First, I hope this isn't violating any rules. I reviewed them and I don't think it is. My apologies if I am mistaken.

So, a lot of people I know used to smoke either exclusively or at least more frequently when they drink alcohol. Myself included, I used to smoke at least 3 times as much per hour compared to sober.

My question to you guys is, if you are of the alcohol enjoying crowd, how do you like vaping while you drink compared to smoking? Personally, I enjoy it a lot more, but I tend to get a very unpleasant dizzy feeling much more quickly compared to analog smoking.

I've read dozens of threads about vaping and drinking, but I've never heard that before.

Likewise.

It's been a long time since I could sit in a bar and smoke. Now I can vape and enjoy it very much, and also get lots of enquiries about my APV.

You might just be getting an overdose of nicotine. Try using a lower nic juice when you drink.

This has not happened to me. You say 'very unpleasant dizzy feeling much more quickly compared to analog smoking'. Does this mean you got the same feeling when you were smoking and drinking?

Yes, in that statement I was referring to more towards the end of the night lol. When I'm feeling heavily buzzed and smoke analog cigs I would get very dizzy. Now that I am a vaper of 3 1/2 years I still get dizzy off a few hits of my ego twist, and now my new Vamo V2, very early in the night. I normally vape 18 mg nicotine, but I've gone as low as 11 mg while drinking and I get the same feeling but with less throat hit, so I opt for the regular 18 mg and good throat hit.

I do enjoy vaping when I drink. I use stronger flavors like my own tobacco juice with an extra flavor shot in it or a strong menthol/mint with another flavor added. I also think it's the nic that's getting you. Unfortunately there is no real way to get good TH with low nic juice. I vape zero nic now and there is no TH, it's all about flavor and vapor for me. Best of luck with it!

You can raise the pg content in your juice to kind of counter the missing throat hit from dropping nic. My ADV has been a 50vg/50pgmix @ 12mg. Before I switched to RBA and mech. devices I was using 24mg 70/30mix. If I even try to use the 24 now it makes me dizzy, headaches, sweats, nausea, etc... It's no good. Try a lower nic level juice with a more equal vg/pg ratio like 50/50 or 60/40, see if it works for you.
