Tips on avoiding vaping "fatigue" when quitting cigarettes?

[100years]

I'm not sure how to explain it.

I really enjoy vaping. What usually happens is, I successfully and easily avoid smoking for several days with my e cig.

After about the third or fourth day I get the sensation that my mouth feels too moist and the vape doesn't deliver that sensation; it almost becomes sickening. Then, I reluctantly reach for a smokey cigarette, and the cycle between vape and cigarettes continues.

Any little tips on how to vary the vaping experience and avoid that cycle for anyone who has been in the same boat?

Learn to put it down and take a break, and drink plenty of water. Moderation and water is the key to not getting vapors tongue.


And if you want to stop reaching for the cigarettes completely... Stop buying them! Force yourself to change, that's the only way this will work. Any e-cig is not the magic bullet to make you quit, you have to want to change.

If you're vaping e-juice with a high percentage of VG, you might try switching to something with more PG. Propylene glycol is (I'm told) a dessicant, meaning it absorbs moisture.

Being new to vaping myself, and not having had this problem, I'm only offering a suggestion based on what I've read/googled/stumbled across.

Good luck, and don't give up, eh? (as we say in the Great White North)

I found it best for me, to use non tobacco flavors, and switch between a few different ones during the day. sometimes using a flavor with some mint in it and a mostly pg juice cleans my taste buds. Also drinking lots of water helps. now tobacco cigs taste crappy to me.

Get a higher nic and/or different flavor juice or two or ten. When I quit I kept some 24 mg juice around, even though I was vaping 12 so I could have something that would punch me in the back of the throat. Mixing up your flavors helps too. You have to spend a little cash and find a juice or two you love.

I agree with despraci water and moderation is key. Also do not buy analogs. When I smoked my last one that was it. I haven't looked back, well with envy atleast. The bright side is ahead. You can feel better on just two weeks of no analogs. I am in the best shape of my life and I mean I can do more than when I was a smoker at 20 years old. Hang in there and if you need support email me or message me when you get the urge. I will even give you my cell phone number in a private message if it will help.

Hi 100, I also recommend what others have said, moderation is key, rotation of flavor to keep the taste buds at attention, drink some water along with your vaping sessions. JMO.

I typically use four different flavors during the day. I find that it helps tremendously!
Hope you find something that works for you!

From what you wrote your saliva glands are putting out more saliva. Smoking will decrease salivation, so after a period of time your glands are just releasing more saliva. This will cease after some time, the key is to not smoke and allow the glands to normalize secretion on their own.
The extra saliva is coating the taste buds and in some cases can inhibit flavor sensation. Just as "cotton mouth" can make taste become lessened.

Try rinsing with salt water every now and then, this will actually help dry out the mouth some....even though at first it may produce saliva but it will soon dry up.

The smoking to offset the salivation is just a vicious circle, quit and allow the glands to normalize...best of luck!
