I have a REO, but the only other vape gear I am actually using right now is my eRoll and Joyetech Ecab (which I love because it's one of the few "cigarillo" sized ecigs out there, and iMHO, they are just super pretty looking. I mean really gorgeous, black and red is nice, but white and silver with light tips is real nice, too. And of course, I love the soft pink.
I have disciplined myself not to need or want huge and vast amounts of vapor that I did need the first few months I was vaping. The reason is I do not want to vape forever, so I have moved to the littler stuff now that I'm over 2 years in. Low nic, just something to twiddle around in my hands, keep them busy, so to speak.
Really, I'm totally satisfied at this point and I am pretty sure my lungs couldn't even *handle* high watt vaping or huge amounts of vapor.
I also felt like I was not getting "over" cigs real well when I was vaping that way.....I experimented, it seemed that my lungs were accustomed to taking in large amounts of *inhale* and one day I smoke a cigarette about 2 years into vaping......just one....and I was very very suprised that I was still able to inhale a cig w/out coughing and choking.
So, I decided to move my body and habit and dependency along more gentle routes, I dunno if this makes sense or will work for others but it has for me. there are days now where I literally can't "take" the hits I get on my REO.......its just too powerful.
Understand, though, my aim was always to use vaping as a way to quit smoking but also quit vaping as well, so I have very slowly ratcheted down, down down everything little by little, and that works for me, I just feel less dependent on getting these huge amounts of vapor into my lungs, I don't need that anymore to be satisfied.
That said, the eroll hits like a freight train, when used *properly*. A small hit, then you can take a long one......prime atties well before using, etc.
I was amazed when I got the eroll that it hit harder than my starter kit using an ego + clearo back in 2012
PS I cannot speak for others, only myself, but I have experimented quite a bit with my own psychology and body, not just with smoking/vaping but with exercise and diet restrictions. The key for me has always been to very slowly change my behaviors........I have read many books on habits, about how the brain can reprogram and I believe one can *habituate* oneself in any way one desires...but it does take some time and some discipline. And it has to be done slowly IF you do not want to be uncomfortable and using "willpower".
I have found that alll that bunk about willpower just sets you up like a rubber band strung between 2 fingers. try it. as you spread your fingers the rubber band becomes much tighter and there is more pressure on it to spring back to wanting to be "loose" ... hope that makes sense. So that pressure is actually hard on me, I mean, I can't comfortably accomplish anything when I am feeling pressure and/or anxiety.
So, willpower is something very hard, which is why a lot of people can't quit cigs, food, vaping, couch potato-ism using willpower. It is too sudden and jarring.
If you read about how the brain forms habits and patterns, then you can apply to your own behavior..it's all brains, not just my brain. You slowly wear a "new pathway" in there.......and it does work. That is what all behavioral therapy is based on.
So, little by little I just vaped less, and less nic, and less hit, and less vapor......but I am talking over 2+ years.
I can go out all day now, on errands, and forget to even vape. I am habituated to not use it like a pacifier anymore. I can actually enjoy when I want to, but I don't *have* to .
I hope this makes snese and not suggesting or saying it will work for anyone else or that anyone else should even have same goals as me.
(cuz I'm sure if this can be taken wrong it will be
)
All habits, dependencies, addictions and poor habits can be changed, but IMHO
slowly and over time.........and gently. That is why all the diet books don't work, etc. They don't get it. I need to write a diet book LOL When I wanted to lose 50 pounds I did, but I only cut out ONE thing and sometimes only that one thing for weeks and weeks. Once I got used to not having that, then I would cut out one more, and so on. I did not rush. BUt I did get used to not eating fattening stuff, I just forgot about them over time because I was not all at once DENYING myself of *everything* I liked. Who can overcome that? few people that I know!~ You can't put yourself into an avalanche situation like that, it hurts too much LOL
It s the Zen thing that a droplet of water, over time, can wear away a large boulder.
