Welcome to the ECF Emily. I love your hair! A girl after my own heart! I had the underneath of mine pink a few years ago. I mastered the brightest hot pink I have ever seen using the Raw Color from Hot Topic. I bleached the area and then kept the pink dye on for like 18 hours. It was just as bright 4 months later lol. Everyone kept asking me where I had it done. Congrads on making the switch and good luck on your journey.

Lol, thanks Dana! I'm currently red on top, purple middle layer and blue bottom layer. It's like a rainbow is coming outta my head.

Hi Emily & Welcome to ECF! Best suggestion I have regarding the insomnia thing is to vape a lower nic juice beginning a few hours before bedtime. I don't know what juice mix you use but if it's a PG/VG mix (and not straight one or the other) & you miss the throat hit you might up the PG in the evening juice a bit... that's what carries the TH & the flavor. I've played with various mixes for this purpose & had some success, but to be honest since I drink coffee until bedtime my success has been limited. Also I'm retired so it doesn't matter if I'm up 'til sunrise.

Glad you're here... Blessings, & Happy vaping!

I wish I was retired! I use a mix of PG\VG 12mg most the time. I'm actually upping it to 18mg to get a better throat hit. I'll see if staying at the 12mg in the evenings will help a bit. I take Tylenol PM every night which hasn't helped me a bit the last few months.....and if I don't take that, I'm up all night worrying about work and not getting enough sleep.... So eh, I'm a little high strung. Lol. That's one of the reasons I SMOKE! But now it's Vaping and I love it. Insomnia or not, I have no plans on going Analog again.

Thanks for the kind thoughts and encouragement from everyone! I hope I can do the same for all of you. <3

EmilyK, do a little research on Melatonin if you haven't tried it before. It puts me to sleep and I haven't had any adverse side effects in the 2+ years that I've been using it. I only take 1/2 or 1mg a night (or day since I work alternating shifts). I would recommend the vegetable derived melatonin . Hope that helps

Welcome to ECF EmilyK! Glad you found something that works for you.

I am a flavor switcher too. I have two absolute favorites and about 5 others I alternate through when I get a craving for them or to kinda clean my palate so I can taste my favorites again. I also have a hard time sleeping at night but if I cut down on my Vaping or lower my Nic MG for a couple hours before bed I can fall asleep pretty easily.

You'll find a lot of friendly helpful people here and a wealth of knowledge. Again, welcome and Congrats on kicking the analogs!

I used Melatonin years ago but it has no effect on me now....partly because of other medications too. Thanks for the recommendation tho! And you're from PG, UT? Panguitch? I'm from SLC myself. Woo! Anyway, thanks again. ^_^

Well done on the transition to full time vaping.... I go with 18mg personally.... It takes a while to find reliable vaping your happy with, I like my lavatube with a cartomiser, or hopefully my new genesis rebuildable when it's finished!
