Over the psychology hump...Everything's peachy with my 510

[AdamM]

Hi all,

So after some small ups and some major downs, I've finally got my PV working right, with the right kind of juice, and I haven't had a cigarette in 52 hours!

Advice to newbies: Please don't give up on your PV if it doesn't seem to work right when you first try it out. There is, oddly enough, a learning curve, even sometimes when you have done tons of reading and think you got it all figured out.

The hardest part for me was getting the juice right. I recommend getting at least one or two tobacco flavors when you start out, and make sure you have a base with nicotine. Pure VG with flavouring did not work for me AT ALL. I originally bought 120 ml of VG and some sugary flavours, but like I said, it was only after I got some nicotine PG to mix with and a tobacco flavouring that I realized that I could vape rather than smoke.

I've now ordered some new sugary/fruity flavours now that I have gotten over the psychological hump of vaping instead of smoking.

Thanks to Jack at Happy Vaper and the helpful members of ECF. I wouldn't have kept going were it not for this community.

Yay! Yes, there IS a learning curve...and you have to have enough patience to stick...but it's so worth it! Glad to hear you have it going on!

First, Welcome to ECF! There is a learning curve and there is a more maintenance involved with e-cig use then with traditional analogs. Ask LOTS of questions - don't give up - as soon as you find your 'sweet spot', you'll never look back!

Definitely. And part of that sweet spot is getting to the point where the 'maintenance' doesn't feel like such. I started to think that mixing juice and dripping would be so troublesome that I would just go for a cigarette....and that's what I did for a while, but once you get it all down and realize IT WORKS, the rewards are immense.
