Hi all,

I was a moderate smoker for 10 years. After numerous failed attempts at quitting I was finally able to and have been smoke free(not a single puff) for two and a half years. Now that my "AA" introduction is over with....

Recently I've been going through a really stressful highly intense time that has been going on for 8+ months and that urge for smoking started to creep up. I was introduced to a non-tobacco non-nicotine e-cigarette version called Smoke NV in hopes to take the edge off without restarting "real" smoking.

So far I'm enjoying it. I get the mental stimulation I missed the most without any cravings.

Two questions to start:

- I've noticed that my sinuses run a lot and sometimes my ears ring slightly. This has started decreased with increased use. What are your experiences?

- The one part of smoking I miss the most is that feeling of the smoke rushing down your throat into your lungs. Smoking the vapor to me is more like smoking an ultra-light cigarette which I used to hate. Which e-cigarette would you recommend(non-tobacco non-nicotine version) to mimic this?

When I first started my sinuses and throat got very dry. After upping my fluid intake, that stopped fairly quickly. Most will suggest a 510 or eGo to start. 510 is closer to cigarette size, but has shorter battery life. eGo's are closer in size to a short cigar, and has significantly more battery life.

I would suggest e-liquids with a 60-70%PG/30-40%VG blend. That way you still get a pretty good throat hit thanks to the PG, but the VG will lend to make more vapor.

Yeah, I had the same problem at first even with an eGo (though eGo batteries are still my main PV btw). Better juice and probably a low resistance atomizer but for that your going to need a eG0 battery or better. Just keep at it and read and learn and try more things. Not everyone takes their first vape and never smokes again even if there wasn't the learning curve and crappy gear that folks often begin with. If you really don't want to smoke anymore could also try something like SNUS which is a little packet of tobacco you stick in between your gum and lip. Not gross like dip.

I am only on day 12 with no analogs and 100% vaping. The first week I did have a lot of dry mouth (I was drinking a ton of water too), after the first 5-7 days, my mouth seems to have adapted a bit. Going great so far. Just make sure to drink a ton of water!

I agree with the others, more pg..60 or 70% and 40 or 30% vg. Have you considered a 3.7 Volt high milliamp MOD? It would allow you to use Low Resistance Cartomizers...Hotter vape and XL 510 Carts last a good while. Try 36mg mostly PG fluids with tobacco flavors. TW has some great tobacco flavors but quite pricey. So all in all I would get an affordable Mod like a 510N wich will accomadate a single 18650 or two cr123's (6V), for a really warm vape and big throat hit... Good luck and by the way... I'm a friend of Bill W. also. Keep comin' back!!!! richie
