Ok, so I really need some input from those of you familiar with the tobacco flavorings. I'm recently having a battle with wanting analogs. Most mornings lately, when I get up I am just wanting a nasty cig. All of my luscious flavors are just not doing it for me right off in the morning.
I've tasted wyatt earp as well as maxboro (something like that) and those didn't do it. I guess I am wondering about the less liked amongst the tobaccos, because I guess I'm not really looking for a pleasant taste, but more like a nasty cig. (though a mild nasty cig.)
Thanks in advance...
Hi Sheree! I know exactly what you're going through. I still miss cigarettes a little everyday.
I've read this entire thread, and I think it's not so much about the nicotine level. But more about the flavor, the nasty taste, the overwhelming feeling/symptoms of putting something very unhealthy in your body, and mostly the habit.
For me, quitting smoking was more about changing habits than changing from smoking to a PV. I still craved that nasty taste with my black Peet's coffee in the morning, and after meals, etc. It's a mental barrier that I've broken through, but it's still tough from time to time.
I recommend the purecig like many of the others. It's pretty damn good.
But I'd also suggest American Spirit, Wins/Ton, and Pall Mall. I alternate btwn purecig and American Spirit all day, and it does the job. I have some more Wins/Ton on the way, and I enjoy the Pall Mall, but I it has a sweet backnote that keeps me from vaping it all the time.
Again, I think nicotine content is not necessarily the issue. Many vapers actually ingest more nicotine than smokers. Think about it: all sorts of sweet, tasty flavors, you can do it at your desk, and with a big battery or PT you don't even have to put the thing down.
As a science nerd, I think it's more about the highs and lows. With nic in your body all the time, you don't really feel any reward from using it (see titration). Think of when you used to have to go an hour or two (or many) without a cigarette. That next one you lit up was AWESOME!
Finally, here's what really works for me when I want a real cigarette. I got an LR atty on one of the CyberMonday specials. When I need a cigarette, I drip one of the above flavors on my LR and hit it hard. I immediately feel satiated. If you have a variable voltage device, you might ignore this advice or crank up the voltage.
Note: I use 510 and an eGo and 18 mg juice. I switch to 12 mg in the evenings so that I sleep well.
Good luck Sheree!
