Re: One Week into Vaping...

[wonderboi77]

I am a newbie, started vaping a week ago on my Blu Cigs starter kit. Was off analogs for a day and began to have my usual craving for one or two analogs with my morning Nespresso and couple of times and it seems I back to a mixture of vaping and analogs now.

Eventually I would like to just reply on vaping though being in Singapore, guess would still have to have a pack of analogs for public areas. I am wondering would nicotine intake be much higher since now I am Vaping a lot as I could do that while at home, in office and on my bed? Vaping supposed to reduce heaps of harmful substances as compared or analogs....

Any advise on this?

Hear from you guys soon.

actually thru vaping, you could reduce the nicotine cravings there are different levels of nicotine in ejuice, could start from 24mg to 12mg, 9mg and eventually 0mg..
4000 chemicals in analogs vs 4 chemicals in ejuice namely pg,vg,nicotene & flavour.
get the right gear and you could knock off analogs for good..

Just vape as much as you need to as long as you can stay away or even cut down on analogs. If you find that vaping does not keep you away from analogs, try to up your nicotine level and try again. Nicotine is not harmful to your body, the 4000+ substances from analogs do.

Ah ok. Thanks guys! desmondsg you have a good point. I shall try to refrain from analogs tomorrow morning and vape with my morning Nespresso. Currently my blu cigs cartridges consist of med and low nicotine level and I must say med level does curb my cravings for analog better. I usually smoke over a pack of Malboro Silver Method each day....

I have also read about there are indeed many flavors out there and prolly even better setup. I am not really sure if I am up for some of those pro vapers' setup. All I want to have is a decent setup with good nicotine level and more flavors. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Heading towards my third week right now and I've cut down on my intake of analogs. Averaging around 3-5 sticks a day and that's usually when I'm outside. When I'm at home, vaping replaces my analogs.

My advice would be to pick flavours which are similar to what you are currently smoking and slowly experiment from there. I'm a heavy menthol smoker and my first flavour was Sub zero from Halo. Even though the nicotine level (6mg) was much lower than what I'm used to, the strong menthol gives me adequate throat hit to ignore the difference in nicotine level. I've tried other novelty flavours like Malibu (9mg) and that didn't really work for me. The throat hit and coolness which I'm accustomed to was missing. It was much easier to make the switch to vaping with subzero rather than other flavours (just my opinion).

Congrats. I'd say you're on track staying off analogs.

It took me a while to kick off the analogs habit, but eventually... you'll find yourself 'forgetting; to light up.

No sin doing analogs though, I'd still bring a pack or 2 when going overseas.

Thanks for the kind words Ash45.

The craving is still strong in this padewan but persist he must!

 

[wonderboi77]

Congrats on getting off analogs or even cutting down! Sounds about right - I should find a setup and flavor that's similar to my usual analogs. My start up doesn't give me the throat hit and nicotine level I crave for. I should try to just keep a min no. Of analogs each day and reply on Vaping!

Sorry for more question - would adequate throat hit derive from level of nicotine, menthol or amount of vapor?

I'm a heavy menthol smoker and my first flavour was Sub zero from Halo.

SubZero was the first menthol juice that I really liked, and now its my everyday choice ...

But if you crave the maximum menthol hit, try Arctic Wolf from VaporGod, its almost too strong by itself, but mixes well ...

 

[wonderboi77]

One thing for sure - I am just on one analog then on to my blu cigs in my living room typing on my ipad now rather then usual 2 to 3 sticks of analogs out on the yard!

I also realized that when I tried my colleague's Ego setup, my throat were so dried from few puffs and was feeling breathless. Doesn't feel any dryness nor breathless when on Blu Cigs and in fact Blu Cigs are pretty smooth, just doesn't give me the strong menthol and throat hit hence I kept Vaping often on it till I carve for a analog. I remembered my colleague's Ego setup was gotten across the bridge...

Wished I was back in the states where I could go to a shop and check out different setup and try different juice till I find my right one...

From what I know, nicotine level is a factor of the "throat hit". However the setup itself (i.e. atomizer/tank/clearo/carto, voltage/wattage) are also pertinent factors. Menthol doesn't really contribute to throat hit per se, but it helps me disassociate the difference between analogs and vaping by providing me with the familiar feeling of coolness around the throat upon inhale and exhale.

My initial setup was an ego-t and mini protank 2. I'm currently using an Astro mech mod + Kayfun 3.1. The difference between the two is huge. Running on a 0.9ohm coil, i retested the malibu. Although I still didn't really like it, but I can tell the nuances in flavour. Coconut, pineapple and a hint of menthol. Whereas on the ego setup, I could only taste coconut. And with the current setup, vapour production was more satisfying. Dragging on for like 6 secs is impossible for me at this stage. Had to keep reminding myself this is not an ego.

However, that is not to say the ego-t is useless. I'm still infatuated with it (alright maybe not so much now, since the arrival of the new toy). There are certain juices which I prefer vaping on the ego rather than on the mech mod.

e.g. Supersnow from Monkey Vapes (citrus, lemon, hint of pineapple and menthol)
On the Astro + KF3.1, its much too sweet and there's a light synthetic after taste which lingers.
On the ego-t + mini protank 2, the sweetness is muted with no synthetic after taste.

I'm going to try the Supersnow again on a higher resistance setup. I think it should taste better on lower power.

SubZero was the first menthol juice that I really liked, and now its my everyday choice ...

But if you crave the maximum menthol hit, try Arctic Wolf from VaporGod, its almost too strong by itself, but mixes well ...

Logged into the "Must try" juices

actually our next door neighbour in bolehland has vapeshops, and if you join into one of their forums, vapemeets are held regularly..ive seen them in coffeeshops vaping away and tinkering with their rebuildables, and they've made in bolehland mods and juices ..unlike here..vape in coffeeshop? no chance..

 

[wonderboi77]

That's means Vaping is fine over there?

Guess for me it's blu cigs for now. I do love the packaging and how convenient it is. Just wished the flavors were stronger.

In KL, there is so many vape shops opening. My personal favorite place is vapebrothers. Nice people there and somehow when vapers meet each other even for the first time. It is damn easy to become friends. Can always sit down and vape together and discuss about new gear and juices.
