Vaping: The One Drawback

[B Pak]

When I used to smoke cigarettes, I would always have one first thing in the morning which would help me take my #2 afterward. Gross, I know, but seriously haha.. After smokin' that thing to the filter I would basically book it to the bathroom and handle my business. Quickly. vaping just doesn't have that same effect, which is probably a good thing, but now I gotta just sorta wait 'til it's ready. I hope someone can relate. lol.

honestly, i know exactly what you mean, i used to wake up, smoke my first cig of the day, then go take the browns to the super bowl. now i just kinda wait around till whenever it's time

 

[B Pak]

And that "time" usually ends up being at the worst time haha.

 

[scubasteve25]

seems to happen to me the most while im out with the family, or watching a movie with my girl or something

I find vaping works for me but will take 15mins or so.

Try going for a walk in the morning instead. Walking will get everything moving, either that or guzzle down some water before bed (and hope that doesn't have you up all night) but ya, I always figured it was the coffee......I would just be starting my first cup o coffee, and would have to run, not so much anymore.

 

[DonG]

Never really thought about it, but you are right. Used to be half a cup of coffee and first cig meant off to do "morning business". Not so much anymore. Never even noticed really, much less attribute the change to vaping instead of smoking.

Interesting. Several PV-using co-workers were talking about this a couple of months ago, and they were all saying that they've been dealing with the same sort of disruption since giving up cigarettes.

Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with this at all.

I used to have one cig as soon as i got up but now i can last till i get to work and then i have a few vapes with my morning coffee but has taken a while to get into this routine.

I haven't been vaping long enough to give up the morning and after meal cigarettes. I recall reading somewhere that researchers were looking into the almost universal desire of after meal cigarettes among smokers. I think they were finding that something in cigarettes aided digestion and the chemical latched onto the nerves or reacted upon them. It could be related to your change in regularity.

For those that have been vaping a while, do you still have a craving to vape after eating?

 

[tuakong]

Well, I still crave for a vape after meals but it's more of a habit/routine rather than the nic addiction.
As for the dumping routine in the mornings, nah....never occur to me even pre-vape times.

Absolutely. And sometimes I do.

 

[B Pak]

And I meant a cigarette, not vape.

there's a fair amt of threads around with folks going into bio specifics about regularity and nicotine/cigs and as far as i recall the vape typically isn't strong enough to get the peristalsis or whatever going...more caffeine, more water and exercise..it is a hassle though

 

[Silent Soldier]

I don't realy care if I do get that side affect. It'll be worth it to not hack up phlegm every morning.

 

[Medic88]

Just had to think through it. Still have craving to vape after eating, maybe just habit. No cigs for 4 months now.

I don't think your analog promoted your constitutional; I'd say the habit of smoking in anticipation of the constitutional was the thing.

Just like you're developing a new habit of vaping in lieu of smoking, you'll be able to develop a habit of vaping and then "moving."

 

[Scorched]

I never expierenced delayed bowel movements since I quit smoking but I did notice a greatly increased level of daily flatus which was far more than when I used to smoke. Eating fiber will get you regular in no time

 

[DaveP]

Metamucil ... the key to regularity.

 

[Dellboy]

For me the biggest problem between smoking and vaping is that there is no end to a vape.

I'll explain - when I smoked I'd say to myself I'll have a ciggie then do the dishes, go to work, moe the lawn ect.

with vaping the joy just goes on and on and I often find that a quick vape turns into a half hour, or more, chillin session.
