smoke tip e-cigarettes

[mawmaw]

Hi,
I am new to the forum and e-cigarettes. I received my e-cigarettes last monday, I like them, but I still have cravings for the real cigarettes and still smoke 5 to 7 a day. Can anyone give me advice as to how to quit the real cigarettes all together.

My experience is to increase the nicotine level of the juice. When I went to 24mg I lost the urge to pick up a analog. Try different strengths to see what the comfort level is for you.

Increasing the nic level is a good start. ST cartos only go up to 16mg, so order prefills from someone else that offers a 24mg level, or purchase eliquid with that level and refill your cartos yourself. Eventually you may find that you want a manual battery ecig or one that is harder hitting ( a bigger battery model) but ST is a good starter choice and I still have many of them on hand, charged, as my back up. Good luck.

I agree, you need to up your nic levels, youre not getting the coverage you should. But I also want to say this--look at what a huge achievement you've already made!! Sometimes it takes a few weeks or even months to quit the analogs totally, and you should focus on what you're accomplishing rather than the fact that youre still have a few analogs a day. All you need to do to quit totally at this point is to up your nic level, and taper off the analogs--you can do that, easy! You've already done the hard part, but committing to quit and taking the steps to do so, this is just tying up the few lats details of the act.

Take a sec and bask in the knowledge of what you've managed to accomplish so far--and be proud of yourself!!! Holy cats, there are some folks who would kill to be able to say they were under 10 analogs a day, and you've done that almost effortlessly! You are doing a wonderful thing, and we are so proud of you---

Sometimes it takes a little while before you stop smoking it took me 3 weeks to get off cigarettes completely just hang in there you've already accomplished a lot by cutting way back. Remember that a lot of it is mental you were smoking way before you started vaping and with time and patience you'll be analog free in no time.

Thanks everyone for the quick answers. Since I am new to e-cigs, I will have to have help in finding the liquid and also on how to refill the carts. Can smoke tip carts be refilled? I get overwhelmed when I search for e-cigs and which ones to use, also on refilling the carts. I don't understand how to mix the juice, or how to refill. Since I don't have a lot of extra money to do trial and error on different things I will take the advice of e-cig users to heart. I like the smoke tip and the amount of vapor that it has, but there is sort of a sweet taste to them and I feel like I'm missing something. I am really struggling to try to do this. Can use all the help I can get. Thanks all

Carts and cartos can both be refilled. With carts you just drip the juice into the fill material, with cartos you can use the condom method or pop off the white cap and ring inside and drip juice into the fill. There are videos that will help and I'd suggest the MN videos that are sticky's in the new member forum is a good place to start.

Which model PV do you have and are you using carts, cartos, or a drip tip?

I haven't gotten into the DIY juice mixing, I'm trying to not make this a hobby but a habit breaker.

For the first two months I could only vape tobacco juices with good TH. I found Turkish blends like Backwoods brew Casablanca and the stronger FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship (70pg/30vg) were what worked for me. I could not vape fruity/foody juices alone because they made me feel like I had eaten and left me craving an analog. After 2 months and later mixing chocolates, vanillas, and caramel tobacco (oRYental 4) into Desert Ship, I was finally able to vape some of those mixers alone and now they are what I mostly vape.

Smoketip - you have auto batteries. Try a KR808D-1 manual battery for more control of your hit. And a KR808D-1 standard size battery would also last longer than a Smoketip battery (I think Smoketip is shorty length).

Also - you could try to make it easier for you to vape than smoke. I bought an extra battery so I could leave my ecig set up overnight so it would be right there ready to vape when I woke up.

Also, if you go to a higher nic juice, it doesn't have to be full time. I normally drip around the house and use cartos when I'm out and I use 12mg juice. However, I still get the occasional mad craving. For that, I carry a little 3ml bottle of 24mg and a drip tip. Vape it for a little bit and it's back to my 12mg. Works for me and I don't bounce off walls the way I did when I used 24mg full time.

You just need to buy a bottle of some flavored e-juice with tobacco or menthol tobacco, not sure which you "smoke". Take the cartomizer (filter) off your Smoke Tip and pry off the white top, it's kind of hard plastic and glued on there. Under that, is a clear plastic ring, take that out too and just throw that one away, you won't need it anymore, but SAVE the white one to put back on. See the white filler looking material inside there? There is where you "drip" the juice into. And remember, slow and long intake on the e-cig for the best results! Good luck! I loaned mine out to my coworker and she's still smoking while using them too. I did too. But think of the ones you are NOT smoking, isn't that wonderful?!!!!! Just stay on this and keep reading up and asking questions and eventually, you won't care that it looks like a "cigarette" anymore, you'll just want the battery to last longer! Best of luck to you and congrats on getting started! I love Smoke Tip just for the fact that their batteries have a lifetime warranty.
Order yourself a couple of bottles of e-juice for back ups, and then later you'll want to order more "cartomizers". You can get into the more complicated stuff like atomizers, cartridges, drip tips, and bigger batteries when you feel more comfortable with knowing what you're doing. This forum has ALOT to absorb!

Smoke Tip cartos only go up to 16 mg. You can order juice and refill the carts you do have with stronger juice or you can buy blank carts at V4L and fill new ones.

I think the Smoke Tip is a good ecig, my Mom quit using it. And they have a great warranty. My personal opinion is that you really have to take a strong pull on them.

If you need an easier drag and more TH and stronger flavor, you might want to move to a new style. Liberty Flights has a Riva ego for $29.99 and you'll definitely get more from that.

If it's not the right ecig for you, all the juice in the world won't help.

For me, this is the type of thread that makes me wanna try to continue the transistion. I've been feeling like I failed.

One of the most common mistakes people make is they get that PV and they start using it. Then they really crave a cigarette and feel like they failed or that it won't work for them. Don't try to quit completely right away. Have a few cigarettes a day for a few weeks. Vape all you want in between. After a while, you won't enjoy those cigarettes that much. Then put them down.
