Tips to vape in moderation?

[Sally_]

I'm having a major issue with vaping too much or chain vaping. I just can't help myself. I always catch myself with my ecig puffing away

Obviously when you vape, you vape until you feel 'satisfied' where as with a cigarette when you're done with a cig you're done. Plus, I don't have the restriction of having to smoke outdoors with vaping, and even when I try to settle down by leaving it in the other room, I just can't seem to help myself. Aside from the price of draining my clearomizers, I'm getting horrible heartburn that is only an issue when I chain vape like a ninny.

Other than that anyone have any tips or tricks how to keep it down to a reasonably level?

For me it works with a great delivery system(various fairly low ohm mech-mods and RBA's) and 24mg juice. I never chain vape.
Used to smoke about 25 Marlboro Red 100's a day.

Place a no nic order on your favorite favors and vape away. If you want, up the pg a little if possible to maintain the throat hit.

When did you start vaping? How long has it been since you had an analog?

If you're early on, this is normal; keep a lower level nic juice in a separate tank. 0 nic should work too.

ummmm
uhhhhhhh

errrrrr

nope lol

been a vapor for over a year, chain vaping is fun!

if you really want to force yourself to slow down get some stronger nic, the kick will make you go whoa! and put the atty down for awhile.

Hello Sally. I was actually thinking about this last evening. I always smoked a cigarette because I felt I needed one.

I like you will chain vape at times. I actually find it relaxing when comparing it to smoking cigarettes. I guess my point is I used to smoke out of need but vape because I want to.

If you are concerned I guess you could use some kind of timer. Most cell phones have easy to use timers.

...and put the atty down for awhile.

Simply this - put it down for a bit. Maybe put it in a different part of the room so it's not to hand and you have to think about it and walk over to pick it up.

When smoking cigarettes how many I smoked a day could range widely. Since we don't smoke in my home, if I were home all day I might just smoke one or two when I let the dogs out so that's maybe 1-6 smokes mostly for something to do and kind of like a timer. I rarely went out just to smoke unless I was stressed. When going out and about though, we smoke in the car and where indoor smoking permitted (few restaurants and a smoker friends house) anywhere from 3-12 or more cigarettes. except when throwing darts then I become a chain smoking sailor.. actually they might blush a little at all the trash talk and joking around but that's a whole other topic.

I smoked an analog the other night with my mom while we took the dogs out, that's like our nightly thing. Originally I started vaping to curb my smoking even more, and the job I'm hoping to get has no smoking on the premises, not even thinking of quitting completely but while I'm not to the point of being disgusted by analogs like a lot of posts I've seen.. but I find that I do prefer my ecig. I'm slowly bring her over to the vape side.. she works at the same place so no smoking.. but I gave her my Njoy king sample to sneak some vape on break

I stop myself from chain vaping (when I actually don't want to chain vape) by using a flavor I can tolerate but don't really like with higher nic and PG than my ADV (usually 12 mg 50/50) 24 mg 100% PG puts the brakes on chain vaping for me. 8-10 pulls and my mouth is burning and dry as parched corn. That stops me until it wears of in a hour or so and, on the off chance it doesn't, the thin juice does flood the atty easier and, some inevitably gets in my mouth and on my lips, giving me vaper's chapped lips.

By the way, the mention of nic levels / throat hit.. Thought about trying out the 0nic liquid due to theories that vapor heartburn being connected. And Question about throat hit, I notice when I do have a good throat hit from a liquid I do become satisfied and tent to stop, but I'm having a hard time getting a consistent throat hit out of the liquids I use.. sometimes it's like smoking a really harsh stale cig that you find under the seat of your car and smoked out of desperation kind of throat hit.. then other times I get little to no throat hit from the same liquid/clearo.. what's that about?

What's your setup? Not enough juice on the atty perhaps?

Nope. No help here. Im a vapamaniac !!!

 

[Katdarling]

Me as well. Chain vaper, big time, and have been from Day One. If I could figure out how to get a nice vape while sleeping, I'd prolly do that too.

Sorry I don't have any tips or advice.

If I had one tho, I would agree with the other vapers who said to raise your nic strength.

 

[longwhitecloud]

I would say short term you could fix it by upping your nic levels but if you can put up with it for a bit start weaning down to 0nic. You will probably vape more as you wean off but will eventually break the nic addiction and only vape when you want to.

Vape in moderation? What, really, is that possible?

 

[State Of Zen]

If I could figure out how to get a nice vape while sleeping, I'd prolly do that too.

Thanks Kat! When I read that part I almost fell out of my chair laughing and nearly spit out my mouthful of coffee. hehe

What constitutes chain vaping anyway? In analogs it's easy to define, but with vaping? Is it the number of puffs per minute?

As for moderating vaping, I find limiting myself to the same rules as analogs (don't vape where you can't smoke) to help quite a bit. Also restricting vaping sessions to 5-10 minutes at a time (the time I used to take to finish an analog) helpful too. I have friends who still smoke so sometimes I vape only until they finish their cig to keep things timed.

But with 0 nic juices, why not just puff away?

I'm using 1.3ml e-Smart clearomizer on 808 batteries. I have 2 v4l short auto, reg v4l manual, and a Smokeless image X2. Now I know, batteries and voltage can play a factor but what I am talking about using the same battery, same clearomizer.

Earlier today for example took a hit of a doctored DKtab, very little to no throat hit, just got the flavor vaped for a bit. Went to do something cam back took a deep vape thinking nothing of it and got smacked in the throat.

I'm not one to sit still.. I'm one of those who's always tapping their foot, playing on a phone, nursing a drink.. etc etc so same thing with an ecig. But one particular night I sucked through a 3 full cartomizers of lquid. How that rates on average for most i don't know.. but for me that was a lot. I was really quite shocked when I realised how much I burned through. I don't do that all the time.. but I need to find my limits.
