Quitting smoking

[AndriaD]

WTA did nothing for me, it just made my homemade juice taste like ..... For some it may help but I tend to think it is psychological.

Not even a little bit. The cravings I suffered were the deep, hard, bone-deep kind, just out of the blue when I was 10 days smoke-free and perfectly happy to be smoke-free again -- which I think was my sick digestive system crying out for anabatine. The day I added it to my juice, that night I realized I hadn't had a craving all day long. And, I didn't suffer ANY of the usual depression that I suffered terribly with, the first time around, at the 3wk and 3mo points.

WTA is definitely not psychological. When I started vaping it first thing in the morning instead of the morning cig, I could feel it opening up my brain and a feeling of flush in my scalp. It woke me up. I mean that literally, not symbolicly.

Your experience with WTA is atypical, IMHO. For a minority of us, it provide the satisfaction we couldn't get from straight ejuice. So it kept us off the stinkies. And slowly, over time, I've been able to reduce my WTA consumption.

This is the danger in not recognizing that people react differently to things.

I am not addicted to nicotine even though I use it all the time.
It would be tempting for me to think those that are still addicted to it just think they are.

But I know better than to think that.


I use WTA on rare occasions and I can tell you that I can sure feel the difference.
It makes my head feel kinda "fuzzy" and I actually don't like it that much.

But when I'm stressed, it definitely helps with that so I keep some around.

That's what I'm starting to work on; I mixed it as 10% of my juice for about 5 months; first of the year, I took it down to 9%, and have had no problems, so at the end of the month I'll take it down to 8%, for February. It might take me another 8.5 months to get free of it, but that's ok; I want NONE of those hard cravings I suffered after my appendectomy.

For me to FULLY quit smoking it took my ipv mini set at 30 watts with an Atlantis sitting on top. I vape 100 percent by juice and 3mg nic. The clouds and flavor kept me off tobacco.

Those clouds tho.... Makes it hard to go back to tobacco with those clouds. Not to mention the comments it brings from people.

Any tips on how to kick the cigarette habit with vaping? Been trying for a bit but for whatever reason it still doesn't beat the feeling of a cigarette for me. I also want to try to quit around other smokers so it's easier to resist once I finally quit.

I had Quickmist NRT mouth spray and nicotine lozenges on a government sponsored quit scheme - at the end of that I missed the Quickmist most, for about a year I tried snuff but it worked out as expensive as smoking.

My first vape was the Vapourlites disposable cartomiser e-cig - that was barely adequate and I had to have about 4 batteries charging ready to replace the one I was using.

The liberty Flights Vivi-Nova V2 has been completely adequate for me, but its now discontinued and they're currently reduced to clear remaining stock - LF seem to be going over to ego threads, what they have look OK, but the tank capacities look smaller.
