Me an my wife quit smoking monday of last week got our little starter kits an havnt smoked a single cigarette since but she still has worse cravings then I do she's been a smoker for 20+ years an ive only smoked for about 5. Right now we're struggling she's wanting a stronger hit that our little halo triton isnt giving her, an the juices we've bought have all tasted like crap course she says my taste buds are worse off then hers, but not all juices have been bad we really enjoyed the ones we got from halo just the local smoke shop ones have been crap. And im struggling through this cause everything ive vaped I guess is the right word , (yeah we're both newbies to all the terms lol) has tasted fine then got bland after awhile an we've been taking constant drags off these things the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed pretty much. An if you hadn't noticed im horrible with introductions jus dont know if we should invest ina mod an all that crazy stuff or these cravings will pass in time.

This is how taste receptors work, I would suggest to change your juices a couple of times a day (for example - tobacco/fruit/mint).
How much nicotine in your e-liquid? 18mg nicotine should work.

Congratulations on quitting and welcome to the world of vaping!

My advice is to have at least 2 atomizers/toppers each with a different flavor. It helps with 'vaper's toungue' and keeps things more interesting to boot! Welcome to ECF!

Congratulations!
Mint added to any flavor helps me...
Good luck to both of you!

Welcome Dredy
Agreed, change your juice's up throughout the day.

Hello and welcome

Vape on

I welcome you to the wonderful world of ECF!!!

I also would suggest a higher nic strength and switching up flavors throughout the day. I started at 18, had to jump to 24, stayed there for about 10 months and started fooling with diy. I have been up to 30-36 myself, just during high stress times. There are a few decent shops in WV, but are you anywhere close to the VA line? I could suggest a few places... PM me if you need to, but just know that even though you may have tougher days and easier days, it is totally worth it!

 

[Dredy]

Thank you all for the warm welcome an support. We have nicotine mgs ranging from 12 to 24. Should she get stronger than 24 I have my cravings but they still are nothing compared to how bad she feels an wants. Cig sometimes.

Many people (possibly most) don't manage to give up straight away. It might take somewhere between weeks and months before you give up the cigs completely - it was 3 months for me.
Don't beat yourself up if you don't stop immediately - what's important is the 18 or 19 cigs you didn't smoke rather than the 1 or 2 you did.

I can understand that I used to smoke menthol cigs an thanks im looking forward to the extra money we'll have.

 

[Dredy]

Once again id like to thank everyone for the support advice an warm welcome I enjoy vaping a helluva lot more then I did smoking.

 

[Jeff462v]

Congrats ! And the hardest part i think is finding a flavor you like and will stick with !

I was a menthol smoker for 31 years, and after starting vaping, I discovered that I cared much more about the menthol taste than tobacco taste, and was just addicted to the nicotine and minty flavor! So, after trying a couple different flavors, I found Mt. Baker Vapor's Extreme Ice. It's a very cold strong mint, and it's very reasonable! And it's great mixed into the flavors I've gotten that I hate, so I can use them up. LOL

 

[Huh?!]

Another option that really helped me (pack to pack and half a day smoker for 20 years) was the Aroma ejuice whole tobacco alkaloid infused juice. For me, it had a very good throat/lung hit and eased those "first thing in the morning/after a good meal" cravings. I use the beetle juice as I was a full flavor red smoker, but they make other alternatives. I also have their unflavored whole tobacco alkaloid juice. Just an option based on my personal experience.

Keep at it.
