Nicotine

Dani I was at 92 days smoke free when I had the worse urge ever. It made me mad that after that long I still had cravings. I turned the anger into an all out war against them daum analogs. I put in some 18mg and vaped like a mad man until I was sick, then went to bed and slept it off. I am coming up on a year now and I can still remember that event like it was yesterday.

Thanks, RattlerX, I appreciate your story. That was a pretty rough day for me, and I usually don't have rough days, I'm a smooth kinda gal and don't let much get under my skin. That day was BAD. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I see your clean date is Christmas Eve, 2013, an early Christmas present. You'll have a year in really soon. I bet that's a great feeling!!!

Thanks for chiming in, I really appreciate it.

Yep....Dec 24th
Last year I got back from a trip and my wife gave me a starter set for my b-day (Dec 23rd) to see if I liked it. This was on the 19th.

For a few days I tried it out here and there and then thought.....hey I can do this. So after my d-bay party I put down the smokes and never went back. It is a good feeling and if I can do it anyone can. I smoked 2ppd for 25+ years. I carried my last 4 unopened packs in my truck console for about 8 months. I finally threw them away when cleaning out the truck before I traded it in on a new one.

It has not always been easy and there are still things I do where analogs cross my mind but now days the fleeting thoughts are gone quickly and the cravings are not there. I just grab a REO and some NT juice and I am all set. In fact cig smoke bothers me real bad now. I hate the smell and when I pass someone who has just smoked I can smell it on them. I will never go into a meeting and have the person sitting next to me give me a look (the look that says you stink)...lol

I've been analog free a little over a year and the past couple of weeks I've struggled! I've not actually wanted a cigarette, but vaping this 6mg is not cutting it for me! I alternate between ACB, Cheesecake and Raz Cup (their my favs at the moment) during the day and their not tasting like they used to, and I'm not getting "something" from it like I used to. I feel like it may be the throat hit I'm looking for. I need to feel it hit my throat for it to feel like I'm getting anything from it. Do you guys think if I upped my nic back to 12mg I'd get the throat hit I'm looking for? Also, is their a NT juice that gives a throat hit more so than others??? I've found myself chain vaping and running through juice like crazy!

Tasha I'd say grab a bottle of 12mg, better than a smoke for certain! Maybe see if someone has some in the swaps thread looking for 6mg?

Tasha,

I'm with Megan. Go for a 12mg juice. I went for a nicotine-flavored juice when my bad craving hit, and it worked like a charm. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

xoxo,
Dani

I'm not sure what equipment you're using, with RBA you can raise the coil and drop the ohms a bit to increase TH.

Very interested to hear you share your nicotine reduction strategies... I know several people aspire to get to zero but can't, myself included.

Didn't see this reply since I hadn't logged in for a while.

I used tanks so I could be a little more exact with the ml's vaped in a day and multiply those by the nicotine levels in the juice. With dripping it's easy to lose track of how much nicotine you've taken in, but with a KFL+ I knew that was approximately 4.5 ml's, or an AeroTank Mega was 3.5 ml's.

I would also mix up levels in the juice bottles, partial 6 mg's and partial NZ/0 mg's - I knew that if a bottle was 2/3rds full of 6 mg's and 1/3rd filled with 0 mg, this makes approximately 4 mg/ml, for example. Then multiply that by one Kayfun full of liquid and I was vaping 18 mg's a day (4.5 ml's multiplied by 4 mg's).

It's really tricky since all the juices come out best with drippers, but with drippers the error margin increases in one's estimation. If you still want to drip, you could use nicotine free/0 mg juice for flavors and enjoyment, and vape the nicotine in tank devices.
