Mixing e cigarettes with normal cigs to start

[labman]

Hi all,

I've just started e-smoking and find it really good, I am down 60% on real fags but still have the few when I have a glass of wine etc. My question is this - If I smoke 4-5 fags and have an e-cig in between to stop me smoking 10-15, am I taking in more nocotine than I would have normally, I just don't know how to regulate the e-cigs, although even after a few days my chest feels better. Any advise welcome.


Cheers


Geoff

Just smoke as many analogs as you need until you totally quit. It won't hurt to mix it up. I actually am taking in more nicotine now than when I smoked analogs since I vape pretty much all day.

As long as you continue to smoke analogs, the tar won't clear out of your lungs. Smoking less isn't really that much of a benefit.

I would disagree on that statement. Any reduction in the amount of Analog Cigs will help you out in the long run.

'sfine, labman. Every e-puff is a hot puff you're not taking.

Since you're concerned about your nic intake, it all depends on what strength you are vaping. If you are vaping a higher strength then you probably are taking in more nic. Again, it just depends on how much of both you are doing, what kind of analogs you smoking, and the strength of the juice. I did both till I was able to quit the analogs (real cigs) totally. Just try to cut down the analogs each day and you'll be alright.

Keep in mind too, it's all just speculation since there has not been testing on how much of the nic we absorb (%) anyway.

You could try doing what i did if you can bear it.

Stop drinking alcohol for the time it takes to get off the real cigs completely.

Thanks for replies all, I don't think i'll be on analogs much longer just didn't want to add to my nicotine addiction even more, but it does seem that many people have got off the analogs by lowering the usage down to zero. I think the more I use my e-cig the more I like it and the less I enjoy the old analogs, they just seem dirty by comparison.
