So, ok-soon all my carts ( prefills) will be empty. Can I put on a 21 mg patch and still hold-puff on empty carts ya think? I know, probly a Dr question, but maybe someone here tried it or found yourself in that position? I have some analogs left but get $ first of month, don't wanna go back to full time analogs (nooooooooo!) Thanks. Love this place.

I'm not sure, and I can't recommend something I never tried, but you might be able to use pure glycerine (that says "Glycerine, USP" on the label) if you can find it at a pharmacy, or something. Unless someone who knows this for sure answers here, after you get 5 posts and wait ~1 hour you could ask in the DIY forum...

As a general rule, you should never vape and use any other nicotine delivery system at the same time!

I went through a doctor supervised quit program and they use multiple patches with other nicotine devices like Inhaler, which I think is prescribed.
The patches deliver a low but constant flow of nicotine over time, where the inhaler and stuff gives you a "hit" (more like a smoke but still not as much nicotine).
The mini lozenges might give better hit.
Just watch for nicotine overdose, that is all you have to worry about. Like feeling shaky and jittery.

None of this kept me off analogs like vaping does. But might get you through the week.

If you are near Lake Tahoe / Reno / Carson I can give you some yucky liquid I don't use. I haven't figured out PM but if you do PM me.

You don't want to do that. The cartos will burn, and it'll taste really bad. Don't do that. I suppose if you really have to suck on something, just get a straw. Use the patches until you can afford more equipment. No money is very good motivator lol.

Good luck to you man. Hold out as long as you can without the cigs.

Thanks for the advise everyone! I do live near you Denise, but since I am using prefills the liquid won't help (thanks anyway). Maybe the carts I think are empty really aren't so I'll try to use again and just suck harder, (roflmao).
Doesnt matter that they are prefill. Just put something in the cap to pry it open and under that should be a plastic "O" ring. Take the ring out and drip about 15 drops in the outer part of the cart (where the filling is). U can do that with each cart at least 5-10 times with the rite juice. Never pull if u feel they are near empty cause u will put a hole in the wick and kill the cart. Look into DIY and you will save money also over buying juice premixed. I guess that 30ml of juice is round $3 or less. That should last you all month with a mini, no problem.
