Use One Flavor To Beat Analogs?

[Redbone]

As far as good cigarette flavors to beat analogs, FSUSA's new PureCig flavor is pretty darn close to getting the flavor and throat hit down. Get it with 30mg nicotine and you even get some of the nico-buzz. I was pretty amazed. Wish they had it out when I first started getting off analogs.

I would highly suggest it for newbie's to vaping to get them off the analogs.

Yeah, i had a few drinks last night and had a hard time saying what I meant to, lol. !!

Uhhh... Friday night... and I likely had more than you. I had to log on this morning to make sure I didn't say anything whack or piss toooo many people off... ha ha.

I actually ordered a big bottle of that today a I needed another LR atomizer... and I just got Wyatt Earp from them and don't like it. Soooo, another $60 later I have 2 LR and a bunch more juice on the way! lol I think I bought 60ml bottle of it... so I hope I like it... ha.

Edit; I almost forgot to check the mailbox... my SS battery and carto's also came! I need to stop ordering crap... ha.

 

[Redbone]

Yeah, the Wyatt Earp is a bit funny at first. When they sent me a sample I was so-so, then I tried it a little while later and loved it so got a bigger bottle.

I always try to order a smaller bottle of something i'm not sure about before taking the plunge and getting a larger one. Otherwise i'd surely be in the poor-house.

Retrain your brain.

I'm not so sure I want to. While I am trying some other flavors for short runs, in the long run I don't want to associate food flavors with nicotine. Because once trained, your brain will see it the other way around too. The flavor, in other contexts, may associate with nicotine.

One pattern I'm finding is important is the habit keeping the analogs in the same place I always did. Instead of on my nightstand, they now go into a the nightstand drawer. At work they are on my desk, or in the car they're now in a cup holder, instead of my shirt pocket. That's helping to break the autopilot of grabbing one even if the ecig is right in front of me. It makes me think a moment first.

TheBuss, I love your idea about retraining the brain. While I went with menthol to start, it's already clear that my brain is being retrained. Obviously it's not the same and really what I'm liking is the refreshing aspect to it - but then again, I went into this knowing that it wasn't going to be the same and maybe that's the difference.

People buy a pv that looks like a cigarette, try to find juice/carts that tastes like their brand and maybe they aren't doing themselves a service. Get away from thinking of this as a cigarette substitute and more as a way to get off of analogs comfortably while enjoying all the great flavors available out there. Maybe this is easier for me because I'm used to smoking a shisha and trying all the different fruit flavors.

Great hypothesis and I think you are right on with this.

Love it! You have to be very careful when getting on line to post while drunk or even just feeling loose LOL Much like calling people, typing up your thoughts may not always be a good idea after a few.. or three.. or ten

 

[TrippH]

TheBuss is buying a flavor supposed to closely resemble that of an analog? After all we went through last night.. Oh well, I didn't care for the Wyatt Earp at all either. Tastes like potpurri to me. Pm me and let me know how that purecig is though, please. I'm hesitant to buy anything else after so many uttter failures with "analog flavors"..

 

[DocWyatt]

LOL, I just want ONE flavor I like!! lol. I am in a desperate search...

WE tasted like black licorice to me.... I hate black licorice...lol. Even as a kid i was like how can you people eat that crap???

WOW

Oddly enough, both my husband and I have been in AA for 7 years-and not one drink. This post in and of itself makes me completely certain that anything you say from here out is completely moronic........Support saves lives. Hell-why are you here? We are former smokers quitting smoking by vaping-if your theory were correct-none of us should talk to each other.

Think about it.

@Suziesmom, agreed, remove yourself. This is what I have never understood about AA. If an alcoholic and the answer is to hang around other alcoholics and/or drug addicts for a cure? This makes no sense to me on any level. In fact, I think this is a very bad idea. You do not repeat the negative (no alcholol) to be cured. You simply think of other things - not dwell on not drinking or not doing drugs. The entire premise of AA seems severely flawed to me.

The AA premise would be to have a devil worshiper trying to be a Christian hang around other devil worshipers for "support". That may sound extreme - but it is literally exactly the same. The entire concept of AA makes no sense. Here is a newsflash: If you are a devil worshiper and you want to be a Christian - stop hanging out with devil worshipers!!! LOL. I mean hellooo common sense.

