Still crave a cig when i drink

[DeAnna2112]

Well, I have been vaping for four years and still smoke a few butts per day. Of course my goal is always (and still is) to quit completely, but I have an addictive personality. Not using that as an excuse, but that is the reason I stopped drinking BEFORE it became a problem - alcoholism runs in the family.

Bottom line for me is the 25,000 cigarettes I did not smoke over these four years.

That is a major win to me, and I am unapologetic about my dual use.

Good for you ..you are doing well my friend and something to be proud of. I wish i could slip a cig here and there but my personality is if i smoke one, i will be back to smoking. So i have to try really hard to not let a cig in here and there.

Good for you!!! major win on your end to be where you are. I just have that personality that if i smoke one, i will be back to smoking full time. I wish i could smoke one here and there but my personality would not allow it.

I just wish i could past drinking a few glasses of wine or a couple shots of jeam beam on the weekends..i really enjoy sitting back and enjoying a few drinks on the weekend. But the suggestions of upping my nic has been a tremendous help advice wise.

I always smoked more when drinking on the weekends and I do the same with vaping. I did up it the 1st few times after that I settled into my regular mg.

yeah i upped my nic to 24mg and it seemed to be a big help, thanks to many who have dealt with this themselves. Glad to know i am not the only one who has encountered this problem. I think we are so used to smoking when we drink, me i have a few glasses of wine or a few shots of jeam beam, but that is my worse hurdle. It's hard as well with the first cup of coffee in the mornings, but i can deal with that much easier

many suggested trying a new tobacco flavor, well sure enough in my arsenal i had some gi joe flavoring so i experimented, that was a big improvement

 

[leftyandsparky]

I never went the tobacco flavor route. I really wanted to stay away from it. I was a menthol smoker so I went to peppermint and other mint flavoring. I only upped it a few times and that was all I had to do. It will be 2 yrs next month and I've gone from 18mg to 12mg

i don't know i always like that flavor, of course everybody is different. Other flavors just leave a cotton candy flavor in my mouth after a while...i get tired and bored with it real fast. Congrats on your accomplishment!! it's really interesting to hear how we all evolved with vaping.

Everyone goes tit for tat on provari! Usually it does get good responses. Last time I won on the other thread with a picture of rocket and sockem robots and my provari beating a pico.
