more or less

[redneck joe]

don't have mine yet (will tomorrow) but wondering if you folks use these more or less than analogs? Not quite sure how to measure the two against each other, but maybe someone has figured it out.

For me, I'm thinking I will use less. Sometimes its just the 1-2 hits I want and I'll be good. I have putting out a half and then when relighting it I cannot stand the flavor.

I think I use the e-cig about the same as I smoked an analog, it's really hard to tell, since it doesn't burn down like a cigarette. Many times I will take a few puffs and put it down and sometimes I will puff on it like a pipe, usually when I am on the computer.

Welcome to the ECF, there is a lot of info here and a lot of nice people here too.

Good question - I've been thinking about getting a clicker and keeping track of how many puffs I take in a day, just for grins. Since I can vape in my office, at least for now, I just take a couple of puffs whenever the urge strikes, so I'm using it differently than I did cigs. With cigs, it was rare that I didn't finish one, where now just a few puffs of my VK satisfies me for a while. According to a formula I found in a Nicotine thread in the Health section, I think I'm getting at least the amount of nicotine I was getting with cigs (I go through a couple of cartomizers per day, so around 2ml of juice). I know I'm enjoying the taste a lot more!

Me ... I vape WAY more than smoked. It tastes so much better. I LOVE vaping !!

Does anyone know if blu has resolved their shipping problems? Also, are the blu e-cigs the same/similar to an M401? If so, if I purchase a PCC from blu would I be able to charge my M401 in that PCC? Thanks.

at first I definitely vaped more than I smoked. Now I would say it varies. I too tend to puff 2 or 3 times throughout the day and put it back. So I probably never finish an analog. But in the evenings sometime I have vape sessions where I just puff for ten or twenty minutes.

Initially, I vaped more but after a few months, I just take a puff or two when I feel the urge.

I vape way more then smoked. Mostly because I always had to hide from my kids (lots of dog walking) With vapping I just go in my bed room and crack the window and the kids never know what I am up to.

 

[smokinridge]

It seems to be a toss up for me Sometimes I think I vape more just because I take a hit or two here and there, so it seems like I almost vape all day! But when I compare that to smoking an analog all the way through, approximately 20 times a day 8-o!!!! I think I vape a lot less.

 

[PTJD]

Yep, I vape constantly in the car, way more than I used to smoke analogs.

 

[Wireguy]

Pretty much the same for me. I was a chain smoker, now I'm a chain vaper.

i used to have a cig every hour,,, but after finding out about 6v mods i was able to cut my vaping back to one 5 min vapathon and then forget it for 2 or 3 hours wthout any cravings. but vaping 36mg liquid @ 6v was the key for me.. your needs will vary.

 

[the86d]

I smoked WHENEVER I COULD GET OUTSIDE.

Now I just hit the think all day, and cut my nic to compensate. (1-4ml/ml max.)

Seems like its all the shipping issues were resolved. Mine came in a week. As far as charging it with the M401... I have no clue my friend :-(

haven't got that far into the technical side. We smok ultra lights now so i'm thinking we'll be ok without all the mods/fancy stuff i've read about

interesting on the clicker; you could math out the comparison. I was thinking I would vape less- like you I think I could just step out and take a hit or two and be good.

We have decided to try to keep all on the same level as far as smoking outside, not on the boat, etc. The ultimate goal is do not be addicted to anything ('cept each other) so we don't want to get change habits to make it eassier.

At first I couldn't put it down. Now thanks to 36mg (and sometimes 48mg) juice and my Prodigy or Protege I can put it down for awhile. However, when working days, office peeps are here and I have to use my reg. Joye 510. Then it's back to pacifier mode.

Thanks, Lady for your reply. Apologize tho. Think I posted the question in the wrong area on the forum. Happy Holiday!

I vape a lot more than I smoked. The thing never goes out, so I'm never "done". Could be that I've cut back to 6mg, though. I didn't vape quite so much with 12. Yeah, I think I'm compensating for the cutback. Kinda makes cutting back on the nic pointless.

I am just over 2 weeks into vaping and I am definitely vaping more than I smoked. My wife didn't like me smoking so I ended up going for a lot of 15 minute drives. I also didn't want the kids to see me smoking. I smoked a lot more than my wife thought I did, now I can just walk into the other room and take a few pulls. My gas bill has gone down drastically and my energy level has gone up!
