Started vaping stopped and I vape a lot

[brandon sandberg]

So I've been vaping for a couple weeks slowed down my daily smoking to half a pack then 5 cigs then 3 and and then 1 now I'm day 2 no cigs but I find that I vape a lot and think about cigs a lot I don't actually want them but I think of them then find my finger on the firing button of my vape this is constantly, will I slow down anytime soon it's not that I don't enjoy the vaping aside from giving myself a sore throat sometimes (i can use a lozenge to fix this)but the thing is constantly being used so I worry for the charge and I worry for my wanting that cig and not having a charge it makes me feel a bit weak and vulnerable to finding a cig to sate my desire while I charge I don't want to reset anymore even if it's one cig.

Ps. Sorry for the rant but I felt it somewhat neccessary to set my mood so those who relate maybe can help.

Hi and welcome,

Always have a back up, and a back up for the back up.


Please tell your doctor that you have begun vaping in an attempt to stop smoking. He may need to modify your prescriptions.

Cheers

Keep it up man! 3 weeks for me and no cigarette!

Most definitely get a backup.

The first week I vaped I didn't let it out of my hand, and hardly let it out of my mouth I chainvaped so much.

However, within a year I would forget to take my mod with me when I left the house for the day and not miss it (something that could never happen with cigarettes) and now I don't vape every day, even when it's on my table beside me. I don't want it like I used to..

All things in time... so if you feel the need to chainvape then do so without worry or concern. Your going through withdrawals and they won't last forever.

Hi and welcome. I've only been here a few days, myself. Been off the cigarettes for two months, now. I still think of them, and when I smell someone smoking a cigarette it smells like heaven. I want smokes, but I don't, really. I hate the addiction. I smoked for forty-nine years. Vaping is the ONLY way I can quit smoking and I'm grateful for it. Sometimes when I find myself chain vaping I'll turn my device off. Sometimes just knowing it's there is enough to keep me off the smokes. Yes, talk to your doctor. Perhaps the doc can recommend a good nic level for you.

Prescription?

Sorry mate,
Your anxiety level seems rather high and I presumed you to be under a doctors care.
If that is not the case, I apologize.
Never the less, a stress reducing outlet; yoga, T'ai Chi, walking, cycling, meditation, prayer,etc may help to distract you from some of the compulsive thoughts and anxiety associated with abstaining from smoking.

Best of luck
I

Welcome to ECF, brandon sandberg. How long and how much did you smoke? You may need to up your nic level just a bit, or keep a second unit with a higher nic level than what you have now. Vapes deliver nicotine slightly differently than cigarettes, but you're probably just going thru withdrawals of all the other chemicals and nasty in cigarettes. Like Opinionated said above there's nothing (well, magnitudes less..) to worry about chain vaping. It's a helluva lot better than chain smoking..

Welcome to ECF
It would be helpful to know what gear and nic mg you're using. Any time you ask a question we'll want this info.
Detox takes time but the urge to smoke will diminish as your body adjusts to a different nic delivery system. With vapor you absorb nic more readily through the mucus membranes in your mouth and nose. Holding the vapor in your mouth for a moment and exhaling through the nose helps.

I never experienced "Detox."

Then you were one of the lucky ones. It is quite unpleasant.

Congrats! I've often heard the suggestion that you shouldn't worry too much about how much you're vaping when you first make the switch from smoking. Your goal is to get off the cigs. You can work on vaping less later.

I too worry about running out of battery or liquid, so I carry a backup device and charger everywhere.

You may also want to start drinking more water. This should help your throat too.

well thats pretty easy to solve, and it happened to me years ago, how do i did solve it? well meet the pods, then i knew that my problems will be one stop closer to the end, pods are the perfect complement for vaping and vape mods, i use to have a pod, and maybe 2 vapes, mtl and dtl, so pods are the perfect complement for some quick or stealth hits on the go, salt nic satisfies the nicotine need a bit faster so chain vaping is something i will avoid with pods, otherwise you will end with a great headache !

another thing to consider when vaping is to associate it with something you like, you enjoy or you do a lot, that another safe way to include vaping in the regular life, like when you started smoking,


Regards,

Hello and welcome to ECF. Congratulations on your vaping progress and elimination of cigarettes. You have come a long way in a short amount of time. What are you vaping and what is your nic level. If you said already, I apologize if I missed it.
