Is more vapor what helped you quit smoking

[rob33]

Ummm...do you think the "barely vape" thing might be a big part of the problem? If you aren't using the gear for whatever reasons what do you expect out of it?

I feel your pain, on high stress days or times I would back slide sometimes for weeks. I did this from 2008 to about a year ago when I got an rda. Until then I was using 36mg or higher. Its not the vapor for me I do enjoy flavor. I did go through the gambit of offerings as they became available up until then. Now I'm using 8-12mg it was a more efficient atty that got me totally off analogs. Mind you, I'm fully aware that I'm getting no less nicotine and have not cut back, I just don't need the analogs anymore.

Mine had nothing to do with vapor and/or flavor. The trick to me quitting completely was willpower and WTA.

Ive got great gear good juice and I still cant kick the sticks and barely vape :-( Im so frustrated. My coworker who was smoking twice as much as me almost completely quit within the last week and ive been trying this vape thing unsuccesfully for over three years. Ive always had really good setups too

Sometimes it just comes down to want and determination. I am NOT saying your are, but make sure that you are being honest with yourself and not just looking for an reason to need a cigarette.
Up your nic to 36mg, or higher. If that doesn't help, try hotter and or more vapor.
Don't give up and Good Luck

Does any one else find they get more satisfaction from the amount of vapor/smoke rather then the nic?

Not really, for me it was about the throat hit and getting sufficient nic to keep cravings at bay.

for me it's a combo of both.

plus, i like to take short, hard lung hits and still feel the almost chewable texture in my mouth and throat from the dense vapor.

i vape in the 80 watt range with 50mg/ml juice.

Holy cow. You rock 50mg juice in a dripper im assuming if your doing it at 80W. What atty, build are you doing this with. I find anything more then 3mg to much in my drippers, I use 5mg in my Kayfuns. I usually use my Plumeveil or TOBH at about the same wattage as you with a .4 OHM build.

I did notice that I wasn't satisfied if there wasn't much vapor. I'm not talking about clouds but when I started in 2012 with cigalikes and high pg juice it didn't satisfy me. When I switched to 50/50 and the vivi Novas, then I was able to quit smoking.

I'd suggest instead to try some more flavours, some are better at simulating a satisfactory smoking experience, and it's pretty personal.

Definitely not more vapour. I was a pipe smoker and chugged out smoke like a steam train. What got me straight away was the good mouth feel of the tiny amounts of vapour I was getting from a cig-a-like (better when I added vg to the cart), the hand to mouth action, pleasant flavour and of course the nic.. I knew at once that it would work for me.

The single biggest thing that kept me vaping was finding a flavor I liked. If you don't like the taste you won't vape.

I started on a $20 pen style device and my daily cigs declined 80% the first day and mostly stayed there. A week later I got an N mini and spinner battery, still smoking 4 cigarettes a day.

My start was rocky. I was having lots of peculiar withdrawal symptoms. The liquids made me slightly queasy for the first three weeks. The nic level I thought I needed gyrated up and down. After six weeks of learning to vap I let my cigs run out. That day I bought an Atlantis with IPV 2s mod. I've settled on a 12.mg 50/50 coffee flavor. I rotate the Atlantis, N mini and an Egrip with RBA. I haven't bought more cigs in the couple of months since.

I gave a brother who still smokes an N mini, an Istick, and 30ml of my liquid on Christmas day. We stepped outside for a smoke. I smoked one of his cigarettes (and never took another) to make the point that I'm not a smoker any more. I've lost interest. There will be no relapse because I would rather vape. Get to that place, I told him, and you're home free. Before we parted on Sunday I could see he was vaping for the nic.

He reports he is is using the setup, smoking just a few cigarettes a day and excited about the prospect of becoming a non smoker. Decent equipment, the right liquid, realistsic expectations, patience, mentoring, it all helps. Vaping addresses relapsing. That's what makes it a game changer.

No, "smoking" flavors is what helped me quit smoking.

For me it was all about the throat hit. I use 100% PG. No cloud at all.

my builds are typically 4 wraps of 24 Ga A1 kanthal around a 3mm mandrel. 2 in parallel. 0.19 to 0.26 ohms depending on how tight and how old the build is. wicked with either KGD, sesheido or cellucotton. been rocking that on a pair of lp reo grands with nuppin' attys wide open for everyday hustle. same build on a zenith v2 clone with authentic copper ring atop a scottua the copper for relaxing at home.

really, mod and atty don't matter a whole, whole lot. there's typically subtle nuances between them. what really matters is the build and wide open air across the top of the coils. though, the copper rocks it pretty hard. mellows me out quite a bit.