36mg 100%VG Vanilla Bean did the trick for me. When I got the cravings for an analogue (after a meal), I vaped that. It became my favorite flavor so I just cut down the nicotine to 12mg.

Think about it.

That's great for you. Personally I think their concept is misguided. Support should come from family/friends - anyone other than other alcoholics, in my view. Why? If a drug addict you don't hang around drug addicts. Simple. You hang around people that are NOT drug addicts.

But, it may work for many. I just think the premise is very flawed. However, this isn't a perfect world. While getting support from non drug addicts is ideal - many people have no other support. So it is likely better than nothing. I get that.

Hmm, that is a good point though. On here hanging around smokers.... That thought is a bit perplexing... I admit... lol. I need to think about it more... ha.

 

[DocWyatt]

Ok, I have thought about it some. Here is my conclusion. I believe it is best to not hang out on here like I do. Why? It makes me think about vaping more, has me buying more vaping stuff, etc.

Therefore, that is consistent with my premise. Hanging around people that have/had the same habit you want to eliminate is not ideal. It just isn't. While vaping may not be bad - it still keeps your brain on a certain topic.

You do not eliminate a negative by constantly discussing how to avoid the negative - you discuss a positive, meaning something else. By creating groups to meet to discuss avoiding a negative is therefore flawed, in my view. It may be better than nothing, but it is not ideal.

With that said am I going to stop coming on here? No... LOL.

Nightseer, I respect and admire that AA has worked well for you and your husband. That is great, It really is. Practically every male in my family is an alcoholic so I know a little bit about this.

For me, AA was great untill it was time to leave the group and then the wild parties and guilt took place. Since then I have retrained my habits so that I can drink at a party like any other moderately drinking human being can. AA works for a lot of people and thats great. Although it didn't work for me, im glad it does help some people.

But saying that everything thebuss says from the point of his comment forward is moronic, is even more moronic on your part. I could sit here and type up at least 2 pages of stuff myself about how AA doesn't work for me and how stupid it is but it would be irrelevant, wouldn't it? Because what works for you doesn't work for me. Thats why there are hundreds of different systems to break alcoholism as well as the systems in place to quit nicotine.

I couldn't start getting healthier untill I aligned myself with people that had the same healthier attitude. I.E. AA was a big fail, for me.

Bottom line: slamming somone for their opinons on AA is almost as bad for slamming someone because of their religious beliefs, and is also completely off topic. This forum is about vapin.

 

[DocWyatt]

It's cool Dan. It doesn't really bother me. Glad it worked for them. It is a touchy subject because of the importance of it.

This somewhat is similar to what type of ecig or flavor to buy. The answer is clear -whatever works for you.

But again, not to be redundant on this, the basic premise seems flawed to me. Let's say that 25% that go will quit. That means that 75% won't. Hanging around a group of people where you know 75% of them are going to do the exact same thing you are there to quit is logically flawed. Logically, this just seems like a very bad idea. It certainly is not ideal. But if the only option, then better than doing nothing, maybe.

 

[Dan1911]

I dunno. It never worked for me. These groups all being addicts, I see the temptation being too great. If you decide your done smoking, and you go to a bar. Guess what im going to do in a smoke filled bar? Im gonna smoke. Maybe not anymore just because the taste and the feeling I get is crap now, But, I would continue to do it if I lived that same life style.

lets say for example your a drug addict; If you remove every form of contact with your old drug dealers and start going to Drug Addicts Anonymous, what happens if you relapse? Your gonna try the weak links in your group to get what you need.

thats exactly why AA and the other stuff didn't work for me...I would have never been happy being the guy that couldn't drink at the wedding because I would get too rowdy, It made me feel weak. When I got it set in my mind I wanted to change my behavior AA and DAA was the farthest thing from my mind. Why? Its just the way my brain works.. I couldn't go that route.

That being said, Cigarette addiction is alot the same. If i decided to go to a bar with some friend and they were all smoking I KNOW its gonna be hard not to smoke. Thats why I try not to align myself in that situation and keep lots of different flavored atties and carto's on hand. I dont want to smoke, therefor im not.

 

[DocWyatt]

I agree on all counts.

I've always hated black licorice! But I like the red licorice, and sometimes, can't stop eating it (when I give in and buy a couple of bags, that is, which is rare--try to stay away from candy).
