I've been using my titan tank for a month now, and despite the logic I still find myself getting cravings for analogues, so the way I work it is at work I smoking my titan and at home I smoke analogues but i'd rather jump completely to the titan but its rather hard, I am still craving something and I can't figure out what. I am using 24mg liquid so get enough nicotine and I am getting a good enough throat hit so can't figure out what I am craving.
Hi. And Welcome.
It could be several things. In my first couple months the "hardest" thing I needed to figure out was: how to use a PV enough. It is a very different experience from smoking. You have to pick it up, you have to push a button, each time you use your e-cig. It's not on auto-pilot like a lit cigarette. You may simply not be vaping enough.
The nicotine doesn't get into your system the same way either. It's a slower process than smoking - no "instant hits" of nicotine gratification going on here. So, from what you related, you are only using your PV for infrequent breaks at work, and get home and head right for the analogs... Yup, I'm thinking you aren't vaping enough this early in.
When you get that "wanna cigarette" fit at home, simply try picking up the PV first and see how it goes. After that if you still want the cigarette it's still an option.
I gave myself a three month transition window in which I moved from using the PV more and smoking less. I radically cut down that very first week - from a 1.5 PAD habit to 4 to 6 butts a day. The rest of those first 3 months was a lot of choosing (and brain farts) when "wanna cigarette" reared it's head, between using my PV or having the cigarette. Some times I would have the PV in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and had a mini meltdown making a decision. But more often than not I chose the PV over the analog.
And yeah, the cravings were the hardest at the beginning, became a LOT less by day 90 when I had my last analog, and are barely minor blips at six months.
I would check to see if you need to use your PV more. And you may need to add something stronger in the 30 or 36 mg range for now. Initially I needed a 30 mg liquid on bad craving days.
