are right - especially with hubby still smoking it might be good to have 0mg in a couple of your favorites just for relaxation time.

 

[Mary Kay]

Amen on that Iowa! His smoke in the car doesn't make me want to vape or smoke..but I do need to cover up that stink! It's that or hang my head out of the door like my shepard! (and she won't share the window seat).
I like knowing I don't NEED to vape anymore..it's my version of hot tea and a sweet in the evening.
Snow, That is a great idea! I will try some zro nic after being off a day or so and see what happens.
Thanks tracker for the heads up on peppermint!
Luma and Darri, mix the nics..then you won't know what you are vaping! But it will of course be lower.

Maybe you need a new vehicle with a moon roof

 

[Mmc]

Mary k, snow, was the stop vaping for a few days withdrawal the same as the stop smoking cold turkey withdrawal was? I have wondered if it would be easier because your only fighting one chemical addiction and the hand to mouth and not the 4000+ chemicals in smokes

If your vaping habit dies... can I inherit all your beautiful batteries??? You know I'm obsessed with your batt collection... hehehe..

 

[Mary Kay]

Mmc...what withdrawal? I just didn't vape..I didn't mean too..I just didn't reach for the availible Vapor King. 4 days later I did vape again, mostly out of boredom and a little because I was eatting way too may sunflower seeds!

Mirage..you are scaring the kiddies! They feel stalked!

 

[Mirage Hart]

Mirage..you are scaring the kiddies! They feel stalked!

OMG!!! Treating your pets like children is normal (in my book!) but your batts??? oh gosh, MK... even *I* am not that bad!
Don't ya just love it when someone can make you feel sane (even tho you're pretty sure you're not!) hehehe

Well Mmc I can see how the argument certainly could be made although I was never intending on quitting for 2 days. I know that if I were smoking I would have taken a walk or found some excuse to sneak a quick smoke in, but I didn't have that feeling of urgency. It was more of a.....hmmm well maybe later, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow after I get back...type of thing. I certainly was not freaking out or completely jonesing, slapping my arm looking for a vein, upset that I couldn't vape.
