My 1st week.

[Catfish]

Well it's been just under a week with my 510. Still trying to get used to this thing. I think I've finaly learned how to puff on it properly. It just doesn't hit like an analog, but I'm getting better. Also found it to be more of a continuous event. Can't just hit it once an hour like a smoke. More like every 10-15 min I need to take a few draws off it. Still having about 5 analogs a day, but way better than 20. I think when I find a juice that suits me things will be better. Ordered some peach and applewood from BWB, should be in today or tommorow. Got some tobacco flavored stuff now, but since it really doesn't resemble an analog I think a more fruity juice may be what I'm looking for. Haven't had any bad cig cravings, though every hour the thought pops in my head that it's time for a smoke. Just the habit. Anyhow, I'll keep at it. Thanks for the support.

Good luck man. I noticed at first it helps to take it slow and ease into it. Not just huge hits like an analog when u need ur fix. And if u have to get stronger juice and ease yourself to lower nicotine. And it gets easier.

It sounds like you're moving right along and getting the hang of the learning curve that goes with vaping You're right. Once you find that special flavor that keeps you satisfied, you'll be able to kick the rest of the cigs to the curb in no time. The thoughts do seem to linger for quite some time, but eventually, it will be to automatically vape instead of smoke. I hope your BWB order has exactly what you need and congratulations.

Hey catfish, I don't know how others are doing it but I find with the ecigs you can not just take one draw from it like a normal analog. I just watched the videos on youtube on reviews of different items and I saw that they take multiple draws. I tried it and it works great. I do a 3 draw tech, as for the 2nd and 3rd draw taste and feel the best. Basically the first draw is just to primer/warm the ecig up, then while you are exhaling the vapors through your nose take another draw from the ecig for a couple of seconds then inhale then exhale through your nose again and as before take a draw on your ecig while your exhaling from your nose then inhale. I don't know if your getting the mental picture of it but it works great. Give it a try.

Congrats on knocking out your first week. It will get easier and you will find a technique that works best for you. As kenji mentioned may want to browse through a few youtube videos if your still unsure

Don't try that at 6 volts like I just did - cough - at 3.7 volts it's fine. There are techniques for how to draw on an ecig - this is one of them. Good luck - you came to the right place to learn everthing you could hope for - regarding ecigs!

Congrats Catfish on your first week! I find myself in a similar situation as you...I've also cut back from a pack a day to 4 or 5.and am starting to breathe better and generally feel better.I too am still looking for the best juice that i'm happy with and will probably try a lot more until i am satisfied,but that's half the fun right? Good luck to you!
