Question Abour My Personal Usage

[Gooty]

I have had my cig since yesterday, 4pm GMT and havent put it down since basically lol.

It is worrying me that I am smoking this more than normal cigarettes.

I am hoping this will die down as it becomes less of a fad to me.

Did/does anyone else have this problem and if they got over it how did they do it.

Hi gooty
What you describe is what I believe most vapers do when 1st starting. I certainly did.

Novelty had a lot to do with it. Take a hit, nice, I like it! Take another and a another and another... just to see if the device will do it again!

Amount of time with the PV attached to mouth finally dropped off for me when I started using 36mg liquid. Mind that's what it took for me.

Really reduced the chain-vaping when I started using snus along with vaping.

Enjoy!

I'm about 5 months into the e-cig life and I admittedly still chain vape whenever possible. But, I am analog free for 117 days thanks to this forum and Randall @ myPVshop.com so chain vaping does not concern me. I'm happier and healthier. And that's what counts.

Me too!!!

I can't seem to put this thing down?!?

I even went and bought a pack of analogs and I'm counting the number of drags I take thinking I should be taking a smaller but similar number of drags on my new Blu.

lol I think its ok but I'm no doctor . The only time I'm not vaping is during the 2 hour stretches at work between breaks...So you're not alone in your constant vaping!

Cheers for the responses guys. They are much appreciated.

I have been chain vaping since I got it, too, but I think it's because I'm still wary about doing it in public places, lest I have to explain myself to a security guard that doesn't know what an e-cig is.

I will say that in the mall the other day, I was using my 510 (they sell the Luce brand e-cig there) and saw one of those DIY Blood Pressure cuffs. My stats were all good, but my heart rate was chart-topping for the machine. It was an hour after a Red Bull AND with me chain-vaping, but it did remind me I'm still inhaling a powerful stimulant and I need to cool it or I'll see problems over time.

My first day or two I wondered the same thing. "Am I vaping 'too much? Too often?' "

Then I heard myself say, "Are you KIDDING? You've been smoking 2+ packs of full-flavor analogs for 40+ YEARS! Vape as often as you want!"

As it happens, I really DON'T vape as much as I used to smoke. I don't even think about it anymore. Whenever I want a puff or two, wherever I am, I puff. Indoors I just cover the LED on my VaporKing with my hand, inhale the vapor so it never shows. I've never had a problem. Anywhere.

Enjoy!

Not uncommon behaviour at all for a newbie. You'll soon settle into more of a pattern

Gooty,

This all comes down to your personal experience.. and I will use mine as comparison.

I smoked analogs for right at thirty years 2 to 3 packs a day marlboro red depending on the stress of the day. When I started to vape... I quit analogs the day I got my SD and yes vaped heavy for the first couple weeks. When I started, I figured I smoked heavy, almost one after the other all the time, and so, I should start with a high mg/ml nic juice.. wrong thinking. For some it is different. others well, like me I found that most nicotine cessation replacement therapies calculate that the regular daily intake of a smoker per pack is 14mg and they intensify the dosage to anywhere between 18 and 24mg's. I basically chose the median of 18 mg... and took up mixing my own using glycerine, 18mg/ml nic juice, 0mg/ml nic juice, various flavorings and so on. I decided to reduce my mg percentage by carrying 18 mg and 16 mg, equally satisfying my cravings between the two. I figured I will give myself two month intervals and reduce my mg nic intake by 2mg each interval. I am not going to remove nic entirely, but I just want to get down to a safer usage at around 6 to 8 mg/ml.

anyway, that my $0.02 for what it is worth.

I chain vaped at first too. Now I go for hours without even thinking about it. For me, all the anxiety has gone out of smoking. I no longer have to hurry and smoke a cig *now* because wherever I'm heading is a no smoking zone. Virtually *everywhere* is a vaping zone. Somehow, that has made me relax and I go for hours without a puff.

I've been using a 510 for about a week now and mixing in some analogs. I want to eventually get away from the analogs altogether but I'm giving myself a little time. The first day I used the 510 I was using both carts and dripping. By the end of the day I had given myself a mild case of nic poisoning. I got nauseus and weak so I put the 510 down for the evening. Now I'm finding I take four or five 510 hits every half to an hour and have an analog when I feel like I really need the "smoke" flavor. I'm going through about two cart fills a day and getting more and more used to the 510. Without really trying, I've cut my analogs back by about 2/3 and I no longer cough for the first 30 minutes of the morning. This is after only a week and not really being serious about extending times between analogs. We just had my wife's entire family here for Thanksgiving and they weren't bothered in the least when I vaped and they're all nons. I can't understand why the FDA is being such jerks about this tech. I was glad the governator vetoed the stupid CA bill.

I have had it 3 days and have had about 5 drags on an analog because i thought i was out of cartridges... but i wasnt
