I can't wait to experience a cigarette tasting awful. Sometimes, however, they do seem unnecessary, and that gives me hope.
It's usually when I've gone way longer than normal without smoking. If I break my routine (away from home, not driving, etc) I can vape all day and never think about smoking. So then at the end of the day when i light one up it's like "Why?" But that first one the next morning still tastes good.
Just curious. Has anyone gotten so comfortable with their tank that they regularly do the last few puffs laying in bed and vaping with the tank upside down? Took me a looong time to get there.
Took me a looong time to get there.What gear do you have now that you feel may be inadequate?
I am using a Juul (which is ok) and a v2 ex which has been unreliable. Neither of these are going to get the job done - moving from a half pack to a quarter pack. I need something that is more intense. I am researching the Innokin t22. But am totally open to suggestions.

I have no personal experience with the devices mentioned but I doubt the pod mods will get you there myself. I'm quite impressed with what I've read about the T22. What I do have in mind is a bunch of excess gear that I have going unused that I believe is comparable to the T22. Price is right.... Just allow me the pleasure of trying to help? I won't get home to send them for about a month tho.
I have 2 Kanger SubTank Minis (one authentic 1 clone) that need a new home. A few months worth of Subohm throw away coils. And I'll toss in a pair of Joyetech eGo ONE VT batteries for power.
None of this stuff cost me anything. I traded a prize I'd won for the tanks and bought the batteries as full kits in clearance just to get my beloved eGo ONE tanks that came with them. I think what I'm offering would be a close match for the T18. So if you have a month to wait just let me know. I've been hoping to find someone to pass them along to.
What I'm offering is the white tank in this pic.
And the black batteries on the left side of this pic.

Hi, @medleypat , welcome to the thread. You'll find that every person here is, or has been where you are. For some people it's much harder than for others. I've heard many people say that it's much harder to quit the second time than it was the first.
Did something happen that caused you to pick up the smokes again, or is your equipment just not doing it for you anymore?

Welcome @medleypat Glad you're here. Hope we can help. I gotta hit down the road right now tho. Hope to get outta Mississippi before the storm
Thanx, Don't beat yerself up about stumbling. You'll get back on track when you're ready. I quit after my first 2 weeks of vaping, that lasted 3 months and went to dual using. I couldn't believe I went back to cigs but those 3 months were a constant battle and I finally caved.
Here I am almost 2 years later and I've finally quit for good. It just feels right this time, no self denial no cravings no problems.
Give yourself time and don't give up on your vape. Do you build coils or DIY? I feel like over the 2 years of dual usage I created the vape that freed me. Finding the right build and right juice took time, but I had a ton of fun doing it. I'm not a flavor chaser by any stretch of the imagination. Throat AND chest hit along with vape texture were the secret for me.

Cool! I'll send you a PM when I'm heading home you can reply with your mailing address then. I just hope it helps you. It was my 2nd favorite tank but I've got 8 of my favorite so it just doesn't get used.
Well that darn sun is trying to come up again. Looks like we've got a brand new day ahead of us. I think it may be a wet one here in Wisconsin. How we all doing today?
I'm vapin away on my newest Pico. The 26650 Mega. eGo ONE Mega V1 tank filled with a VERY diluted commercial tobacco flavor called Mellow Gold.

Hi, guys. I worked 3 back to back doubles and I'm just now back to feeling human again. 
I'm happy everyone is doing well or at least holding their own. It really does help to have people to talk to when you're having a hard time or even when you're doing well.
Keep us updated!

Yes, I am leaning towards the T22. I got the v2 ex starter kit around a month ago. I liked it but found the batteries completely unreliable - neither will hold a charge now. Fortunately, I also got the Juul starter kit which has been reliable and has kept me vaping. I still smoke 9/10 cigarettes a day but that is down from 25/30 per day for decades.
I tried 5 years ago with V2 cartridges and it didn't stick. The V2 clearomizers (sp?) are exponentially better and it's sticking this time. V2 juice is relatively expensive but their 1.8 mix is close enough to nip the craving. It's at 70/30 PG/VG and provides a nice throat hit. Everyone is different on this one.
Since you're in Brooklyn, I'd find a good vape store where you can find juice that works for you. Cigs are so expensive in NY that you'll recoup your cost of experimenting very quickly. The right juice with a T22 should help a lot!
I'd also consider switching cigarette brands to something you'd normally despise for the 10 cigs/day that you're still doing. My next pack of cigarettes (if necessary) will be Winston Menthol
Not smoking 15 to 20 cigs/day is a great start. Making the ones you do smoke less satisfying might also kick things in the right direction. Keep trying at this and don't waste 5 years (as I did) before trying again.
Best Wishes
David

Thanks for advice and encouragement, David. I never liked Winston, but Winston Menthol - sounds like hell on earth, which of course, is the point you are making.
