Ok.. I have the vaping bug

[stepiba]

I started vaping a month ago, but until today I have still smoked.... I got the elegant and I must say I am very impressed with it so far....
I know that I can refill cartos and fill unused ones, but what is dripping?
I am sorry that I have bombarded ECF with questions, but I am finally finding that I might actually be able to get this proverbial monkey off my back....

For most this isn't a biggie, but I have been without an analogue since 4ish this afternoon, and I have never in my lifetime including when I got my first e-cig been without one for more than half hour or hour.....

Thanks....


Peace, Love, & Rock-n-Roll

Good for you Stephanie!!

I'll let someone experienced tell you about dripping because I still can't do it. Just wanted to congratulate you on 4 hours without a cig!

Dripping is when you put a couple drops of liquid directly on the atty instead of using carts. ( you have to be using a cart and atty setup, not a one piece cartomizer ) But anyway, congrats! stick with it and you'll be off the analogs for good!

Keep the momentum up...When you feel like smoking a cigarette,say to your self " I will vape for a few minutes and if the desire is still there,then I will smoke one"...Everytime i'm craving one and I give my self that ultimatum and I end up turning down the cigarette....Everyone is different,but maybe it will work for you....Good luck to you!

Here is a thread you might want to read...

I drip exclusively, and would never go back to cartridges or cartromizers.


A cleaned or completely blown out atomizer needs more drops, and so I usually use about 4-5 drops then.
But after that, it is usually around 2-3 drops to be added when the flavor starts to drop off.

Do keep in mind that this varies a bit by drop size.

Drop size can vary based on the following...
--Viscosity of juice in question
--How hard you squeeze
--Size of dropper

A drip tip makes dripping far better though.
You don't have to pull off your cartridge every time you need to drip more juice.


Here is a poll that has a lot of good additional information...

Congrats Stephanie! Don't underestimate the accomplishment of going so many hours without an analog! Confucius said " A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step"

When i made the switch, I wasn't thinking of quitting. I only used my e-cigarette because it was a Christmas present from my daughter. She's combatively concerned with my smoking, so i thought I would make her happy. I smoked and Vaped for a couple of weeks but realized that I was hardly smoking at all and not missing it. I had to make the decision to either smoke or Vape, I can't afford both. I've quit many times before, so i knew the risk I was taking by choosing the e-cigarette over my beloved Camels. I ordered the prefilled cartridges and when they arrived, I threw out my remaining analogs.

To be honest, I have had a couple of times that I find myself craving for a "normal" cigarette, but nothing that makes me twitch - nothing I can't handle, and nothing like what I went through all the other times I quit. I'm doing alright. I hope you do too.
