Still on 7 analogs/day :(

[fmx]

I've been vaping for a couple of weeks now. I've tried several different devices/flavors/strengths and found a happy medium. I was a pack a day smoker, and am now at 7 per day - but I wish it was 0... Does it just take time? I puff away on an ecig all day long and it does help with the cravings but isn't as satisfying as a real cigarette imo. Any words of wisdom?

You didn't say what strength nicotine you're using. You might want to up it a little.

Or some people don't find vaping enough and add Snus, or other alternative, to their regime.

Sorry about that. Strength is 8mg. 10mg makes me sick, and 6mg doesn't do anything for me. I really don't want to add anything else!

8 mg is pretty light. I was full PAD Marlboro, needed 24, though many have used 18 or even 12.

Does 10 make you sick instantly, or just if you continually vape it? You might want a higher strength for short durations, just a minute or two.

(I use higher strength as direct equivalent to a cigarette, drop to lower for chain-vaping at a computer.)

well dont get sick - its probaly NOT the nic youre craving if 10mg makes you sick - have you checked out Smokeless tobacco - E-Cigarette Forum and also Nicotine - E-Cigarette Forum - you might be one of hte people that would benefit from Swedish snus or stonewalls to get he MAOI your body might be craving (its not always all about nicotine ).

Having said that 7 is still a lot better than 20.

I felt sick after using a 10mg for two or three minutes... I think I inhale a lot harder than the average user... Aaagh this is annoying.

If eliminating them takes weeks or months, that's okay. Just don't stress out or it will make cutting them out harder.

Then I suggest proceeding forward in baby steps--be the turtle.

I guess that's my only option! Just gonna have to be stronger.

Don't knock yourself out about it. How much did you smoke before you started vaping? Probably way more than now. You're just getting started. Give yourself some time. You'll get there!

Here's a story you should read.

I'd be happy with that. What's that 2 am, 2 lunch, 3 getting home? Sound very good, if I could get there.

Thanks guys, encouragement is always appreciated.

And that story really hits home!

I really dont think the nic matters nearly as much as flavor and vape strength.
i smoked pack n a half of marlboro reds a day smoking 28 years. i cheated the 1st couple of weeks 4 times a day, morn, after my 2 meals and at night, then i got my ego and i cheated twice a day morning and after supper meal. then i got the lr atty and have not cheated since. been 3 weeks smoke free.
I vaped a chocolate variety throughout the day and then Marlboro wanna be in the morning, after meals and at night. the nic mg was 24, but throughout the process i have gone as low as 8, 12, 16, trying to find that perfect chocolate type taste. trying brownies, milkshakes, mints, peanut butter cups and so on and so on. one was even zero nic, and i vaped it throughout the day with the same performance as any of the others.
I started with blu, then 510, then ego, then ego with LR ATTY vaping the same kinds of liquids, so either the time and/or process helped or it's the ego with lr atty cause i cant go backwards yet. the ego with lr (low resistant) atty provide much more Taste, TH, and Vapor. I might increase to a mod down the road to see how much more it may be enjoyable, but for now this is doing the trick. i have spent a lot knowing i will save soon enough and i would have spent easily 200-300 on real cigs anyhow its almost a push.
Got the egos on sale from puresmoker for 49 bucks and one from tasty vapor for 15. get the lr attys from notcigs for 5.50 each. juices have been all over the place. Mrs Ts, vaporrenu, tasty vapor, dats, and value vapor. Will continue checking out vendors til I hit that massive sweet spot chocolate satisfaction until i use them all up then i will just go with who ever hit me best. the Marlboro wanna be, 5-5-5-, Flue-cured, and generic tobacco are almost a thing of the past though i still hit em sometimes.
I did have a real cig bout a week or 2 ago when wife went into hospital, only took 3-4 drags and said screw this, vaping taste so much better, and i could do that in her room. lol
Doesnt matter how much u reduce, how quick or slow you quit, it will eventually happen, just Keep Vaping.

Thank you!!! I'm going to look into an Ego with LR atty right now. Sounds like it will "simulate" what I'm craving better than my current 510.

Keep at it. Just remind yourself the benefits of quiting smoking.

I really didnt think i'd find anything better than a cigarette until I tried Wyatt Earpp from FSUSA.
