six days off analogs

[jweavers]

Well,

So far,so good.I received my bloog maxx fusion last Monday afternoon.That was the last time I smoked an analog. I've been a pack an a half smoker for 28 years.I have tried to quit analogs along the way,most smokers do try to quit.I've tried the patch and cold turkey.I was always miserable.I mean sure I felt better physically,but mentally,I'm a smoker.I'm addicted to every aspect of smoking.So when I decided to try vaping,well,it wasn't so much that I was quitting smoking,but I wanted an alternative to smoking.In my mind I told myself I was just switching to a new brand of cigarettes,not quitting.Well,so far it has worked.

My experience so far.The first day was the hardest for me.I couldn't seem to deeply inhale with the e-cig without having some pain.It just seemed stronger.I had also ordered the higher nicotine carts to make sure I could get some nicotine and then some.By the end of the first day,I was doubtful.I don't know,I just couldn't seem to inhale and puff like I did on cigarettes.I really thought I would send the product back.I decided to keep trying.I started inhaling into my mouth and pulling it in through my nose on the second day and for some reason beyond me it worked.By the second afternoon I was fully inhaling the vapor and getting all the little addictions I have satisfied.Now I'm puffing away like a trooper and looking for some good juice as I'm going through the carts.That's another thing.I can't really tell when I'm finished with a cart?
Another thing is I keep two flavors on hand,the reds and the 555.I switch them out through the day to enjoy the flavors more.When I can't fully taste one or the other,I switch them out and get to enjoy the flavor anew,is that normal?

Mostly I'm posting because I think this is going to work for me.I think it can work for many.I just wanted to tell folks they have to give it a chance.Go at it for more than a day.I keep one analog in my purse just for my own mind,but can't say I've had too much desire to have a go at it.

My family is pleased because I'm not smoking but more so because I am not "acting crazy"like I did every other time I quit smoking.Even on the patch,I was just a nasty mean person.I don't feel mean or anything like that vaping.I just feel happy I have possibly,quite likely,found the one thing to get me off the cigarettes for good.

Any advice on the juice would be helpful.Like 100 percent pv compared to 80/20 on the juices.Just haven't made up my mind on where to order from.I like the fruitiness of the reds,but really also enjoy the nuttiness of the 555's.Would be nice to have both.Any suggestions,except switching out and where to get some similar flavored juices?

Thanks to everyone in the forum as I just researched a ton here before I ordered my first e-cig.I couldn't have done it for real without everyones posts,good or bad.

Congrats on the switch, regarding the ejuice the difference between PG/VG preference is different for everyone. I enjoy 100% PG liquids for the taste but I do have a few eliquids that are 65%/35% that are awesome for vapor production. As far as a flavor goes that combines fruity and nutty, I haven't found one I like so I'm sorry I cannot be of further help. Again congrats and keep on keeping on.

Just recenly I tried a blueberry muffin from gourmet vapor. It smells and vapes like a blueberry muffin. The ingredients are two parts blueberry and one part hazelnut. I found it an odd combination that works great. The one I ordered was an 18mg 60/40 PG/VG single flavor. I didn't bother with the double or triple flavoring. Gourmet lets you order just about any PG/VG combo and you can try different flavors. I'll warn you though, mixing flavors doesn't always work out to well. I'd look at them next time they have a sale going and try something with a bread or muffin and that might be the nutty flavor your searching for.

I'm saving my cartomizers so I can reuse them,refill them.I haven't ordered any juice yet.I was wondering if any other vaporing peoples had that first day inhaling issue and if that is pretty normal?

I have already taken my new bloog out to share with other analog smokers who have inhaled,got a weird but good look on their face,and they said that is was strong.Strong,good or bad?I asked and they just seemed to also have that first day or first time inhaling thing.I think different,but similar enough to work and make a regular smoker happy.

I am using the 36mg carts and am happy with them for now.Still interested in being able to refill for the economy of it.

Congratulations for the win over analog. Its great to see that you dont have any desire for it while carrying those also. Keep Vaping.

I think it's pretty normal depending on how much and how long you've been smoking analogs. A friend of mine at work would cough after a deep inhale so we tried to figure if it was the nic level or PG/VG mix. We've tried different juices, levels, and pg/vg mixes and I think we determined that because she was still smoking the analogs that she only coughed after smoking an analog and then tried vaping. When she just vaped she didn't cough but if she had one analog first than vaped she would cough when inhaling the vapor too deep. I think your lungs will start to cough up the junk from all of the analogs and you'll vape better the longer you are away from the analogs.
