My husband's trying to quit!

[Catmom]

I know the Women's Room is generally a non-e-cig area, but I can't think of a better place to post this. In fact, I can't think of any other place I'd want to post this. I know some of you have been where I am or are still where I am.

I've been vaping for 9 months, and had my last analog almost 8 months ago. My husband has shown some interest in vaping, and I make sure I always have cartos filled with his favorite juice, but I'd pretty much given up the hope that he'd be able to quit smoking altogether.

Today he started asking me more about whether I could tweak his juice for him. We discussed changing the percentage of flavors, or increasing the amount of flavor, or adding sweetener. Then he casually mentioned that he's going to try to quit smoking completely, and he wants stronger flavor. I don't have any nicotine, and I don't want to buy any, so he's going to stick to ready-made juice while he's quitting. I think he'll stand a better chance of succeeding with nic. He had it in his head that he needed to get off nicotine. I reminded him that I was vaping for 3 months before I got off nic, and it wasn't even intentional.

So anyway, good vibes appreciated!

Yay! Sounds really promising! I'm glad he realizes that he can use the nic for as long as he needs it. Lots of good vibes headed your way.

He wasn't making much progress until this week. But he ran out of cigarettes yesterday morning and he hasn't bought anymore. Woohoo!!!!!!!

WooHoo! maybe this is it (fingers crossed)

 

[classwife]

That's a great step in the right direction !

That's awesome!!!

He did break down and buy two packs (but not a carton!) and he's generally having 4 or 5 smokes a day now. Still a big improvement.

The flip side is that I'm spending a lot more time mixing juice and filling cartos! LOL

That sounds like really good progress to me, Catmom. Good for him!

Sounds like he's moving in the right direction. Yay!! have you thought about adding just a little more nic to his juice? Though it took me 6 weeks to fully switch over (even with the nic level that was right for me)

 

[Catmom]

Unfortunately, he can taste a difference in nic vs non-nic juice, and he doesn't like the taste of the nic. He's using some, but he switches back and forth between nic and no nic. And analogs. But he's smoking less, so it's still good.

wonder if there are flavors that hide the taste of the nic better,or maybe your DIY flavors are better than the nic flavors you're buying. Either way, smoking less is moving in the right direction

Oooh!! Maybe I can just add some sweetener to the nic juice. That might help. The final version of my apple pie juice has a drop of EZ sweet for every 5 mL of juice. I'll have to try that with the pre-made stuff.

Good luck to your hubby Catmom. He's moving in the right direction.
