The "New Vaper Syndrome"

[peabrain]

i concur with those who've suggested upping your nic level during those "i need a cigarette" moments. i don't like tobacco juices but one of my local vape shops has a vanilla cigar tobacco juice that i like (i add a bit of toasted marshmallow to smooth it out and sweeten it up). i keep a small 18mg nic bottle of that and an atomizer with me at all times (only had to use it once and it was after about 15 hours partying on the 4th of july).

i'm teetering between 9-12mg nic now, having dropped down from 18 when i started vaping 7 weeks ago, and that bump up to a cigar-y 18mg nic juice really did help me. i was getting twitchy that night and it stopped about 10 minutes after i went to the stronger juice.

so it's worth a shot!

I'm bouncing between 12 and 18 mg right now. 18 keeps me WIDE AWAKE all night. But its really the flavor and burn of a cigarette that I crave in those moment. I actually bought a pack today, because my new juices haven't arrived yet, and absolutely everything has gone horrible today, starting with missing out on a float that I really wanted to go on, but I'd already committed to helping demolish the cabinets in my mother's bathroom. Then I ended up missing the PDX Thorns game that I REALLY wanted to go to, because not only do I love the game, and the team, it's against Western NY Flash, which means ABBY WAMBACH is there!! But it's sold out. And the culmination of the day is the notice I received that my apartment complex will be remodeling my building, and I have 60 days to vacate. This is during a period where my job has cut me back to part time, and my fiance is laid-off because she's a teacher and she doesn't work in the summer. So all in all, I needed a freaking smoke today. I know this is off topic for my own thread, but I got a little venty.

Well, I got 7 bottles of new juice in the mail yesterday along with my EVOD tanks. I love the EVODs so far. They vape great, and no leaks yet. But the juice is another story. Out of the 6 I've tried....two of them is pretty good. The rest...Hopefully they'll get better with age. Right now I'm not enjoying these "designer" flavors. And Maple Syrup tastes like smoked maple syrup. "Kryptonite" just tastes like Sprite. But The Patriot is pretty much everything I was looking for in a Tobacco flavor, so that will help.

[UPDATE] After only a few days, most of the juices that I HATED when I got them have already gotten significantly better! I mean "Kryptonight" still tastes like Sprite, but it's mellowed out significantly. Only a few days of steeping can make a huge difference. And a nice little feature of Diamond Vapors juice is they print a "birth date" on their bottles, so you can know exactly how long they've been steeping.
