I Vape Too Much !

[katz-in-boots]

I am getting through about 4-5 carts a day! Constantly have a shorty battery charging somewhere, as soon as one has charged the next one needs it, and a new carto every battery change. It's really noticeable lately because I'm vaping one flavour (mmmm, Nuport) and refilling, so I really know how much I'm getting through.

When I smoked, it was 25-30 per day. We all know that one carto does not = 1 pack of 20, but even using 15 per cart as a guide, that's about 60-75 cigarette's worth a day. That's a lot of vaping and it's soon going to be as expensive as smoking. Not as bad for me perhaps, but lately I've started wheezing & coughing again - and that's not good.

I think that once I stopped thinking of vaping as a replacement for smoking, and started to enjoy vaping in its own right, I have let things get out of hand. Not working at the moment doesn't help.

I think I need to cut back. I guess I could try upping nic level, though I don't really want to.
Gee, are there any alternatives out there that could help me quite vaping? Oh, wait ... .

Ms. Katz 4-5 cartos worth a day isn't too bad. When you hit 15ml a day, then it might be a problem....

As long as your refilling and not using new cartos every time its okay.I refill my carto about 5-7 times a day.Its only alot if your only buying prefilled cartos and not refilling.

Katz... my dad is at about the same level - we both started vaping at the same time. He spends a lot of time in one place watching TV etc. and is home all day so can vape whenever he wants. I think that is the difference between him and me. I can vape at work if noone else is there..but that's not all day. Maybe try a higher nic in a different flavor throughout the day and see if that helps. Not to worry....it does beat smoking the ciggys

How can anybody Vape too much???? I start when I get up (about 5:30-6:00 a.m.) and quit when I go to bed (about 11 p.m.). I have at least 10 cartos all juiced up and ready to go at all times. I also refill as soon as I start getting that Hot taste.

This blooming Pass-thru is just too darned handy when I'm sitting at the computer! My batteries catch hell when I'm outside doing chores!

But hey, I'm vapeing Nobacco spearmint juices, so I should be good to go!

Back when I was a smoker and working construction I always carried 2 packs of smokes (one in each shirt pocket) and in my lunch box I carried no less than 2 packs of extra smokes with me just in case I had to work Overtime. Ol habits die hard!

I understand her and if she is coughing ,its too much .I vape too much also if i dont think about it ...who needs that much nic?
I think it may be that you do need more nic level so youll use less .If my nic is too low ,i use it alot more .I am at 18 and use about 1.5 cartos a day .[[/I]but i want to step it down ,was not supposed to be a new lifetime habit for me .

hmm... I've been noticing lately that nuports are leaving a dry patch in my throat that is making me cough a bit, too...
but with being on the go all day with a PT in the truck... I'm not even AWARE half the time that I AM vaping... and usually I have both the PCC and a carry case (I adapted it, and instead of 2 batts, and 4 carts, I use the batt slots for extra carts, bringing THAT case to 10 PLUS the 2 in the PCC as backup) I've found in an 8 to 12 hour day, I'm going through 5 - 9 carts each day (syringe refilling when I get home)... and when I smoked, I was about the same amount as you were katz... have you noticed a dry spot in your throat as well? maybe hit the water more often (I'm trying that now)?

Chances are you will vape less as time goes on. Right now you are trying not to smoke. As you lose the need to smoke..you will be more able to control the vaping. Get to that place first.
At first I made myself a fake e-cig to hold between vapes. I had a dead auto batt..so I clean out the insides and filled a blank carto with flavored P.G.. That helped me a lot!

hmm... interesting idea MK! My last order, I stepped down from 18 to 11 with the hopes of eventually cutting down to zero nic... been wondering how to break the hand to mouth thing though...

I find, if it is in my hand, I'm vaping it, if I put it in a drawer or pocket, it cuts down on the chain vaping.

Katz that doesn't seem too bad to vape 4-5 cartos a day. If you're vaping because you like it, go lower on the nic. If you are vaping for more nic get some higher nic cartos. Some days 18mg just doesn't get and I need that 24mg or even 36mg. I've found a prefilled carto can be vaped twice on a shortie or once on an XL. The carto will probably burn if it's put on a king the second time around. I smoked 2 to 5 packs a day of the menthol 120's for 30+ years and still cough up a hair ball now & then. It's going to take a couple of years for lungs to heal. Smokers don't use the bottom portion of their lungs and I'm breathing better all the time. The amount of vaping seems to be decreasing by itself, but I have no plans to quit. If you want to cut back or quit maybe you could try timing yourself between vapes.

nor for me. I wasn't looking for a new hobby, but for a while there it became one.

No dry patch, it's deeper in the chest, a wheezy cough. I was wheeze/cough free for a while there. More I vape, the worse it gets. Drinking plenty of water too.

Very true. My biggest mistake is now I'm allowed to vape indoors, sometimes I'll sit watching tv with it, bad idea.

I don't think I want to up the nicotine. I'm only on 4mg at the moment. 0mg didn't work for me, maybe one day, when I'm at work again. I think it's a combination of not working & being bored, and just really enjoying my Nuport.

Well, if 4-5 carts a day isn't so bad, I guess it's only a matter of not overdoing it at night, see if that helps the lungs.
