So close to slipping :(

[mary_d]

I am getting closer and closer to slipping and smoking an analog. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow that I have been smoke free and I love it but it is getting hard . I am missing the throat hit so bad and no matter what pg/vg mix I do I still can't get any kind of throat hit. I have a passthrough for my 4081 but it just pooped out on me today. Even with it though I wasn't getting that harsh hit I am craving. Any ideas or help would be GREATLY appreciated.


BTW: I only vape DIY now

Thanks everyone!

Hey Mary,

What strength eLiquid are you vaping? Perhaps its time to up the mg.

Mary hang in there. You may want to jump up to an LR atty and jump the nic up on the DIY. The LR will give you much more and warmer vapor. It may help you w/TH

Havve you considered going up to a larger battery or a mod? I'd go with an ego - I love my ego passthrough battery (a lot of places have them now - I'm never the one with the "cheapest" supplier answer so I'll let someone else chime in and save you some money!) with a LR atty and a drip tip from goodprophets.com.

Even now I'll occasionally get a drag that's too harsh on TH, even on juices that are normally pretty low-key.

another recommendation is also using a flavor like cinnamon or mint as I have read many times that this can help with the TH. HTH

Do you happen to have any of those pre filled carts that come with a lot of kits? I know those are raspy and usually pretty high in the nic content.
Just keep at it ..... the craving will lessen.

If not, and you smoke one, what's the real harm. You may not even like the flavor any more.

I was without attys or cartos for a day last week and smoking a pack of analogs was all it took! DO NOT want to go back to that!

Wow alot of help very quickly


I am down to15mg of nic now. I am trying to get down to 0 but not sure if I will make it or not. I have tried cinnamon,peppermint,menthol and even kooloada 10% trying to get any kind of throat hit but they are all so smooth that I get none .

I don't have any pre filled carts at the moment but I will have tomorrow when hubby's kit comes in the mail.

I smoked a analog the after going 24 hours of vaping only and it was so nasty I couldn't do it so I know I wouldn't smoke the whole thing. The problem is I don't want to even light one. I have done so good so far and all I really want is that throat hit soooooo bad lol.


I do want to get a ego but with everything spent the last three weeks on the e-cigs and DIY stuff I have to give the spending a break for a bit .

I have heard that a tiny bit of PGA will give you a throat hit but I am afraid to do that because I am on meds that say NO ALCOHOL. I am not sure if I would really be getting anything off the PGA but it worries me to much to try.

When I need a good TH I have found "tail piping" helps me. I use my strongest flavor and get a really strong TH. Then I go back to vaping with my normal setup as usual.

 

[mary_d]

Ok I have to ask....What is "tail piping" ?

 

[croman67]

That's when you take off the cart and just inhale from the atty. I think.
I'm too chicken to do it. hahaha

 

[mary_d]

Oh I have done that and burnt my lips doing it to LOL.

Trying to lower your nic level that fast is not giving yourself a good enough chance. If you are wanting to get to zero nic, I think you need to give yourself a good year to achieve that goal. I'd go up to 24mg and after about 6 months, maybe go down to 18, then after 3 months 12 or 9, then 3 more months to zero. If you just quit smoking you have to get through the withdrawls from the other chemicals in cigarettes. Don't try to get off the nic until you've beaten the other stuff first.

Thomas that is great advice thank you very much! I had only vaped 24mg the first two days and have been on 18mg up until two days ago. I think I will go back to the 18mg and see if it helps me . I just dripped a few drops of some 24mg I had laying around and dang I got one heck of a buzz going on LOL.

I bought the Hello 016 from MadVapes that came with 5 cartos, a usb charger and 24mg us tobacco juice. That juice has one hellava throat hit! Oh...all for $35. The 1300mah battery lasts all day. The first day I had the fully charged battery I tried to run it out, and was successful, but I was a vaping machine that day.

I wish you luck. As I said in the other thread that is very similar to yours, it took me a full year to not want a real cigarette. So just be patient. You are already on the right track.

I believe that because my father in law who quit cold turkey 10 years ago says he still craves one . Oh well I can do it I know I can
