One of those Days

[jebey29]

You ever had one of those days where no matter what you do you cant get satisfied? I have tried everything. Switching batteries, 3.7V and 6V and many many flavors. When i get this feeling normally my Menthols will take care of the trick but not today. I have tried everything.....Cowboy, Cowboy Menthol, smilin menthol, Atomic Fireball and nothing is working.

I think the only thing that has prevented me from running to the store and buying a pack of cigarettes is that my daughter is in the bed taking a nap.

Yikes, this sucks. Im still vaping like mad hopeing this eventually goes away. I have been vaping for over a month now without a cigarette and this is the first time this feeling has ever hit me this strong.

I'm lucky I never had one that bad, and they all passed quickly. Snus might be an option for you, seems to work well for folks who need more than nicotine to get them through. Good luck!!

Yeah... the last two days have been hard on me. I didn't get it really. I've had no problems with cravings really for the first week then BAM!! I just vape and vape and vape... I've been crabby and depressed and sad... and well I just want a cigarette.

This morning so far seems better. I don't think I'll cave but on the other hand I don't know if I should be easier on myself. For all I know I'll light up and think it's gross.

Good luck man I feel ya. If I had some good advice I'd give it. I thought a hot relaxing bath would help yesterday .. but no, no it didn't .. lol. Being bombarded with second hand smoke last night did seem to turn me back off of the idea though.

I read somewhere on here that snus is supposed to help with satisfying tobacco cravings without all the negative affects. Although there are still SOME of them being as it's tobacco and all. I thought about giving it a try but can't seem to put tobacco in my mouth .. blech..lol

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I opened up 5 menthol carts and filled up 5 carts with atomic fireball. Hit them twice each in succession and now, finally, Peace !!!!!!!

I was worried something like this might happen. I have ordered some lower MG juice down to 24MG to try and switch to that strength. Because all my carts and juice are at 36mg right now and if this should happen again i have nothing to turn to. Im cant go any higher than 36 so i have nothing to turn to when this happens. I believe with those at 18mg and 24mg when they get a major craving they can break out a 36mg to satisfy that craving.

Im hoping i can train myself to do the same thing !

I always have 36mg on hand for just this reason, though I vape primarily 20-24mg now. Sometimes you just need the strong nicotine hit to stop you from smoking. Whatever works is good.

Without a doubt, I've been very lucky. I haven't had one single craving since I stopped smoking.

This is really amazing to me because every time I tried to quit before, I would become obsessed with wanting a cig.

I can relate to those who are having the cravings. I just can't offer any advise because PVs have worked so well for me.

Good luck with the cravings. I have just gone to a darker flavor cart and hit it in succession with the PT, which has been my best bet. All my stuff is at 11/12/18mg, so thanks for the suggestion of the higher nic. for extreme cravings. I traded my only 24mg cartos. Well, it has been 5 days since my last order, so I guess time for another!

I had a desperate day like you're having back in my 3rd or 4th week postcig. I spent about two hours vaping my head off at high levels (keep 36 mg handy for this reason) and the panic finally subsided. (I typically vape at 18-24 mg.) Haven't had an episode like that since! Good luck...and good for you for not rushing to the store to buy the wicked sticks.

If it gets real bad I will have a piece of nicotine gum and within an hour all is better and I go back to the vape only. I was smoking a pack a day plus for 40 years. It DOES get better with time. Hang in there!

I like the gum idea, it didnt help me quit cause it makes me feel sick, but once I am off analogs I might keep it around for those strong craving days

i've had a couple of those moments... i think it makes sense that after a few weeks one might have them more for a bit, as it psychologically 'sinks in' that you're 'not smoking.' i find playing around with flavors and so forth helps me too, jebey. and i find that the laid back vaping attitude (and support here) that doesn't like... demonize those moments is incredibly helpful. so glad you got through it!

 

[timothy]

one thing i have tryed was 36 for the bad cravings and 4 mg for the long vaping times

i've had a couple slips. But after a few drags, the smell and taste reminds me that vaping is the way to go.
