Vaping much more frequently than I used to smoke

[Headabovewater]

Is that normal? I can't figure out if it's b/c I'm getting the nicotine in a different or if I feel less guilty about vaping so I am doing it more than I normally smoke. Anyone else?

Also, I have now made it two days with no cigarettes and this morning thought, "Maybe I should just take the pack out of my purse and put it away." I haven't done it yet but WOW, even to have that thought....vaping is way better than I thought it would be. Yay!

It may be 'less guilt'.
another option is you may not be getting the nicotine required to sooth the urges due to juice with to low of a dosage.
or it may just be that you like to vape.

I pretty much vape from wake up time to bed time, I enjoy it.

Very normal. I vape more than I smoked because it tastes so yummy.

It happens to almost everybody, I think some of it is the novelty of being able to vape in some places where smoking was out of the question. You'll level off eventually and not even realize it.

When I smoked analogs I was a closet smoker and tried to minimize the wife seeing me do it. So I would only smoke on the back patio or when I could sneak out at work, etc. With Vaping it's much easier to do it without people knowing. When I started I quickly started vaping non-stop.

I've been slowly getting it under control and lowering my Nicotine levels in eliquids to compensate.

Welcome , and I basically chain vape now . If I'm awake , I probably have a PV in my hand . I did smoke 2 packs a day , but still vape way more . But then I figure it's a guilty pleasure that's better then smoking analogs .

And you don't have to get up and go outside to vape.

I think this is totally normal...

I know I do it for 3 reasons:

No Guilt
More Opportunities (I can sit and vape in my home)
The "oh wow" Factor (Amazed by the tech of it... this will probably wear off... maybe. )

+1 Totally agree.

When I began I vaped and vaped and vaped and could care less about how many ml and mg I was vaping. I have slowly begun to wean myself off/ away from vaping- 20 mg during the day and 10 mg in the evening. Lots of times, on short trips, I'll purposely leave my PV at home. Funny thing even though I'm still ingesting nicotine the same as when I was smoking I don't get the same overwhelming urge and need for a vape as I did with an analog. Vaping is all very personal and I am NOT saying anyone should follow my lead...it's just the way I want to do it.

I chain vape only to see how many refills I can get out of an extremevizion...I swear.

LOL. that IS funny.

 

[blueridge]

I pretty much chain vape right now, but I think it's because I'm not getting enough nic, or might need to try WTA.

I did not do my homework before buying e-cigs. If I had, I'd have known that I needed a higher nic level and a better device. I have a Provari on the way, and a 24 and 36 strength liquids coming also. Hopefully that will help.

I think I vape about the same as I smoked. The difference is that I drag 2 or 3 times before setting it down vs one drag on the analog before laying it in an ashtray. I walked to the smoking section at work with my PV for the first time Monday and noticed that my PV went to my lips more often than the smokers put their analogs to their's. But because the absorbtion rate is lower with a PV, I'd have to say its pretty much equal, just SEEMS to be more.

 

[ChaosTheory]

I def vape more than I smoked. I try to vape for like 20 puffs, then put it down for a couple hours.. but fail.. I keep it in my shirt pocket and vape all the time. it's fun and awesome and keeps me away from analogs.

 

[Headabovewater]

Phew - very glad to see this is normal!

I think I have been vaping more b/c of ALL of the reasons all of you have given. I think I'm just going to give myself a break about it for a little while. I have some lower nicotine juice on the way and will throw that into the mix at some point.

I think I just can't get over the novelty - I love it!

 

[murrajes]

I do the same thing and it believe it's because I don't feel so guilty. The amount of vaping I'm doing has actually caused me to dramatically decrease the nicotene level to ZERO, so I can do it more! And you know what? I don't miss the nicotene! I guess it's all about the "adult pacifier" thing for me.

 

[DaveP]

It's normal. We are all vaping fiends. The only way to curb that is to leave the PV in a specific place and walk to it when you feel the urge. Hit it for a few minutes and then put it down and walk off.

 

[hildicat]

It's definitely a pacifier for me as well. I have dropped to about three mg by mixing my own juice and don't miss the high nic. I do chain vape all day but I really think it's really because I enjoy the action of doing so, plus the flavors are so good.
