Hi everyone, great thread you got here.
A question for you folks that smoked 2 PAD for many years. Did you quit the stinkys immediately or did it take
some time? If so, how long? Also what mls of nic enabled you to part ways with Marlboro Man?
Welcome! I did smoke 2 PAD for about 45 years. I started vaping over a year ago, fiddling around with some 510 stuff enough to know I liked it, and got an eGo, tried hard to switch, but not succeeding for a good 10 months. I tired using up to 36mg nic, and it just made me nervous and gave me headaches. I dropped it to 24mg and was chain-vaping and still not feeling satisfied. I almost gave up, but so many good people said hey, even if you can't make the switch 100%, every cig you don't smoke is a plus, and they were right of course. But I didn't want 2 habits! And honestly, vaping tasted a lot better, was cleaner, healthier, didn't stink, lots of advantages...you know.
A friend of mine sent me some snus, another proven safe tobacco alternative used in Sweden, and though I wasn't too fond of the taste or the delivery method, they definitely calmed the cravings for cigs for me, and I found it was because snus contained WTA, whole tobacco alkaloids, which are all the minor alkaloids in tobacco that are NOT included in e-liquids. Oh brother, now I have 3 addictions? LOL. Well, cut to the chase here, I found out there was a vendor, Aroma E-juice, that made fluids with WTA in it! I got some, and it was MY answer, what I need to get me off stinkies. I'm not saying it is for everyone mind you, but after 10 months of trying, it was my answer. It cost more than regular juice cuz they make it from scratch, but I only use it when the cravings are strong, so it isn't too bad and still way better than cigs. Some people who've tried it said they notice nothing, so it's relative, everyone is different. I seen to be less sensitive to nicotine, but more sensitive to WTA. I can and do vape anywhere from 36mg to 0mg, depending. I know some people who only vape 6mg and can tell right away if it is something more or less...so we are all different. Whatever works for YOU is the best!
