new here...struggles day one

[PennyLynn]

Thanks all...picked when I am off work but with a bum knee from a work fall so sitting here bored to death great timing to try this..LOL as a nurse supervisor i work like 50 hours a week normally.. but I can so this!
1. don't think i was vaping enough was a smoker that ran to door smoked fast( in New England a habit to stay warm) and repeat often...so need to vape often.
2. YOU are right about a pack NOT smoked today that's amazing
3.I Sat in my chair with foot up gave orders to kids as they cleaned smoking spot up that alone is encouraging....
4. Thanks all any more ideas are welcomed keep re reading these.

Yes! Don't even wait til you crave....this method takes longer for the nicotine to hot you. You can take a hit or two, then pick it up in five minutes for two or three more.

Congratulations on a big first step sallydee!
The real trick is finding a flavor that you don't want to put down. If you have a vape shop nearby with a tasting bar, that's a good way to find that flavor.
Best of luck to you.

I purchased my Cool Five yesterday. 12mg/ tobacco flavor. Years of 1 to 2 pack a day smoker. Anyone else were you nervous when you started like here we go again....another attempted. So far I like the taste, smell, the feel of it in my hand. Out with friends last night and smoke about 4 by bed time....this morning out of habit up made coffee walked to deck smoked before i knew it. Its three hours later sitting here tapping my feet and vaping and want a cig is this normal? Please Ideas on how to make this work. ?

You will get the hang of it; don't worry;
there are so many options with vaping, that it can take a while for you to develop into a pattern you are happy with; for example, you might discover a particular set of eliquids that you like.

it's like cooking; with experience/practice you figure out how you like your eggs - fried, boiled or poached ? or maybe scrambled.

I'm one of those people that, if I allowed myself to smoke at all, I knew I would never quit. So, I made up my mind that this would work. It did. That's not to say there were never any rough spots, but I just vaped my way through them. They seem to come and go for a while.

And by the time I started vaping, I already hated cigarettes and everything that went with them--coughing, throat-clearing, the stench, the stigma, the expense. After ~45 years of smoking (about 2 PAD for a decade or so), I'm free now. July 2nd was my two year anniversary. I couldn't be happier!

I was a die-hard smoker. If I can quit, you can, too. Good luck, and keep on vaping.

howdy - and welcome! you can do this - cut yourself some slack and breathe (you will actually start to enjoy breathing again)

the key to making it work, in my experience, is making sure that whatever device/ setup/ nic/ juice you are using, it is a replacement - not enough nic? get higher nic level (you can always work your way down)... not getting a good enough 'hit' - may want to look at airflow/ coil on device - the tech is advanced enough - and affordable enough today - that you can make the switch and never look back (and feel good about it!)

remember, changing a longtime habit is a process supported by a commitment - you have the commitment, you can do this
