Vaping relapse...How many times for you?

[No ash More Cash]

This is my second time around as of sep 1/14...I did quite last xmas day for 2 months and was doing good with just egos's and ce4's but after a major stress factor in my life I did relapse...I'm hoping this time around it's for good....A good insensitive for me right now is all the money I spent on cigs I spend on vaping stuff and I still have money to put away

I've relapsed a couple of times but I was just using eGos and cheap cartomizers before. Now I'm on an MVP2 and using Kanger tanks, and I'm more satisfied.

I posted another thread about this but I'm finding that higher VG ratio liquid is more satisfying too. Hoping the equipment and juice upgrades will keep me from falling off the wagon again. Good luck!

First year for me was on and off and dual-use. But I always kept thinking that vaping is future and I need to find a way or at least keep trying. A little separation from smoking friends and 5 volt mod with liquinator was a breaking point (was a novelty back then). Now I don't need cigarette no matter what.

For me it's a mind set thing. I have to take breaks with smokers. I try to distance myself from them a bit. the Stink of the smoke get's me at times
Keep up the vape and hope for the best. ( A nautilus Mini helped me a lot)

Dozens of relapses here over the years.

The final one was when I allowed myself to smoke as needed while making the switch. No guilt, no stress.

That worked for me.

Good luck and go easy on yourself.

same with me now...I have a e-huge stacked with a aspire nautilus for home and a VTR with a aspire nautilus mini for going out and right now I'm looking for a 26650 mechanical mod for work

No ash, I tried vaping over 4 years ago. Started with cigalikes. Never really put down the cigarettes. Tried again 3 years ago. Still couldn't put down the smokes. February, got a better setup, but it still took another month. Been treating myself to pretty much any equipment I want, but I make my own coils and juice. No cigarettes since March 10. If I don't break even financially, I still win

If something stresses you, fill up your vape with your favorite flavor, and don't put it down! You'll be o.k. Just remember how many cigarettes you're NOT smoking now.

ive been vaping for about 2 years now ,but to this day i still smoke about 1 pack every two weeks . i love vaping but i didnt start vaping to quit. so if you smoke one big deal.

Almost a year with no relapses, but every now and then I'm gripped by the mad urge to smoke "today"....not a craving per se....just this insane idea that it would be a good thing. It always passes quickly but its unnerving none the less.

I'm thinking about making coils...I rolled my own cigs for 25 years 40 a day and I think that would help doing stuff with my hands...Not like I make 40 coils a day but it might help...lol

I've relapsed once that's why I'm always upgrading my vape to stay away from the stinkers but stay strong don't feel defeated

Well, there appears to be a market for pre-made coils. So you never know.

 

[Nishi]

Not yet.
I think of having a smoke or two, and have to remind myself not to give in to the urge as I'd started vaping to quit smoking.

It's not too hard(if I can do it, you certainly can!) There are tons of videos out here. I started on kanger coils for my EVODs. Got a couple of kayfun clones this summer. I don't sub-ohm, so I started by checking on my VV3s/MVPs. I did pick up a real ohmmeter (mostly so I can secure my kayfun decks - I don't have enough hands to hold and tighten screws!) I have a sufficient stash of the kanger heads, so I'm to a point where I don't have to rebuild but maybe once a month. Most of the time, I'm just pulling the wick and dry-burning. It's somewhat peaceful for me. Started making my own juice this summer too. Have an old computer hutch where I store my stuff and do my work. Happy setup for me

You can also clean plus pin like a maniac if that helps.

Relapse? hmm, did light up a smoke for a comparison like a month ago, draw was to tight, kept getting dry/burn hits, and the flavor really sucked. And the charge only lasted for one session. Very disappointing, and dangerous, sucker kept burning even when no button was pushed, or draw being taken. Was going to take it back to the B&M, and register a complaint.

Finding the right vape gear is instrumental in not smoking again. Just no way a burning tobacco product can compete with any of me vape gear, it be like pulling the navi/surround sound out of me CR-Z and putting in 8 track stereo, sure I can do it, but why would I want to????


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!

That would be cool

I have been watching vids about them both...Just today I started shopping around for PG/VG,Nic and flavors...The RBA I'm looking at is a genesis style with mesh

yeah I could see myself like that
