Vaping + Drinking (Uh oh)

[throatkick]

This question comes up a lot, and high percentage of people do prefer tobacco flavors and/or more throat hit when drinking.

No doubt and it isn't only alcohol. I remember when I used to smoke, drags in the morning where much smaller. Then with coffee things progressed a bit. After lunch the drags started really getting longer. After a huge dinner it was 5 cigarettes one right after the other and each cigarette seemed to be 1 big, long, deep huge, drag. I have since quit alcohol and stay away from smokey surroundings. They offer me nothing at this point. Matter of choice/opinion you understand.

In the past, I have posted quite a bit about the psychological aspect of vaping as it relates to me. I quickly realized I needed my vaping setup to perform better than cigarettes. 5V, DD, 24mg, spare attys/batts/pv/backup green apple juice at all times. Take a drag and BAM! There is not a single smoker that has taken a drag from my PV and not coughed like crazy. If I want, I can take shorter drags, change to smoother juice or just blow out a bit before I inhale.

Higher volts not only increase sensation but also should allow you to be able to take multiple consecutive loooooong drags as well. You know... inhale, blow it out of your nose while taking the next drag...... BAM! BAM! BAM!

The main thing is to always know that you have the BAM! Stupid as this sounds, it is very comforting in situations as described by the OP ( for me at least)

EDIT: For me, higher voltage simply provided more ooomph than LR. More power, more capable.... just seemed to create more BAM! my 2 cents.

I was worried I'd smoke when I drank, but luckily I was able to replace cigs with e-cigs quite easily.

It takes a few weeks to get over analogs initially. After a few of months, you won't even think twice about smoking an analog.

As mentioned, increase the Nic when drinking.

It has been amazing to me just how well I have been able to keep the cravings at bay since I started vaping. A week after I quit smoking, I paid my bartender niece a visit at her work one night. I drank for about 4 hours and vaped the entire time. For me, it held my cravings completely and I found myself laughing at the other patrons who had to get up to go outside to smoke every 20 minutes. Every now and then, I will get a fleeting urge for an analog, but it passes real quickly. When I am around smokers now, I find myself getting disgusted by the 'stale cigarette' oder that lingers upon them, now that I can smell again.

Yeah the urge lingers for a while.

But after vaping for a year, it turns into a 'wtf how can you seriously smoke that crap' scenario

That about sums it up for me as well, I am still using a standard "pen style" 510 kit , and am starting to consider diving into a mod or 2, I find myself holding my PV quite often, especially when driving and running errands, and because I have my keys, my phone, my PV, etc etc to haul with me when I get out of the car, I end up sticking the PV in my mouth and dangling it like I'm holding an analog, sometimes I wonder if that looks dumber than doing that with an analog. ^_^

Anyway, back on topic, there is that no smoking in public places law here, and I have been successful at vaping in the bar when I go out, even though I may go outside with friends or under other circumstances, I get my satisfaction of NOT using an analog by knowing that I no longer HAVE TO go outside to enjoy myself, and can just vape away in the comfort of bad music and bad lighting...

I quit the very day I got my ecig in the mail 2 years ago next month. I remember the first few days were a learning curve, but definitely better than just quitting cold turkey. I can't remember if I even drank alcohol the first week or two......I don't know......Over time you won't even notice anything (at least I didn't) I vape strictly menthol too but I add a couple of drops of tobacco absolute and it's perfect.......But 24 mg is way too much for me......I get 24 mg but I cut it in half

I usually vape black jack mild 24mg when I drink and it works wonders for me not to have a cig.
