Not quite enough.

[Visinedrops]

So, got my V2's about a week ago, and started the whole vaping process. I decided not to have any analogs at all, using only the e-cig for an entire day. It was just enough to keep me from getting the usual jitters and rampaging irritation, but I still felt like I was missing something.

So, I scrounged a .... from my car's ashtray, which was about a half a cigarette, and lit it up. Upon completion of that ...., I felt the slight tinge of a nic buzz flow through me, and had a feeling of satisfaction, if only briefly.

So, I've come to the conclusion that 18mg cartomizers are just not quite enough in the line of satisfaction, and will probably upgrade to 24mg, which is similar to Pall Mall reds.

Since I'm still trying to figure out everything, and I'd rather not get into the e-liquid and refilling, how do I know what type of battery I have, and what companies offer 24mg cartomizers that would fit my battery? V2 only has 18mg's, but I can special order up to 24mg...obviously this would take longer to receive.

V2's are KR808-D's I believe. I started with blu, then ordered from V2. I didn't give either much of a chance though before returning their kits, but I believe they are KR808-D's.

I think you CAN refill their carto's if you should decide to want to. Their backorder situation was unbelievable when I was a customer. If that hasn't changed, I suggest you do pick up a bottle of e-juice to have on hand. (I actually have a few boxes of their cartos that were unreturnable)

HTH!

from what i understand, you could actually be craving one of the other 3000 chemicals in analogs... upping your nic level may not help. try it, but dont get discouraged if it doesnt work of if the increased nic causes headaches or sweats...

You could try moving up to 24mg and see if that helps. JMO, refilling isn't really that difficult and it's cheaper than buying new cartos all the time. You have to take into consideration that vaping is very different than smoking and you've just removed about 4000 other chemicals from the equation. Part of the "buzz" is carbon monoxide, which doesn't exist in vaping.

Believe it or not, there is still a (for me...minor) withdrawal... due to the other effects. The nic in the juice really helps. A few thoughts....
1) You don't HAVE to go all at once... gradual success is still success!!!!
2) Some bottles of juice to drip into the atty (don't really know about V2s...didn't look it up).
3) Drip tip and appropriate atties.
4) Bigger batteries, and/or a 5v pass-through

If you're still in withdrawal, messing with carts/cartos and crap can just end up getting you to remember all those swear-words you were trying to forget .

Hang in there!! You can do it!

I was a heavy smoker so I started at 30mg & it worked great. I'm now, after 5 months, down to 24mg & 18mg.

I was a heavy smoker, started at 18mg then 24mg, 30mg, 36mg which worked tilll I broke the
thought of smoking an analog. Now working my way back down, diluting some of my stronger
juices back down to human levels.

I found 5V more effective than higher nic content. BTW, what you feel with an analog "buzz" is not nicotine. It's probably the MAOI's. I can chain vape 24mg without the buzz. I refuse to go back to analogs just to feel that.

Prior to vaping (around six months now), I smoked for 25 years. I'm not sure I ever got a "buzz" from a cig, can you describe what a buzz from a cigarette is? I often got a "need a nic fix now" urge and found relief when I was able to smoke, but I cannot recall a buzz.

Thanks

Quit smoking is not an easy thing, but if you insist on it, you will get the success one day.
