Thanks to all for their help. You don't even realize how much you are helping people.

I started 12/21/13 (8 days ago). I got an eGo Twist (1300 mah I think) and some tank without markings and a Protank Mini 2 and two bottles of randomly selected juice. One tastes like cigs (Southern Gentleman) and the other is flavored (NeckBeards Nectar). The NeckBeard stuff is way better. I got the 18 mg/ml.

I smoke Marlboro Lights (2.5+ packs per day forever). I am 56. Needless to say, this e-cig crap won't work for me. I figured I would try it for when I am at a place that I can't smoke. Plus I could prove once and for all that nothing can help you quit.

4 days now without a cig. Unbelievable. Prior to zero, my numbers were like 3 or less per day.

Day 3 was the worst for me. Day 2 I drank a bunch of beer to see if that would make me want to smoke and I had a few cigs. Day 3 I couldn't get my nicotine levels right all day. I was light headed and my stomach hurt and I was messed up. So I went to bed and laid there until the morning and all was fine.

The Protank Mini holds 1.6 ml and I don't completely fill it nor completely use it all in a day. I think I am using 1 ml of the 18 mg/ml juice which seems low based on my calculations, so day 3 doesn't sound like it was possible to overdose. I think on day 3 I did 0.5 ml.

I did completely lose my appetite for maybe 5 or 6 days. All is normal now.

I already feel better. Thank you all.

Not even 1.6ml per day? That is not much at all. When I quit smoking (and was smoking less than you) I had the nicotine at 24mg per ml for about 2 months (no cigs at all) and then slowly reduced it. Right now I am at 9mg and I expect to be down to less than 5mg before summer. I am reducing it very slowly (2 years vaper) but it is working. I can't stand to even 12mg liquids anymore.

I am only using RBAs though and have ventured to sum ohm resistances lately to get back some throat hit but nicotine stays low.

Keep up the effort and you will soon realize how badly cigarettes suck compared to vaping. It happened for millions of people and can't see why not for you too.

I'm the 25th Art. Glad you found your way here. This is helping me so much, having a supportive community and somewhere I can go with questions (because the jerks at the vape shop down the street laughed at me when I asked for advice.) I found a new shop where I just so happened to know someone and I am beginning to amke my own Youtube videos, because watching videos of vaping helped me get excited about not only not smoking, but get excited about vaping. They also help me stay focused when I really want a cigarette.
