need a little support

[trinity73]

so my crappy 2 piece blackjack pretty much died on me and im going to send it back. i just ordered a new 510 and some liquid from tasty vapor. im excited for it to arrive but meanwhile i just found out that im on academic probation. im feeling pretty down and im on the verge of buying a pack of smokes to hold me over. anyone else been stuck in a spot like this?

 

[navyboym]

I've been in simular spots, but just hold strong! Where I work there are people smoking all around me making it more difficult, hopefully if I get more converts I can bum off their e-cig

Hey, you know what. If you need a few smokes to hold you over, then just get some. It's pretty easy to get back off of them once you get your new 510.

How long have you been vaping? If you only just started I think it would be OK to smoke an analog. If however you have been vaping for some time...I'd do my best to hold out. I know it can be hard and I have gone through it, trust me, just hold out...be strong. Maybe chew some gum, or get a hard candy and suck on it for a bit...chew a straw - anything! ::hugs:: You can do it!

i really shouldnt smoke. i actually quit 6 months ago..but started vaping last week because i was having killer nicotine cravings. sadly now that my e-cig crapped out the cravings are even worse =(

Well if thats the case, just wait for your new e-cig to arrive. Maybe you can try a local smoke shop or gas station. More and more of them in my area are carrying e-cigs. The only problem is that they cost a little more than the online stores, but if you are in bad need of one, it will be worth spending a little more to stay off analogs. I saw a few of them today at a gas station. I don't remember what models they were, but they were 70-100 bucks depending on the model.

I'd try to keep that 6-month string going. You could try some Nicorettes or snus and see if that will tide you over for a few days while you wait for your shipment. Best of luck!

 

[skyward]

what do you mean when you say it crapped out? complete death? there may be hope for a short reprieve

 

[trinity73]

my kit only came with one battery and its just dead..wont charge at all

 

[68stang]

hold out....I would try that snus stuff I never have but it's worth a shot if you can't think strait

I feel for you. I started vaping on Jan. 2nd and was doing fine until my batteries wouldn't seem to hold a charge. I ended up buying a pack of cigs but I only smoked one when I couldn't stand it. I eventually got the batteries to charge (I think I left them in the v-pack and it sucks the charge back out of them). I also ordered 2 more kits so I would not be in that position again, hopefully. Anyway, I didn't buy any more and am back to vaping full time so whatever you need to do to get through, you can do it. Sorry about school, it is rough but will be worth it. Good luck and keep posting, lots of helpful folks on here that will help you make it.

Go get a job at "smokingeverywhere" at your local mall, that should hold you over. haha im kidding, you dont want to rip people off.
On the more serious side, i totally agree that you shouldn't buy a pack of smokes. Most likely you will be dissapointed with the effects of a anolog cigarette. But if you do buy a pack you may be like me and just really not like cigarettes after vaping for a few months. good luck.

 

[butchrobotpope]

If you do buy a pack, you run the risk of smoking the whole damn thing. Maybe not in a day, but over a week? Who knows?

I've had the occasional analog and I was surprised how terrible they are. Once you break away, the romance is gone. At least, that's my experience.

Good luck!

If you really fiend for some nic and are a bit handy, you could always take a 9volt battery to your atomizer. I wouldn't suggest it, but if you aren't going to keep it....it may work. I would definitely suggest only short bursts of energy at that high voltage though...if you could find a way to wire regular batteries to equal the standard voltage of your vaporizer that would get you through just fine.

There is something in that "job at smoking everywhere thing". Just go down and "try" their product...every time they have a shift change

Trinity, I hope you are still holding out and avoiding the analogs! If you have not yet picked up a cig then PLEASE buy some gum, or nicorrette or snus!!!!! BE STRONG!!!!!

If you have already picked up an analog then don't beat yourself up about it. DO ask yourself "was it really that great?" Did it actually taste good? Was the satisfaction it gave you (if any?!) worth the cost of the pack? Was it worth smelling like an ashtray? Was it worth that one extra step towards lung cancer? Aren't e-cigs better?

Hope you stay "on the wagon" or, if you DO fall off, get back on again!

 

[trinity73]

dont worry im still going. its true that even if i bought a pack of cigs i probably wouldnt like them. so im gonna tough it out through the cravings till my 510 comes.

 

[Adam_S]

Hang in there, you got it! Wish I could e-mail an e-cig...

hold out....I would try that snus stuff I never have but it's worth a shot if you can't think strait

Snus would definetly help you through. Snus is kinda like nicorette, it comes in a pouch, it does not make you spit and to me works better than eni. I think it tastse great.

 

[Libertysf]

I hear a lot about Snus, where can you buy it, any tobacco shop?

 

[trinity73]

they do have snus at my local wawa..it kinda creeps me out though. it seems too much like chewing tobacco to me.
