I am vaping a lot more than I used analogs. My analog usage was very little, being the homemake/non-bread winner in the house, I was only allowed to smoke 50$ a month, that's less than 10 packs a month. I had to smoke outside and I never smoked in the car. NOW, I vape in the car, in the bedroom on the computer, watching tv.

Does anyone else vape more than they smoked?

Yup, way more. I pretty much vape constantly. Sitting at my desk at work, driving, watching movies, listening to music, at the dinner table...everywhere. I used to smoke maybe 25 analogs a day, always outside or in my car. I can pretty much vape anywhere, so I do. I would have done the same with analogs but you know how that is nowadays. That being said, I feel way better without the analogs and probably only go through about 1.5 - 2 mL of juice a day dripping an eGo. It's a win-win for everyone, really.

I also am vaping more than I smoked. I was averaging 3 packs a week. Now I am going through about 3ml of juice a day with mg's from 18-36, depending on what juice I am using at the time. For work, I like the higher levels, but at homeI can get by with a lower nic level. Sometimes I find myself vaping just for the taste of the different flavors.

I vape a lot more than I smoked - used to be a little over a pack a day. When I started out on a KR8, I used a little more than 2 cartos per day, so a bit more than 2ml of juice. Now I use 4-5ml. But I have decreased the strength from 24mg to 6-12mg. My habits have completely changed -I pretty much vape whenever I want to now, rather than having to take a break.

I did. it'll take sometime to get ur choice of flavor and PV. I am sure it'll be in control once you do that. Experiment a lot by exploring variuos choices of liquids and stick to few. I usually stick to pure tobacco choices and after experimenting a lot I feel get better and better. Now I usually vape once in 30min-1 hr.

So far I've been able to keep to roughly the same schedule as I did smoking my analogs, I just don't have to go outside to do it when I'm home. I will say I probably smoke slightly more with the PV though, at least it's a strong possibility. Personally even though it's not an analog I'm trying to keep treating it as such, because I doubt I'll want to do this forever either.

So are we consider normal? LOL ... it seems like we r more hook on this habit than smoking..
If some health studies come out proving vaping can cause some serious damage to our bodies.. LOL..then we r so dead! :p

hahahaha!! :D That reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where they were all eating what they thought was 'low cal' ice cream and gaining weight.

I vape more because I did try to limit the amount I smoked. I don't know the cost of cigs where you live but here they're about $8.00 a pack. Plus for the health and stink issues. It's nice for a change not to worry about it. Plus when I vape a lot I don't crave analogs.

I made an effort to not let vaping escalate my nicotine habit. I don't vape constantly. Often I leave the PV in another room where I used to go to smoke and when I want a vape I get up and go there. At work I did start vaping at my desk because the warehouse is cold but I set it down and don't vape constantly. I bought PT's in case of battery emergencies but I do not use them - they are just for emergencies.

I am a fairly low-willpower person but my goal is to lower my nicotine usage lower and lower until I can vape as much as I want. Haha

Yup!

I'm vaping three times as often as I smoked but I don't mind. I never cough or have phlegm in my throat now and my emphysema is gone! No more wheezing or pressure on my chest when I lay down for bed:)

I'm just gonna reduce the nicotine slowly and stay at 6 mg for the rest of my life. My husband smokes and going without is not an option for me. I need this crutch to stay cig-free. I'm not a strong person.

I probably smoked about a pack, pack and a half a day depending if I was buying or rolling my own. I don't know what I put when I made up my banner, I was just fooling with it trying to get it to work.
