So, , is cvaping just nothing like smoking or ?

[Vapeman12]

I ask this cause I am a non smoker, always had friends family who smoked and when i was younger like all young kids i was curious about smoking, I picked up a cig and try to smoke but I hated it, the smoke in my eyes and the smoke inside my throat made me cough and want to be sick. .even when i got older and was around smoking gfs). Well being around a couple of vapors and smelling the nice smells I wanted to try it for myself. thought it could help me give up my all the time snacking and make me release some stress, I just got mine today and well the vape is nothing like I remember from a cig. with the vape I can inhale ( at least think I am , keeping it in my throat for a few seconds before i exhale ) and it doesn't hurt my throat or it doesn't make me cough, well not unless I take like a 15-20 sec draw.
I just wanted to ask is this cause I am using no nicotine juice or just cause its vap not smoke? don't get me wrong, I am glad of this, maybe i got weak flavors? or should i expect the same from all no nicotine juice?

Thanks and I am sorry again for another stupid question.

Not a stupid question, and interesting that you took up vaping no nic for sound reasons

Nic will gove you some throat hit, but there are other ways of achieving it with different coil/air flow, and I hear PG gives more throat hit while VG is less but makes more vapor. What kind of equipment are you using?

I was a smoker and now vape 50/50 12mg. I like a big dense hit of vapor but don't like a lot of throat hit. I like that vaping is smooth and not irritating like smoking was.

It isn't like smoking...yet it also is. I know, confusing huh.

Given that you are using no-nic, it is gentler on the throat. It is a different sensation from cigarettes. The lower the nic content, the smoother it is. Also, if you vape VG instead of PG liquids, it is smoother and less harsh as well. Flavors make a difference too. Some flavors are more mellow while others (like cinnamon atomic fireball) are pretty harsh on the throat. The vapor doesn't linger like smoke, it doesn't sting the eyes, and it doesn't "usually" make you cough. Depending on what ohms you use and what volts/watts you vape at, it can be a cooler vape versus a warm cigarette inhale. That can also create a more mellow and gentle vape sensation.

What is similar to smoking is that you inhale or take a drag, and exhale a visible "plume". This solves the hand to mouth habit as well as the visual cue of exhaling "something" that resembles a cigarette. It allows the nicotine to be absorbed through similar pathways as smoking did.

I am glad you are using no-nic. I hope you find it helps decrease your snacking and munchies!

Good question, Evapman!

Vaping LOOKS like smoking, but as a person who was hooked on analogs for 32+ years and COULD NOT QUIT, I can tell you this...VAPING AIN'T THE SAME!

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...it might be my grandmother!

Seems quite a few dieters are turning to Vaping as a dietary substitute. Interesting concept and probably a simple alternative for some.
That said, No nicotine would be the smart way for a non-smoker to go.
Nicotine can be extremely addictive for many and the big demon for those attempting to quit.

Th or Throat hit is a Non-issue in discussion with a Non-smoker as there is no reference point, no desire to be maintained.

Vaping was created to help a smoker replace the hand to mouth, exhale grayish white wisps of air and deliver nicotine. Is it exactly like smoking? No. But it is enough like smoking to help keep us away from cigarettes. The flavors are a tremendous help in breaking the urge for a cigarette.

With that said, a non-smoker has no reference point to base their experience. Since you really don't have a very good reference point, concentrate on what the flavor is that you are getting. I enjoy my vape more when I'm relaxing and can just concentrate on the flavor and the texture of the vapor. Throat hit is when you feel that bump when the vapor nudges the back of your throat. I've never vaped 0 nic, so I have no clue if it will give a throat hit or not.

The addiction to smoking, for most of us, is goes hand in hand with the Act of smoking and the actual nicotine addiction. There are some that are able to go to 0 nic but continue to vape. I will be one of those. That hand to mouth habit was a part of my life for well over 30 years. I will use vaping to keep my weight in check since I know from past experience, if I'm not doing the hand to mouth, the hand will be going to my mouth but with food in hand. Kind of like where you are, OP.

Also think about this, vapor is just wet air. The brain needs to figure out what the flavor is by just this sometimes subtly flavored steam.

Sorry you had that experience. I think a lot of us are afraid of vaping creating new nic addicts who are forced to become smokers if it gets banned. The fact that you're using 0 nic is definitely a smart move

What kind of flavors are you vaping?
Just curious.
