is Vaping non stop normal and required?

[MichaelOz]

I've been off smokes now for close on 4 days. Well ever since my Joye 510 arrived.

My smoking pattern was like all smokers, have a cig, feel fulfilled then when a craving kicks in, light another one.

My vaping so far tends to be non stop.

I was wondering is this normal? I'm new to vaping, so I guess I would like some first hand stories from you guys. Do you tend to vape the same amount you smoked? Did you initally vape a lot then cut back?

thanks

Lots of us started out vaping non-stop and some of us still do May have to adjust your amt of nic to find your "spot".

You should probably elaborate on what device and strength liquid you are using. Much of that can be the new toy effect.
BTW, there is no such thing as "like all smokers".

I think normal. I really vaped a lot at first, it was anxiety and panic, but now I've calmed down to an acceptable level. Don't worry, vape like mad if thats what it takes to stay off cigs, you'll know if its too much, you'll get a headache.

I cut back quite a bit after my first week. Before that it was non-stop.

Now I vape 0 nic for most of the day and only vape liquid with nic when I feel the craving for a cigarette. (or when I'm drinking )

I have a JOYE 510, really like it, and have 18mg's and 24mg's which I alternate, running some tests.

Wow, this is good to know, thank you BiffRocko.

I started off vaping a little lighter and the more i enjoyed it (better flavors, devices) the more I would vape. I gradually lower my nic levels (started 24, went to 18, then 16, then 12, now im trying out a batch of 8mg bluejuice) to make up for the non stop vaping. I might continue even after 0mg because I enjoy it.

I smoked 3 packs of Kool per day, and my first PV was a "super mini", and I nearly sucked the bottoms out of those poor little batteries. I just kept trying different things until I finally found the combination that allowed me to put it down for a few minutes. That combination is different for everyone, but for me it was 36 mg TV Butter Rum juice direct-dripped into a 510 atty on a 6V mod. Instant relief!

Normal? god yes, especially during the first few months. Required? nah, but after a while it can be that you don't so much need it as enjoy it. ^_^

Personally I still pick up my ecig at least every 30 minutes to take a few puffs.

As it was said, vape as needed. A headache will warn you if you've had more than enough. I seriously doubt that someone would be able to vape so much liquid that they'd actually overdose. The time it would take to vape that much would make it impossible.

Thank goodness I'm normal! Well at least I vape like normal!

I haven't put mine down for the last 2 months! I made a long trip recently driving. I forced myself to go 50 miles between vapes, I ended up doing 80+mph most of the way

Constantly, no. Quite a bit, yes. It all depends on what I am doing. If I'm sitting around not doing much of anything then it's fairly constant, but going an hour or two without it is no big deal either if whatever I'm doing keeps me from it.

I've been close to 3 weeks without a cigarette and I do vape CONSTANTLY. But I've noticed that when I can't while I'm at work, I don't get quite as irritable as when I smoked. Although I want to vape, I'm not pulling my hair out when I can't like I was with cigarettes.

Vaping non stop is not required, but it is normal. At least for me. Thats why I only buy e-cigs with a very long battery life.

either your nicotine level is to low -- 18 to 24mg for a heavy smoker or 36mg for insane,
or if you are bipolar or suffering from depression you are desperately vaping for the alkaloids that are not there in artificially made ejuice

I was in power vaping/pacifier mode until my first true 3.7v mods - Bartleby and Protege. I think because I was getting more absorption (through more vapor) I could then put them down for a while. I'll go 1 to 2 hours without needing to vape sometimes (besides sleep ;-)

 

[bearscreek]

I'm pretty constant. I think I'm an alkaloid-seeker and may not always realize it, but I have some snus, Stonewalls and even some passion flower and still sit here and vape constantly instead of picking those up.

When I smoked I was a chain smoker going through at least 3 packs a day, now I chain vape lol.

 

[CaptJay]

Im a constant - or almost constant certainly in front of the PC Im non stop lol. If Im out its way way less though. That's also how I used to smoke.
Its normal, not required. vape the way YOU want to vape - if its good for you then its good, right? I dont worry about how other people vape or for how long - the same way I never bothered about other people's smoking habits.
