Problems switching from analogs to vaping

[Frenchfry1942]

I got an "attitude". My Nic was plenty, but getting a 'tude is very important for any addiction.

I was ready. Socially, medically, everything. I easily made a list of 10 reasons. I was angry when someone smelled me and stepped back. Simple health issues all the time. Standing in the cold. Cleaning fingers and Windows. Just stopping to have a fix every hour. It is disgusting for me to treat myself so stupidly.

I got 'tude. My Sig says it. I went to bed a smoker and woke up with a vaping plan of attack.

A 'tude makes a big difference. I recommend getting one.

Walter, You sound like me with hundreds of flavors and just as many devices. I seems to gravitate to blueberry/tobacco or cinnamon tobacco. I would like to vape whenever I want at home, but the hubby has asthma and even one look at a vape device and he complains about the effect on his lungs. Maybe I should get rid of him and vape to my hearts content. Thanks for all the info. I will take heed.

Everyone's experience is different. Nicotine isn't the only thing in tobacco. There are a bunch of other active substances that we don't know as much about at this point. Some people seem to be mainly addicted to the nicotine, and they can switch to vaping fairly easily. Others seem to be more affected by the other stuff and therefore have a harder time. Unfortunately, you seem to be in the latter group. Your options seem to be:

1. Use vaping to help with the nicotine part of the addiction. It won't be a full replacement, but it might help enough that you can make it. There's lots of good advice and tips for this approach above.
2. Get some whole tobacco alkaloid (WTA) juice. It's extracted from tobacco and includes a bunch of the 'other stuff'. Warning: Less is known about the alkaloids and the extraction process, so it's probably somewhat riskier than standard vaping. That said, it's very probably better than burning tobacco and inhaling smoke, ash and tar.

I don't know where to find WTAs myself, but if you search the forum for the term you should come up with something. I know a number of forum members swear by it.

Good luck, whatever you decide!

Thanks Hawise,
I tried WTA's, but decided the unknowns were no better than the cigs. I really think I have to stop buying and vape exclusively. I haven't smoked in the house since 1980, so my journey into the weather will continue. I'll just have to go out more often.

Wow French fry. I have no attitude, but will work on getting one. Willpower is the key. Thanks!

Have you tried rebuildables? I know you mentioned mtl, but were they all drop in coils? I know some cannot build, but for mtl'ing, it seems the only thing left....not sure if this is the ticket or not, but I can tell you that a really good mtl rta is at another level compared to pods or your basic mtl drop in tanks.....

Hi vapdivrr,
I haven't tried rebuildables, just drop in coils. I talk to one of the local vape shops about it.

Tobacco is an important flavor because it helped me quit. The role of flavors is an extremely important part of my vaping experience and is key in my success in quitting smoking (and nicotine).
The references below were compiled for DIY mixers but the flavors and types of tobacco types can all be approximated in many e liquid vendors stocks, might like to read up on tobacco flavors:

Despise is a good attitude. I do wish you and all others that are e trying the best, but I just know me.

I guess I am just lucky in a way. A 'tude just worked.

If you would like, I can send you one already set up. I can either send you a little juice with it or you can use whatever you have....I have many extras, so no worries. You can vape it for a while, just to see if it helps....if it is, we can go from there....if interested, just PM me
