New vaper experience-fwiw

[Gpach]

New to vaping, got my gear a week and one day ago.
I had purchased 2packs of smokes that am. Finished one of them mostly cause it was open in four days. The other pack is still on my truck, with my lighter, unopened.

I have "quit smoking" many times over 30 years but nothing as easy as moving to ecigs.

i think my nic intake is higher but i can reduce in future. The only time i have cravings is in the am.

Good luck to all

You probably won't need this cigs anymore. I gave away 9 packs of little cigars when I started vaping, they sucked actually, but they were cheap, don't miss them a bit.

Hello Gpach! Welcome to ECF and good job on ditching the cigs. Keep on vaping.

I think you would be surprised to find that it is probably not as high as you think

How I learned to stop worrying and love the vape...

In reality, 5 minutes of use led to 1/3rd to 1/4th plasma nicotine levels compared to smoking 1 tobacco cigarette. The new-generation device was much more efficient in nicotine delivery, with nicotine levels being 35-72% higher than those observed by using the first-generation device. In fact, even after 1 hour of use, users could not obtain plasma nicotine levels similar to smoking 1 cigarette in 5 minutes. The results show that nicotine absorption from e-cigarettes is slow and probably resembles that of NRTs.

Welcome and good luck. I still smoke at times well over a years in, but vaping remains one of the best choices I ever made in life.

Your story is almost exactly like mine. 30 years smoking, many unsucessful attempts to quit. Just got into vaping 10 days ago. I find I don't need the cigs. I know some can't get around the need for one or two a day, but trust me, if you can go just two days or so without a real cig, haveing one after that will make you stoned, nausiated, and it'll taste like crap. My daughter was visiting yesterday. She went out for a smoke, and when she came back in, I was very supprised at how much she stunk like an ashtray, lol.

The main thing I keep telling myself now is to not become one of 'those' former smokers. You know... the holier than thou, better than you kind.

Keep up the good work!

My biggest problem with vaping and not smoking was finding a flavor I really liked. I was looking for a menthal to replace my Newports and could not find it. I then got some root beer from MBV and have not smoked since.
