I'm about to loose it - I WANT A F'ING CIGARETTE!!!!

[suziewright]

Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if using WTA would increase the addiction and desire for even more. I hadn't heard about it before but will do some research.

I also wonder if this is just typical of what hard core smokers go through and if I just keep at vaping these cravings will lessen and eventually go away?

I could have written this. I am following all the advice but it sure is hard. I was a 2 pad for 30 years. Analogue free for almost 3 months!

I personally would stay away from WTA juices. For me at least the nic is the least addictive substance in analogs. When I first starting vaping no matter how much I vaped it never satisfied me. With time this eased and now I vape because I want to not because I have to. I can go all day without vaping and be just fine. I would be afraid it was the WTA that I was addicted to and I would be a prisoner of vaping like I was of analogs. My

Try pink spot vapors. I myself can't stand 98% of juices I try. They will tweak a flavor any way u need it to be. They have awesome customer service. Hang in there. I can't count how many times I wanted to throw in the towel. You will get there. Trust me

Mookie, I guess there is not much to add to this post but to reinforce what everybody else has been saying and support you as much as we can , I've been going through the same situations and listened to everybody here and noticed that most people here have gone through the same experiences that i've been going through and stick to the plan, which is I QUIT SMOKING !!! My family, friends have been a big part of the process, yes they laugh or make fun of the cannon ( Provari w/tank) i use but for the most part have supported me in every way, althought most of them always ask so when are you gonna quit that now?

After 4 months , I can say that I have good days (75% of the time) and bad days and those bad days I get through it by thinking of my son(2 yrs old), thinking how nice it is to get drunk one night and be able to getup in the morning and play with him and not be a mess the whole weekend , how I can sleep sometimes only 4 hrs but I don't need a nap the next day because I feel BETTER ALL AROUND. That F*ing cigarette is not stronger than me, and my will to feel better , I JUST TELL MYSELF THAT I CAN BE BETTER. I have noticed a lot of changes in my personality because of this, I wanna look better for my wife, I want to get fit and play sports again and there is no way I'm gonna let that little white stick drag me back down. Anyways that is how I deal with it.

When it comes to Juices and equipment, I spent over $2000 in the last 4 months, compared to cigarettes, Used to buy them internationally, it would take me approx 3-4 years to spend, IT DOESN'T MATTER because I realized at least for me, that it wasn't the throat hit, the flavor, the vapor or anything else but my Brain , obviously having better TH,Flavor,Vapor helps tremendously, but the biggest Problem we as smokers encounter is the will power , we look for the excuses to go back and smoke, I'm depressed, I'm tired, I just had sex , etc... I enjoyed smoking and I enjoy vaping just as much so for me the money spent was well spent , If I enjoy vaping so much why not try to have the best stuff possible and keep looking for the best stuff possible, keep trying juices although right now I have 5-6 all day vapes and keep trying new ways to enhance this hobby. Wish you the best of luck , Be strong , WE ALL CAN DO IT !!!!

I also smoked mb reds for 30yrs, p m non filtered was what I started on. Stink free for over a month now, all it takes for me if the craving is there, one thought. I Can F'ING BREATHE AGAIN. I sleep better at night, I can smell things, tastes changing constantly I could go on but some things are tmi. And even if all I have loaded is RY4, which I really don't care for it still tastes better than an analogue and that main thought does it for me. Also me being a gadgety kind of person, all these toys and so little time to play...is good for me in a different way, there are worse things I could be up to

When i first read your post i grinned cause i was like you the first time i started vaping. I was obsessively searching for that marlboro flavor, i tried so many tobacco and cigarette flavor that most of them got thrown away that was until i realized that no ejuice would taste like a real cigarette unless they add the taste of paper and tobacco leaves. Lol! Anyway i just tried as many flavor as i can and settled for the flavor that soothed my cravings. It also helped to vape at high voltages, i noticed that a lot of peeps who still smoke analogs are doing 3.7v, but anyway i could be wrong.

dekang menthol 24mg, closest to a cig i have found, also cheap 11bux 50mls @madvapes. been my all day for over 2 years...try it btw, i dont even like menthol but it works

 

[Mookie]

I have gone up in voltage and have several different set-ups now. Juice is starting to taste better. I think the combination of healing taste buds and better mods is what is doing the trick. I am still constantly looking for the "perfect" equipment but knowing me it's really that I've given up one addiction and HAVE to have another addiction - LOL!

Several people have recommended menthol but I just don't think I can do it. I hated menthol cigs. Haven't had a real analog since November but we were out last weekend having a few drinks. Well you know the craving for cigs is real bad when drinking. So I'm .....ing to my husband how I would give anything for just one analog to see if I would hate it like everyone says. He says how about if it was a menthol and I said I would smoke anything at that point. Well he pulls out a pack of marb menthol with 2 cigs in it. He found them right next to our car and picked them up! So I grabbed them and couldn't lite that f'er fast enough! OMG, it was horrid!!! I lasted about 4 or 5 drags and threw it down the sink. I left the other cig on the counter for a few days just to see what I would do. I didn't crave it al all and finally threw it in the trash. Not sure if it was just the analog or if it was the menthol but I never want to go back there!!!

Congrats Mookie. Sounds like you are making some headway. That's probably a good sign. I was a menthol smoker and have tried many of the menthols out there. Many people turn their noses up at dekang liquids but the menthol isn't bad. However, my favorite is the 32mg silverleaf menthol from puresmoker.
